They were married at Sioux City, Iowa, cr> June 26, 1916, were then and are now resi dents of this country. She alleges that he has been unfaithful and has been cruel and inhuman in his treat ment. She further alleges that she had $721.00 at the time of their mar riage, lyhich she gave to her husband. He had between $400 and $500. They now own property worth about $2, 700. She asks for a return of the money she gave him at the time of their marriage, and absolute divorce and reasonable alimony. “Shall I advertise with space or locals?” asks a business man of an old established newspaper. The editor answered: “If you are going to ad vertise a shoat for sale, a few lines of local are enough. If you have a $5,000 or $10,000 stock of goods, a few lines will not convey the im pression to the people that you want conveyed. ‘Greatest stock of goods at Smith's” would lead the reader to ask why Smith did not take an ad more in proportion to his stock. Take space to corresponnd with the business you conduct and you will create an hnpression on the public that will be a lasting benefit. , It has been truthfully said that the effect of a good advertisement never dies.” J. P. Gallagher returned last Satur day evening from a six weeks vaca tion, which he spend in Colorado and Wyoming. While away he put in several weeks trout fishing in the waters of both Colorado and Wyom ing and says he had a delightful time, as the trout were striking splendidly while he was fishing. He seen several foHner O’Neill resident in Wyoming and says that they are all prospering. In Wyoming he says all the people are oil crazy and that is about all the people talk about in that section. He says that many men have made for tunes in the past year and that their success has created a’ craze in oil stock buying and that every man, no matter how humble or how small a wage he draws, invests at least put of it in mining stock. The fever is in the blood there. This was Mr. Gal lagher’s first vacation for several years and he says that he thoroughly enjoyed himself every moment of his absence. Creamery Company Re-Organize. At a meeting held in this city Wed nesday morning the McGinnis Cream ery Company was reorganized and the capital stock was increased to $100, 000.00. The former capital stock of the company was $60,000. The new stock was taken by A. S. Hanford, Jr., and J. W. Strunck, of Sioux City, la., the balance of the stock being owned by Mr. McGinnis and a few local men. The following officers of the Mc Ginnis Creamery Company were elected: R. W. McGinnis, president; J. W. Strunck, vice-president; J. A. Donohoe, secretary; Ed. F. Gallagher, treasurer; C. W. Crocker, cashier. The following constitute the board of di rectors: R. W. McGinnis, J. A. Dono hoe, E. F. Gallagher, J. W. Strunck and A. S. Hanford, Jr. The officers of the company intend to enlarge the plant and will make the local creamery the largest in the state outside of the large cities. The new capital that has been invested in the company will be used largely in en larging the plant and preparing for the increased business that they ex pect to secure. Mr. Hanford and Mr. Strunck, the new members of the company from Sioux City, are members of the Han ford Produce Company of that city and their investment in the local plant menas that they consider this an ideal point to build up a large creamery and they will devote their talent to that end.
