which will please. We are ar
ranging for a much larger news

hibiting the running of billiard
and pool halls in the city. Judge
Hosteller sustained the ordinance
iu every particular. The pro
prietors have appealed the case
to the Supreme Court. In the

continue to run until the Su
preme Court passes on the case.
It Pays to Advertise.
As an illustration that it pays
to advertise , the new clothing
firm of Harmon & Kern is good

A page , a half page or a quarter
page in which you can tell the
people what you have to sell and
quote the price will increase your
business. Try it and see. Also
remember that you cannot drive
a 40-penny spike with one blow
of a hammer.
