Honey Bees Invade Town

The Censor editor was puzzled on
Tuesday to observe hundreds of honey
bees endeavoring to get into Standi-
ford's grocery store. We couldn't un-
derstand it, as we knew the really
sweet thing there miss Gladys) had
left to take up her teaching work.
However, on going up street we found
each grocery store had its share, and
behind Sweger & Fleming's around a
barrel offruitrefuset they were swarm
ing by the thousands. Just why they
should invade the Main street on this
particular day we can't understand.
Mike Stoehr says they were high
grade Italian bees who probably had
been put out of house and home when
some one cut their bee tree in the
woods, and were seeking new home.
Frances Older visited friends in
Tomah and Sparta Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Caldwell visit

There has come into prominence
a prescription used by a leading

In one of the prominent drug
stores it has completely superseded
all other preparations variously
called tonics. The clerks see its
marvellous benefits daily. Men and
women who have come in sick, un-

and again seen in a week or
month after using Reolo are not
the same people either in appear
ance or action. They have gained

strength their blood is rich and

in the cheeks, a snap to the eye
that shows the vital processes

recommend it as the greatest re-
constructive medicine that ever
went over their counters. Get 81

PRIVATE


Utilities and railroads are making
progress in extending ownership OF
their securities among employees and
the public generally.
The Union Pacific system has es-
tablished a department that enables
any employee from section hand up to
acquire common stock.
This company has recently taken
over management and operation of
the Salt Lake and Los Angeles line,
an outlet to southwest Pacific ports.
This stock is sold to employees at
open market price on a partial pay
ment plan, and if payment is not COM
plete money is refunded.
These are great steps of progress
with one-man-owned rail
roads of the past, like a Hartman, or
Hill or Gould ownership.
With private ownership of public
service corporations extended to mil
lions of people who directly share in
the profits the world do move.
