What a Town Needs.

After all, there is just two things
that go toward making up good
live town-one Is persistent, thoro
and attractive advertising and the
other Is backing up the advertising
with performance. There is no use
of advertising if you haven't the
goods, and there is no use having
the goods if you don't advertise
them. No town was ever benefited
by the man who sits down and waits
for the more enterprising and public
spirited persons to bring trade to
him, and neither is the man who
fails to deliver the goods when call
ed upon. The first is leach, and the
second an oyster, and both make a
COW pasture out of a town.-Waverly

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
HOTEL KNICKERBOCKER.

New York, Aug. 2,1919.
In all my business experience dur
ing the past AZ years, coming to
New York twice each year, I have
never seen conditions as they are at
this time. Manufacturers and whole
sale merchants in all lines Of mer-
chandise are practically sold up"
and have but little if any goods to
offer. This condition has been
brought about, mainly, because we
nave had a world war, and also the
unrest of labor. And further, Europe
has hundreds of men in this country
buying whatever they can get hold
Of. Again, there have been strikes in
many manufacturing plants the past
six months, and these strikes still
continue, even though wages in
many plants have been greatly adj
vanced.
1t has been my privilege to meet
many representatives from various
countries over there, all coming to
America for the purpose of procuring
foodstuffs and wearing apparel of
every kind. These buyers are not par
ticular-they buy anything they can
get and pay big prices. The fact is,
they must have the stuff, and just as
long as this condition continues,
goods will be very scarce.
Every business concern is busy
not only the manufacturer, but the
retail stores have larger volume o.
business than ever before. 1t is i'm
possible to imagine the hundreds and
thousands of people that are at pres
ent visiting the city. 1t is estimated
that there are from 100000 to 3OO,-
600 strangers in the city every day
have always said it, and still say so,
that New York is the greatest city in
the world, and America the most
wonderful country on earth.
This is not letter, simply bust
ness talk, so it is my privilege to
give you little idea of what 1 have
been doing. The fact is, my fall and
winter purchases have formerly been
made many months ago, and have
mainly looked after the delivery of
suits, overcoats and furnishings and
have succeeded fairly well. Some of
our new stock of fall and winter
goods will be coming right along,
and l hope in time for the big Win
neshiek County Fair. have ordered
all my purchases to come by express,
as there may be delay in freight
shipments. The friends and custom
ers of the Square Dealing Clothing
Store can depend upon the same
courteous treatment and hospitality
as they have received the past 49
years, and while these are very alb
normal conditions, still I feel con-
fident that we will be able to sup
ply our trade with the best quality
of clothing and furnishings at lower
prices than any other clothing con-
Germ in the country.
Hoping to merit your confidence
and good will in the future as in the
past, and looking forward to your
continued trade, l am, Sincerely,
BEN BEAR.

Trap Hill, N. C.-Mrs. .Euroda Hol- brook, recently made this statement "l was very weakly for three or four years with womanly troubles. 1 was much worse at special times. Every month 1 would have to lie in bed for three or four days.
 My chief suffering was in my back. l could not tell how badly It ached, but it seemed as if it could not possibly ache worse. Whenever ] would get tired, or if 1 was much on my feet, 1t would ache. Cardui was all the medicine l took.
 l saw, with the first bottle, that l was being benefited, but l kept right on for five bottles regularly. By thls time l was so 1 could do all my oWn work, which for sometime l had not been able to do.
 That is the only time 1 ever took 1t regularly, but l always have it on had to use when l do not feel well and it always helps me-"

XIV.-HE DOESN'T LIKE MAR
 JORIE

The next day Crittenden referred again to what Marjorie had to say about the living room. It was obvious that he was beginning to realize something was wrong with 1t. But, knowing him and the steadfastness of his will, had no hope that he ever would acknowledge as much.
 "Yes, she had lot to say about this room," he remarked, apropos of nothing but his thoughts, for we had not been talking of Marjorie Boyd. l knew instantly to what and to whom he referred.
 q wouldn't worry about it, Crit tenden, dear,"I returned. l did not want him to dislike Marjorie, and 1 was thinking of what she had said. He knew, since I told him, that she was entirely ignorant of the changes he had made and the summary manner in which he had made them. Anc his mind was sufficiently judilial to realize that, under the circum- stances, she was not guilty of in- tentionaly offending him. But his was such personality that it brook ed no Interruption of his plans or interference with his ideas, no mat ter whether the offense was inten- ded or accidental.
 "She talks too much, anyway" he then criticised. Pm not going to feel that you'll muct if you see less of her." & I was instantly on the defensive for Marjorie. And 1 felt a little fear too, that he was endangering one of my greatest pleasures, the friendship 1 of Marjorie Boyd, whom l loved very dearly. "Now, Crittenden, let Marjorie

Tells of PriyatiOns
 At German Capital

Toledo, O., 6.-Starving and with out clothing or fuel, Madame Marie Berlino, former Lima woman, in a letter to friend here tells of her predicament in Berlin and says she never expects to be able to leave there. The letter which was written August IS, says she has made all arrangements for the end and, unless something unexpected happens, it will occur soon.
 Madame Berlino went to Germany twenty years ago to study music. She won fame and was honored by the eX-empress.
 Her letter tells of terrible suffer- ing in German capital. Only the im- mensely rich have food and clothing, she says. There is little mainten- ance of law and order and killing is the rule, while workers refuse to work. She sees no prospect of re- lief although inhabitants of the city are becoming so starved they stag ger like drunken persons.
 She concludes her letter by say ing she believes the former kaiser would be torn to pieces were he in Berlin now. In her opinion, Ger many is crushed never to rise again.

 "Crittenden, Pm so glad!" l cried. For 1t IS not little thing to have ones lifelong friendship for another threatened so.
 He smiled at me, sheepishly, and put hls arms about me as l sat on the arm of his chair. l believed the situation perfectly in hand, and sought, goodnaturedly, to scold him into a good humor. 1 had found that friendly scolding worked wonders with Crittenden-only he had to be ready for it.
 "4ou've been a bad boy, Critten- den. You deserve to be spanked and put to bed without any supper" l leased playfully.
 He merely grunted.
 Say Marjorie Boyd is a good girl Cr1ttenden," l commanded. "Say:i like Marjorie Boydv"
 He got up almost tumbling me from my perch on the arm of his chair.
 Cut it out," he parked at me. q won't stand for being made ridicu- lous,. Go little farther, and I'll for bid you to have anything to do with her."
 Then turned and stalked off up- stairs to his den. l had been mistaken about the situation being perfectly in hand and about the time being right to scold him into a good humor. Crittenden was indeed an odd specimen of the genus homo.
