Mark turned the leaves nervelessly,

have been an error. But the paper
was not there.
He looked up to see the Brigadier
peering into his face with an extraor-

"Well?" asked Mark crisply.
Hartley grinned. 81 didn't take the

he said.

"Why, II wanted to tell you as

The man seemed to be trying to spin
out the interview for some indefinite
purpose. Mark turned on his heel.
His temper was not of the best just

in the world whom he wanted to see.

Milks Question Is
Still Unsatisfactory

The milk question. ever since it
started an upward climb some
months ago from seven cents a
quart until the present time when
it has acquired the price of an even
dozen cents per quart, is still hover
ing in the background of the aver
age housekeeper's mind.
But like everything else, we must
of necessity use. it appears that we
will have to pay the fiddler; so while
doing that, why not get the most
for your money?
c. NJ. Nissley conducts a modern
creamery where milk and cream,
handled exclusively by modern
scientific methods; is served to the
customer at full value. While paying
the high price for products use good
care in selecting the merchant who
will give full value.

Make Hens Lay

A big speciality seller is the chick
en- meat mash sold by o. S. Ebersole,
the Pembroke flour. feed and grain
man. This meat mash is a special
preparation, put up by Mr.. Ebersole,
and especially during this time of
year. when cold weather has its u.s.
ual effects in causing a dropping off

the chickens. 1t not only helps in
the production of more eggs, but
makes healthier, better chickens.
Mr.. Ebersole also does q large
business in flour. grain and corn.

business integrity used in conducting
one of the largest flour and feed
