from the Cat Creek field, which has

BOYCOTTING EACH OTHER
Court House Fight in Fayette County
Making Lots of Trouble.

Our local greenhouse merchant,
Charles Hartman, for the past year
or SO has been purchasing cut flow
ers and other plants for his local
-.-~Srr1r01H5C rTurrr--eAvtf.ern. ne nag
been informed BY the Oelwein COM
pany that if he doesn't buy any more
flowers from them that they will put
a man in here to operate a green
house and sell flowers. Mr.. Hard
man is not buying any flowers in
Oelwein, and won't. And it won't
help the Oelwein company any to put
man in here to sell Oelwein flowers.
1t is not for US to tell you the rea-
son as it is not very deep.
1t is also reported that a respon-
sible business man of the shop city
spoke out in meetin'" and said "if
Oelwein, when she heard the court
house was burning in West Union,
had telephOned sympathy and pro
mise" of $4,000, she would be more
than that much better off financially
today. All of which is the truth, and
the truth will prevail.
Oelwein merchants have always en-
joyed fairly good trade from West
Union and surrounding community.
Now that the Oelwein chamber of
"a, tx.i nh thns. l., 81
rotary, are trying to get the county
seat away from West Union all bus
mess relations cease to exist, that is,
between their customers in the north
ern part of the county and them
selves. We could give a fair esti-
mate of the amount of business that
comes into Oelwein from the north
part of the county, but that would
not be fair to the majority of our
citizens.
The Oelwein merchants can put
this down in their note book, that
West Union and community are
through trading in Oelwein, and
right here we will state that the DEL
vein merchants are going to feel it.
The breach is opened, and Oelwein's
chamber of commerce and salaried
secretary, who has been in the coun-
ty sixty days, opened it.
The slogan in the north part of the
county today is, "the court house for
West Union, and trade with your
home merchants. West Union

Champion Chicken Picker a Woman

Atlantic, Iowa-The champion
chicken picker of the state, some
believe, may be Mrs. Charles Burns
Of this city, whose record is as high
as $50 birds in a day.
With the assistance of her nus
band, who is not yet an expert, the
daily average for a long time has
been 800 and at 3H cents a bird
they earn a very nice wage.
Mrs. Burns works with lightning
like rapidity, taking a hen from the
coop, sticking it, attaching the blood
cup, looping its legs in a rope, and
with a few deft movements the hen
is stripped clean but is still Tapping
its wings in the death struggle.

DUTY WELL Done
Springfield Citizens WorthiIy
Honored LinColn'S Memory.
Writer Who Knew the Great President
Commends Placing of Tablets
at Points of Interest.

Springfield citizens have discharged
a duty which the nation has owed to
future generations. They have re-
called the memory of Abraham Lin
coins life in Springfield by placing
thirteen bronze tablets at places made
historic by events in Lincoln's career
while he resided there, writes Henry
B. Rankin in the New York Tribune.
To younger citizens who never knew
him and to the thousands of visitors
who are attracted to Springfield only
because it was the home Of Lincoln,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1922-02-10

these tablets will be most revealing
of his presence in the Illinois capital.
These memorials are a living embodi-
ment of the Lincoln spirit in Spring
field and are as appealing and more
voiceful than even his tomb.
Some of the locations marked are

correctly placed. Four of the tablets
mark places and events where l was
present and familiar with the events

system becomes saturated with pol
sons, the patient becomes thin and
pale and in time various complications
are apt to result.
Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive
tonic and quickly oyercomes this con-
dition by aiding nature to eliminate
the impurities from the system in a
natural way and enable the vital or
gans to properly perform their func-
lions. That is why 1t is called Ma
lures Medicine.
In fact, there is not a single por-
ton of the body that is not benefited
by the helpful action of Tanlac, which
begins it's work by stimulating the di-
gestive and assimilative organs, there
by enriching the blood and invigorat-
ing the entire system. Next, it en-
ables the weak, worn-out stomach to
thoroughly digest it's food and convert
the nourishing elements into bone,
blood and muscle. The result is you
feel strong, sturdy and well with the
proper amount of flesh, as Nature in
tended. Sold by all good druggists.

Millions Of people have not only
been relieved of the most obstinate
forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by
Tanlac after other remedies have
failed, but large numbers of them
have reported a remarkable and rapid
increase in weight and a return to
NAL health and strength by it's use.
In fact, so phenomenal have been
the gains in weight by thin, frail peo-
pie through the use of Tanlac that
this remarkable preparation is now

fully described In my Personal Recol-
lections of Abraham Lincoln"
Of the Lincoln law Office some more
intimate recognition of the part it had
in Lincoln's life deserves mention at
this time. This office was the center
of Lincoln's legal, political and literary
activities in Springfield. Volumes might
have been written of what took place
here, had there been such a compe-

1t is now more than sixty years
since 1 passed daily under the swing

and down the stairway, into and from
a back room, located in what was then

the law Office of Abraham Lincoln for
the last seventeen and most strenuous
years he spent in Springfield.
1t was my privilege, for several of
those later years, to share in that Of

No place in Springfield, not even his

this office brings to the students of
Lincoln's history. LincoIn's most
studious years were spent here, as
well as the most aspiring ones. 1t
YVES here that he grew clear visioned
on the futures national problems and
threw his whole soul into their solu-

skill in handling human implements.
Political events rapidly succeeded each
other in those years he spent there.
These arose to a climax at length with
swiftness unlocked for by most others.
