"Trade Marked and Advertised Goods" you read the magazines and newspapers you are familiar with "trade marked" advertised articles. Come to us for such goods. We handle such articles - because we find that goods which justify repeat or­ ders must necessarily be trade marked as a protec­ tion against imitations and unfair competition. The manufacturer's advertising is an insurance bond of quality. It protects you against undependable wares. In the drug line, more than any other, people de­ mand a "quality guarantee.*' Therefore, we make a practice of selling trade marked advertised goods and to the manufacturer's guarantee we add ours. You will find in stock all worthy drug store goods as. soon as they are on the market :: :: N. H.

Why H* Vot.d Dry "The other day a man who has lived in this town a long time, and has employment here, came to me to bor­ row $3," said a leading business'-man in an Illinois town. "It was pay night. I asked him why. He said that when he went to the saloon, where he fre­ quently spends too much of his hard- earned wages, he was told that he owed $1.50 more than the amount of the check he handed in to be cashed. 'I know there isn't a thing to eat in the house at home,' he told me, 'and I must 5take home some groceries.' I loaned him the money. He's, good and I have no fear that he will not repay me. I've seen too much of that sort of thing in recent years, but it was never brought home to me so strongly before how the wives and children have to bear the brunt of this drink evil. Yes, sir, I'm ;dry' from now on." OSTKND. William Thomas has just had a Hin- man milking machine installed. Mrs. Frank Kaiser and children at­ tended Easter services at McHenry Sunday. Raking lawns and burning rubbish seem to be the order of the day at present. Will Morris of Crystal Lake was the guest of Henry Hobart Tuesday night of last week. Chris. Kaiser *of Woodstock was a recent guest of bis uncle, Frank Kais- er^ of Ostend. Harry Silliman of Woodstock was the guest of his sister, Mrs. Eva Eppel, one day last week. Ernest .Brott-bas changed his board­ ing place. He is now with Carl Mead and hauls niilk for eight farmers. Mr. Rawson of Greenwood was arpund trying to find mo^e purchasers for the Hinman milking machine. Delos James was over from the coun- seat Thui*sday of last week and brought Henry Hobart a farm hand. Two fires have been started in the fields recently, one by a careless smok­ er dropping the stub of a cigarette and the other last Saturday, cause un­ known. Warren Francisco wpnt tq his field to get a couple of shocks of co,rfl that had been left standing out and discovered a fir?, which was runniqg toward some hay stacks qf H. H>oh- ^rdson. He h^d a telephone message sent to Mr. Richardson, who came im­ mediately* Warren and his man and H- ohurt's man managed to get it under control, saving the hay. Any- •hm enough to drop a cigar or JOHNSHDBGB. Quite a few from this place drove to Ringwood to cast their ballot on Tues­ day. His many friends here were sorry to learn of the fatal accident at McHenry last Saturday, for which Jacob Schaefer of this place is. responsible. Jake feels very badly over the alTair and he has the sympathy of his friends here. John A. Bugner, a former Johns- burgh boy, but who during the past few years has been farming it near Alvado, O., writes that they are en­ joying a nice spring, altho the nights generally bring a freeze, which makes it bad for wheat and young clover. He further writes that some of the farmers are already thru with their spring plowing for corn, altho thus far no oats have been sown. Further he adds that the winter had been fine, with plenty of sleighing, and concludes by saying that the markets are quite dull and that on occount of the foot ittul mouth disease they are still prohibited from shipping live stock out of the state. A little excitement was created in the home of Dr. Arnold Mueller here about nine o'clock last Saturday even­ ing, when a young lady from Ofconomo- woc called for her younger sister, who has been staying at the Mueller home during the past two weeks. It seems that the girls in question lived neigh­ bors to Dr. Mueller while the latter was a resident of the Wisconsin city and when the younger of the two ar­ rived »t his home about two weeks ago he naturally thought that she had come for a little visit and nothing more was thought of it until last Saturday night, when the older sister arrived and informed the doctor that her sister had run away from her home in the Wisconsin city two weeks ago and that the family had been searching for her ever since. Dr. Mueller was dumb­ founded upon hearing the young lady's story, but soon induced the run-away girl to return to her home in Wincon sin. Ths Knights of the Black Hand in­ vaded the home of James T. Perkina last Saturday night, upsetting every­ thing in general. China and silverware was hauled out of the cupboard, ^resser drawers were ransacked a,nd furniture badly misplaced. Fortunately nothing of v^lue Was missing; but it would be a wise plan fpr the village officers to locate the hes^uarters oj this band of dangerous meg.
