Mistaken For a Hold-up
i I i t -- t aataiow ni'O ULUii uivyiiiiu vw
ii realiiitioii of the extreme hazurd un
der which uroul highwayman oporatos,
IIo was returning homo Friday night
mid run out of gns whon about three
miles from the city. Mr. J. C. MUcholl
the jowolur happened to bo driving
out that way and Dr. Hurst tried to
stop him with the idea of obtaining
enough gas to get homo. Mr. Mitchell
. however didn't understand tho S. O. a.
signal of thu stranded doctor and
thought it a during attempt at high
way robbery. Instead of stopping as
tho big figure in tho darkness had sug
gested ho stepped on the throttle and
pushed on the steering wheel until
Charles Huffer'.-i place was reached,
From thero Marshal Doyle was called
over the phone, that thu holdup might
be apprehouded and tho highway back
to the city niado safe for travel.
Officer Doyle secured Fred Slaby as
an assistant and departed at a high
rate of speed to the scene of disturb
ance. One tire camo off and was lost
in the mad drive bat little things like
that could not be allowed to interfere
I with the enforcement of the law at 'a
time like this and was not noticed.
Dr. Hurst, not realizing that ho was
causing any excitement, Haw the lights
of Doyle's approaching machine and
decided to stop them aud ask for gas.
As he stepped into the road Mr. Doyle
who thought he was tho bandit, com
mauded him to surrender and empha
sized it" by opening Are with a young
cannon which ho carries to encourage
obedience to the laws ol the land. .
Mr. Slaby, who realized that it was
the hold-up's turn to shoot, carefully
secreted himself in "the bottom of the
car to await developments. Dr. Hurst
although pleased at finding a car that
would stop was quite alarmed at the
unique recoptlou he hud been given;
He realized that his mode of proceduro
had been wrong all the timo. When
"Doc" runs out of gas again he will no
doubt leave the highway and go very
cautiously to some farm house where
if lie isn't mistaken for a burglar and
hilled ou the spot ho may get help.

Mr. Farmer:
We have always dealt with our patrons in a
fair, square, open and above board fashion,
giving you the best possible price for your
produce and selling you goods at the lowest
possible margin of profit.
We believe in "putting all the cards on the table"
Our competitors have advanced the price of
cream five cents above the station price in
order to attract attention to this particular
item, using this as a bait to get your business
coming their way after which the price can
easily be adjusted to normal.
We pay you as much as you can get any where
By mis-leading advertisements you might be
lead to believe that our competitors arc pay
ing more for your produce than the Farmers
Union, but this is not.truc WE POSITIVELY
PAY YOU AS MUCH AS ANY BODY and
what profit we make is paid back in dividends.
It is a splendid idea for the farmer who has
had any differences occur in his tests, to
weigh his cream before he takes it to a station.
It is possible for an advanced test to be given
by deducting from your weight, which is very
misleading to the patron.
The Farmers Union
