Forest City Already
Has Summer Visitors
Well, guess who's come. They have
arrived and will spend the summer with
us. The whole darned family of mos
quito? have invaded Forest City and
begun to visit our citizens. Their stay
among us will be a pleasant one for
there are plenty of nice breeding places
all around town where they will be un
molested. Old pails, tin cans, pools of
stagnant water and dump heaps behind
stores and about many of the private
residences give them plenty of habita
tion.
Why not have a clean up week and
get rid of the flies and mosquitos be
fore they get rid of us?

They have erected a large tent near

vices, and at their 8 o'clock, A. M. Bi
ble study have between 300 and 400
people.
The singing by Mrs. Stone is one o*
the features of the meeting.
Great interest is being manifested at
this meeting ane no doubt great and
lasting good will be accomplished.
The services will last for several
days yet.
Maurice Schwartzman, of the Forest
City Bargain Store, has leased the C.

We're On The Map
Forest City is on the map, all right,
all right. They "head in" here from
all directions and with all kinds of
stunts, and they never "back out."
That is to say, every one coming to
this town finds a welcome—whether it
be the driver of a bread wagon, a
medicine vendor or a tent show.
Forest City had in her midst last
week Bill and Eva McClintock, two
old timers, who for years have played
the biggest circuits, and all the larger
cities. It goes without saying, that
wherever vaudeville was played Bill
and Eva always made a hit with the
audience. But that is all changad now.
Bill is in the legitimate and playing for
himself. Their datings are unlimited
and they go where they want to and
stay as long as they please. They are
introducing a patent medicine and spent
the past week in the city, giving daily
demonstrations on the square. Their
skits were fine and made a great hit.
This week we have with us the
Demorest Stock Co., playing in reper
toire, under their own tent. They will
be here all the week. Most favorable
press comments follow them from
where they have already been showing.
This is a clean, moral show, so far as
we have been able to discover, and is
playing to good audiences. On Friday
night they render "Bringing up Father"
Next week a good carnival is to be
here, we understand. One of the old
fashioned kind, where you see "every
thing" and then some. One where the
barker barks, the speiler speils, and
you part with your coin, and look
around to see who is watching you.
Oh, it's a g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s feelin'.
Let's go!

showing a snappy and beautiful line of
dresses Saturday and the ladies quickly
responded in placing their orders, as
they know a good thing when they see
it. Orders were taken of every sample
displayed. No two dresses alike was
sold after one order had been placed on
a dress. The management of Forest
City Bargain Store appreciate the pat
ronage of the good people of this vicin
ity and reciprocate by giving the best
of goods at the lowest prices.

Governor Bickett, when approached
abont becoming a member of an "over
all club," most emphatically refused,
saying:
'There is no good in it, and there is
positive harm. It will run the price of
overalls up to a figure that cannot be
paid by those who of necessity must
wear them."
The governor continued: "I woull
not agree to pay more than $5 for a
hat. You can get a decent hat for that
sum. I would agree not to pay more
than $7.50 for a pair of shoes, nor more
than $3 for a shirt, S4O for a suit of
clothes, 50 cents for a pair of sox anrl
20 cents for a collar. I think that
members of such a club ought to agree
not to buy an automobile until prices
have dropped 25 per cent. So long as
people are willing to pay any price for
things they want and are not willing tc
practice self denial, all talk about cut
ting down the high cost of living Is
gabble."
The governor is eminently right
Look out for overalls to take a jump in
i price. We believe the people should
form "clubs" to lower prices, and the
best way is a concerted price-agreement
movement, such as agreeing to pay
only so much for an article, such as the
governor outlined in his remarks. This
method would beat an overall club.
