VIII Await the Big Battle.
The ultimate fate of Senator Hold
oegel's bill in the house will undoubt-
eddy depend on the big road fight
which is to be staged there within a
week or two. This fight will come on
the bill presented by the anti-com-
mission faction Of the house, headed
by Speaker Pitt. Its preparation con-
sumed the working hours of its friends
for many days, and it can be said that
the measure is not so radical nor so
reactionary as it's opponents have been
claiming it would be. The most radi-
cal departure from the present law is
found in it's displacement of the pres
ent highway commissioner, who Is to
be an engineer. 1t will do away with
district engineers but retain county
engineers appointed after approval by
the commissioner, and paid for by the
counties The friends Of the new
measure are claiming more than 81
votes in the house. The vote neces-
sary to pass the measure is IS.

Fine $lOO And Costs

In the circuit court at Linneus
Tuesday the case of state VS.. VIM.
Ausmus, charged with felonious
assault, was tried before a jury
and resulted in conviction and a
fine of 800. 90 and costs. This is
the elimination of the shooting
of A. G. Groes by Ausmus at the
Groes home in this city year ago
last June over a family affair.
A large number of witnesses were
summoned, most of them charac-
ter witnesses, but only a few of
them were placed on the stand.
The trial consumed the greater
part of the day and was the most
important case on the present
docket.
For the good of the families,
the good of the community, it is
hoped this is the last chapter in
the unfortunate affair.

Subscription Expirations

Several hundred subscriptions

next issue, which will he the last
issue for this year. The paper dis
continues at expiration unless paid
for or arrangements made as to
when it will be paid. We hope our
friends will renew promptly so it
will not be necessary to send ont
special notice of expiration. The
recent increase in postage makes
every notice mailed cost two cents.
True, that isn't much on one no.
tice but when several hundred are
sent it amounts to sum that should
be saved to the publisher, especial
ly when the paper is being furnish
ed to the subscriber at one dollar
per year, during these times of
high cost of all materials used in a
printing Office. 1-18 printed on
the address label means your paper
expires with the last issue of the

S. M. Strain on New York Market

Last fall when the knowledge
came to S. NJ. Strain, the Hall
mark Jeweler at Brookfeld, this
progressive jeweler went to New
York, the worlds greatest jewelry
market and bought his lines for
the holiday trade. The editor was
in this big store a few days ago
and it surely shows the goods.
The prices at the Strain store have
always sbeen lower than those in
other stores, and that is now more
than ever so, for Mr.. Strain bought
stock in the United Jewellers, who
manufacture and sell their own
goods. They save you fully one
third on the lines they handle, and
it is matter of fact that ordinary
stores-those that are not Hall
mark stores-throw up their hands
when you tell them you have been
talking with the Hallmark Jeweler.
The wholesale profits are elimi-
mated, and that saves you one third
of the profit that would be paid to
a jeweIer who is not a Hallmark
jeweler.
Whv pay two profits on jewelry,
watches, diamonds, silver, cut
glass, etc., when at Brookfield you
have a Hallmark store where the
one profit plan is the basis of busi-
ness?
Miss Pearl Sternke, Miss Her
tha Cornish, Mrs. Wayne Murphy, |
Mr.. Frank LePage, Mr.. William
Smith and Mr.. Strain have ALI
studied the styles for the coming |
season from the fashion papers in
jewelry, and they can advise you
as to what the young ladies, the
elder ladies, the young men or the |
older men will require in this line
to be up to date.
1t will do your heart and purse
good to visit this store where lines,
ow prices, good treatment, honest
are yours.
