UNCLE BOB, 93, LOOKS FOR HIS mHTH WIFE

ztn-i'sc,'

exactly 297 different women who expressed a willingness to marry "Uncle Bob." Many sent their photograph®, and the old man had a hard time malting,.^ selection.,. They rfwi^ed in age fforh sweet sixteen to ripe maturity and over, and were of indiscriminate types of feminine loveliness. "Uncle Bob" finally got a hunch that Miss De Witt was the one woman in the world for him.

A correspondence with Miss DeWitt was immediately begun. When she sent her picture "Uncle Bob" was more than ever convinced that he was justified in his selection. It being then late in the year it was determined to have a Christmas marriage. "Uncle Bob" was as delighted at the prospect as a schoolboy with a big apple. This was the first Of his several matrimonial ventures that was launched during the holiday season, and he expected much happiness to result by reason thereof. Following the wedding at Dalton, "Uncle Bob" took his bride in an automobile to his farm near Tilton.

Their matrimonial venture was still in the honeymoon stage when the hoot of the owls in the trees at night began to prey upon the nerves of Mrs. Knox. She also disliked other nocturnal sound? indigenous to country life. The couple quarreled and Mrs. Knox went Into Dalton and consulted a lawyer. Simultaneously she consulted a time table, and the next train to the north found her on her way back to Lima, O. After a decent interval "Uncle Bob" filed suit for divorce on his own account.

Cupid's Willing Emissary. It was the story of "Uncle Bob's" previous matrimonial ventures that brought him so many love letters. That story told how he had been divorced from his sixth wife how he was a soldier and poet and cupld's willing emissary, and how he was now seeking to attach himself to his seventh helpmate. The announcement that he would marry again was made in open court when his divorce from h'.s sixth wife v/as' granted. "Not that I'm in a hurry," he explained to the court. "I'm groing to let the Lord direct me in making a wise choice. I have no definite pros* pect at present, but then, I'm only ninety-two years old, and hence have plenty of time."

Merchants Stjy That Special Shopping Day Has Steadily Grown in Popularity.

^With the ljegjinnln$. of a new wgeje. fe&FchiliitS were contemplating even greater business successes for the next appearance of Suburban day, Wednesday. During the past three months the popularity of the day has steadily increased. At first, when the plan was advanced, the public did not seem to grasp the opportunities the day offered to them for reasonable trading. Now it is quite different, the merchants say. Several of the biggest stores in the city say it is the most successful day in the week and that their sales on that day exceed those made on any other two days in the week with the exception of Saturday.

Some novel ideas have been advanced by some of the stores acting in accord with the Suburban day movement yet still independently. One large store advertised that in lieu of a dollar day they would promote a seventy-nine cents day. It was a success, the merchant who advanced the scheme said. More people were attracted by the announcement made in the paper that the next Suburban day would be marked by special opportunities for trade at a certain store and they all came, to find out what was being offered at such a reasonable figure.

The Dollar day event was one of the best of the merchants' plans and it is thought that acting independently the merchant will devise some schemes similar to the seventy-nine cents day.

The growth of the suburban trade toward this city and the confidence which the citizens of the near-by towns are beginning to regard the merchant of this city, has not only benefited the latter but it has also worked an inestimable benefit for the city itself.

NEEDS MORE FREIGHT CARS.

A. T. Cox, formerly of Terre Haute and Vincennes, now general yard master of the Great Northern railroad, at Minot, N. D., Monday sent J. F. Kqneipp, of the Vandalia, several clippings, saying that the Great Northern would need 136,000 cars to move its share of the North Dakota crops.

talking about their contemplated action. A meeting of the council will probably be held Wednesday night at whipjt} time.:the matter .will "ce taken up.'""'

According to City Comptroller Charles Mancourt, there is no way, according to law by which the money can be raised but by special assessr ment to be made before September 1. The council members have suggested that the tax rate be left as it was last year and not cut and money be taken out of the general fund to pay for the intersections.

This course would permit the city to pay off about $65,000 a year ot the money, which would clear the city of debt in this line ih about three years, counting the interest.

It has been suggested by some of the council that that body take some decided action at their meeting either for' or against the special assessment. It has been pointed out that if the council is not in favor of the assessment they should reject it and thi3 would give the parties holding the certificates a chance to mandate them to make the assessment.

Practically all the members o* the council are ih favor of paying for the certificates, but they oppose the plan of a special assessment. In case no action is taken before the first of Septeber, there is no other way for the certificate holdeirs to get their money except by bringing suit against the city, which they claim would amount to large sums in costs and attorney fees.

"One day after he had. crjed bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try Tiim on Grape-nuts. Sh® soaked two teaspoonfuls in half a pup of warm water for 5 or 6 minutes. Ttren poured oft the liquid and to It added a like amount of rich milk and .a little sugar. This baby ate ravenously. "It was not many days before he forgot all about beig nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy iir strong and robust, and as cute a mischiefmaker as a thirteen months old baby Is expected to be. "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the brightness it has brought to our household."

Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the b^st If not entirely the best in use. Being a sceintiflc preparation of Nature's grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups. "There's a Reason."
