And yet it often happens that the woman who doesn’t know her own mind gives her husband a piece of it. The nickel the-ater is all right as for as it goes, but how t’ keep away from home th’ remainder o’ th’ evenin' is what worries th’ gadabout. Women are funny things. They kiss when they meet and knock when they part. —Abe Martin. Miss Lizzie Johnston, primary teacher in the Ossian schools, has been compelled by serious illness i.o give up school work for the preser,i.

What is probably the largest private wireless station has just been installed in the city Hall at Minneapolis, Minn., by a non-commercial organization of wireless experts and amateurs, known as the Minneapolis Wireless association. The instruments in this station have been arranged with particular reference to experimental work, which will include tests and comparisons of new apparatus, studies of stray electrical disturbances, and the development of new apparatus. The aerial, which consists of eleven wires stretching between the two towers of the building, is 400 feet above the ground at the upper end. This station has a receiving range of 4.000 miles and a sending range limited only by the power used. The March Popular Mechanics Magazine contains a picture of the station. In the March Woman’s Home Companion appears a Tower Room Talk by Anne Bryan McCall entitled, “The Sincere Life,” in the course of which she quotes as follows from a letter which she has received: “Is it possible for one to be very sincere in a world where insincerity and convention play so large a part? Look at society. What is it, I’d like to know, but systematized hypocrisy? V.e pretend, and then we pretend we do not pretend. We say we are sorry, when ten to one we are glad; we say we are glad, when we are sorry. We hold our tongues in silence, when we are longing to speak, and we chatter like magpies when we haven’t a thing in the fold to say. We are all the time holding our feelings. Why, that is a part of beirfg well bred, to hide what you really feel, although I guess people in other walks of life are doing that all the time, too.”

Nearly a thousand have renewed their subscription to tlie Daily Democrat during the past three weeks. The month will soon be over and those who wish to take advantage of the offer should get in this month.

Miss Bertha Heller of the automobile department in the office of the secretary of state, Indianapolis, will arrive this evening for an over-Sun-day visit with her parents. Judge and Mrs. D. D.

We will do our part as near as we can and we appreciate the support which comes year after year. The twelfth anniversary, which we are celebrating this month, is already a success. Better hurry if you want one of the almanacs we are giving as souvenirs this month. — o 1 DECKS CLEARED (CnN’flNfTBW F«nv PAGE ONJC! a clause providing tiiat no constitu tional convention shall be called ex cept by a majority of the voters of the state.

Make This Store Your Grocery Store Dear Cousin Helen:Last Week Harry and I visited Mrs. McHenry. We went down Friday and came back Monday; and w-j did have such a good time—so many good things to eat. You just ought to taste her biscuits, they melt in your mouth —and when I asked her what flour she used, she said; “MARCO;” and what kind of baking powder, she said “MARCO.” I didr, t think so much of this MARCO business, for I didn’t know what it meant until we had some honey and preserves with our midnight lunch, and then I said: “What does this MARCO on the labels mean?” “Well, it’s just this,” Mrs. McHenry said, “Our grocery sells a full line of groceries under one brand, and we use MARCO flour, MARCO coffee, MARCO tea, Marco scap, etc. Every article is rjrand. ' have been using different brands, and when the clerk asked me to try a pound of MARCO coffee, I was sure I wouldn t like it, but said: 'Well, just seed it up,’ just to please him, and now Dm glad I did, for I like everything in the line so well that when I send the children to the store they know I want MARCO.” When Harry and I reached home we found that there’s a MARCO store here but our grocer doesn't have the MARCO store, so I changed my account over to the MARCO grocer for the goods are just fine, and then instead of advertising in the magazines, they pack a profit-sharing receipt with each article. Isn’t that a fine way to advertize —especially when the qualities arc superior? I've already enough receipts for a Bissel carpet sweeper, and now I'm going to save up and get a cedar chest 1c keep my furs in. I used to thing any goods which carried premiums were not good, and had anybody told me about the MARCO plan of advertising before tasted the goods at Mrs. McHenry’s, I would have been prejudiced, with out a doubt, which only shows what I have missed. I believe most of us let our prejudices stand In our own light. , never stopped to think, before, wh:n I bought a cake of Ivory Soap o package of Uneeda Biscuits that i was helping to pay for the advertise , ments which I saw in the expensive magazines, but when Mrs McHer ' explained it all, it was s simple that I said; "Me for MARCO from no. on.” I started in to tell you about the family, and became so interested > MARCO that I just forgot, so I’m going to let this be a MARCO lettcand write you again next week, If there’s a MARCO grocery in yo u town, just take my word for it and give MARCO goods a trial. Lovingly. ELEANOR. P. S. Since writing this letter I have found that the STAR GROCERY has the MARCO store at DECATUR.
