Moses Warner and his Lyons Mir ror made such an impression during the early days that advertising which was done then is still bearing results. It is related that twenty years ago a man advertised in the Mirror for a watch which he lost. Recently a far mer living near Lyons found the watch in his corn field, and took it to the Mirror office. Warner’s acute famili arity with primeval days enabled him to remember the advertisement and the description and the owner of the watch. Although the timepiece had been plowed under and over and had “watched” the corn from seed time to harvest for twenty years, it was as good as new. and when wound, started off with oldtime enthusiasm, soon prov ing its ability to keep perfect time. But the man who owned the watch could not wait for the advertisement to work He died seventeen years ago. Mr. War ner wants to deliver the watch to the owner, and we believe his resourceful brain will figure out a way to do it. Thus, if a want ad does not bring re sults immediately don't be discour aged.—Wayne Herald. LITCHFIELD EVENTS. C. E. Achenbach also shipped a load of hogs on Tuesday.

Robert Haines, deserves much credit because this production from the first member to the last was essentially his own and in its arrange ment and staging he shows much skill and genius, for those taking the sevo rals roles of the production we must j say it was an all star cast. Each plav ' ed their part almost faultlessly and with as much class as many profes sional of years experience. Special mention must be made of our star co medians. Wilford Gibson, and Paul Miller, who kept the audience in a roar as long as they were on the stage.

If it is a fact that housewives will soon be unable to serve cabbage, we at least have the consolation of know ing that we will be rid of the smell. If any one person had all the money that is wasted in postage stamps with in a year, he could make faces at John D. Rockefeller and afford to run a country newspaper. Large contribu tors to this mountain of needlessly wasted wealth are those people who send unsigned letters to newspapers. Before an editor publishes an article that is in any way a crtttcism. he wants to know who the author of that article is. The name need not be published in connection with the ar tide, but the editor must have the au thor's name as a sort of defense shou’a anyone come in and demand an excla mation through the barrel of a shot cun. We receive these unsigned arti cles every week, and we imagine this is no less than the nine hundredth time that we have stated they are given no attention. If the writer is afraid to assume responsibility, why ask us to do so? ROCKVILLE HAPPENINGS. George Wickstrom was a St. Paul visitor Tuesday forenoon of this week.
