Money to Loan!
A demand for money in the Eastern
markets has caused a number of farm
loan companies to raise their rates or
to withdraw entirely from this terri-
tory. Our companies are still in the field
and we are making1 loans at the old
rate of 8 per cent.
If you need a loan on your farm or
city property we will be pleased to
have you make us a call.

It Ib not too late to provldo a fair

Pour veterans of the lato war

were defeated You may say
that the Democratic Primary
wasn't our party' but we're go-
Intf to horn in just the same.
Durinp; tho war we aro told tho
common expression was "thoro
will bo nothing too good for you
when you come baclr boys" but
it seems to have changed now to
"anything is good enough for
you. Wo don't believo the boys
were ashing for tho offices as a
reward for their sorvlcos and are
not going to say that thoy should
have been given them regardless
of their qualifications but in ono
or two cases none will deny that
tho ex-service men wero as well
qualified for tho offices they
sought as wero their opponents
and a just appreciation of their
sacrifices would havo resulted In
their nomination. The methods
resorted to on tho part of one of
of tho opponents of an ex-servlec
man wero a sad commentary on
his loyalty to one who offered his
liio to protect the freedom and
homo of this tf ame opponent and
indicts equally as strongly tko
appreciation of the democratic
voters who nominated him.

You may learn something from
tho following by W. H. Ireland a
traveling salesman of Louisville
Ky. "In tho summer of 1888 I
bad a severo attack of cholera morb-

cents and told him to buy mo a bot-

rnoett ueiueuy uuu to iiuio iiu ouu-

according to the directions and
went to sleep. At five o'clock the
next morning 1 was called by my or-
der and took a train for icy next
