Well, have you paid a dollar on
the Wilson campaign.
Are you in the trade winning
game? If so, lets see what you
are made out of.
The business men of Asper-
mont should look after the roads
leading into the city.
the
What, if anything, are
merchants going to do this fall
to swing the trade this way.
It is time the town of Asper-
mont was looking after the roads
leading into the city. Had you
ever thought about it?
Let's hustle for the trade of
this section and make the fellow
who tries to take it fom us look
like be had been to an Irish wake.
Aspermont wants to widen
out her trade territory.
Yon needn't think that yon can
sit still and the trade will fall
into your lap.
Aspermont should get a move
on herself and look out for the
fall trade. If we sit down and
go to sleep, the other fellow will
swipe our trade.
Spur up your chunks, Mr. Bus-
iness man, and go to looking after
the fall trade. We have got
competitors on every side of us,
and they are live wires, too.
With the bull moose and the
G. O. P. elephant flying at each
other's throats it is a good time
for the democrats to saw wood,
say as little as possible and sail in-
to power this fall.
Push like thunder and Tom
Walker, early and late. The first
thing you know, the whole world
will be helping you to push.
Push for good roads leading to
your town. Push for the trade
that the other fellow will get if
you dont hustle for it.
It used to be a long time ago,
a town could sit down on its lazy
stool and the trade would come
anyway. But that day and time
has passed. The town that
takes its share of trade and a
little more than its share, is the
town that gets up and goes after
the trade.
The world follows the busy
man or town. Make a fuss and
let the world know that you are
still in the ring and are fighting
for business. Go to a barbecue
or picnic and take observations.
The cold drink man that makes
the most fuss, will catch the big-
gest btjnch of suckers.

Tom Beidleman was in town
Saturday. Tom has on exhibi-
tion at the Star Drug Store twin
watermelons. This is certainly
a freak of nature.
® Sworn proof that simple buckthorn bsirk, glycerine,
3? etc. as compounded in Adler-i-ka, the new German
appendicitis remedy, really does cure appendicitis
without operation, can now be seen right in this
^ store. One single dose of this simple remedy will
* relieve wind or gas in the stomach or bowels, sour
•íj stomach, constipation and other symptoms of
chronic appendicitis.
