Grange Thoughts.

A grange is not doing its best work
IL 1t permits its meetings to be thirty
or even ten minutes late In opening
Occasionally an organization may be
swamped by too much enthusiasm; more
die from too little of Il.
The grange Is not so much an organixa-
lion to make money for its members an Il
Is to make true men and women out of
its members. T-l 0-
The strongest grange Is not necessarily
the one with the greatest membership a
few members who are In earnest are
worth more than a lot who don't care
very much.

FOR THE PAST

few weeks we've read considerable about certain members Of Damn family and sometimes the item would be about the whole Damn family. A few days since we see where man who earns his living before the foot lights got himself into d scrap with couple of gentlemen wnose business It is to look after the footlights. etc. Well, this fellow got the lightest sentence when they came into court. but he got S25 worth on the head which the oth- CTS escaped. Now. from what we see and hear we wonder if he is one or that Damn family we have been reading about. Who knows but that he may he in disguise, but from all accounts lf he doesn't start in drinking the kind of drinks we sell he'll leave our city and leave it with few lines of poetry the same as the organ grinder did thus:
 Gooda by my Fadarah
 I likee you no moran
 I'll ah packah myah trunk
 And sela de munk
 And comeah backa hear no morrah
 However, if you wish good health. strength and a cool, level brain and have your mind always wishing others as much happiness as you wlsh TOT yourself, you should buy our tea. col fee. cocoa and have no other butter on your table only the quality we sell for o5c per pound. This week We give I bars of good seasoned soap with each pound of our warranted good. 51c tea and remember our coffees are always fresh and the nice-tasting kind. Try the quality we sell.

THE RIGHT TIME

There is always dull season ln the stores of those merchants who fail to keep in touch with the people. There is never a dull season in those stores that keep in touch with the people all the time The right kind of advertis- ing, persisted in all the time. keeps the merchant and his goods in touch with the people all the time and cuts out dull seasons.

WHAT'S THE USE

in paying exorbitant prices for your Wines and Liquors. Did it ever occur to you that you are paying from p to 50 per cent more than you had ought to, perhaps it is because you think that because our prices are so low that it cannot be the genuine article. Do not allow that to confuse you. During our entire business career we carr,ed an untarnished reputation and We can not afford to put a black spot on it now and to make it still more binding we will add. MONEY REFUNDED IF NOT AS REPRESENTED.
