LINES J. L. I) Most of ilit* books on etiquette d<* vote Iboir :i 11t-iitloti to weddings, Imlls. dlniiors mid funerals. I wish some body would write 11 book on the eti quette of every-day life. I would like to see the public con demn the rowdy who elbows others aside, ( lumbers into a train and drops himself down into a seat with a thud that almost bounces Ills m Ittbbor out: the thoughtless fellow who has the window seat and spreads his newspa per so as to shut off all the light. The fellow who has something to say on every subject that is brought up in a meeting of any kind. 1 should like for the fellow who stands with his month two feet from my face talking fast and loud to he in my place some time and let me see him use Ids luindkerchief for u while. Experience is wliut many of us get some times when we are looking for something else. A gentleman is a man who keeps his promises made to those who an* powerless to enforce them. The signers of the Declaration of Independence, the fathers of the Am erican Revolution, did not attain the lofty ideal which they visioned. We have approached it nearer and near er, Inti we have not yet reached it. Until every American citizen declares and wins Ids own independence from petty political motives, selfishness and indifference to the country’s welfare, we cannot in truth is* a free people. Upon the monument erected to the late Senator Hoar, who represented the state of Massachusetts in the Unit |ical people of the community. The (oil statiV* S-ynu|t<* for IwVnty-seviV years, there is graven this declara tion of ids jiolltical faith. "I believe in God, the hiving God: in the American people a free and fbruve people who do not how the neck or bend tlu* knee to any other, and who desire no other to how the neck or bend the knee to them. “I believe that liberty, good govern ment, free institutions cannot be giv en to any one people to any other, but must lie wrought out by each for it self. slowly, painfully, in tlie process of years or centuries, as the oak adds ring to ring. “I lieliere that whatever clouds may darken the horizon, the world Is grow ing better: that today Is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be bet ter than today.” Carl Granade Buried Under Tractor While breaking land on bis farm Monday afternoon, Carl Granade, a well known farmer suffered severe in juries when His tractor bucked and foil back upon him. burying him under neath its weight in the loose dirt.

Ev ery drug your druggist sells must come up to specified standards and these tests are made to insure the purity and strength of the drugs sold to the public. We recently saw the files of Cannon’s Drug Store showing that all samples submitted to the state chemist by the Inspectors met the required standard for purity and strength.
