on the day after the merchants visit

time was living on one Of the plan

Cueto was plainly curious to learn
why he had been sent for, but since

Rolled
Oats

This is the time of year when Rolled
Oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
Fan. To overcome this condition that
seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at a price that will enable the consumer
TO purchase a bag Of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent 20 the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90
pound bag of Rolled Oats from their
grocer. Rolled oats and Cream of
Maize arc considered the best substi-
tutes TO use with wheat flour. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

Governor McCall's announcement of
his candidacy for the republican nomi-
nation for United States senator from
Massachusetts aroused varying senti-
ments in various quarters. 1t was not
unexpected, for it has long been under
stood that Governor Mccall would re-
new, when he regarded the time as OPP
perfume, the contest for the Office that
he began unsuccessfully five years ago,
when he was defeated in the legislature
by Senator Weeks. The Springfield Re-

ment with serious respect and says some
complimentary things of the candidate,
but discreetly refrains from expressing
preference as between Mccall and
Weeks. The Union of the same city
makes editorially a sarcastic paraphrase
of the announcement, in which Mccall
is made to appear as selfshly ambitious
unreliable and unworthy.
