—Ladies' $1.50 Shirt Waists now 75c at the Dollar Saving Store.

Aimer ITelgerson and Ralph Dean have formed a partnership In the abstract and real estate business, and the firm as now constituted is able to handle a large volume of business. Mr. Helgerson's growing business has called for so much outside work that the ollice work was in part neglected, hence the necessity for a partner. In securing Mr. Dean as a partner Mr, Ilelgerson has been very fortunate, and the new firm is a strong one.

Oscar Brown: Twenty-six years ago today, July 10, 1880, I marched down flfth street, Canton, viewing the promised land and wondering of the future. The first thing I tried to do in a business way was to purchase the corner now occupied by the Farm-era State bank. The title was not clear and I failed to get it. "Yes," said James Lewis, "I remember the time. I was called an old settler then. I reached Canton April 20, the same year."

The recent wedding of Mr. Torber-son and Miss Sundvold, was one of the largest ever held in the county, and for presents and tokens of love, the bride and groom were generously remembered, in fact the array was a delightful evidence of the high es­teem in which Mr. Torberson and his bride are held. Money, silverware, china, glassware, furniture, every­thing that would charm the heart of a queen was there, and the Leader feels pleased to know that Mr. Tor­berson and his beautiful bride start out in a newer and more beautiful life under such favorable and bappy conditions.

No word from the escaped prisoners yet.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown and little daughter, Marguerite, left Monday for Logan. Iowa. Mrs. Brown is a sister of Mrs. Averill, and came to Canton some time ago. Mr. Brown who is a banker at Logan, came up last week, but his business prevented a longer sojourn at this time.

Six autos rested in front of the Rudolph last Sunday, while the visit­ors enjoyed the hospitality of Colonel McDermott at dinner. The autos came from Beresford, about a ninety minute ride. Canton is becoming famous as an auto center during the Assembly, because of the joys of a spin over the good roads and the splendid entertainment at this end of the trip.

Albert llegness and wife, Ed Linde, Mr. Ofstad and wife, nnd a number of other enthusiastic Beresford hus­tlers were in Canton last Sunday—six auto loads in all. The business and professional men of Beresford own sixteen autos and two more are order­ed. That's the uptodate spirit that makes Beresford a hummer in a busi­ness way. Every business man down there advertises in the home papers, and the town gets the benelit of this business enterprise. Here in Canton half of the business men don't adver­tise any, but do business on what the other more enterprising business men pay to attract trade to the town. There are a number of business firms in this city that are making big money but don't advertise. If no­body advertised and there were no papers here we believe ]those non advertising tirms would show a differ­ent degree of enterprise or bust. Men who do business, a big business, in a growing town, and won't even adver­tise in a home paper or help to de­velop the town or olfer business in­ducements to attract trade, are of no more use to a town than the class who send away to the catalog houses for their supplies, and some do send away for cheap printing. Rushing, pushing business men make a town.

Business is Very Good Thank YouI

Sales are better than last year at this time, and we have all the repair work we can conveniently attend to these hot days. Now, "There is a reason" for this.

Three burglars were captured in Sioux City Tuesday for breaking into Northwestern cars, and it is more than likely they are the ducks who escaped from Canton last Sunday morning. They are in jail down there for ten days for tramp vagrancy, and Sheriff Opsal will have a chance to look them over.

Andrew P. Dixon, Jr., arrived in Canton Tuesday for a visit with his father and mother, Major and Mrs. Dixon. Andrew is with the Burling­ton railroad in the Chicago ollice, and has not been home for thirteen years. His old friends were glad to see him.

The overflow from heavy rains that came down the railroad ditch and made a mud hole and a lake out of the west part of the city near the Lutheran church, and flooded cellars, and made the ram's horn canal a terror, will soon be shut out. Mayor Gemmill solicited the aid of Superin­tendent Beardsley of the Milwaukee who came to Canton and in company with Mr. Gemmill looked the ground o"er. The in vest.igation resulted iti Mr. Beardsley ordering a new four by four foot culvert under the track at the west end of First street, where the ditch will be banked up. This will carry off all the water that comes down the right of way as well as the overflow that has heretofore come down Cedar street from the country. The ditch at the head of Cedar street has been deepened and widened and a new bridge put in. The city drainage system will take care of all water falling within the city limits, but when nine mile began to tlood our modest little ram's horn, all we could do was to swear in silence and hunt for driftwood. Those who have been flooded for years will rise up and bless 'the Mayor for his prompt action.

The treasons Why YoU Sholild iJse a Gasoltqe Engine aijd the
