Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when a
young gentlement came to this office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: Now ] know!
"What is 1t you are looking for" we
inquired. my wife sent me after a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy, and / forgot the name I went
to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line on
the shelf except 'Chamberlains.' I'll
try again. and I'll never go home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy." The Republican would suggest
TO the proprietors Of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in
stores where substituting is permit
ted, to say nothing Of the injustice to
makers Of good goods and the dis
appointment Of customers.

EXPECT TO DISBAND GUARDS
State Guards Have Served Their
Purpose Now.

Captain Green and Captain Parks
of companies A and B of the state
guard appeared before the county
commissioners this afternoon to dis
cuss the question of disbanding the
two companies. The adjutant gener-
al I'm a letter to the commanders said
that practically all the guards in the
state were being disbanded and said
that there was no longer any appar-
ent need Of their continuing in ser
vice. The question which came np
before the commissioners was in re-
gard to the disposal of the uniforms
and the money in the funds of the
companies. The county has eXpend-
ed over $1,000 for uniforms for the
six companies in the county and the
commissioners may ask that the
money now in the company funds be
turned over to the county, as the
uniforms are of no use to any but
the men to whom they were issued.
If the money is left to the disposal
Of the state guards they expect to
put on a play and add the proceeds
to the money they already have and
with the help Of other organizations
here, build a suitable memorial to
the soldiers from Abilene who served
in the war.
As soon as the commissioners de-
eide what shall be done a meeting
Of the companies win be called and
they will disband.

''FLU" GONE, NOW COMES SPANISH
 SPINDLE GAME

Madrid, Dec 22.-The Spanish SwindIe" has shown its head again. America has been inundated with let ters from "a dying prisoner, persecut- ed by political enemies, only able to communicate with the outside world through the kindness of a prison chaplain" The writer of the letter claims relationship with the person addressed and explains that a valise containing vaIuables has been con cealed outside of Spain, the contents to be left to an only daughter and the American relative.
 Should the American reply. he later receives a letter from ''the chap lain" stating that the prisoner is dead and that a certain sum is required to release the prisoners baggage, in cluding the mysterious valise- Fortu- nately when the correspondence reaches this point the American relative'' usually becomes curious and as a result the embassy in Madrid and the consulates throughout Spain have a flood of correspondence on the subject.
 In other cases the victim takes the bait without question and parts with his money, or even worse still goes to the expense of travelling to Spain to pay the required sum to release the valise and claim his share of the contents.
 In the latter case the swindIer Is generally brought to book for the Spanish police are on the lookout and the presence of q stranger look ing for lost relatives arouses their suspicious.
 tixr n arir iT1 Madrid with a certified check to claim his share of prisoners estate. The Spanish police put him in prison until he could be convinced that he had been the victim of a clever swindIer. It took all the eloquence Of an American consul to do this and induce the man to return home.

Anderson in discussing the matter with the Times reporter yes terday stated that he had enjoyed the work and regretted very much to get through but owing to having so much difficulty in getting hIs compensation for work done he had decided to quit the job.

WILL ASK FOR LARGE SUM TO
 AID PALESTINE

Ten million dollars is the minimum which the Zionist Organization of America will endeayor to raise in this an appeal to Jews aAd non-Jews alike, for the purchase of large tracts of land in Palestine and the prepara- tion of the country in every way for the masses of Jews who, according to authoritative reports, are eager to migrate thither from Russia, Poland, GaIicia, Roumania and other pogrom- ridden countries to Eastern Europe.
 The mass desire on the part of the Jews to escape to Palestine from lands of persecution everywhere, be fore that country is prepared to re- ceive them, is so intense as to make the task of restraining the impend- ing immigration a most difficult prob lem for the Zionist Organization.
