He says the land is of the richest quality and sells from $12.50 to S2O an acre. The climate, he says, is fine and the country destined to become great. He says- oats and wheat crops are planted in the fail, pastured through the winter and in the summer yield great harvests. The land in the Panhandle is being sold to farmers who will till soil which has heretofore been used as pasture lands.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Shoppers often wonder why it is . that so many goods have such odd prices attached to them —$1.12, $4.99, $”.24, etc. —but they seldom realize ' that odd prices are one of the retail trade secrets for selling more goods. Few customers, especially women. . are in such a hurry to get away that that cannot wait for their few cents I change and while they are waiting . they gaze around at other goods. Often something strikes their eye ( which they are positive they simply must buy and occasionally the clerk makes another sale before the customer leaves the store. It is said that ' odd prices are reponsible for fully 15 or 20 per cent of each day’s sales.

Hartford City, Dunkirk, Portland, Winchester and Lebanon having good ball teams this season, there is no reason why the fans of this city should not be able to see real live sport during the coming season. All of the above named cities have organized and are now busily engaged in getting their men secured for the coming season. All the independent teams will open the season some time during the month of May. Say, don’t you wish that month would hurry up and get here? The Antique Quilting Club was entertained last Thursday by the Misses Ada and Eva Stewart, living just east of the State line. To say the crowd was a merry one would be expressing it mildly.

Rheumatism • I hare found a tried and tested cure for Rheumatism ! Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths barjk to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—l found the last ingredient with which Dr. Shoop’s Rheums tic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now. at last, it uniformly cures al! curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when addec to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need —no actual excuse to suffer longer without help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop’s heumatic Remedy W. H. NACHTRIEB.
