MR AND MRS. FRITZ ZARD HERE.

Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Zard* of near Mitchell, S- Dak., came Friday afternoon for a couple of weeks visit with relatives and friends. They had very good crops in that vicinity this season. despite the dry weather, and wheat yielded all the way from 12 to 25 bushels per acre. Fritz had 90 acres that averaged 19 bushels to the acre, and 40 acres of Mason Kenton’s averaged 25. bushels to the acre, The soi 1 there holds moisture much longer than our soil. Mr. Zard says, and with 3s little rain as they had it is surprising how good the crops were. Corn is also good there, he says. With the large number of Jasper county people now located there. Fritz says that Saturdays or the streets of Mitchell is almost like being in Rensselaer as it was a few years ago, so many former Jasper county people does one meet. .

VIRGINIA AUSTIN SHANE RAISE IN BARBER PRICES

And Two Other Chicago Ladies’ Pictures. Win Prize at Exposition. The Chicago Examiner of Sunday last contained the pictures of three Chicago ladies whose photographs won first prize for a Chicago photographer at the exhibition at Knoxville, Tenn., last week. One of the originals was Mrs. Roy M. Shane of Chicago, formerly Miss Virginia Austin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Austin formerly of Rensselaer. Concerning the awards the Examiner savs:

A Chicago photographer won the first prize at the Appalachian Exposition.'held in Knoxville, Tenn., according to a telegram from Lloyd Branson, chairman of the fine arts section. Three portrait photographs submitted by Melvin H, Sykes of the Sykes studios, Chicago, were so well considered by the judges, who included some of the best known portrait artists, of the country that the unanimous choice for the first place, carrying with it the silver medal, fell on the specimans shown by the Sykes studios. The photographs were of Mrs. Roy M. Shavne, Mi Dorothy Lindsey and Miss Lett ore Ray. Altogether more than five hundred entries competed Tor the medals in the portrait class?, which was a record breaking number, but from the .first there was little doubt but that the Chicagoan would capture the leading place. Galveston secured the bronze medal, marking the second prize, and Boston was given the third prize in the class, which carried with it a diploma. Lloyd Branson, the chairman of the fine arts section, is a well-known artist whose pictures have been exhibited in the Art Institute here on several occasions. Mr. Sykes is receiving the congratulations of Chicago friends upon his fine showing.

NOT POPULAR.

j ■’ Some of the local barbers have !admitted privately that the re'cent advance of 50 per cent in the price of shaves, has not proven the bonanza thht the trust had hoped it would be. I hey say they are not taking in much money now with shaves at 15 cents as they were before at 10 cents. And this is no doubt true, for it must be apparent to all who have given the matter any consideration that the barbers are hot nearly so busy as formerly.

ThC fact is the public does not like to be held up. no matter how small the hold-up may be, and thi" advance in prices is a hold-up jutre and simple. If 15 certts was the customary price for shaves in other towns no kick would lie made, but as The Democrat has shown such is not the case. Ten cents is the regular price, the country over, with very few exceptions, and rather than submit to the combine’s trust prices sccjre> of former patrons have purchased safety razors or have resurrected their old razor and are now doing their own shaving.-while others who used to get shaved two to four times per week have cut this in two, so that once to twice a week suffices. The net cash result for the barber can be imagined. • ,

That a 10 cent shop will soon be established here is certain. Only a few days ago a barber was here from another town looking for a suitable room in which to start a good 10 cent shop. , Whether be found- anything that suited him in location ?nd price we are not informed, but if he does not locate here >omeone else wll. and they will undoubtedly get -the_ too. . >"■■■■■
