Window Display
to Be Opened on
Thursday Night

1t has been decided that the window
display contest which is to be held un-
der the auspices of the Chamber of Com
International Correspondence Schools, the
prizes being a scholarship to the winner
in each class, will open Thursday evening
at 7.3o instead Of Wednesday evening at
7.3O as was first announced. The reason
for this is that the merchants do not
wish to keep their stores open Wednes-
day evening but feel that they want the
stores open when the contest starts. The
different trimmers in the various stores
of the city are all planning on how they
will produce the prze-winning window
and will be the ones to have the honor of
winning that scholarship Some of the
merchants have sent away for special
trims for their Wondows and will have
some of the finest things of the kind ever
seen here. Others will depend solely on
what they have in their stores to decor
ate their windows and will undoubtedly
get up some fine things. Owing to the
way the prizes will be awarded, the fell
low unable to get fancy things from away
and who will have to depend on his own
store for ideas will have an equal chance
with the man who has the money and the
time to get the outside stuff. The fact
that only the regular trimmer of the
store is to be allowed to do the work will
make the contest fair one for all and
one that will be certain to bring out the
finest set of windows ever seen in the
city. They will be we'll worth seeing and
should be a feature of the week

Local housewives who have pur-

full looking farmers are now mourning
the loss OF their cash. Several have
been bitten by men who posed as hon.

their faith in the men who till the soil

there is strong suspicion among some
of the people of the city that the men
who have posed as farmers have never
seen farm. The plan is worked some
what in this manner. A fellow with
the makeup including the team of the
typical farmer, comes to the door and
says that he has some strictly fresh
eggs which he Is willing to sell at the
same price as he would be able to get
at the grocery store, and as this Is
usually about five cents a dozen under
the regular retail price, it is an easy
matter for him to make a sale Of any.

LUMBERMEN

These big, brawny men of the
woods know the worth of strong
arm, a steady hand and a true eye.
They have keen appetites, and so
long as they can eat we'll and sleep
well, they can do a mans work.
But all lumbermen know that a bad
stomach or sick headache can put
the strongest of them out of business.
Men in the woods cannot be fussy
about their food, and too much of the
same kind, day after day, is apt to
bring on stomach attack, cause bill
iousness or a splitting headache.
