r BLANKETS GROW ON TREES , Ecuador Indians Get Bed Covering* Prom Soft, Thick Bark of the Oemajagua. Blankets grow on trees in Ecnador, and while the idea of an allwool, fresh from the forest, hod covering might give insomnia and a backache to the child of civilization who likes to snnggle comfortably under several layers of down and wool, the natives find it all right, as in fact it is. When an Ecuador Indian wants a blanket he hunts up a doinajagua1 tree and cuts from it a five or six foot section of the peculiarly soft., thick bark. This is dampened and beaten until the flexibility of the aheet is much increased. The rough, gray exterior is next peeled ofT, and the sheet dried in the sun.

"Well, M-hat did your mother say?" Mas teacher's next question. "Said she'd like to wring your neck," replied Tommy calmly. HIGH SEAS.

A Four Hundred Dollar Piano Absolutely Given Away! That advertising is now a science is again demonstrated practically to the buying public of this section by the wonderful advertising system now employed hy the enterprising business house of McElhaney & Co., who are going to give away ABSOLUTELY FREE to some one of their customers on August 1 the beautiful CLAXTON PARLOR GRAND PIANO which is now on exhibition at their store. The Claxton sells for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS and is a HIGH CLASS instrument in every respect, GUARANTEED by the makers for TEN YEARS. JUST THINK OF IT1 A Four hundred Dollar Piano to be GIVEN AWAY! A few years ago, if a merchant was to do such a thing he would be considered a fit subject for an asylum, but conditions have changed, yet in the face of the enormous sum spent in advertising the fact of McElhaney & Co. giving away a $400 Piano is a stupendous un-1 dertaking and it clearly demonstrates | their desire to be "always up to and a little ahead" of the spirit of the times. Every purchaser of $1.00 worth of goods from any department of their stole will receive a coupon good for 100 votes on the Piano. The person presenting the largest number of votes to them on August 1 will receive the Eiano absolutely free. No favors will e shown and every person will be given an equal chance. The reputation enjoyed by McElhaney & Co. for "square dealing" insures this fact. We think the buying people will appreciate this extremely liberal offer on the part of McElhaney & Co. and we predict a lively scramble for votes.?Adv. ? | FREE VOTE COUPON. | * J * Cut out this coupon and J H present it at McElhaney's ^ 4 store and he will exchange ^ 3 it for twenty-five votes in $ ^ the $400 Piano Contest. ^ I Thev Ai I heve returned nessee markets car load of fine and am anxioi and others to s< ery Mule guarante SAM MU m jg I - \ tcement y announce to the p ised the stock of the at the same stand u Massey's iness will be under the personi jars' experience, who will glad xtend the right hand of fellow r business and will guarantee 1.
