POTATO MATINEE Manager Soluis of Hmprtvu Plea Kiddies by Admitting Thera for One Spud iiuh The Empress theatre was filled al most to capacity Saturday afternoon at the matinee given by Manager Sohns for the benefit of the children. Each one that attended was very par ticular that he brought a large elean potato and collectively the bunch would almost have been a prise win aer at a vegetable show. A prixe of fifty cents was offered to the one bringing the largest spud, and the honors went to Usther Bacon, who brought one weighing two and one-half pounds. There were sever al close seconds weighing two pounds and better, the nearest one tipping the scales at two pounds and five ounces. At the close of the perform ance, every boy and every gtrl in the house endorsed Mr. Sohns and the Empress theatre in the most enthus iastic manner. There will be a slight deviation ext Saturday afternoon tbe child ren will bring apples instead of po tatoes. The children are already spying out the largest apples in town, and they're going to see next Saturday's "apple matinee."

Johns, Hilda, Ohio, relates her experience as follows: "My little boy Is subject to croup. During the past winter I kept a bottle of Chamberlain a Cough Kemedy In the house, and when he began having that croupy cough I would give him one or two doses of It and it would break the attack. 1 like It better for children than any other cough medicine because child ren take it willingly, and it Is safe and reliable."

Firestone of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Com pany was asked concerning the new additions to the big plant at Akron, Ohio, he replied, "Our growth, no doubt, seems remarkable but more than any other force our rigid insist ence on 'quality first' in everything conected with the manufacture of our tires is responsible for our vast vol ume of business. "We make the very best tire we know how. The best brains, the fin est materials, the most painstaking efforts and the utmost care are used in producing Flrestones. The one Idea of Quality is uppermost both in the factory and In the many places that offer Firestone service. "Naturally, the public Is a factor In our increase, for motorists use Flrestones and realize that quality is their foremost feature. The result is more orders and the factory grows that it may keep up with this demand a logical outcome, and one of which we are Justly proud, for our plant Is the world's largest tire con cern. Quality in production Is ex cellent but when quality goes hand In hand with quantity, there is your ideal combination. We feel very much gratified In feeling that we are In possession of that combination." 1 Iowa re tt Cheap Substitute In these days of keen competition It in Important that the public should Bee that they get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and not take substi tutes sold for the sake of extra profit. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has stood the test and been approved for more than forty years. Obtainable everywhere. CAN'T SELL FROM GARS New Killing from Interstate Com niorce Commission Places Han on TraiiMclent Distributors A new law of the Interstate com merce commission which went into effect October 25, is to tbe effect that no person can sell produce from cars stationed on the tracks at any point ln the state. It Is now compulsory that the produce be unloaded and sold either from wagons or from storage places. While this possibly works a hard ship on some of the local farmers who sold potatoes in eastern markets from the car, at the same time there are arguments on both sides. Busi ness men who pay heavy rents, clerk hire and overhead expenses, and of ten sell at a loss, should have some material consideration ln the way of protection irom non-resident dealers, who, like .the mall order dealers, sell their product to local people without paying any taxes or other expenses that the local man Is subjected to, and then leave town with all the money. Several cars of apples and pears were on the track here last month, Heart Disease Almost Fatal to Young Girl "My daughter. when thirteen years oM, was stricken with heart trouble. She was to bad we had to place her bed sear a window o aha oould get her breath. One doctor said. 'Poor child, she U likely to tall dead any time.' A friend told me Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy had cured her father, ao I tried it. and he brf an to Ira prove. She took a great many bot tles, but ah is pared to me to- . day. a fat roey cheeked gtrl. No one can imagine the confidence I have in Dr. Mi lee' Heart Remedy." A. U. CANON, Worth, Mo. The unbounded confidence Mr. Canon ha in Dr. Miles' Heart Rem edy is chared by thousands of others who know Its value front experience. Many heart disorders yield to treatment, if the treatment is right If you ate bothered with short breath, fainting spells, swell ing of feet or ank!s, pains about the heart and shoulder blades, pal pitation, weak and hungry spells, you should begin using Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy at once. Profit by the experience of others while you may. 4 Dr. Mllee' Heart Remedy la sold and guaranteed by all drugglata. MILES MKOICAU CO., Elkhart, lad. CpImp and the owners having grown them on their farms in the eastern part of he state, they were able to bring hem here and sell them considera bly lower than the local merchant. Some of these cars remained here until the latter part of the month, but the owners all knew that the new ruling would go Into effect on the 25th, and they spared little In dis posing of their stocks before that time.

Sugar Factory for tiering Work was started last week on the new sugar factory, built by the Oreat Western Company, at Gerlng, the factory being located on the tract north of Thornton's addition. The new structure is to be the most mod ern factory so far built by the Great Western. The buildings will face south, the main building being about 64x300 feet and three tsorles high.

Distress ln the Stomach There are many people who have a distress in the stomach after meals. It is due to Indigestion and easily remedied by taking one of Chamber lain's Tablets after meals. Mrs. Hen ry Padghan, Victor, N. Y., writes: "For some time I was troubled with headache and distress ln my stomach after eating, also with constipation. About six months ago I began taking Chamberlain s Tablets. They regu lated the action of my bowels and the headache and other annoyances censed ln a short time." Obtainable everywhere. ScotUtbluff Want Flairman Over at Scottsbluff the city council has started proceedings to Induce tbe Burlington to station a flagman at the main street crossing.

HOLDING SUSPECTS Fred Moore and Joseph Hochrein Ar rented Short Time Ago for Car rying Concealed Weajwns Fred Moore and Joseph Hochrein. who were arrested some time ago by Sheriff Cox on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, are still languish ing In the county JalL Moor car ried the gun and Hochrein had the handcuffs, and while It will be neces sary to free the latter unless it is found that he is wanted in some oth er place, the charge against Moore is sufficient to hold him "for all time to come", and he will probably find his way into the district court room during the next session. It was at first thought that these men might be connected with the re cent murder at Omaha when a man was killed in a dark side street as he was accompanying home a lady friend. The murderer shot the man and threatened to assault the young woman, who pleaded with him until he released her. The murderer's name is Art Hauser, ind immediately after the crime was committed iden tification circulars were sent over the entire United States. Sheriff Cox received one of these, and held Moore and Hochrein, the first of this pair resembling closely the Omaha murderer. Another and clearer photograph of Hauser was received later and it was then found that there was no striking resemblance between the two men. However, the fact that the men carried a gun and handcuffs was sufficient to arouse Sheriff Cox's suspicions, and he held them. Word was sent to the police departments of various surrounding towns asking if these men were want ed. Photos were also enclosed. Sev eral of the towns have been heard from, but none report that these men have been there and that they are not wanted for any crime. Hochrein may be released shortly, but not until after it is conclusively found tnat he is guilty of no crime nor misdemeanor in this section of the country, or any other section for that matter.
