serve To be given $4,000 for the
maintenance of state museum, ac-
cording to Judge Swan, Democratic

priation from $4,000 to 5000.

JAPANESE WEDDING

Thursday evening at the First
Baptist church Of our city, under
the auspices Of the "Scherrer Team,
Of the Ladies Aid Society,"" was
pulled of a wedding, a Ia Jap. which
was picturesque, instructive, in
spring and beautiful.
The Groom, like q foolish man,
rushed recklessly In where Omnisci-
ence has denied angels the right to
tread, and annexed 70 himself a
yellow Peril" with q degree OF
abandon that perhaps had a tinge Of
Stoicism in It.
The Bride--the chattel of her
matchmaking parents had the lamb
led to the slaughter skinned a city
block for dumbness, but no doubt
will all too soon make up for lost
time when she is allowed the free
speech constitutionally granted to
her.
The most honorable Parents, on
both sides. who concoted, planned
and executed this launching of the
barque upon the matrimonial sea,
drank their tea with an expression
Of IN take sugar in mine too."
The Bridesmaids futtered their
fans as IL they would fain ward of
any matrimonial bees which might
be seeking a lodging in their bon
nets.
The Flower Girls and the Rice
Boys were particeps criminis with a
readiness to do or bust" air which
stamped them as Johnnies at the
designated place with punctuality.
About the Go-Between, we have to
congratulate her upon the fortunate
time at which she made her entrance
upon the scene, for il might have
been better never than later.
Sorry could not be present and
hope neither Of the contracting
parties will ever envy me.

a town in Illinois is advertising
for a newspaper and offering liber-
al cash bonus for some newspaper
man to install a plant and begin the
publication of u weekly newspaper.
A few years ago this town had two
good papers but the merchants com
bined to cut down expenses and
agreed to stop advertising in the
newspapers. T hey figured that
there was just 80 much business to
be- acquired and everybody in town
knew where each store was located
and what each handled for sale;
therefore advertising was useless
expense. The owners of the papers
soon exhausted all means Of support
and could not secure enough foreign
advertising to pay their bills, so they
closed their shops and left town.
The mail-order houses of Chicago
heard Of the plight Of the merchants
and placed their catalogs in every
home in that town and vicinity. The
plea made by the merchant to pat
ronize home industry went no farth-
er than their own store and the town
was dead. Now they are offering
financial aid to any man who will
come to their town and start a pa
per
The best way to Sight fire is with
fire and the best way to fight these
mailorder houses is advertising in
the local newspaper privilege de-
MED these outside mercantile stores.
IL you have good newspaper in
your town don't begrudge what
little you spend for advertising as il
will pay you in more ways than one.
Don't put the ad in just to secure
the editors business, but write your
message in such way that ii will be
read and believed by the public.
Stand by the prices you advertise
and don't tell your customer the
printer set it wrong after you have
made a sale. BE content with a
smaller profit and do a larger VOL
ume of business. Keep busy and
you won't have time to knock the
town and country. Your customer
never believes you when you say
you are selling goods for less than
cost. Tell the truth, advertise, keep
busy and the town will appreciate
you and the citizens will buy your
wares.

QUARANTINE NOW ON

Washington, Feb. Is. Foot and
mouth disease quarantine regula-
tions were extended by the depart
ment of agriculture today so as TO
include all the territory east Of the
Mississippi and north of the Tennes-
see in a restricted area out Of which
no livestock except for slaughter
within 4S hours, will be permitted to
the south or west.
All Of the great slaughtering GEN.
ters are located in the restricted ter
ritory and there is little shipping Of
live cattle out of il, but the new or
der was deemed necessary to protect
the stock producing sections from
infection.
Two important new regulations
were added today. one defining i'm
mediate slaughter. Us used in exist
ing orders as within forty eight
hours" and another prohibiting the
transportation of livestock in any
part of the United States after Feb
ruary II, except in disinfected cars.
Owing to the fact that few or no
cases of foot and mouth disease have
been found in Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Vermont, Maine and the Dis-
trict ~ Columbia, stock owners in
these jurisdictions will be permitted
under the revised recilations..to ship
out stock upon affidavit that IL has
been on their farms for a certain
length Of time and has not been ex-
posed to any risk Of contagion.
A statement issued tonight by the
department said:
THE recent discovery of few
cases where cattle. shipped from
areas where the disease had existed,
carried it to previously uninfected
sections such as four counties in
Kansas, convinced the department
that no precautions will make such
shipments absolutely safe. The new
measure. il is said. should confine
the disease to the region in which il
has already made its appearance and
in which the work of eradicating it
will be pushed as before.
In this restricted territory live
stock may be moved freely to other
points within the same territory, but
cannot pass beyond the limits of the
quarantined area except for immedi'
ate slaughter. The regulations gov
erning the area known respectively
as closed, exposed and modified re-
main practically the same as before
