It has been proven repeatedly
that the cause for backward"
school children is very often de-
fective vision-the child having
difficulty in seeing the blackboard,
I experiences embarrassment and
headaches, aching eyes, etc.
Whether your boy or girl is
backward or not don't you think
it would be a good idea to have his
or her eyes examined and KNOW
the condition of the vision and
whether glasses would be of any
aid? Drop in and see us about
your child's eyes-it's a good

IF ALL WHO HATE WOULD LOVE Us
II all who hate would love US,
And all our loves were true.
The stars that swing above US
Would brighten In the blue:
II cruel words were kisses.
And every scowi a smile.
A better world than this Is
Would hardly be worth while;
II purses would not tighten
To meet brothers need.
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave OF greed.
II those who whine would whistle.
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle.
The grain outrnn the chan.
II hearts were only jolly.
II erieyiue were forgot,
And tears Of melancholy
We're things that now are not.
Then love would kneel to duty,
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower Of beauty,
\ dream within a dream
And women cease 20 sigh.
And an be glad % bury
Whatever has TO die;

The rust would sat the saber.

And God would pause and listen.
And life would be divine.

TO ORGANIZE BOYS )

County Superintendent G. H.
Hecht is marking arrangements to
organize two Boys and Girls Clubs
among the pupils Of the country
consolidated and rural schools, one
club to be "a poultry project, and
the other a pork project. Boys
and girls may enter either project,
but not. both The work should
prove both beneficial and profitable,
as every boy and girl who enters
should earn some money and at the
same time learn many things Of val
4ue to them in connection with farm
production. Arrangements will be
made for prizes. etc. later. ~
.Sa Boys and girls, who enter either
4Droject will be required to follow
all rules and regulations which are
furnished by Mr.. .Hecht, keep accur-
ate records, and make reports as
often as8they are asked to. f5f;2s ss55fs
Clubs will be organized in as

that these clubs will create a big In

of great benefit to all concerned.

MOORE M! TO INSTALL. !:
OIL EQUIPMENT

E j. w. Moore and son Earl re-
turned on Saturday morning of last
sweels from Minneapolis where they
closed a contract for the installa-
Stion of. all oil station in this city,
and will during the coming season
handle everything in the line of
oils and greases, including gasolene,
kerosene, oils of all kinds, greases
of, all kinds, sweeping compound;
#etc. Their equipment will consist
of two $4,000 gallon tanks, one for
kerosene and the other for gaso-
lene, one 11a ton truck with 500
gallon tank, two $50 gallon meas
equipment with which to conven-
siently and economically handle
their products. All the equipment
will be shipped to arrive here about
February Is, and Mr.. Moore be-
Heves the entire plant will be ready
for business by March 1st. The
firm will be known as the Moore
Oil Co., and will solicit business in
Bowbells and the surrounding towns
as well as in the country wherever
kerosene or gasolene is used.
n. AS a site for their plant the
Moores have secured the old ground
on the 500 right Of way where the
Rogers Lumber CO. formerly had
their yards. The gasolene, kero-
sene. oils and greases will be sold
AT the same prices as that which the
Standard Oil station sells them, and
5as near as The Tribune can learn
there will be no advantage in deal
sing with either company except
that one or the other might claim
to have a better product. =
j The Moeres are not putting in
their new plant with the idea of
putting the Standard Oil Co. out of
Business. or because they have any
personal grievance against the local
agent of that concern, but simply
because they believe that there is
enough oil business in the Bowbells
territory to make a profit for both
companies. Both firms will deliver
their product anywhere within a
radius of 20 miles from the city at
the same price.
5 After the installation of the new
plant in Bowbells this city will be
the only one of its size in this part
lof the state that will have two oil
sta tions. which fact, while it may
not cut down the price any, it will
give the neople here the very best
kind of service. -
