S lOO EXPERT WATCH REPAIRING BIG SALE, DECEMBER 22, 1913 SCHEMERS ARE BUSY LOOKING FOR EASY MARK The following is taken from the Omaha Trade Exhibit, and being written by a person who knows "liow it is himself," we give it a place in the Journal for the pood it may accomplish in the direction intended: Just now tli is state is Hooded with schemers wanting to sell their dope to retail merchants, promising they can increase their business 50 to 100 per cent. Usually such promoters choose one of several kinds of mer chants; that is, one hardware, druggist, fnrniture and general store. These come across any where from the tune of 50 to -'U0 for a bit of gray matter thai the schemer has mixed and for which he holds the recipe, mak ing such merchants believe they will sell about all the goods when taking up his plan. This -same wise man goes to the manu facturer, shows him how he will grow rich, gets from 400 to 750, the manufacturer swallows bait and hook. The selected press or newspaper is taken in in the same manner. It is surprising that in this day and age, there live and travel at large, smooth individuals with oily tongues, who can fairly mesmerize three Hazol-Menthol IMasters, quick relief in Lumbago, Backache, Sciatica, Neuralgia and numy painful affections. They drive away the pain until it is quite forgotten. Yard rolls $1.00; smaller size 23c. Jealt-rs have them in stock, or direct from lavia & Lawrence Co.. New York.

EtiCHEY Platlsmoufh BRANCH STORES factors in the trade the retailer, manufacturer and newspaper. That is just what is going on in this state. I trust that this word of warning will save a great many retailers from falling victims of this cleverly planned scheme. The promoter of same called on the writer here at Madson, Neb. We li-lened to his sfory from A to Z, then told him we did not care to invest immediately. The writer touched the '-button" and the game was blocked. We have had our eye teeth cut many years ago. We have paid the price. We are convinced that schemes are profit-destroyers and discord- breeders. Brother Merchant, don't give up vour hard-earned profits to these professional trade- stimulators. Co-operate with your brother merchant, fortify well against anyone breaking in to your ranks; join the Federa tion of Nebraska Retailers and help them fight your battle. Fred Diers.

The matter of the defacing of the government building in this city is about to be brought to a conclusion, and the habit of chil dren and more grown-up persons writing on the walls and playing with the revolving doors stopped. A short time ago a building in spector was in the city and was very much displeased to view the large number of names scattered over the walls and at the antics of those who consider the doors an object to amuse themselves with, and he accordingly report ed the matter to the treasury de partment at Washington, which has the matter of the care of the public buildings in charge, and the department has just written Postmaster Schneider in regard to the matter, calling his atten tion to the fact that the defacing and abuse of the public buildings is a violation of the United States law and that all persons found engaged in defacing the building or making the revolving doors an object to amuse themselves with would find themselves up against it, as in the future the treasury department would take the mat ter up and see that the offenders were dealt with according to law This trouble has been going on for almost the whole time since the government building was opened here and the local author Hies and the postmaster have done their utmost to stop the practice indulged in by not only the children, but by those of more mature age, who desire to display their names on the walls of the building, but without effect, but now that the federal authorities are to get busy they will soon have the matter settled, if only by the arrest and punishment of the offenders according to law.

The ladies of the Methodist Aid society held a very successful bazaar and market in the Hotel Riley block that will imt them a neat sum for their efforts. The ladies had their store room very prettily decorated, and with the large and assorted stock of fancy work made a very pretty scene. The Methodist ladies are hard workers for the cause of their church and feel great pleasure in the success they made of the bazaar, and they have a large number of well pleased custom ers who made their Christmas purchases of them. j u. oanain, u, . m., J. graduate of the Kansas City Veterinary College, is per 5 manently located in Platts- mouth.
