CONCERT A SUCCESS.
The DeSoto Band headed by Henry . . . rwin, as sponsor and Walter . . . le, as musical director, treated dozens and dozens in Hillsboro Saturday evening. The program had everything from classical music to “Jazz” and was well rendered. One of the unique features of the concert was the vocal quartette with Lloyd YOUNG, William SAP . . ., GEIB and Spencer BRICKEY. . . . They sure can sing and appealed to the crowd that came to hear them at it until they sang “We don’t know any more.” A goodly crowd of DeSoto came out with the band to enjoy a splendid evening air and the concert. It was announced by Mr. . . .t the Band would give a concert in DeSoto in the latter part of next month and special music and special performances added to make up a splendid entertainment. This is a home entertainment Jefferson County ought to … Come again.
~HILLSBORO BALL TEAM~
Last Sunday the Hillsboro Base Ball Club played the Crawford Lumber Co. team of Festus at Hillsboro. It was a very pretty exhibition and the Hillsboro boys won by the score of six to four. Elliot LANHAM and Harris JOHNSON were at the points for the Hillsboro team and put up a good game. PORTER and LABREYER were the pitcher and catcher for the CRAWFORDS. Monday Labor Day – the boys went to DeSoto to tackle big league stuff. HUSKEY was pitcher and ROESCH catcher for Hillsboro and DONNELL and CAMERON were for DeSoto. The Hillsboro boys out batted DeSoto making 7 hits to DeSoto’s four. They lost the game on fielding errors, the score standing 3 to 2 in favor of DeSoto. HUSKEY pitched brilliant ball and had the DeSoto batters standing on their heads most of the time. The HILLSBORO boys are confident that they can trim the DeSoto boys and will try for another game.
~CHICKEN CULLING DEMONSTRATION~
“Mesdames Maggie ADAMS, Annie KENEY, Opal FRANZ, Blanche KENEY and Lily RUSSELL and Earl KENEY were Hillsboro and Record Office visitors yesterday. They came out to attend the chicken culling demonstration at the John F. WILLIAMS farm near town and were all highly pleased with the work and consider that the demonstration clearly shows that thousands of dollars are annually spent on chickens that are not producers of eggs and are only a useless and unnecessary expense. All of the ladies are enthusiastic boosters of the home bureau idea and say that those who are wise enough to know that they did not know it all have profited by the work.
We are again treated to the statement that the true friends of China are those who wish to assist Japan in robbing her of ten thousand square miles of territory and thirty-eight million people. But isn’t it queer that the Chinese themselves do not realize such philanthropists are really their friends, but protest against having such favors conferred upon them! “Join the “Home Bureau”.

[Ad] Racine Horse-Shoe Tires
“Remember the Horse-Shoe Tread” – not only because it is the hall-mark of a great tire, but because it has several distinct advantages of its own. While effectively anti-skid, it is noiseless on asphalt or concrete – does not hum or sing. It is equally efficient on front and rear wheels – has no tendency to “climb” out of ruts or make steering difficult. And it is wonderfully tough – seldom gets cut. Remember – the next tire you buy is going to be a Horse-Shoe? For Sale By Julius KOHLER, Antoni, Mo., Kimmswick, NO., R.F.D. No. 3
[Ad] Why Have Tractor Troubles?
Lubricating oil is inexpensive – the cost of a burned-out bearing will pay for the lubricants necessary to keep the machine in order for months. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) manufactures three lubricating oils for tractors – Heavy Polarine Oil Stanolind Tractor Oil Extra Heavy Polarine Oil. One of these tree is the correct oil for your tractor. The Engineering Staff has prepared a chart showing which one will give the best results in your particular tractor. The nearest Standard Oil representative will be glad to show it to you. Write for “Tractor Lubrication, which you will find a valuable reference book of 100 pages and we believe it will save you many days of tractor idleness with the resultant money loss.

[Ad] Plan Fall Repairs Now.
Prepare for the storm days. Make the roof leak-proof, the doors plumb, the windows tight – in fact put the whole building in ship-shape order for winter.
You’ll find it pays to plan it out with us whether it’s storm sash, new window casing, doors, roofing, shingles, door casing, seasoned lumber to repair the porch or stairs or inside trim for wainscot or base board.
And how about that extra room this year? Beaver Board will make it in attic or other waste space. Beaver Board – the original pine-wood-fiber wallboard – is the only board “Sealite” sized to prevent warping or bulging.
It’s easy the Beaver Board way – no mess, dirt nor delay. The Beaver Board room is warmer in winter yet cooler in summer. The handy panels are quickly nailed in place and painted. Decorative strips put on over the panel edges complete the room. Let us furnish special designs and working plans. Halekamp Lumber Co. Yards.

[Ad] Indiana Tractor
The All-round Tractor For the All-round Farmer.
It is just as important to have a tractor that is practical for planting, cultivating, mowing, and harvesting as it is to have one for just plowing, disking and barrowing. How much more economical and practical therefore will be the tractor, that does all these things as one man single unit equipment.
The INDIANA TRACTOR does all these things, and does all of them with but one operator and as a single unit machine. The horse is the most unscientific maker of power in use today, any tractor therefore which actually replaces horses, eliminating their keep and investment should be regarded as economical, to replace horses satisfactorily the tractor of course should not only do all that horses do, and more of it, but do it at less cost. The INDIANA does this and as the same time effects a savings of man-power, in order to achieve these necessary results a tractor must be light in weight, economical in operations and general in its use. The simplicity, compactness and adaptability to all purposes make the Indiana standard of Tractors. For further information apply INDIANA TRACTORS, INDIANA SILOS, PAPEO ENSILAGE CUTTERS. W. W.
