Presbyterian Church

The annual meeting of the Pres
byterians was a splendid success.
Almost the entire membership and
patronage of the church assisted
and were present at the Barnum
Theatre Tuesday evening. If any
were absent it was on account of
sickness or the condition of the
roads. The rainy, cold evening
seemed to increase rather than
lessen the attendance.
The dinner was everything that
even a hungry boy could wish.
And the music by the orchestra was
greatly appreciated by all. The
reports of the various organizations
were all that an optimist could
wish. Mr.. Peterson fairly outdid
himself in his report for the Session.
He is a good booster for his church
and pastor.
Today Long is the proudest man
of them all with his splendid and

1t is an unusual thing for a drug
gist to sell medicine under a guaran-
tee to refund the money if it does not
cure. Yet this is the way R. Hodgins
the popular druggist, is selling Mi
ona, the standard dyspepsia remedy
Never before has he had so large
number of customers tell him that
medicine has been successful as with
Mona. People who few months
ago looked like walking skeletons have
put on flesh and today are ruddy and
vigorous with perfect digestion and
good health.
There is no longer any need for any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer on account of dyspepsia. Mi
o-na can always be relied upon. The
percentage of cures is so great that
there is little risk to R. Hodgins in
guaranteeing to return the money if
the medicine does not relieve. And
he stands ready to do SO without any
questions.
Headaches, all forms of Indigestion
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings
and all forms of liver trouble are
helped by Mona A few days treat
ment should show considerable gain
in health while complete. cure often
follows rapidly. 1919

To Drill 300 Oil Wells

| you need pay.
, The Uncle Sam Oil Company has
Three Refineries. Over one hundred
twenty producing wells. One hundred
sixtyfive miles of pipep line connect
ing the larger percentage of our prop
critics with two refneries in two states.
The Company has about ten thousand
acres of oil and gas leases and fif-
teen hundred acres of decided lands in
the real oil and gas belt, and the least
800 locations where good judgment de-
mands that wells be drilled.
The Company is now drilling six
deep wells that can easily secure pro-
duction that should increase our COM
bined properties several million dol
lars.
To make big profits you must invest
with a concern developing on big
basis Four of our deep wells are in
the east extension of the rich Gushing
oil fields. At the hours this notice was
written one Of these wells was devel-
oping a rich new producer in the
Wheeler sand at 24S9 feet. Three of
these wells vii be drilled 1900 feet I'M
less big producers are developed at
less depth. At this hour they are 1900
and 2610 and 2840 feet deep at these
three locations.
Some big producers are practically
sure within the next six to ten days
but subject to withdrawal without no
tice the Company will accept remit
tances at the present prices until Feb

The better grades in cotton voiles
marquisettes, organdie and other sheer
stuffs have proved themselves surpris-
1ngly durable and are like crepe de
chine and crepe georgette in this re-
spect. They look as fragile as flower
petals but wear as stanchly as
Scotch madras or any other Of the de-
pendable weaves that are relied upon
for the practical everyday blouse.
They are all in the running now that
the time is here for making up blouses
for the oncoming season.
With the trend of the public's taste
constantly turned toward thin and
sheer fabrics for all purposes, and the
demand for things washable, cotton
wolfe is likely to stand near the head
of the list as a material wanted for
spring blouses. 1t is shown in many
patterns employing color, in figures or
stripes, on a white ground. These are
either woven or printed in, with in
creasing demand developing for the
wOven-in designs.
