FINES AND FIGURES.
Statistics from Records Kept by the
Chief of Police.

With only IS fines amounting to
total of $273 given offenders
the past year Lancaster certainly
should be given top place if not
the head Of the list of cities of it's
size in the state. While Lancaster
is not a model city in some ways it
is recognized throughout the state
as a good moral town and fit
place for the best people in the
world to livein.
And 1t seems to be improving, for
in 1904 there were 90 fines amount
ing to $128 imposed.
Chief of Police Budworth keeps a
careful record Of the proceedings of
his office and these figures are
authentic.
The number of tramps housed at
Hotel D'Budworth the past year
was far below former records also.
In 1904 on several nights the marshal
was called upon to care for from
one to dozen hoboes, while dur
ing the entire year Of 1905 but 13
tramps applied for shelter.

TAX MATTERS.
City Treas. Dyer Has Good Record.
Rates in N. and S. Lancaster.

City Treas. Dyer has been kept
busy the past few days writing out
tax receipts, and that times are
prosperous and the people content
ed is evidenced by the few kicks
made
Treas. Dyer's best day last year
was $1,871-on Jan. 18th. His
initial day this year showed receipts
to the amount of 81, us.
First six days last year brought
in total of 81, 833. IS; first six days
of this year Sc, 185. 81. Total amount
to collect this year, $24, Sos. As. Feb.
18th is the limit for getting receipts
at the one per cent rate for collec-
ton fee. After that date 8 per
cent will be charged.
Treas. Petty of South Lancaster
is ably represented at the Union
state bank by his son Charles, who
can fit you out with receipts as fast
as you lay your money down. The
rate IN the south town is 1922 on
the thousand
In the north town Treas. Jarrett
is busily engaged at the First Nat.
bank. The rate there is $500 on the
thousand. In both towns this rate
does not include school tax as rate
differs in various districts.
The difference in taxes in the two
towns is due mainly to the levy in
the north town for macadamized
roads.

Consult together.

The merchants of an Iowa town
recently offered a handsome prize
to the person writing the best short
essay on the subject, ''How to pro-
mote home patronage" and the fol-
lowing, which by the way was
awarded the prize, contains some
very sound advice to merchants in
general.
BE honest, earnest and accom-
mOdating. The most powerful
factor in business is the personal
element, and right there is where
the home merchant has the ad-
vantage of the mail order man.
The farmer knows his home mer-
chant to be honest, straightforward
and obliging. If he can get any
where near as good prices at home
he will not send away. Let the
farmer know you have his interest
at heart and would not knowingly
sell him anything of poor quality.
Educate him to the use of best
qualities and show him the differ
ence in the grades. Make it an
open deal all the way, straight and
above board. The farmer does not
object to a fair profit, but the mail
order men have constantly I'M
pressed on his mind that the home
merchant is robber and a villain,
until sometimes the farmer almost
believes it.
IF he talks of sending away, say,
All right, [ will take the order on
the same terms. Pay me the money
in advance and give me two weeks
time to send to the factory for it,
pay the freight and take what
comes He will open his eyes and
say he couldn't think of dealing
that way. But that is just what
he does when he sends away.
make your advertisements in
the home paper plain, straightfor-
ward talk along these lines. Talk
it over with the farmer in frank
and pleasant way. This personal
element and the man to man friend
ship is the bas element of all bust
ness and especially of the home
patronage. Cultivate it,"

In the old days they made
strings of calfskin. Every farmer
was an expert. He would cut a
disc of leather three or four inches
in diameter, stick the point of a
sharp knife blade in a board, place
the thumb nail the thickness Of
match from it, and quickly draw
the string thru the opening, the
perimeter being reduced the thick
ness Of a match at every measure
Of the circumference. Pretty work!
Then the square string was rolled
between the sole of the shoe ana
the floor till perfectly round, after
which it was creased with tallow.
Such lace would last for months
but the shine soon wore off, Civ
ing them much worn appearance.

The price of all kinds of mixed
paints will be from to 10 cents a
gallon higher during the coming
season than it was last year. In
fact, mixed paints were advanced 5
cents a gallon in December, and a
further increase of a like amount is
promised for February unless there
is a decided slump in the prices of

has been a marked increase in the
price of both white lead and zinc
