Houses are scarce in Brandon and
hardly week passes but what there
are applicants for q number Of tenant
houses. The town loses a number Of
good families each year who would
like to locate here II they could find
the houses. Those who have the
means to do so would find the erection

Men have various ways Of carry ing
money, grocers, butchers and millers
carry it in . wad. Bankers in clean
bills, laid full length in a pocket
book. Brokers only fold the bill

Where is the man so happy as the
one who applies himself to manual
labor? Where is the home Sd happy
as the one whele each member of the
household feels, at the close Of the
day, that they have performed some
at least Of the many duties devolving
upon them? There may be a clash
some day between capital and labor.
Should this period ever come, the
hope is that labor. with the conquer.
ing tread of hero, will trample be-
meath It's heel the power that has, to a
considerable extent, made lobor labor.

The man who wrestles with the
cow and learns the calves to suck, who
casts the corn before the swine, is
now in greatest luck, for buffers on
the upper grade, veal's higher than q
kite, pork is climbing up the scale
and beef is out of sight; eggs he
gathers every day from his Poland
chicken coop are almost worth their
weight in gold and we are in the
soup. His corn brings him q fancy
price, it's rising every day, and he
rakes in all kinds Of mon for q half
load of hay. The farmer is in the
saddle and when he comes to town the
rest of us by right should go way back
and sit down.
Our people are looking forward to
the next move Of the mayor and alder
men in the matter Of water works and
electric lights. We should make a
generous response to the Efforts Of our
''city dads All should aid them in
this laudable work. With an assessed
valuation Of $3.50, 900, we can we'll af-
ford to issue the necessary bonds. The
tax will be small and will be more than
offset by the enhanced valuation In
property, to say nothing Of the great
convenience in our homes and improve
ment to our town. We have the best
town in the state, and we should push
her to the front. If Clinton, Collins,
ETC., can have these utilities, why not
Brandon? We owe 1t to ourselves and
to our glorious old town to make these
improvements-others will follow.
Let Us get . move on and all pull to-
gether for advancement and improve
ments.
