With United States armies in Mexi-

amid a great popular demonstration,
the members of Company A took the
train for Des Moines. The time of
departure was $3.50 o'clock in the
morning and the company marched
down Main street to the train, be-
tween a crowd that lined the side
walk of the street the entire line OF
the march.
After camping on the state fair
grounds at Des Moines for nearly
month, the Keokuk com pany was mus

on May IL. 1898 in the Ffftieth reg!-
ment Of Iowa Volunteer infantry.
-Four days later the company left
for Florida and went into camp at
Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville.

active service, but never being called
upon for duty at the front. In Florida
Company A was under the command
OF Major General Ntzhugh Lee.

For years it has been the am- bition of the medical profession at large to really discover a formulae for the relief of rheu- matism. Minerals were used with disastrous results. Herbs came back again from the grand nanny days. Hays Specific, " great system tonic was made of herbs principally. People began using it and the result began to show now sufferers from rheu- matism are finding relief every where. L~---"

 New York Papers

In their issue of Oct. 7, 1016 The Electrical World of New City, Americas leading Electrical Magazine, contained an illustrat- ed editorial comment on the pro- gressive and impressive methods of the Brinkley Water & Light Co. in their newspaper advertise ment as printed in the BR1NKLEY ARGUS, in their opening ad- vertisement under the head of, Let's Understand Each Other Better,
 This advertisement was writ ten for the Brinkley Water & Light Co.,, by the ARGUS ad man who merely served the clever local manager, J. E. Strasbaugh, in cooperating his ideas in the ad in a scientific way.
 In justice to MT, Strasbaugh, it is not out of place to say that the first ad was the only one the ARGUS man has had to prepare. for since that time the splendid and impressive ads the company has been carrying are being written altogether by Mir. Stras- baugh, who is gifted in the talent of ad writing. It will be worth the while of every ARGUS read CT to watch his live messages as they appear each week.

 As the autumn days pass by we feel that it is fit and proper that we thank you for the great interest you have shown in the upbuilding of our country. We wish tc tell you how brave it is of you to always uphold the right principles, regardless of effect it may have on your busi- ness.
 Our school is progressing nice- ly under the management of Misses Scott and Harding. We wish to congratulate the directors in their choice of teachers.
 There is no need to tell you that the mercha f Zent are doing fine business this fai} and that the cotton and turning out fine.

cutting on the Fair Haven Farm and MT. Gibbs is well on his his way thru his threshing, having threshed out IT bushels to the acre an some of the Little Prairie Rice Co.'S. land. That Master of rice farmers, Walter Dickson is also threshing out untold bushels of the great food. The Legg 6 Murphy people have been cutting for sometime. Grant Sloane has been threshing this past week. He is young in the business but seems to have done real we'll with his crop.
 Several of the Zent ladies had an invitation to the home of Mrs. H. o. Penrose. who enter tained in honor of her cousin on Tuesday afternoon of this week.
 Mrs. Crockett is preparing to make a visit to her old home in Tennessee and Mir. Crockett, who has made a splendid croI of rice, is threshing.
 While we are having so much to say about rice let me tell you that timber land will raise fine rice. On the Gibbs rice farm saw blue rose, that an exper- fenced rice farmer told me would make a hundred bushels to the acre and that last March it was blackberry thicket. am told that this land cost MT. Gibbs last winter about seven dollars per acre and about ten dollars to clear 1t and that the we'll cost about five hundred dol lars. On one of Judge Greenlee's S farms I am told 81 bushels of rice grew to the acre and that it was covered in timber as late as March. Why shouldn't men who wish to prosper financially buy our land and improve it and grow up with the country? Tho l must say land is going up by laps and bounds since progressive farmers are coming in and "open- ing their eyes" to the great pos- abilities here in our own neigh borhood. Respt.
