UNCLE JUDD'S LYRIC ON
BUYING AT HOME FIRST

Prophets often without honor are
where they should be best known;
Some goods seem more attractive
when a foreign labels shown;
I'll admit mail order catalogues will
oft beget wish;
For one must use a shining bait to
lure the wary fish;
But if you really knew which side
your bread was buttered on.
You'd do your trading here at home
with Hank or Bill or John;
You'd find their goods were honest,
and you wouldn't have to wait
So why not patronize your friends
who don't charge any freight
These other merchants out of town,
do you suppose they care
A jitney for the little burg, or ever
do their share
Towards building roads, supporting
schools, or payin' in their tax?
No more than do the peddlers with
their little cheap-john packs;
Their only interest in you is quite
pecuniary;
With your dollar in their pocket you
can go to-Tipperary.
just think of this netx time before
you go and shop by mail,
And give Prosperity a chance to camp
upon your trail.
See and Examine" Safety First"
Let these your slogans be
Give them chance. and home town
goods will suit you a 7.

At this social the members OF the
school will report on the results OF
the way in which they have invested
the dime which was given them on
the first OF September. 1t Is thought
there will be considerable rivalry
among the members of the school for
the purpose of showing who has been
most diligent in investing the money
given them.
The school regrets very much Mrs.
W. G. Hughes will be compelled to
give up her class as teacher on ac-
count Of the fact that she and her
husband contemplate moving to Ham

ever, that she will take UP the WORK
there with interest and the Hamilton
church will profit in the way the
Keolkuk school has lost. Mrs. Hughes
and her husband have been very faith
full in church work and have rendered
very faithful service.

II there is no silo on the farm, this

WHAT TO DO FOR
ITCHING SKINS.

Eczema, ringworm and other itching.
burning skin eruptions are so easily
made worse by improper treatment that
one has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not hes
itate to use, even on baby's tender
slsin-that is, the resinol treatment.
Resinol is the prescription of a Balti-
more doctor, put up in the form of res
mol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved so remarkably successful that
thousands of other physicians have been
prescribing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption quick
~ and at little cost. Resinol ointment
and resinol soap can be bought at any
druggists.
