Did You Ever Stop to Think-- trhjr your morning "cup" tastes so much better sometimes than others --even when made from the same coffee? Is the cook to blame when the cup is "off" in "flavor," "body" and "fragrance?" The answer is this--not all "brands" of coffee are properly blended. If not made just so--if they boil a moment too long, Bingo! they're "punk." Now I am selling a coffee that is always a "sweet drinker*' no matter how you iu ;i CHI it sto"oi'g . V. - y + - , S P E C I A L B L E N D C O F F E R i It's different from other coffees because of what coffee experts oall 2 the "balanced blend." Most coffees you buy are blended, but not balanced as my blend is. No matter who makes it or by what method it always produces the same sweet, fragrant, satisfying cup. * It must be tried to be appreciated. It's worth more, but I ask, per lb., only 45c. . . . ...

THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford car can well be called the "peoples -car," because there are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. That is about four . to one of the nearest follower in the motor car industry.

Big Double Circus Coming This Way This locality has entertained many circuses, but never anything to compare with the gigantic double shows billed as Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined, which will exhibit afternoon and night at Grant park in Chicago eleven days, Thurs day, Aug. 12, to Sunday, Aug. 22. The merging of these mammoth institutions in one circus of colossal size constitutes the amusement surprise of the oentury. Nothing to approach this gigantic, nei| circus has ever before toured America. It has been formed by merging the pick and the cream of all that was bigg^-t and best in the two famous shows. It woulcf be folly to attempt to enumerate its many Wonders. Some idea of the enormous scale upon which features are presented may be had when it is stated that a quarter of a million pounds of elephants take part in a single act. In other words, six times as many of the big eared giants than have ever before been seen in one main tent exhibition. All else to be seen is in proportion. The arenic stars embrace all the world's foremost circus performers. There are three hours of novelties and big sensational acts. The menagerie is far and away the most colossal ever traveled. For instance, a herd of eight giraffes are exhibited in place of the two or three shown in the past. The great tournament which opens the main tent program is the most magnificent thing in pagentry yet produced in America. Hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeously costumed characters and beautiful horses take part in it. The morning street parade is the longest and most brilliant ever given anywhere and offers something entirely new and novel in processional display. It is a stupendous double circus that baffles description. " A Public Servant By H. F. Cv The major benefit which all subscribers to a public utility system derive acrues from the fact that a utility is a public institution, regulated both as to its earning capacity and the quality of service it must render and altho the Chicago Telephone company >is a commercial undertaking yet it is a public servant and as such all its was home the latter part of last week, tions must ^ equitably fulfilled. Miss Ella Moore attended an R. N. A. meeting at Wauponda on Tuesday evening. A number from Wattconda attended the social at John Meyers' on Friday, July 30. Lloyd Benwell is one ofrour U. S. mail earners while Mr. Stoffel takes his vacation. Mrs. Geo. Benwell Was a Round i and Fort Hill caller on Friday of last week. Quite a number of our people attended the Walter L. Main circus at McHenry Monday. Mrs. S. Russell and daughter, Esther, were Waukegan visitors on Thursday of last week. OSTEND Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes at Erickson's. ' The Telephone company aims to render efficient service to its subscribers and in like manner must discharge its obligation to those who render the service and uphold the business as well as pay the increased market price of material to maintain the plant. An adjustment of rptes is as much an obligation in the interests of subscribers as is efficient service to be rendered on the part of the utility. ADDITIONAL PERSONAL Miss K.
