An ice cream and strawberry festival was held at the M. E. parsonage last Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Junior Epworth League. Although the coolness of the weather did not tend to sharpen a person’s appetite for the kind of viands served, yet the festival was well patronized under the circumstances, the receipts being over twenty dollars. The young ladies of the Epworth League made an agreement to earn 25 cents for the League by doing some kind of work, and at the next meeting they are to report, each tilling how she earned the money. In accordance with this arrangement Misses Bessie Shoemaker, Pearl Noble and Rose Millard struck Postmaster Nicoles for a job of scrubbing out the postofliee and cleaning the windows, last Wednesday. The postmaster offered them 50 cents if they would do a good job and they accepted the proposition. They were on hand bright and early the following morning and went to work with a will, succeeding in making the postotlke look as neat and clean as a pin. The residence of Charles S.

At the sound of the alarm the little fire engine, which was recently repaired, was disturbed from its long slumber and pressed into service. But the fire had gained too much headway by the time the engine was in operation to save the house. But bykeeping the hose playing on the fire the heat was materially kept down, thus helping to save adjoining property. The household goods were about all rescued from the fire, but many of them were considerably damaged in the operation. 1 here was an insurI anee of SSOO on the house and S3OO on Canning Factory Meeting. The meeting for discussing the question of locating a canning factory in Walkerton, which was to have been held Thursday evening, has been postponed until next Tuesday evening.

Mroum-stances-advertising or otu^X— Rn d kick continually. Refuse to enter any combination that will be a benefit to any one but yourself. Always speak ill of your competitor iu business; kick at the merchants, school teachers, doctors, newspapers, towu board, aud everything else. Always buy of peddlars, if possible, and give your home merchants the goby. Speak of your own town as the most immoral town on earth, aud say a bad word for it every chance you can get. If a stranger comes to town, tell him that everything is overdone, and that the town is no good ou general principles. This will be a good drawing card to new business and industries. Stop your home paper, ask vour friends to do the same, and insist that they take the Bungtowu Blister, or the Kansas City Sunday Sun. This will give your home paper a great boom, and assist the editor materially, which you must avoid above everything else. If you are iu business don’t advertise. Buy a rubber stamp and use I that. It may save you a few dimes, I and look so much nicer than if printed by au artist. Kick because you audj your friends are not permitted to ruu'jthe town, and if you do run it, ki»[ t anyhow.— Kansas Chief. f

THE NATION’S DEFENDERS. Memorial Day Duly Honored with a Fine Program of Exercises. Memorial Day, the day set apart by the nation to pay reverence to the memory of the soldier dead, was observed in Walkerton with an interesting program of exercises. The day was cold and not a very inviting one for the exercises or for the people to turn out, but notwithstanding the weather there was a large crowd in attendance from the surrounding country and adjoining towns. The town, of course, was nicely decorated, the red, white and blue being conspicuous on the business houses and residences. At 1 o’clock, p. m., the line of march formed on Avenue F., in the following order: Cornet band, Jesse Coppock Post, W. R. C. and I. O. O. F., under the direction of Commander H. A. Adel, field officer of the day, and staff, with Past Commander Leibole in commtmd Os Post. Thu procession moved to the M. K. church where the speakii>K and other exoroises were held, as follows: Prayer by the Post Chaplain, song by Memorial Double Quartette, reading of roll of honor by the Adjutant, music by the Cornet band, song by Quartette, after which followed the address by Col. C. B. Gillette. The colonel spoke for about an hour, giving an eloquent, able and impressive address, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience. After the close of the exercises at the church the procession formed iu line and marched to the cemetery, where the remainder of the program was carried out as follows: Decoration of graves, assembly, benediction by Rev. Snyder. PICKED UP. No man can buy the sunshine. Love is a spontaneous combustion. The towu cow is the original lawnmower. When man is “taken in" he is usually “put out.” Marriage is the legitimate basis of a genuine home. Other men's sins are before our eyes; our ow n behind our back. No difference where a man goes he finds thing* that he does not like. Many a man does not know what be is talking about until long after he ba* said it. Doctors now Jays think the only di aeaae that can’t be cured by a kuifo is love sickness. Nature has wisely arranged mutters so that a man can neither pat his own back or kick himself. It js hard lines to win a woman with bonbons for a y« ar arid feed her ou brea 1 and butter fra lifetime. When it is announced that a man in I tends to join the church, the women j have away of saying, “Well, it’s about i time. ” There are two reasons why some . people don’t mind their own business. One is that they haven’t any mind; the other, that they haven’t any business. Awarded Highest Honors—World’s Fair. •DIV BAKING POWIR MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.
