To Our Customers:
ON last Saturday our buyer, Mr. M. E. McCarty, took
his leave for New Ycrk and other Eastern cities
there to personally select and purchase our line of
fall and winter merchandise. In doing this we find that we
are better able to see and know just what is most desirable;
and having the spot cash to take advantage of the best of
ferings, we are better able to serve you and at a good saving
over what you would have to give for the same quality e.e
where. We carry all grades and if you wish something for
a low price we can serve you, and if you wish the best we
can supply this also; and in either case we know that the
values we have given you cannot be duplicated regularly
anywhere else in the city. Selling as we do for strictly
cash, we are prepared to buy for cash, and this is the reason
that you can always do better by trading at this store. We
appreciate your trade and will do our utmost to please you
at all times. And if you ever get anything that is not what
it should be let us know and you w ill find that we are only
too willing to make it right. We want you to make our store
your headquarters when in the city. Just come right in and
make yourself at home. We are pleased to have you do this.
Thanking you for the splendid patronage we have en
j'oyed at your hands in the past, and promising to do our
utmost to please you in the future, we remain,
Yours very truly,

The reason why vegetation on low
ground gets bit with spring frosts U
the more easily understood when. In
passing rapidly through the country,
one notices the marked differences In
temperature between strntas of air on
high and low lands, even if separated
by a Tery few feet
The old theory that thunder, the
mere noise, sours milk has been ex
ploded. It has been found that the
rapid souring of milk during a thun
derstorm Is due to the effect of the
electricity In the air upon the myraids
of bacteria which the fluid contains, it
having the effect to make these small
organisms very vigorous and active.
The white clover is abundant this
year again in many sections, and both
stock and bees are making the most of
It It Is not only pleasing to the eye
as It flecks the pasture stretches, but
the odor from It is most fragrant It
may be due to having needed moisture,
but It Is appearing this season In
abundance where there has been little
or Done of it for the past two years.
There Is nothing produced on the
farm that is more delicious and fra
grant than sweet, clean milk and Its
products, cream and butter, and, on
the other hand, nothing more rank or
odious than these same products if
they are dirty and full of putrefactive
bacteria. To produce the better grade
cleanliness is absolutely nwessary, and
this Is possible through the proper use
of cold and hot water and exposure to
unshlne.
The guano, which Is the deposit of
millions of sea birds found on the is
land adjacent to Peru, is said to have
been used and exploited commercially
by Incas centuries ago In modern
times this fertilizer has been used on
a commercial scale since 1MO. and
during the years Intervening it Is es
timated that the Islands have yielded
11,000.000 tons. Some years ago the
richest deposits were on the Cincha Is
lands, where the guano lay to the depth
of 100 feet
In many sections of the northern
states where the apple trees are likely
to produce Dew wood so late in the
season that It runs the risk of being
Injured by the fall freezes It Is well
to stop cultivation about the 15th of
July aDd sow some cover crop which
will absorb the surplus moisture that
the soil may contain. For this pur
pose vetch or oafs and buckwheat
may be used. The former bus a trifle
the advantage over the latter comblna
tlon In that It will continue to grow
after the first frosts and. being a leg
ume, enriches the soil through Its root
systems.

From An Observer
When walking thru your beautiful
city, one receives occasional shocks
while try Ing to locate himself from
the street names on the curbs. A
number of years hence when your
population has greatly Increased a
great many more people will b. read
ing the street names mid a great
many more people will wonder why
such errors as thu following were al
lowed when the walks were eon
striicted, and will perhaps wonder
as th'.' "Observer" does now, why
someone was not held responsible
for tills part of the Improvemtnt
work; why and where Is "Casacde
St.," "Tlit St.," "Colombia St,"
"Eight St." anil why are not the
let ters uniform and upright Instead
of giving the Impression that they
are leaning against one of the many
light poles for support.
Take a walk over the streets your
self and go after the contractor or
lifter someone, and have the names
corrected, but please don't refer the
matter to the street committee.

It Is possible to m.'ike use of nn nrtl

These fruits are for the most part

on the supply of moisture avalltible nt

No man who lays clnlm to patriotism
or a becoming sense or gniiiiuue ror
the blessings of n free country should
become so absorbed in achieving a bet
ter tyic of agriculture that he forgets
the while his responsibility for the
achievement of a better political and
economic order. It is ipiestlomible If
thot can be cnlled the best type of ng
rlculture which Is prosecuted under
conditions In which these higher ends
are not achieved.
The ways of nature are surely past
Drilling out. An Interesting Illustration
of this truth is the failure of the po
tato beetle to put in an npHiirance
this year In many sections where It
was a veritable pest lust your Wheth
pr wenttier conditions have anytning
to do with this iiotiappea ranee or

Plenty of Room In Professions
For Right Men
By Dr. JOHN CRIER HIBBEN. President of Princeton University
1DO not sluire the general alarm over tbo so called orercrowd
iu;,' of the professions. I feel, as Daniel Webster put it, that
there is ALWAYS ROOM AT THE TOP. The world U
continually in search of really able and talented men, and
there are not beginning to bo enough nowadays to meet the supply.
Tlio trouble arises from the fact that a great many men are simply
of MKIHOCIiE ABILITY and lack the energy and enterprise neo
essary to reach the top. In other words, they do not work hard
enough nnd are careless in the preparation for their life work.
GOOD MEN ARE EVERYWHERE IN DEMAND, AND 80 FAR
FROM THE PROFESSIONS BEING OVERCROWDED THERE 19 A LA
MENTABLE LACK OF REALLY ACCOMPLISHED MEN.

After the Doctor--
TMU DRUGGIST
The doctor's work is only half
what has to be done for the pa
tient. And if the druggist be
lacking in ability and care the
prescription might as well have
never been written. Hut we
make a special study of each case
and our own medical knowledge
is thorough enough to be of great
use to us in those sometimes oc
curring cases when the doctor,
in his haste, makes a slight error.
