"Why not step up production, be it milk, eggs or pork?
Pigs started on Larro Pig Feed means they mature quicker, dress a better percentage and make better flavored pork.
32% Larro Dairy Feed is proving very popular.
It's a much safer feed-than cottonseed meal, as you
have three sources of protein instead of one.
Larro Egg Mash needs no comment—ask the
dozens who are feeding it.
Also in stock, Meat Scraps, Package Salt, Grit, Cracked Corn,
Bone Meal, Charcoal, Cod Liver Oil, Bran, Middlings, Dog Pood, Calf

Big dolls, little dolls, dolls with
curly hair! short ones, tall ones, go-
to-sleep and crying ones—Santa has
left them all for the admiration and
love of little girls in the vicinity of
Saline. The local merchants have
large stocks and a wide variety of
gifts to delight the boys and girls on
Christinas morn.
Wandering through the stores to
see what Santa had left for this season the Roving Reporter was astonished at the multitude of gay and attractive things which filled shelves,
counters and even stacked on the
floor. Games of every kind and description—spin the wheel ones, authors, Old Maid, and what variety;
building toys as Lincoln bricks, logs,
mechanical sets, doll dishes, toy pianos, sleds, scooters, skates, wagons,
drums, books,' tool kits, flashlights,
and so many, many more that you
will have to look for yourselves. At
any rate there were so many and
such lovely things that the Reporter
wished that again she were a little
girl hanging her sock for Santa to
fill and waking oh, so very early
Christinas morning to find the assortment of treasures which Santa
prepares for children everywhere.      j
But for Dad and Mother there are j
just as many and just as nice things.
