riment was interrupted by a phone
call for Daddy. He spoke from an
adjoining room, so loudly that we
were obliged to hear his end of the
talk:
Lock her up! Yesi Lock her
up! Tell her we'll bail her out to-
morrow. maybe!"
Daddy was still laughing when he
rejoined us.
Ann has found a Jail, all right"
he said. Once more Ann scored with
the men.
l was simply furious with her. not
because of the scandal, but on &C
count of her husbands health. Jim's
nerves were in a bad way, / knew
he wouldn't sleep a wink that night.
I almost hoped that mice and rats
would frighten his selfish little in
genue wife half to death before
morning.
Not every one would have blamed
Ann! Many girls would have envied
her for she was the embodiment of
modern ideas about individualism.
She shaped her career to suit her
self, at any cost to anybody! She
was 81 set in her purpose to express
herself in art, to write the great
American play, that she couldn't
give a thought to the effect of her
selfishness upon her husbands con-
dition.
Her folly made me furious. l
knew that Ann v could write a
play because she could feel
deeply nor greatly.
In the morning Martha Palmer
arranged matters in a way to win
Daddy Lorimer's approval. The cpl
sode retained its Importance. to me.

brother-in-law in a rapid decline.
Ann herself became more willful
and headstrong than ever. More

Here is your chance to try, free, a
sweet, delicate nut butter churned
from dainty nut fats and fat-freed milk.
You will like it as well as the finest
butter, if you are a butter user, and
the price far better. If you are now
using some other brand of margarin,
the deliciousness of Troco Nut Butter
will be a surprise and a revelation It's
the finally perfected brand of nut butter.
Troco Nut Butter has the true flavor
of gilt-edged butter, put in by a famous
butter expert. 1t has the same food value.
But where the price of butter makes
it a costly luxury and an excessive tax
on the average p~ocket-book, Troco
costs about half as much. You can
usually buy two pounds of Troco Nut
Butter to every one of butter.
This puts an end to skimping and saw
ing-you can afford to use all you
want. This means q richer diet as well
as enjoyment at the table.
Fats in abundance are necessary to
good health. You and your family

Only Women Pearl Divers in World.
The profession of pearl-diving
has been opened to japanese wo-
men. They r the only women
pearl divers in the world.
These women r employed in
artificial beds of pearl oysters origi-
mated by a man named Mikimoto.
The artificial process consists of
introducing tiny metal pellets into
oysters when the latter are about
three years old. The bivalve is then
returned to the bed, and when
taken up four years later a true
pearl has formed about the metal
nucleus.
Women divers do all the work of
gathering and replanting the pearl
oysters. They think nothing of
staying under water three minutes
at a time.

A. E. Hoffman, for 80 years a butter
maker, famous for the unusual sweet
ness and delicacy of his butter, super
vises the making of Troco Nut Butter.
He puts in the same wonderful flavor.
He churns it from fat-freed milk, twice
pasteurized. He flavors it with the
same scientifically ripened milk which
made his butter famous for delicate
flavor.
He works in the new Troco plant.
built exclusively for the production OF
nut margarin. This plant provides him
with every possible facility, laboratory
and mechanical, for his exacting work.
With flavor superb, food value the

Butter finally solves the butter prob
lem. Accept the gift pound we offer.
and prove that we can't describe the
goodness of Troco Nut Butter.

ular meeting OF the Aledo city coun-
Gil held last night. the question Of
Aledos lighting system was taken
up. The plan of having one light
on each Of the lamp posts left burn
ing all night was discussed. The
custom formerly has been to leave
all the lights on until 10 o'clock in
the evening except on Monday and
Saturday nights, when they re-
manned lighted until midnight. The
new plan would mean all the lights
except one would be turned off at
3 o'clock each evening except Sat

to secure this service from the Illi-
nois Northern Utilities company,
who provide the light for Aledo.
1t was decided at last nights
meeting that the council would
order all cinders from the city's
heating plant given to the commun-
ity ice house committee to be used
in the erection Of the city ice house.
Petitions from Aledo residents who
desire to plant gardens on several
Of the city streets which are not
used for. traffic were granted last
night. The council also decided
that citizens who wished to cut
down or trim trees belonging to the
city must petition the superinten-
dent Of streets, who would take il
up with the street committee of the
council. This will save the citizens
from the necessity Of waiting for a
regular meeting OF the city council
before their petitions may be
entered.
