SmdllWOOu q Duh Ncet SdCdlOS IllCcS.
Messrs. Burbridge & Matheson, rep
resenting the Rust-Parker Co., whole
sale grocers of Duluth, Mimi, were in
the city the greater part of last week
engaged in demonstrating their pro
ducts at the store of j. G. Smallwood
& Son. The Rust Parker Co. have a
unique method Of handling their trade.
Employing no statesmen, their custom
ers are furnished at frequent intervals
with lists giving the quotations on
groceries and other products handled,
thus eliminating considerable of the
overhead expense connected with the
wholesale cost of merchandising, Civ
| ing their customers the benefit of the
saving, and enabling the merchant to
sell at cheaper prices than would 9TH
erwise be possible under the methods
so long in vogue among the wholesale
trade. ]. C.Smallwood & Son will
soon inaugurate campaign among
the farmers of this section of the state
in order to secure their orders for
goods for fall delivery, their present
system making it possible for them to
give their customers the benefit of
wholesale prices on groceries.
J.. C. Smallwood has been in the
grocery trade for the past 35 years
and is thoroly conversant with every
detail of the business. For the past
twelve years he has been engaged in
business in this city, being the first
among our grocers to deliver orders
among his customers. James F. has
been actively employed in his fathers
store ever since he has been large
enough to look over the counter top.
For several years past he has been in
partnership with his father under the
firm name of ]. C. Smallwood & Son,
master Grocers." Both are hustlers
and their store is one of the busiest
emporiums in the city.

The possibilities of that park as an at
traction in these days when the auto
mobile has eliminated distance, the
Council realized and promptly arrang-
ed with Mr.. Ira Gard, an experienced
entertainer, to provide amusement,
both elevating and interesting. The
Velva Band will give regular concerts
but the feature that is to make our
neighbors widely known is the pro-
duction Of Paramount pictures at the
pavilion, which is capable of seating
a thousand. On June 9TH The Call Of
the North, is to be shown, and the
fame Of this picture will attract all
Logan, anyway.

How the GaroIs Was Taken.

The Rev. j. A. Shamrock, in South
Indian Missions" relates the following
incident illustrating the difficulties Of
medical missionaries: An old woman
came with relaxed throat to Mrs
Caldwell wife Of Bishop CaldwelD,
who gave her garge in a bottle and
told her to go home, throw her head
well back, put 1t in her mouth and
keep 1t there as long as possible.
After day or two the old woman
returned, complaining that she was no
better and that her neck ached ter
ribly. When asked If she had strictly
carried out the instructions, she said,
"Yes; threw my head well back and
put the bottle into my mouth and held
1t there till my neck was almost ready

J0LTED THE AUTHOR.
Story Of a Tour Made by Irwin Cobb
and His Friend Van Loan.

Shortly after the publication of Irwin
Cobb's Back Home" Mr.. Cobb visited
the Pacific coast and spent Il few days
in Los Angeles with his author friend,
Charles Il. Van Loan.
The Angel City newspaper men were
very kind to Cobb, interviewing him
copiously, and Van Loan suggested
that it would be graceful thing to re-
pay their courtesies with autographed
copies of the new book.
"Fine" said Cobb. Lets 80 buy
'em now"
With Van Loan he visited six book
stores in rapid succession, and the fol-
lowing is sample Of the conversation
which took place In each one:
Cobb-Have you Back Homer"
Clerk-What is tia book or a maya.
zine?
Cobb-It's book.
Clerk-Ah-er-do you recall the
name Of the author?
Cobb (surprised) - A man named
Cobb wrote it-C-o-double-b Cobb!
Clerk OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or Ty?
Cobb (exploding-No, no, no! Irwin
s. Cobb.
Clerk (disappointed)-Oh, some other
Cobb, eh? l don't think we have it.
There hasn't been any call for it.
Probably not popular work, sir.
And so on, with variations. Nobody
had copy of the book, apparently no.
body had ever heard Of 1t. In the sixth
store Cobb's patience left him, and he
leaned over the counter with glare in
his eye. He had just been asked If he
was not mistaken in the name Of the
book or the author or something.
"Listen to me, stranger!' said the ex
asperated Kentuckian. "The name is
Back Home and there is such book
honest Injun. l know it because
wrote it myself. It's right nice little
book, I'm told, and if you can't afford
to buy any copies Of it I'll send you
| one with my compliments! Good day.
Cobb spent the rest of the afternoon
abusing the boneheaded booksellers OF
Los Angeles. The OILY thing that he
| didn't know was Tat Van Loan ha(
| gone over the route earlier in the day
| and rehearsed the clerks, preparing
them for Cobb's visit and having then

Wholesale Banning Of eanns.

Dean Pigou was once due to preach
at st. Clement Danes. Just before the
service an excited old lady pounced
into the vestry to forbid the banns OF
her sons marriage because he had
neither money nor brains" Being
told that the church did not recognize
either objection, she sat beneath the
reading desk until the curate began,
II publish the banns." Then she
sprang up, waved an umbrella and
shouted, II forbid them all!' much to
