Getting the Most for Our Money.

What is it we expect to obtain when
we spend money for furnishings! Per
manence, greater comfort, warmth and
beauty. The purpose Of the home is
comfort, a place TO rest, and renew
our energies. The furnishings always
express the taste of the individual
making the home They are part of
the individual, showing the ideals for
life and standards of taste and beauty,
SAYS the Burlington Clipper.
Simplicity is evidence of good taste,
Here it is better to furnish slowly and
to choose one good piece at time
than to buy whole sets with supcrfu
Gus pieces How much money ought
we TO allow for furnishings is per-
picking question that frequently arises
in connection with our budget. One
couple can be satisfied with the simple
necessities, while another is unhappy
until fitted so as to make an impress
sion upon their friends.
We always have deep respect for

The New England Type.

The character and career of the Re
! publican candidate for president cannot
be better summed up in single
| phrase than to say that Warren &.
Harding is man of the New England
type,
Born upon a farm; spending his boy
hood in rural occupations and pleas
ures; beginning his active newspaper
career before he was 20; developing an
early interest in politics and signal
ability as campaign speaker, and
holding important state offices before
his election to the United States Sem
ate, his native ability and his expe-
rience give him especial qualifications
for the office to which he has been NOM
mated
The product Of an Embossed eonven.
ton, and himself an Embossed man;
sturdy. resolute and unselfish in his
attitude on public questions; having
no faint of Identification with any
sinister or secret interests--he is as
esentially of the New England type
as ii he had been born and bred in
some hill town in Vermont. There
could could not have been more for.
tunate association of candidates than
that of Warren G. Harding for presi
dent and Calvin Coolidge for vice presi-
dent, side by side. discloses resem-
blances so marked that the two might
have been brothers. In the campaign
before us. they will be the best posi-
BILE running mates, standing for the
same high ideals, and appealing to the
same typeS of voters
Not infrequently in the past, the
nomination for vice president has been
matter of compromise, of local or
political dickering and adjustment.
There is nothing Of that this time. The
candidates are of similar character and
purpose Associated in office. they will
stand for the same things and work
for the same ends. With the election
OF this ticket, the country will be as
sured of "a vice president who will be
no agurehesd. but will confront all
emergencies with Fthe same firmness
and courage which he showed in a
time of crisis as governor of Massschu-
sets. Boston Transcript.

the morning of June II clad in his pa
jsmas and slumped down in a chair
against the wall of the reception room
on the, first floor of his three story
house on West 10th street. He died
several hours later without speaking
a word which might betray the identi-
ty of his slayer.
He was found by Mrs Marie Larsen
Elwelfs housekeeper, arriving for her
work of tidying UP the house. On a
table at his side were several letters
one of which, from a racing associate
had been removed from the envelope
The letters had been delivered by the
postman at 1885 o'clock.

could not imagine why Elwell should
have been so anxious TO communicate

hours. They had not been intimate in
many months, he said.

REV. COPELAND DIED SUDDENLY

1t will be sad news to the many
friends Of Rev. e. G. Copeland, former
pastor of the Methodist church of this
city, to learn that he died suddenly
Thursday at Fairfield, Iowa, while on
hts way to his residence after doing
some trading down town.
Rev. Copeland was pastor of the
Methodist church in this city one year.
He gave up the ministry on account Of
his health and moved to his old home
in Fairfield last September. He servs
ed in the M. f. pastorate in Cresco be-
fore coming to New Hampton.
- The Rev. Copeland was a splendid
man and man who exemplified the
Christian virtues which he preached.
He was not only loved by the members
of his parish, but by all who knew
him and everyone is sorry that he has
passed to- that better land from
whence no travellers ever return.
His funeral was held Monday at
Farrfieid.-New Hampton Tribune.
We are sure the foregoing item will
be read with regret and with sym
pathy for Mrs. Copeland and daughter
Beulah. Mr.. Copeland was pastor of
the Cresco NJ. E. church for two years
ending in October, 1919, and when
transferred to New Hampton left many
friends in Cresco both within and
without his church.
