Subscription Price 1 .50 Fcr Year COMING TOO THICK The editor of this sheet is in a fair way to be cither totally exterminated or socially ostracized. Two events have occurred in the past week which were unusual and almost terrifying The first, and most severe one was when Harry McQuigg insisted that we turn the big valve which opens the gaB well to see it We got away live, but it was the noisiest task we have even tackled, and the fellows have made life interesting with their comments. Then Manager Tucker of the Tucker Theatre pulled one which may yet result in our having to leave our happy homer for parts unknown. Friday evening we dropped in to get a few minutes rest and see "Rostand the Wizard" perform his mysterious feats. A committee was needed and as.

response were slow, Tucker suggested that we go forward. Think ing that nil which would be required' would be to sec the show from the front riw, marched down and took our reat. Then imagine our consternation when Mr. Rostand re-'l quested us, with several others, to sit' upon "the staple nnd face that audi- ence. It took qiore nerve than wo' supposed we had, but rc went, and lived through it I But the worst was yet to come.

We are supposed to know all about, the feats Rostand pulled, and have even been accused some nine hundred and n'nety-nie times of beint con-fede'-pte. At first we denied' it and no one believed us, so we admitted it, nnd now the folks won't believe that. Since we are utterly unable to explain how the things were done we are supposed to be crooked and not a law-abiding citizen, and our Money to Loan on Farms Inspection every 'Monday Loans closed at I once See us for terms I Riney Newby I Rank Building i SPECIAL I I NOTICE! I I have concluded to employ my time from this date until February 25tli in an elVort to assist all who desire to exchange, land, city property, horses, cattle', farming equipment, business property, etc. I have set the dale limit early because I realize in most cas.es it is desirable to make an exchange before the first of March. I trust all may list their property 1 as soon after they read this notice, as possible, so that plenty of time will be.

left in which to match up the trades. I don't wrnt to list anything that requires much, if any. cash difference. I want to help those who are will- ing to trade principally for convenience sake. Also, I feel that it would be a useless expenditure of effort.

to try to exchange anything carrying a heavy mortgage now due or. nearly due. I want to assist man who has awakened to the fact that all forms of property must he priced somewhat lower than it was a year or so ago. In other words, I aim to, be reasonable myself, by. serving only those who are 'reasonable in pricing their goods.

Furthermore, it is my purpose to be reasonable in the price of my service. I hope to gain satisfactory remun- eration for my six weeks' effort through a large amount of business, rather than by an excessive charge on each individual deal. If you desire to make a "change by the first of March and must trade in order to realize your ambition, give me a chance to help you- But DONT WAIT. Time is mighty precious fn this short trading campaign. List your property NOW! MELVINJ.
