LEONARD OR WHITE ENAMEL
Refrigerators are truly masterpieces
from every viewpoint. Their scien-
tific construction not only solves the
problem of saving food, but gets the
most from the least amount. of ice.
From an artistic viewpoint they, are
without comparison, solidly built
from the finest materials, kiln dried
and fashioned as handsome piece of
furniture There are other lines of
Refrigerators we handle that are less
expensive and which, considering price
and quality will give excellent service.
However, we recommend the Leonard

examination at the Miller school Fri
day and Saturday of last week. Three

MAKE SAFE INVESTMENTS.

HE grand jury Of History has returned true bill
again: the United States fot Waste, and the charge
has been proven time after time, both in our national and
individual life. From fifty to sixty per cent Of all fruits
and vegetables raised in America today is wasted by ne
cheney in preservation for market Soil erosion costs the
country over $500, 100000 Over half billion dollars
damage done annually crops, fruit trees, grain in sto
age and live stock by noxous insects rodents flies hicks and
other pests which might have been prevented.
But there has been no more dangerous and widespread
waste than the waste of capital insecure and fraudulent
speculative investments Thousands Of Americans toll and
save and deny themselves only TO be swndled out of their
hard earned money to get nch quick promoters who sell
worthless mining Stocks worthless irrigation bonds, bogus
manufacturing stocks and in other projects the promoters
of which take the widows mite as eagerly and readily as
they take the income of the professional man or the farmer
The reputable newspapers Of the country have received
thousands Of letters of inquiry from their readers concerning
such investments They range from oil to aeroPanc and
give evidence that the fake promoter is working with n-
pecedented success These promoters have not been con-
tent with old time methods Long ago, the American farm
er learned to protect himself against the gold brick and the
contract for set Of Books that turned out 70 pomsoy

Whether the industrial conference which will open in

the conerees carry with them when they enter it. Ten

that the experiment for that is what it amounts to,
would be of any Importance but today there will be less
disposition on the part of any to try to carry IN
