The illumination Of the Golden
Rule Store for the first time with
its new system of lighting, last
Saturday evening, created much in
terest on the part of the shopping
public as well as much favorable
comment generally. There are four
lights, each of 400-candle power, IL
ed with nitrogen gas, which gives
forth a soft, white light, making it
possible to distinguish colors as
well at night as in daytime. The
Golden Rule is certainly up-to-date
now in its lighting equipment.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SIRE

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SIRE.
The Importance of good s:res has
never been questioned, however
there is lot of thrifty dairy farm
ers who make the mistake so COM
mon among men with small herds,
of using a common or grade bull of
questionable ancestors, feeling that
they cannot afford registered sire
of record, on account of owning a
small herd of COWS.
Here is where you are making the
mistake of your life, for good
sire will double the producing value
of the herd in very short time and
more than double the selling value
of the whole herd. Read Hender-
shots ad today on page 6, this
paper. They are reliable and will
give you a square deal.
