A Guaranteed Vehicle

is surely worth more money than one bought for a few dollars less, but without any guarantee as to its durability or as to what lies under the varnish and paint. Our vehicles are all guaranteed by Buch makers as Studebaker, Moyer, Bailey, etc., and will outwear any other lines sold in this county. That's a big assertion but we are prepared to make it good.

The time for busy buying is past and merchants must put forth all their efforts to the selling of broken stock from DOW until the spring openings begin. If the holiday business haB been larger than usual, then the merchant should make the dull season's business larger than ever.

It's the most profitable because people have more time. When the merchant is not busy the people are not, and so it goes. If a business man believes only in advertising at certain seasons, he should cut advertising down during the busy season and increase it during the dull months.

Post Cards.

Private mailing cards must hereafter bear the words "post card," instead of mailing card, and at the right hand top corner "place postage stamp here." The words "post card" have been substituted for "mailing card," it is said, in order that the cards may be more properly considered under the control of the government.

Instead of being compelled to make them all the size of the regulation postal card, printers will now have a a maximum and minimum by which to regulate the size, the maximum being 3 9-10x5 9 16 inches, and the minimum 215-16x4^ inches.

Anyone can make the cards, provid ing they conform to government regu lations. When used they must bear a postage stamp.

No Politics for Postofflce Employes*

Employes of the postofflce department in the Eighth Indiana congressional district have been sharply reprimanded for engaging in politioal work. Some of them may lose their places, Most of the meh who have come under1 the displeasure of the department are employed in the service in Delaware county. The complaint was made to the civil service commission by Lucius B. Swift, of the political activity of certain men. The letter from Mr. Swift came to W. D. Foulke, the Indiana member of the commission, who turned it over to the postofflce department. It was not a case that came under the jurisdiction of the civil service commission.

A. W. Machen, superintendent of rural delivery, promptly ordered an investigation and sent an inspector to the congressional district. The report sustained the allegations made by Mr. Swift, and the reprimand followed.

The office of the first assistant postmaster general co-operated with Mr. Machen is sending notices to the offending carriers, both city and rural, that engaging in political work will not be tolerated. Notice was served that employes of the postofflce department who are 'serving on political committees must get off the committees or get out of the service.

Shrinkage of Corn.

Much has been said at various times concerning (he shrinkage of corn in the course of a year from the time it is cribbed. A test of the matter was made this year in this vicinity, with the following result: A man put one hundred and thirty bushels, by weight, of corn of good quality in a bin about eight feet above the ground well protected against the ravages of rats and other intruders on the first of October of last year. On the first of last September, or eleven months from the time he weighed it in) he weighed it out again aDd had one hundred and one bushels of corn, or a loss of twenty-nine bushels.. The corn when put in was dry enough to shell readily and could have been put on the market at seventy pounds per bushel. The shrinkage was a fraction over twenty-two per cent, and the owner of the corn is firmly convinced that considerable advantage in price is necessary to justify the holding over of corn.—Attica ledger.

Traction Company Elects Officers.

Tuesday the Crawfordsviile Traction company held their annual meeting for the election of officers, and the following men were elected for the ensuing yea*:

President—A. F. Ramsey. Vice-president—A. E. Reynolds. Treasurer—P. C. Somerville. Secretary—C. N. Vancleave. On the board of directors, James L. Allen, of Covington, was elected to a place on the board in place of E. B. Taylor, of Chicaeo.

The company expects to begin work the first of next April, if the present plans mature, and the work pushed to a rapid completion.

What the Truancy Law Has Accomplished.

The board of state truancy hae, after considerable correspondence, obtained reports from every one of the 1

Auditor Hart for Governor.

There is an impression among Indiana politicians in Washington that Auditor of State William H. Hart, is preparing to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, and that he will make the race as a business men's candidate, citing as his authority for the use of this term the business-like methods of accounting, etc., employed in the auditor of state's office and the state institutions during his regime. It is believed that he is counting on the moral, if not the material, support of Governor Durbln, who is a close friend. Capt. Hart will have left the auditor of state's office long enough to enable him to array his forces in battle line for the gubernatorial affray.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

^Comment and Storj^

A citizen: "Here is a remedy for smallpox that has been proven to be good and is known to have cured and also prevented a number of cases in Chicago, where they have had the disease for fifteen vears: If you have been exposed to the infection, take pure apple cider vinegar, place It in a plate or bowl, or saturate a oloth with it and hang it in the living or sleeping room. When anyone is in Immediate danger, pour some vinegar on a handkerchief and frequently place it to the mouth or nose, and occasionally take some of it in the mouth. The more frequently it is inhaled the better. Another way of evaporating the vinegar in a room where there is a case of smallpox, and one whioh secures good results, is by putting a hot iron into the bowl of vinegar and letting the fumes that arise saturate the atmosphere of the room. As a preventive of the disease no better remedy than the one I have given here is known, and has time and again proved its efficacy, even after the disease had partly developed."

A miller: "There has been an unusually big wheat crop sowed in thiB county this year and If nothing happens there will be plenty of the grain next summer. The prospects are very good at present and many of the faro*ers have put in a hundred aores. There Is some corn left yet in the county, but the owners of it are many of them holding it for an advance in prioe and 7 there is not much copying in. Many of the farmers are holding what little wheat they have to feed their stook this spring as it makes a better and cheaper feed than they can buy."
