Come to the Ihu'UIIICAN onice

It is just as Konkel says in
his advertisement on this page.
He doesn't advrrlise one thing
and furni h s mething else as is
a common occurrence with some
dealers. When you buy of
Konlel ) 'ou' get just what you
buy and you can depend on it.

hand and a good share of his
left one rather than misrepresent , I
no matter how insignifkant the
article.
There are in the world some
foolish people who do's ay they
do not believe in S1.nta Claus ;
but they are merely atTecting a
lack of faith. Every store in
Broken now is doing a good busi-
ncss in the Clmstmas goods line
and the people show by thcir
actions that they believe in Santa
Clam-at1l1 t leare _ bright

inclincd to have crank notions.
No wool-gatherers , these believers -
lievers in uld St. Nicholas.

'l'he Farmers' Institute is as
much-or more-benefit to the
farmcr as the county fair , because - ,
cause at the institute he hears
practical suggestions from. , 'prac-
tical men , who have made a success -
cess at the business. No farmer
should miss an institute when it
is at a11 possible for him to at-
tet1l1. It is onlv those who have
ncver been present at one who
do not care to attend , because
the v do not know how much thev
miss. It would pay every c01 -
munity to send two or thrce representative -
resentative men to attend the
Farmers' Institutes over the
county-whcre it is nut practical
for cverybody to attend-and then
bold meetings in each nc ghbor-
hood , where the deleghts coulc1
bring' out the subjcts discussed
at the Imtitnte. H

Cutting out a lot of expense :
