Another business changed hands this week wheri Bruce Beagley purchased the wholesale candy business of Charles Berlin.

Wilson met with an auto accident last Thursday evening that was entirely unavoidable. He was going south on the road leading south from Highway street when the spindle on one of the front wheels broke, letting the car frame strike the ground. The car turned completely over, smashing the windshield and wrenching the sedan body of the car. Fortunately he was driving only about 15 miles an hour or the wreck would have been much worse. Mr. Wilson was slightly injured.

THE twice-a-week democrat

JACKSON TP., NEWTON COUNTY

It is reported here that the big Catholic school building at St. Anne, 111, was destroyed by fire the other day. And, then, too, our Molke should not be overlooked. Whv not give Moike the job; of park Inspector at Jerusalem? Corn husking, never an easy job, is made doubly hard this year by the stalks being down and badly twisted. Sixty to 70 bushels Is a fair day’s work, under present conditions, even for a good busker. Since the election the writer has heard numerous favorable comments on the strong, able fight put up by the Rensselaer Democrat during the campaign. The Democrat has nothing to regret for its conduct in the campaign—It made a good fight, although a losing one. We suggest that a bureau be established at Washington to promote good feeling between the Republican party and our alien enemies, with Bill Hearst in charge. In this capacity Bill would shine like the headlight on a freight train negotiating a 20 per cent grade. Local weather prophets predict a mild open winter and prove their contention —at least to their own satisfaction —by pointing to the presence of the wild goose, the brant and the sandhill crane in our midst. Many other mild weather signs, these prophets say, are present. Now watch Ireland get her freedom, Germany, the nation that drowned American women and babies, get a separate and easy peace, while the Republican farmer, who couldn’t stand $2 corn and 20-cent hogs, demonstrates the beauty of ♦O-cent corn and eight-cent hogs. We are unable to recall an election where victory occasioned so little joy, seemingly, to the winning party, as was true of the election Just held. Possibly, after the excitement Incident to a political campaign, It occurred to many Republicans —especially Republican farmers—that this turning down of the present good times and going back to “normalcy” was al mistake, in spite of what their party spellbinders told them. »

We dearly love to clasp hands with a game political sport, the man who, having lost, wears the same old smile and looks forward hopefully to the next time. Since the election we have heard not a growl nor a howl from a solitary Democrat, and we have talked with quite a number —all were taking their “medicine” like men. And how different their conduct from the days and weeks of Republican belly-ach-ing after the election four years ago —when disappointed Republicans wept, "raved and tore their hair, and then, for a change, did it all over again. We recall that a Republican newspaper in Chicago even went to the length of suggesting a boycott against California, as a winter resort, because that state exercised its God-given right and went Democratic. No, dear Imogene, if you are looking for a game Republican sport better give It up. There hain’t no sich animal. If a miracle could be performed and a sane method evolved by which the producer and the consumer could be brought face to face, commercially speaking, want and strife would disappear from the land and peace and plenty reign everywhere. Women and babies freeze by reason of the high cost of fuel, while thousands upon thousands of cords of wood each year rot in our forests; fruit and vegetables by the carload

go to waste each season simply because the farmer hasn’t time to bother with such things. Many farmers would gladly give their surplus fruit and down timber to the poor, but, here’s the rub—here’s where tae miracle is required—how are the city’s needy and the busy farmer to get together? And, while the reader is figuring this matter out, the fact should not be overlooked that the middleman is still horning into both consumer and producer, just as • his fathers did clear back to the dark ages.

It has been our observation that nature, if left to follow her own bent, never makes a miscue. Ex- ] lain yourself, you say? Well, now, see here: Whisky has departed from our midst, so has ague. Now what would a man do with ague and no whisky? Huh? We repeat it, what would he do? Can’t we recall the time when every dad-burn bullrush pond in this fair land vomited ague germs six months in the year apd when a lantern-Jawed arid saffronhued * proletariat did nothing but shake for the drinks from the middle of July to the- second frost? But with whisky fleeing before the mob, so to speak, and forced to seek shelter In the subterranean apartments of the lowly millionaire, ague went out of business; for, without whisky, why shou.d a man want to fool away his time having the ague? See, now? When there was ague there was whisky and vice- verci, the two were Inseparable companions, and, finally, when ague sought a more congenial clime, whisky Just naturally gave up the fight, We hope we make ourself clear in this matter.

Ever go into a store and have clerk dog your footsteps back and forth and around and around, working off pale inanities, apropos of nothing, until you were 'driven temporarily insane and began to gnaw op things* and to gibber like a poorhouse idiot? While you may have gone into the store mainly Just to look around, it is quite likely you would have bought something before you left, had you been let alone and not- driven bughouse by the importunities of the zealous but misguided clerk. Will the American salesman never learn that the average customer desires nothing more than life, liberty and the right to buy a pound of prunes or a length of gut sausage on a man to man basis, that he expects only decent treatment, doesn’t want to be patted, hugged, kissed and otherwise manhandled by an officious clerk, in the Interest of trade? You never saw a farmer climb the counter and kiss the clerk who sold him a calf muzzle, then why should the clerk be expected to kiss the farmer who bought the muzzle? The benefits were mutual, why not let it go at that? We have in mind right now a store that has not been illuminated by the effulgence of our presence for a-year or .more because of a habit on the part of one of the clerks of asking fool questions.

Poor fellow, evidently he wanted to be kind and agreeable—probably imagined we would accept his loquaciousness as a mark of the high esteem In which we were held in that particular emporium. We now do the bulk of our trading at a store where the proprietor smokes a rank cob pipe and drinks a homebrew of the most hellish composition —but he doesn’t drape himself on our neck when we go into hi# store and he never asks unnecessary questlonfl. Some day we are going to write a book for the guidance of American salesmen. In this volume we shall endeavor to give a full and vitriolic expose of the pain and humiliation occasioned each year by the American salesman In his dealing with the trade. We , shall strive to show this wart on the body politic that the public is not supposed to resign its right to the protection of the law and the pursuit of happiness every tlhie it becomes a prospective purchaser. In other words, that this footpad—Uriah Heep method of _ dealing with the public is'4ll wrong. That it Is not necessary to commit friendly mayhem on a customer in order to hold his patronage, that the demands of business doesn’t require a salesman to half-Nelson Bill Jones, knock his hat off and short-arm him around the stove a time or two in order to establish a friendly feeling between Bill Jones and that particular place of business, and because —well, because this manhandling nonsense has long. been an established custom. Our book will also contain a scathing arraignment of the girl clerk, who, while waiting on a customer, wears a dreamy, far-away look and hums to herself in a chocolate-drop voice —"Wouldn’t you like to kiss me, wouldn’t you like to um-um-um?” and snatches of other productions by

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be Incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken Internally and acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One Hundred Dollars reward is offered for any case that Hall’s Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. F. J. CHENEY & CO., . Toledo, Ohio. •feold by Druggists, 75c.
