In conclusion I want to say to the
farmers of this community, you
are entitled to just as much credit
for the success Of the Kenmare

we could not have succeeded as we
have done in making the Kenmare
Cash Store the leading store of this
community, and sincerely hope we
shall always continue to enjoy your
confidence, and We feel your. sue
cess and prosperity is to our mutual
benefit a....

But Ralph A. Lawliss Is Pretty Well
Used to It.

| Mr.. and Mrs Erwin Lawliss have thii

with the American Expeditionary forces
Excerpts are as follows:
Somewhere in France, Dec. 8. 1917.

| from me up to that date, but / imagine

An audience that filled the church fair
ly well greeted Rev. G. w, Keeling at
the Methodist church last Wednesday
evening. to hear his lecture "The Adj

scription of the course OF events which

his journey from Liverpool TO Montreal,
Canada. and later across the line to Yer

very lldierous and the lecture was much

1t has been suggested that the rail |

not be arranged to cancel the train that |
now arrives here at 7:45 p. nj. and sub |
stitute for it one leaving Barre about |
80 and return to that city in time to
make the usual run to Montpelier and |
the junction at 4:45. At first thought /
il would seem that such a train would
much better accommodate the public
than one scheduled as at present.
West Liberty, Iowa, where Don +.
Bemis has been at work for some time
past, would seem to be very faborably
coated, being a junction point on rail-
way lines and also on the line of the Lin

han here, and there is but little snow.
The land is rolling and the pastures are
'ften included in the plan of crop rota-
ion. Wood is not plenty except by the

oal is used for fuel. The soil is called
Jumbo and is black and rich, but very
ticky in wet weather. Crops are good
nd the people prosper.
