iillljllHIIIIIIlIllllIM I LET'S BUILD W. WILLIAMS (Continued from page 1) cisely what I say when. I offer right now to match dollar-f or-dollar with Mr. Whiteford in remodeling the buildings we. own.

I am not directing that challenge to Mr. Whiteford, except in a general way. I like the nhrasp ho nninar nnrl nm iitsinor if HQ! operation UJJJljiIviJui as applicable to him and likewise toj any others Johnson, Mr. Young oiints berg anyone or any several who own property on Main street. I wilLbegin remodeling at any date anyone else begins and I insist that regardless of what they may' do, I will make my Everybody shouli be sensible this Christmas.

These are times' when economy counts. Proper judgment should be used in the buildings compare favorably with nE-Eiwha" spJerhnn or Jmsfnias nresenfs. Presents that will anything, say that has, in point of architectural attractiveness! Did it ever occur to you that a man's life is full of crosses and temptations? He comes into this world without his consent and goes out against his will, and the trip between the two is exceedingly rocky. I especially will be glad to begin at any time the owners of -the building at Main and Sixth street the one across from the Youngberg corner last for years even a lifetilne, will be the most acceptable. For example, a big, comfortable ROYAL EASY When lie is little the big girls kiss him and when he -will begin.

That, in my opinion, i3 the pivotal sore spot in the business district. It is the primary dampener of progress. But regardless; of all and everything else, property-owners should not delay. Good buildings would be a good investment. I am agreeable to the idea of starting and starting as quickly as spring Be wise and would be the ideal gift.

Members of the local Elks lodge initiated' a class of eleven candidates at the regular meeting of that orga- is grown the little girls kiss him. If he is poor he is a bad manager; if he is rich he is dishonest. I If he needs credit he can't get it; if he is prosperous every one wants to do him a favor. If he doesn't give to charity he is a stingy cuss; if he does it is for show.

If he is actually religious he is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in religion he is a hardened sinner. i.i, If he gives affection he is a soft specimen; if he cares for no one he is cold-blooded. If he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to an old age he has missed his calling. The road is rocky but man loves to travel it, and after all there is a good deal of satisfaction, if he and his family are patrons, of and boosters for the Co-Operative Elevator in Osawatomie.
