A Penny Saved Sounds small, you say? But is it small? Ask the woman who buys the groceries for the family. i We are holding our great list of pat-rons—-and increasing them—because we save them the pennies—a penny here, another one there, and so on down the long list of articles sold in a grocery store. By the end of the year this accumulation of pennies saved one at a time has doubled and trebled and multiplied until it has reached a sum in dollars of surprising proportions. It pays to trade with us—you save the pennies. G. E. MURRAY CO. RENSSELAER, INDIANA

The speakers all-acquitted themselves splendidly, but the genuine surprise of all was the address by Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter. Her talk was more than a mere response to a toast, it was an appeal for women, so strongly made, so continuous in thought, so full of oratory, wit and patriotism, that she carried the vast audience by storm, and was given a great ovation. It is seldom that a great writer is also a good speaker. Mrs. McCarter is more than a speaker, she is a true orator. She is the equal if not the'peer of any man ih Kansas today as an orator. —Sedgwick Pantagraph. Editors’ banquet.)
