1T MAY BE WELL to remind the
merchants and the people generally
that there is only seven more is
sues of the Milford Chronicle be-
tween now and Christmas Day.
This means that only three issues OF
the paper will be available for an
nouncements of holiday attractions
bv the merchants. This fact should
not be overlooked by either the
buver or seller of holiday goods.
Those who buy read the papers and
see which of the many merchants
are reaching out for holiday trade
nv advertising their Christmas
stocks. This is done weeks in ad-
vance to get the attention of the
early buyers, who are generally the
hest of the holiday trade customers
FIR 4 merchant. The last hour shop
pers always exist, but the merchant
who is capable of supplying the holl-
dav trade Just a little better than
the other fellow, takes advantage
of ehe early advertising weeks to
get the people attracted towards
his store. Just word to the adver-
tisers for their welfare. Don't get
the idea that the punch or draw
ing power is in the advertising
space you use in your advertisement
in any paper! That comes from the
wrb.er of your advertising and it IS
in his or her ability to state in plain
understandable words the facts, as
TO the exact articles which compose
the stock and the whole truth all
the time. That's where the punch
in any advertising lays. 1t attracts
the reader as truthful. 1t fixes at
tention of the buyers and beglts
confidence in the store-if the stock
there measures up to the state
ments in the advertisement. Just
remember, that there are only three
days TO get Tie IdCIS dS " AOA4N"5
stocks before the people in the
weekly newspapers, after Thanks
giving has passed; and, there are
only three more weekly issues in
November to tell the public, and the
public to learn about where they
can be best served for the holiday
trade. Business is different in these
days from even ten years ago.
Travel is more easy and distances
are shortened as to time required
to reach an objective place. If you
are in business for business, play
the game or get out of the way of
those who will.

an ice plant for time.
A casual remark. perhaps suggest
ed by the dank interior of the un-

and aging beer before the day Of
artificial refrigeration, that it was a
good place for mushrooms, brought
about a change, three years ago.
Experts were brought from Italy
under the direction Of l.. F. Lambert
Of West Chester, Pa, and an au-
thority on mushrooms laid out the
plantation. The beds were first To-
Gated in the high ceilinged vaults.
A year ago the plantation became
the largest in the country. A plant
in New York was dismantled and
the equipment brought here. and pro-
duction on large scale was begun.
The plantation ships daily an av-
erage Of 500 pounds of the tasty
agarics. and this year will ship 3OO.-
600 pounds. The Louisville plant,
in addition to being the largest, also
is the only one in the country which
is equipped to grow mushrooms the

them daily. Three complete crops
are grown annually.

Great and Littl" Osagcs, receiving
in return right Of way TO the ricn
trading posts Of New Mexico. Here
at Council Grove, beneath the blaZcd

Bought From Indians
Historians have never explained
satisfactorily why those commission
ers, dispatched into the frontier by
President John Quincy Adams. sin
glod out the Usage and Kaw tribes
to barter for the Mexican trade
route. Council Grove then was un-
peopled. No white man settled there
until ls47. The Osages lived near
by, but not at the Ncosho river ford
that saw 50 many early caravans.
SIX days Iater, the identical treaty
was signed with the Kaws. on Tur-
key creek, in Mcpherson county.
Never did the O3agcs nor tn"
kaws the Kansas Indians break
their faith. The word Of the treaty
was kept. and since August. 1928,
neither kaws nor Usage tribe has
risen against the white man.

An encampment Of the Kaws has
come from their new home in Okla

Although it was the Osages who met
the commissioners here century
ago, the kaws are returning to Join
