ing trade, The supply was most too small
to interest all the dressed beef men, but
they bought up what cattle were offered
fairly readily at prices that were steady
to strong az compared with yesterday
and around 1Odf5c higher than week
ago. The cows and helfers offered also
sold to better advantage than yesterday,
and the same was true as to stock cattle
and feeding steers Trade was rather
narrow. however, and while prices looked
strong on the cattle sold, the volume OF
business was necessarily limited.

TO AUTOMOBILE SPEEDERs.
The Marshal Will Catch You if You
Don't Watch Out.

Some time ago the city of Decor
ah passed an ordinance allowing the
automobile drivers to drive fifteen
miles an hour in the city. Seeming
ly that many miles an hour is too
slow for many drivers, who have
been hitting 1T up twenty TO twenty
five. The marshal has informed us
that all violators of the speed laws
in the city will be arrested and
dealt with according to law in the
future. Fifteen miles is the limit and
those driving faster will be in dan
ger of arrest. This is simply a
warning to drivers as the officials in
tend to enforce the law to the letter
in the future.
Another bad feature Of many driv-
ers is the stopping of their cars and
leaving them at street intersections,
directly opposite the automobile
right and left signs. 1t gives very
little room for cars to make the turn
around the signs and get by the auto
standing next to the curbing. 1t is
just a matter of thoughtlessness on
the part of drivers, and they should
remember in the future to stop at
some other place along the street,
than at the street intersection.

Every One to His Taste.

A Chicago editor says he would
like TO hear a preacher pray in con-
versational tones, as if the Lord
were present in the room and not a
long way off. Yes, and then some
son Of a sea cook would complain be-
cause the preacher was not in earn
est. People are hard to please. The
Methodists used to be too demon
stnative, the Presbyterians too for
NAL and cold. Yet the Methodists
and Presbyterians kept right on at
tracing the people who liked their
style. Most of the preachers these
days are dignified in the pulpit and
they reach only the people who like
that style. When Billy Sunday comes
to town and makes a great hullabal-
boo, the quiet people criticize his
words and methods, but the demon
strative people hit the trail at the
rate of thousand day.
You will find a lot of people who
drive an automobile as quietly as
possible, and who run at cOnserva-
tive rate. Then you run across fell
low who opens his muffler and hikes
down the road 40 miles an hour.
Tastes differ.

Latest in Vacuum
Cleaners,


The tidy housekeeper can hardly
realize that in spite of all her care
the rugs, carpets, draperies and fur
niture which she has so carefully
busted and swept, still contain more
or less dirt and germ laden dust.
This is not the fault of the house
keeper, but it is the fault of the meth =
cd of cleaning. Old fashion meth
DDS are no longer adequate for the
efficient house wife who knows the
results and the time that can be saw
ed by using the up-to-date vacuum
cleaner, so on Thursday, Oct. 10,
Pauline & Bradrick of The Service
Co. will put on a big demonstration
of the latest thing in vacuum clean
ers.
sanitary and thorough method for re-
moving every atom of dust, dirt ana
germs. 1t is economical, simple ana
easy to operate. 1t is very convent
ent and stands ready for instant SER
vice, just like turning on an electric
light
Vacuum cleaners can be perman-
emily installed in a building, as this
feature of the house ought to be just
as much a part of the household
equipment as radiator heating or
plumbing. With the vacuum cleaner
tools you can clean carpets, rugs,
Idraperies, furs, clothing, upholstery,
books, furniture, mouldings, etc. by
simple light strokes. All waste,
dust, dirt, grit, sand, moths, insects
and larvae are instantly drawn out OF
cracks, crevices, fabrics and hiding
places and carried by the strong sue
tion to the sealed dust bucket of the
machine in the basement.
The house is quickly cleaned in
one-tenth the time it formerly took
to go over it with broom and buster.
The work is not only done better, but
really at saving over the old meth
DDS, because the rugs, furnishings,
draperies, etc. last much longer and
do not suffer injury by cleaning the
vacuum way.
Ii you live in the country the dust
and dirt you have to deal with is less
foul than in the city, but it is dirt,
mr. ortb al of
the better class are quite large, have
a number of rooms, porches and halls
to clean. Usually servants are hard
to keep in the country and suburbs,
and the housekeeper finds it a diff
cult matter to maintain her home in
as clean and sanitary manner as
she desires with only brushes and
brooms at her command, but with
