Dttumwa Merchants Will Meet Any Quotations of Mail Order Hp Concerns. Your attention is called to the an nouncement .of the McGavic Lumber Co. on page 8 of this issue. In this you will find quotations on pai^l doors and windows which meet the quotations of catalogue houses. When you ruy from Ottumwa lumber men they will sell you a staple line of stock goods, at a little less than you pay a catalogue house, and at the same time you see the goods you buy before paying for them. Also you save the freight and the trouble of writing and buying a money order, Which i&ust accompany an order when you buy from any catalogue house. Many people have an idea, after look ing at beautifully illustrated cata logues, that they can buy from these concerns goods cheaper• than you can from your home merohant. This Idea Is not borne out by the advertise ments of the local merchants, who meet any quotation which you can pick out from any mall order cata logue. There is another Important matter to keep before you, in con lection with your purchasing from a ocal merchant—and that is if you vish credit, the same will be extenu )d' to you. This will not be done In iase you buy by mail and all should live this important question of spend ng their money, the utmost conBider ition. Take your crops for Instance, or my of your produce—you bring the lame to Ottumwa, receiving cash for .t. Why shouldn't we all feel that jersonal pride of boosting our own nerchants and particularly so when ihey do better toward you when all is laken into consideration? KNOXVILLE.

Auctions Every Other Thursday and Friday—Private Sales Daily. Jan to June is the Harvest Time of the Horse Dealer. Get Busy. EXTRA GOOD SALE LAST FRIDAY. Those who attended last Friday's ••sale here will bear me out in the state ment that Ottumwa. is the greatest market wes of the Mississippi— especially for the highest type of draft horses. While the prices paid may nave seemed, to the crowd present, XfT „!?,gh' 11 must be The Cattle Feature. I have arranged with "Billy" Coop er of Hedrick. one of the most suc cessful and popular stock' and farm sale auctioneers in Iowa to conduct a side line sale, in connection with each 2 tj® regular horse sales. These will be held in the yards and sheds ad joining the sale pavilion and will be gin at 1 p. m. and continue while the horse auction is in progress in the sale ring. At these sales Mr. Cooper will sell anything and everything the farmers and others wish to consign, including cattle, hogs, colts too youn- for the market, stallion, any stock not sold to advantage at the regular sale. Also wagons, buggies, harness, farm im plements, etc. For the sale on the 18th, we already have about 100 head of cattle listed, and will no doubt have many more by the date of the sale. So remeber you dealers and farmers from now on, you can figure on a market for every thing you bring to us. from a weak ling mule to ton stallion. We will have the crowd and we will have the time, and one of the best auctioneers in that line you ever saw, and our rates will be reasonable. On kattle we will charge a fee of $1 for sin^leanimal, 50 cents per head when sold in bunches of 5 to 20 head, 5 per cent on wagons, buggies implements, harness, etc. Pick up everything you run across, with the money, and notify me or Billy Coober, Another thing. At thte season of the year many of you at a distance, will probably have no time to bring horses to the sales, so if you will drop me word what you have for sale, giving your location, I will send buyers to your place.
