SO many grape juice factories estab-
llShed iE our midst since the United
States mas forbidden the manufacture
OF liquors after September 8. But
they would also like to see the
Bryan kind Of grape juice factory
started in Nauvoo.
An alleged chicken thief. Chas.
Frakes by name, was caught selling
poultry to a Nauyoo dealer which
were supposed to be i'll gotten goods,
and was arrested last Friday morn
ing in this city. He was placed in
the Nauvoo Jail for safe keeping
until the sheriff came after him. but
at noon he showed the cell door
against Special Officer Lou Hudson
who was attending to his wants at
meal time, and knocked him down,
effecting his escape. Frakes had six
teen chickens in his buggy and a
small boy with him, and the latter
confessed that they were stolen prop
erty, and were obtained in the Appa-
moose township district near Nauyoo.
The man has not been recaptured.
The Nauvoo boys drafted and ac-
cepted have received notice that they
were subject to military service and
to hold themselves in readiness for
a final call within twenty-four hours
notice.
Nauvoo's poundmaster caught a
horse running at large last week and
forthwith took the animal to the
lookup. After feeding it couple OF
days and not finding claimant, he
turned the animal loose, after which
the owner appeared. The animal
got into a corn field. was elected and
taken up by citizen. The owner
paid the last named one dollar for
it's keep and the poundmaster went
empty handed.
Nauvoo will be a busy place this
week on account Of harvesting the
early grape crop and the canning
factory putting up the sweet corn
crop. 1t is already lively business
town and these two industries will
make it much more lively.

ury McAdoo is prparing a plan for
the next issue of bonds to be adver-
tised and paid for as would any other
business seeking newspaper publicity.
When the government needs anything,
from a monster battieshfp to a paper
of pins 1t has to buy it. the same as
an individual does. When a business
mar wants newspaper space he buys
1t. Purely a matter of business sense
and system.
OF course the newspaper gives pub
licity to many things in its news
columns, for its town. county. state
or nation, but its advertising columns
must help pay its employees, and buy
its material. II there is any other
way to make a newspaper pay it's way
it has not yet been discovered by men
who have spent their lives at the
business.

A NARROW ESCAPE

"The editor sat at his inlaid desk
smoking his pipe at peace" when in
walked a big, rough looking individual
with a bad eye:
Say, Mr.. Editor, I'm the fellow that
you touched up in your paper"
AS he paused a moment, the editor
caught his breath and braced up
enough to say: well, shoot away"
ooh, no. | didn't come in to shoot
you for what you said. / want to give
you a good cigar for what you didn't
say. l was goin' to lick you, but 1
told an old friend about II, and he
said: MY son, forget 1t. The editor
could publish columns about you
and don't"
The editor smoked his cigar, and
wondered why such precious know
ledge is not more general.
