Mail in Cornfield. Two bushels of firet-claea mail, most of which had been opened, has been uncovered by David Holmes and other hunters on the Holmes farm near Wakarusa. The opened letters were all posted ’in Michigan towns and were destined to eastern points. Money orders, checks and other valuable articles were left in the letters, the thief apparently only extracting the money. The master has been referred to the post offioe department and an inspector will be sent to Wakarusa in hope of unraveling the mystery as to how the mail was transferred to this point.

RULES FOR CHRISTMAS GIVING Give willingly. Give tactfully. Put thought Into your giving. Don’t consider return gifts. Never give to others what yoA wouldn’t want yourself. The unexpected gift insures a special appreciation. To give ostentatiously is the height of bad taste. Give to the sick and the sorrowful if you would know the true joy of giving. Never give more than you can afford. Your friends know your circumstances as well as you do yourself and the pleasure of both giving and receiving is lost A Question in Finance. “Are you good at arithmetic, my dear?” asked Mr. Perkasie of his wife. “I was accounted the very best arithmetician at school,” replied Mrs. Perkasie, with a touch of pride in her voice. ’T have a problem for you.” "State it" “How can I buy |SO worth of Christmas presents with |lO in cash and no eredltr Optical Goods at Veirs.

Every One May Know the Delights of a Perfect Range Be "Stay "Range ’ The MONARCH ■ PAYS for ITSELF ' EVERY woman would LIKE to have a perfect range—one that would turn out beautifully browned loaves of ‘ bread, cakes and pies, baked just as much on-one side as another.

It’s NOT true economy to keep on using that old \ range or cook stove—nor to bay ti cofnmon steel range be- • << cause it costs a little less than a Monarch. ■ Buy a MONARCH Malleable Range and It Will Pay Bacl It's Own Cost By the use of anbreakable Malleable Iron, in place of the brit ie cast iron found ii. theordnary type of “steel range,” the MONARCH is built with e3 -ry seam practically air tight. The leakage of air that causes excessive fuel waste is thus do e a,way with so tha the Monarch will require but little more than half the fuel needed by a range of the common sort; With fuel bills ciit in two it’s easy to see Monarch ‘‘P ys for Itself. ’ ’ It does better work too—always. WE CAN PROVE THESE THINGS TO YOU: Let Us show you how the Monarch is built—rivited ?
