The VALUE OF truth

Truthin businessis just important
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence. establishes goodwill and
builds a reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untamished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity of Scott's Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,
because in these days of adulterations
it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil
incidentally perfected with glycerine and
hypophosphites to build strength, im-
prove the blood and strengthen the lungs.
ltis free from alcohol or opiates--a whole
come food-touic, truthfully advertised.

Eddie Carr and his company of fun
makers. Carr is ably assisted by Wal

the inability TO get the right sort OF
beh at times when it is most needed.
What actually happens is that when
"The Boss" is advertising for an office
bov he gets a professional comedian in
stead. and before he knows it he also IS
comedian. as well as the fair stenog-
rapher. They have a great time in the
office. with the liveliest kind of fun,
"The Boss" naturally is the butt of sun
drv tricks. and the fact that he has a
bald head does not make him immune
Naturally the stenographer plays an i'm

MAHAskA BOY MAKES GOOD.

Burlington HawKeye: John Movies,
who had been in business in OskaloO-
sa a number of years, decided to try
farming year ago No doubt, some of
the neighbors smiled when Movies,
who had never handled a plow. began
to get busy on farm six miles south
east of Knoxville. They are smiling
no longer, but they are patting the
man on the back and are sure that he
is born farmer and has been wasting
much valuable time in town. Last year
was one of the poorest corn years
that Iowa has experienced in a long
time. Yet this man who knew practi-
cally nothing of farming. grew the
best corn to be found anywhere in
that section of the country. He did
not realize that it was very valuable
and used much of it for feed, but he
awoke to the fact that he had some.
thing worth while, when he had about
600 bushels left, which found eagre
buyers at $500 per bushel. And now
the neighbors are wondering what that
new farmer will do after he gets thor
oughly familiar with his new calling.
