general tenor Of the conclusions
reached is that Germany has food
enough to last another year, even
if she reaps no harvest his year;
that the conservation of fpod sup

there is no danger Of the Germans
being starved out; that the Ger

1t is genuine pleasure to con

man that is responsible for what
he sells. He is the man that will
correct any defect and make it
good He is the man that helps
you to build good roads and il
everything else that is looking to
make life worth while.
The home merchant is always
ready and willing to sell goods as
cheap, and might say, oftener
much cheaper Quality considered)
than any other mail order house
in this country. He is entitled to
your most worthy consider alton,
and a little careful study will con-
vince any man or woman that it is
to their best interest always to buy
at home.
The home merchant has the
goods and will sell them always to
meet any Legitimate competition.

STATE health authorities say,
that with a waterworks system
our town, would be less liable
to contract typhoid fever. 1t is
said there are some two or three
large flowing springs over the
hill within one and a half miles
to the South of town, which it is
claimed occupy elevations higher
than that of Mt. Vernon. If
this be true, our place can secure
a fine waterworks plant of great
value at a remarkably small figure
by shipping" the water over the
intervening knob into a reservoir
located on the school house ILL at
an elevation of Zoo feet above the
court house steeple which would
furnish pressure sufficient to
knock out most any old fire at
any stage of The game. 1t is
suggested that the Commercial
Club, and other interested citizens
get busy and have the levels,
elevation ETC.. taken of these
springs and do little figuring as
to cost of a plant. The saving
in health, physician bills. re-
ductiOn in insurance, would paw
interest several times upon the
initial cost of water works at even
the highest cost fer a plant; but
if it is true that any one of these
springs has higher elevation than
the town, and the water can be

The city boy has no opportunity

The city is mean to him. He

because it IS all covered up with
stones and cement.

real homes in fiats-not like the
homes OF the country, where peo-
pie live in one place for years and
grow up with their relatives and
neighbors around them, and
where the ties of friendship are
strong and satisfying.
If the city boy lets out yell or
plays ball in the streets or swipes
an apple, the police are down on
him in a moment.
The country boy can whoop,

pleases. and occa, ionally he

Generally he is invited to help
himself and come again, if the
neighbor sees him.
In the city everybody is against
the boy. The people upstairs
complain to the JAM or that he

so ne drifts into crowds of bad

not allowed to do the things that
