1t is strange as well as graft
flying to note how the public
notices and seems to appreciate
an effort on the part of a mer-
chant to keep things up in neat
condition and to be able TO sup
ply them with what they want
when they want it. This has
been brought to our minds very
forciably several times in the
last week, by people remarking
what a change we were making
in the appearance and manage
ment of our hardware depart
ment. Well we are not Jealous
of the new manager of this de-
partment and we 10 appreciate
these compliments as we know
he does and we arevery conf
dent that we are not going to
have to surrender the belt.
We want to mention especial
ly in this lire our granite ware
and tinware as we have been
stocking up on this line pretty
heavily, having Just received a
large shipment of the Lisk

this is the first we have been
able to get of them since the

Daily Guard. Mr.. Edmonds re-
turned last week from a visit to his
old home county of Chautauqua,
New York.
Fourteen years ago." said Mr..
Edmonds. I'VE thought Chautau-
qua county, New York, was quito a
dairy country. At that time we
had perhaps 10000 milk cows. But
today the county has fifteen con-
densaries and uses the product of
10000 milk cows. More than this,
the cows are purebred Holsteins
and their product is an immenro to-
tai. One old friend of mine showed
me $3.50 cream check for August
last. He milko 27 cows. Another
farmer showed me a $500 cream
and milk check for August. He
m'lks 40 cows. These milk produc-
Ing plants are real industries.
They have good barns, milking ma
chimes, up-to-date equipment and
dairying Is their business in life. one
OF the best paying in any agricultur-
