kOLLlMER,S.

When one goes into clothing store
they want the widest possible stock
OF goods from which to make their
selections and while clothes Of the
latest pattern and best quality are
wanted, the price also is an impor-
tant consideration, and here the mer-
chant, in a small town has the ad-
vantage of the large city merchant
in that he does not have nearly the
overhead expense to meet in the way
of rents and other costs. 1t is natural
then that he will sell the same gar
ment or article at much lower price.
This has been proved true at Kolli-
mer's, 119 South Main Street. J. r.
Kollimer is president of the concern
and S. A. Kollimer acts as secretary.
They deal in general line of cloth
ing, shoes, furnishings, trunks, travel
ing bags and other like articles, which
makes their store an attractive place
to go in quest of Christmas gifts.

NORTHERN STATES POWER CO.

Most Of us nave a memory or the
old kerosene lamp in the home, but
beyond a memory the lamp no longer
exists. In it's place has come cleo
tricitE and gas, not only for lighting
purposes, but for cooking, heating and
power. The result of this innovation
in the management of home affairs has
been the organization Of several large
concerns making a business of sup
plying gas and electricity to homes at
prices far below what the old kero-
sene lamp cost and with an elinina-
ton of the danger incident to that
method of lighting. One of the larg-
est of these companies is the Northern
States Power Company at 234 South
Main Street of which Mr.. B. O. Lund
is the Saltwater manager. In addi-
ton to furnishing electricity and gas,
the company is engaged in the bust
ness of selling electric and gas heat
ing devices and ranges. To those
with money to invest this Company
is offering preferred stock bearing 10
interest. This affords conservative
land safe investment with an income
feature above the average.

SALTWATER BOOK & STATION
cry co

Know your own City, would be a
mighty good slogan for the people
generally to adopt, and then make it
a practice to make regular periodical
visits to the various sections. In such
systematic study. of Saltwater it
will be found that the Saltwater Book
& Stationery Co., 212 East Chestnut
Street, is catering to larger number
of the needs of the public than almost
any other concern within its limits.
This is primarily a book store, and
the immense and varied stock of
books, stationery and supplies and
school supplies entities it to the claim
of being the largest book store in the
city. 1t carries an equally complete
line of kodaks and supplies, Columbia
talking machines and records, filing
devices, and office desks. The pro-
prietors of this company are Messrs.
Carl e. Nelson and e. B. Peterson,
and the success of this enterprise is
a tribute to the keen business in sight
and general executive ability of these
gentlemen.

FRED KUNZELMAN.

1t was not SO very long ago that
the stove burning coal or wood was
found in every home parlor of win
ter cline. But the stove is gradu-
ally giving place to the furnace, which
have many superior advantages, not
only in the heating feature, but also
in the saving of fuel. Nowadays the
only problem confronting the home
keeper is the sort of furnace he
should get. The easiest way to solve
this problem is to visit Mr.. Sired
Kunzelman at 125 South Main Street,
who handles the Lennox moist air
furnace, and does a. general tin, sheet
iron and furnace repair work.

DESCENDANTS OF AFRICAN
CHRISTIANS DWELL IN
INDIA.

The Sidis are an interesting people
of an African race, who have settled
in Portuguese India, and who now
form the flock of the missionaries OF
Alnaver. Father S. Gotta writes a
few words, concerning them:
'As the seed of our holy religion has
been in the blood of the Sidis, their
forefathers being converted by Portu
guese missionaries three hundred
years ago, my work among them has
been rather successful
''At first the difficulty was to make
them approach me, but now they are
very familiar and understand the good
they can derive from the priest. So a
good number are now under instruc.
ton, but my great desire is to build
a small school for the children. AT
present I teach them in my house
that is, the one room where I sit, eat
and sleep. With about one hundred
American dollars | would be able to
build a small school-room for them.
II do not know if ever this letter
will reach it's destination, but since
write it on the Feast Day of the
Sacred Heart, I recommend it to Him
and also my ardent desire of having
school-room for my poor little chill
dren. 1t is through them I get the
bigger people. 8 Of course we instruct
and baptize the grown-up Sidis, but
our hope is the little ones"

NOTHING CAN STOP THE MARCH

After making a journey along the
length of the Congo River, and noting
the almost unbroken chain of missions
extending across Central Africa, FIR.
J. Remy, c.. S. Sp., had this to say
regarding the outlook of Africa from

SCHNEIDER BROS.

The man who does the business to-
day is the man who takes his cue from
the demands of the times for high
standards in every class of business,
especially in cleanliness, attractive
ness and service rendered. These
characteristics are perhaps, more no.
ticeable in the groceries than in other
stores and Saltwater is not behind
other cities in this respect as among
her most successful grocery firms is
the SCHNEIDER Bros, located at 1872
South Main Street. The attractive
and sanitary condition is apparent in
all departments, and the quality of
goods handled has been tested and
proven by a large list Of patrons.

The neighborhood grocery store is
often the best place at which to buy
supplies for the family table. For one
thing it is usually not far away and
again the neighborhood grocer soon
gets to know just what the folks in a
certain family like. In the vicinity of
the grocery store at 826 South Fourth
Street, the careful and economical
housekeepers do their trading with
Mr.. J. Alfred Kearney because they
like him, they like his store, his stock

MISSION REPORT.

The annual report of the Paris For.

come to hand. and gives some in
teresting figures. For instance, the
Society has 1921 ,625 Christians in its
various centers. The priests for this
great number of converts are now
only 1,25S; they are assisted by 6,537
nuns and by 1O0S. native priests.
Thus we see that the native apostles
now almost equal the European mis-
sionaries. and no doubt they are prov.
ing the salvation of the. almost de-
nuded missions. 81

ITO keep some 500 children in books

ITO keep the mission soing, where
