The models are such as lifetime in the bust

The Cast Plows are made from pig metal of from
seven to ten different varieties OF cold and hot

Some Advice Which will not be Heed
- ed.

The wise mariner, makes frequent
observations, in order to tell Just where
he Is in his voyage. and how lar from
dangerous reefs and rocks he may be
steering. The wise merchant. makes
frequent invoices, of stock on hand, ac-
counts, assets and liabilities, in order
TO keep his business well in hand. The
time for caution, clrcumspection and
judicious economy is not after but be-
fore the crash,a and properly securing, the
stable door" before the horse is stolen,
is much better than dozen chains and
padlocks after he is gone. Peace is the
proper time to prepare for war, and a
people fully prepared for war are gen.
orally spared its necessity. But why
quote these old stale and thread bare
truisms. Everybody knows them9 We.
ry true, but who heeds? 1t is we'll
known fact that panics and hard times
follow each period of prosperity with
almost mathematical regularity and ex-
actness. From to II years, consti-
tute the usual Intervals. 1t would
seem that with this fact well establish
ed and known that only ordinary eau
ton and foresight would dictate to the
individual preparation and readiness
for their advent, but such is not the case
generally. The machine, like an en-.
gine without a balance wheel or gover-
nor, goes on with ever increasing speed
till the collapse comes, and the reaction
takes place, and thousands loose their
little all in the general wreck. Times
are good now, business prosperous, real
estate. commercial. railroad manufac-
turing and industrial interests are to use
very common phrase booming" 1t
may 90 on with Increasing ratio this
year, prehaps next year, possibly the
next, but the balancing of the ledger
must take place sooner or later. Then
it is when the weakest 60 to thewall and
the strongest barely keep afoat Now
is the time when true foresight exam
ines the chart, and heads the ship away
from the reef. The best time in the
world to pay debt Is when you have
the money. The man who now places
himself out of debt and shapes up busl-
ness so that every line and interest is
thoroughly under control, be he farmer,
merchant, manufacturer or artisan is
the one who will pull through when re-
action comes. Our advice then to all Is
learn to make haste slowly-be enter.
prlsing but not reckless-liberal with
out extravagance-and instead of get
ting INTO debt because the times are
good, get out of it, and then you can
laugh at 2anics and need not fear the
hardest of hard tunes.
