POSTOFFICE AT
GARNEILL ROBBED

Last Friday night some time be-
tween the hours of 11:OO and $50 the
pOstotlice at Garneill was robbed of
aim ost $500 in money and stamps.
A dance was in progress in She'll
Il Erickson's hall Immediately &C.
cross the street from W. s. Manley's
general store, in which the pOstOftice
is located. Some party or parties,
thoroughly familiar with the interior
of the store AZ we'll as the fact that
Mr.. Manley was at the dance, enter
ed the building by moving two large
drv goods boxes which had been Sc
curely nailed to the sidewalk in front
of the east window, which had been
cracked for some time. and then they
removed enough loose glass 50 as to
permit entrance.
The postofiice cash register was
opened and money and stamps secur-
ed to the amount of over $500. Then
the register of the store was ritied
and a small amount Of cash taken.
Mr.. Manley was not able to discover
the loss Of anything but the money
and stamps, although the store was
well stocked with general merchan-
disc.
Deputy Sheriff Rice was notified
and spent part of the day in and
about Garneill and was successful III
80 far as getting several strong clues.
Later in the day he was Joined by
Deputy Sheriff Phil McGowan of
I.ewistown and although no arrests
have been made yet, the two deputies
still have hopes Of landing the guilty
parties. II is thought very probable
that the same parties who burglar
lied W. H. Peck store shor. time
ago are the same that performed the
postoflice depreciation.
Mr.. Manley, the postmaster. un-
less the money and stamps are re-
covered, will very probably have to
reimburse the government to the ex-
tent of the loss us it is one of the
prescribed requisites of the post
office department to have safe in
every postotiice and even then the
postmaster is instructed to keep a
small amount of cash and stamps in
the postottice at any time regardless
OF whether he may have safe or not.

GOPHER DAY
! Big SUCCESS
THE FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN
HAVE DECLARED GOPHER DAY
BEST THING YET
THE RIGHT SPIRIT SHOWN
The Business Men of Judith Gap have enter.
ed upon a campaign against the
gopher which shows beyond
question that they are
wideawake

No matter where you go through
out this section of the state you hear
much praise for the people OF Judith
Gap for the Inauguration Of the sue
cessful campaign against the gopher.
One man in nearby nelghbOrhOOd
said: 81 can't imagine of man so
narrow as to send his money away to
Il mail order house after the strel,u-
Gus campaign the business men of
Judith Gap are making against the
gopher, but maybe some people fig
ure that if they continue to patroniZe
those mail order establishments IL
few years longer they will come out
from Chicago and elsewhere and dis
pose Of the gophers in their own way,
but then again, there is grave dan
ger that the gopher will eat this sec
tion up slick and clean before the
mail order houses would take inter.
est enough to start campaign
against the gopher"
This has been no small undertaking
on the part of the business men and
it deserves all the praise which is be-
ing, and will be, bestowed upon it.
1t will cost the business men several
hundred dollars, but then. if you
want to look at it from 4 selfish
standpoint, they wont lose anything.
The business men are killing the
gopher to keep him from eating up
thousands of dollars worth of grains
and they expect to get even financial
ly because they will have saved these
thousands of dollars for the farmers,
and they. the farmers, will have that
much more money to expend with
Judith Gap business men for neces-
sS1ties for themselves and their fami-
lies.
The farmers everywhele are loud
in their praise OF the business men OF
our little town for the anti gopher
campaign. They feel that thev will
receive direct benefit from the
event. Several have remarked on
the numerous 4th of July celebrations
in our own immediate neighbOrhOOd
and what Il vast good could have been
done for the entire section If they
had used their money for the exter-
mination of the gopher instead OF
gathering it together in powder
noise and horse races.

OVER TWENTY RAINS ALREADY
THIS MONTH ASSURES CROPS.

We have had a good substan-
tial rain every day during the
past month and on some of the
DAYS even better than that.
1t has been estimated by many
that the rainfall already this
month will considerably excs,d
SIX inches. This amount cam
not be stated with certainty at
this time but within a few days
we expect to be able to have
the rainfall and other weather
reports regularly from one of
the government weather sta
tiOns in this section.
The rainfall this month has
assured this section of the state
agood crop. People who have
spent a great many years in the
state say that never before have
they seen grass and crops so
} excellent as they are at the
\ present time.

ed by the dealer if he would devote
some attention to explaining business
details that the customer does not
understand. Newspaper space can be
utilized to advantage in showing the
difference between mailorder and or
dinary retail terms of sale. The com
sumer knows that the catalOg house
exacts cash in advance, but he does
not realize that such terms make
difference in the price. Neither does
lie always understand-until he has
learned by experience-that on mail
order shipments he pays the freight.
He Overlooks the important fact that
when he buys from the catalog house
he is contracting for "p,g In poke"
whereas the dealers stock may be
examined and the merits of each arti-
Gle determined in advance of buying.
These points of general character
ought to figure in every retail adver-
tising campaign. They should of
course be supplemented by specific
advertising that will create sale for
specific goods. and whatever the text
! NAV be, first, last, and always. every
statement made should he absolutely

tising and truth were apt not to har-

UMPIREs SHOULD

Cedar Rapids Fans Have Hammer Out
for the Indicator Guys Who
Don't Announce Loudly.

CEDAR RAPIDS, July 2.-That the
umpires OF the Central Association
know absolutely nothing about the
system Of announcing the batteries
and the changes in players is the
opinion of many Cedar Rapids fans
They ask that their opinion be voiced
on the sporting page and that Presi-
dent M. E. Justice and the ball club
directors who will hold a special
meeting this month make an effort
to devise rules which will make the
announcements by the jumps of some
value.
What the fans dislike is that the
umpires make their announcement to
the press box only, and leave about
ninety.nine per cent of the fans in
the park to guess as to who is pitch
ing or catching for both teams. The
bugs declare that, the umpire has

The first water boob who gets
away with Sports on the Waterloo
Times-Tribune had fuss with his
wife or best girl on Tuesday morn

with the statement that "Keo-
kuk and Kewanee are proving a source
Of trouble to the other clubs of the
league but from the recent showing
of Cedar Rapids it looks as if one
of them would have to occupy the bot
tom round at the close of the season"
This statement is too lI.icrous to
even flare back at Percy because he
made it but then we all have to learn.
This same prognosticator Of base
ball club standings in the article he
has Matched up, remarks
From the present standard of play

would be an even bet to pick either
