HELLER, Manager. ft will be remembered that when the meat trust was “Investtßated" during the Roosevelt administration it' was given a certificate of innocence so far as its prices and profits were concerned and what amounted an apology was tendered the packers tor prying into their financial affairs. They were told, however, that they must clean up their packing houses, and as a result the people have been paying about $3,000,000 for inspectors ever since. But the meat trust has been skinning the country without any sort of interruption from the federal authorities to the present day. The people have reason to be skeptical of the government’ threat to “bring the meat trust to time.” In no country on earth would a fool trust be allowed to exist except in the United States, and it exists here solely because the whole policy of the republican party has been of a sort to encourage such a thing. Permanent relief from the exactions of the food trust and other trusts will not come until there is a complete change of parties and policies at Washington.

NOTICE On account of change of firm those indebted to Moses & Meyer will please settle at once.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Dinner Party Given by Mr. i t and Mrs. Dyke Frisinger ' Sunday. i I ! A BIRTHDAY DINNER Adult Class Organised—Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Sprang Entertained. Just one hundred fifty-pje years ago today, January 25, 1759, was Bobbie Burns, the Scotch poet, born, and his sweet songs have-come down as a rich legacy to us, more appreciated perhaps with each passing year. In every wind that blew, every flower that grew, and every act and situation, he found a poem, and drew therefrom a lesson —for others. Probably the one that is most familiar to us, and the one from which we all may draw a lesson, is the closing of the poem which the irresistable Bobby was inspired to write after attending church where he saw a louse playing hide and seek among the folds of silks and velvets on a lady’s bonnet: O, wad some Power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us! And foolish noUon. What airs in dress and gait wad lea'e us, And ev’n Devotion! Mildred and Ted Donaldson of Warsaw and Mr. Burnett of Wabash were entertained Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Sprang. Mr. and Mrs. James Dailey and family, Mr. and Mrs. James Moses and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Moses and family were guests at a dinner partygiven Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. Dyke Frisinger.

President Falliers today subscribed $4,000 for the relief of the suffering. Thousands are absolutely destitute. The American embassybuilding is surrounded by water and the damage is extensive. (United Press Service.) Littlefalls, N. Y„ Jan. 25—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Twentieth Century Limited on the New York Central railroad was wrecked at St. Johnsville early today. Engineer Stanlon and Fireman Hangdie, both of Syracuse, were instanly killed. Every coach left the tracks, and although the train was running at a high rate of speed every coach remained upright. None of the passengers were badly injured. The accident was due to the attempt of the engineer to cross from one track to another without reducing speed. A VIOLENT DEATH (Continued from page 1.) reached here and has been there since, and Mrs. Anderson went to Fort Wayne this afternoon on the 1 o’clock car. The affair is a very sad one and greatly deplored by his friends and relatives. o NOTICE, All members interested in the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias are requested to be a tthe hall this evening at 7 p. m.

[A “FRIEND-MAKING” SALE| One thing we like about a Clearance Sale like ours: if we don’t make a lot of profit, selling clothes at less than they’re worth, we certainly do make a lot of friends. Every time we get a man into one of our Hart Schaffner & Marx a———■—s—■— Suits and Overcoats, we know we have made him a solid friend of our store and of our merchandise and we know that friends are worth a good deal more to a business than a few dollars of immediate profit. We want to clean up our surplus stock of winter goods; we d rather give you the benefit of our extremely low prices now than to carry these goods through until next fall. We re willing to allow you | something on the price—a good generous slice of it, | to pay you for doing the carrying over. We’re selling H. S. & M., fine suits and overcoats in this sale; if you are familiar with what that name stands for, we needn’t say more except to quote prices. If you’re not familiar by experience now’s a good time for you to learn the value of good clothes. FANCY OVERCOATS at 20 PER CT. OFF I 75 FANCY SUITS at 25 PER CT.
