SHERIFF FRANK BAKER
APPOINTS new DEPUTIES

Sheriff Frank l.. Baker has an
nounced the following appointments:
Under-Sheriff, Mrs. Julia Baker,
TO reside at Ellsworth
Deputy Sheriff 0. P. Olson, to re-
side at Ellsworth.
Deputy Sheriff, james r. Richards,
To reside 1T River Falls.
The appointment of "Jim' Richards
was largely the result of the work OF
members Of the LEGAL American Lee
gion Post, as they were very anxious
to have en- cx-service man appointed
here. Sim" is about rs good a
deputy as Sheriff Baker could have
ricked out, in our opinion, and the
fact that he is an ex-service man is
just one of the many points in his
favor.

Who Originates The
Anti Test Literature

Although the literature which is
being published locally in opposition
4o the tuberculin test for cattle is
not very convincing in its appeal, it
does however arouse curiosity as to
the .'who and why" of its origin, and
supporters of the test idea have
furnished the following information
on It.
Fathered here by an organization
known as the Golden Star Cooper
alive Cheese Company, H. c. Steb-
nitz, Secretary" the series of adver-
tisements are in reality copied from
pamphlets issued at so much per
hundred by the American Liberty
League" which has its headquarters
ID Chicago.
Mrs. Lora c. Little, author of the
al. which appeared locally two weeks
ago, is secretary of this organization,
and is an active contributor to the
Truth Teller" the Leagues official
semi-monthly publication.
Membership in Mrs. Titles league
costs 50 per year. Ten individuals
who join the national organization
and pay their annual fees-may or
ganize "local league"
The truth Teller" is published by
the Ensign Publishing Co., Battle
Greek, Mich, and its editor is w. s..
Ensign, Unidentified with "The En-
sign Remedies" which include in its
list cures for disappointment in
Love- "Floating Kidney" 'Iazi-
ness" "Bashfulness,' etc.
Its remedies are listed numerically
Take No. 675A and B for dipther-
Id; do not use anti-toxin." "Topers
should use No. IT," and 1874 and B
are to be taken in case you "see
animals and reptiles
Some of these remedies, which sell
at 81 each, upon analysis were found
to contain 100 per cent sugar which
cost at that time one-tenth of cent
for each dollar package. The price
If sugar has raised considerable
since then, however.
George Star White, NJ. D., F. S. Sc.
Lend, author of the anti-test adver
tisement published locally last week,
had speciality known as "Bio-Dyna-
-Chromatic-D iagonisis' or "Diag
nosis by Sympathetic Vagal Reflex"
TO obtain results the patient must
face first east or west and then
north or south and have his bare
abdomen precussed and then exposed
to coIored lights.
White, during the first flu cpl
demic, promoted "Oil Tablets" which
were for gripping the flu out of in
fiuenza.'
The letters "F. S. Sc. Lond.," after
DR.. Whites name, mean Fellow of
the Incorporated Society Of Science,
Letters and Arts of London, Ltd"
This title, held by many patent
medicine exploiters in the United
States, costs one guinea.
The above named, and others on
The s'Truth Teller" staff are the
who" Of the pamphlets from which
the anti-test propaganda is quoted.
The "why" appears to be bittor
opposition to medical doctors gcne1-
ally, as expressed at the bottom of
enc Of their pamphlets (S3 per 1,0Jc)
as follows: Stop this thing at lis
source. Defeat every doctor who
dares run for your legislature. OPP
pose them ALL"

Marshall Norseng.
The committee for next Monday is:
Anna Hawkins, Addie Tobiason, and

Our weekly poem was written by

The Grim Spectre, FUNK
The stars shine above you,
Just linger awhile;
You've written, and written
In your very best style;
Your teacher, though far away,
Over you, she still holds sway;
Your poem sounds foolish,
SO linger awhile.
The clock strikes above you
But linger awhile;
Your poems before you,
SO linger awhile;
1t seems not to make good sense"
You vow you'll get recompense,
A funk" pears before you,
So linger awhile.

Butterfield's the Rendezvous
For the Hungry Man

Let's eat at Butterheld's" is COM
mon expression among the business
men of Augusta. So to Butterfield' 8
they go for anything from sandwich
to a full meal.
Butterfield's restaurant has been an
institution in Augusta for quite few
years. A whole lot of food, well
cooked for small sum of money is
the rule by which the proprietor of
the place conducts his business and
the great popularity he has enjoyed
is proof that it is a good rule.
Special dinners and special suppers
bring goodly crowds to the neat place
at 161 Water street and just now,
when the summer visitors are pass
ing through the city and business
men are staying down to lunch more
often than at other times in the year,
the demand for "Butterfield's" Is
stronger than ever.

Fred's Signs Signs
Of Good Taste

A. A. Lacomb paints signs -
"Fred's" signs he used to call them
and everywhere in Augusta, it is
Fred, paint this" and Fred, paint
that"
The man who can paint good signs
must have an artistic temperament.
Hand-lettering i, always better than
anything that is turned out from
stereotyped letters. Even in the news
papers and the magazine, those ad-
vertisements that are known to have
hand letters" in them are regarded
as more striking and more valuable
than those that are printed Just from
the type.
And so it is with signs. Fred"
Lacomb has been doing this work for
quite a few years in Augusta. Start
ing in small way as a side line, he
has developed regular business in
I it until it now takes all his time al 4
still the work piles up. Signs on
cards, on windows. anywhere, are
| made in a way that speaks we'll for
his appreciation of values.
A sign painter works in numerous
mediums. One day it may be just a
rough piece of work he is to turn out
in plain black and white. while the
next day he may be called On to do
some delicate gold lettering on a
window that calls for dainty shading.
| 1t is all the same with Fred" or the
| big job or the little job all receive
his careful attention with unques-
| toned satisfaction on the part of the
| individual for whom the work IS
done.

Good Time to Have
That Chimney Fixed

It Is safe to say there is no better
known contracting firm in and about
Augusta than Swift & Anderson.
There are several Swifts in the Cap
ital city and there are several An
dersons, but this is the only@ firm
where the two work in combination
to the great salts action of their many
customers.
Mason contractors" is the desig-
nation by which they are known and
it is a true one. Masonry is their big
speciality and in it they have COM
pleted some of the best pieces of
work in this section. But on the small
job, too, they are just as thorough,
for M. H. Swift and Oscar H. Ander-
son believe that what is worth doing
at all is worth doing we'll, even
though that old adage may seem out
of date in the opinions Of some. At
this time of year, when the furnace
| fires are out and chimneys need to
be cleaned, Swift & Anderson are
called in for service. Knowing thor
oughly what makes a good chimney
and what is a house without a good
chimney-they have brought happi-
ness to many a housewife who found
| that the stove didn't draw" as per-
| haps it should. So. it naturally fol-
! lows, if the firm of Swift &, Ander-
son is faithful under what may seem
a small job, they are just as faithful
with big ones.

McCurdy and he is one Of the young
men who, after proper training, has
had the courage to go into business
Tor himself and has shown that he
can be successful at 1t.
In these days, when the average in
dividual is thinking and talking and
using things electrical, man has to
be pretty good 20 get ahead. No one
will ever say that McCurdy isn't
good. Rather the folks who know him
will say that he is mighty good"
For the several years he has been
engaged as an electrical contractor,
many good Jobs" have come his way.
Good house wiring requires attention
to detail so that not only will the job
be neatly done, but it also must pass
the test of the fire insurance under
writer's. The McCurdy standard of
workmanship has met the test.
In addition to his electrical con-
tracing business. Mr.. McCurdy car
ries all kinds of electrical fixtures
and appliances, National Mazda
lamps, Simplex f1atirons and laun-
dry-ette washing machines.

1t would be hard to find a quieter

Mr.. Pierce doesn't say much, but
as all the world knows, it isn't al
ways the man who talks the most
VINO gets the most done. Mr.. Pierce
has the happy faculty of saying little
but what he says he means. He be-
heves in action and he get 1t. When
engaged in the building Of a house
that house occupies his attention to
the exclusion of all things else until
1t Is done. There Is no rush about It
just Off the sake of getting the iot
done. Rather Mr.. Pierce, having
taken the contract to construct the
building, believes hat he work should
be done expeditiously, but not so ex-
peditiously as to sacrifice quality
The numerous jobs that lie has done
not only in Augusta, but in nearby
places. are the best test Of his ability
to do things and do them right.
