A gentleman, who came to Web
ster this week, had ali order all
made out to send to Montgomery
Ward a Company and all he had to
do was to get his money order and
post the letter. When he arrived
in the city his curiosity got the bet
ter of him andshe wanted to see
how much he was going to save
by the transaction. Accordingly he
went to the Elevator Store and with
his list in his hand asked for prices.
Imagine his surprise upon finding
when he had completed the list that
the same goods which would cost
him 1929 in Chicago plus freight
and money order, could be pur-
chased right here for $6. He left
the order. 1t will pay to get home

One thing which has been
brought very forcibly to our notice
during the present term of the cir
cult court in this county is the utter
foolishness of about half of the
cases. In about fifty per cent of
the civil actions had the plaintiff
gone home after he got mifed, sat
down and calmly though the ease
over he would have gone to his
opponent and with a few words of
reason effected a settlement.
Instead of doing that he consulted
an attorney who was looking for a
iob-got an influenced opinion,
reaped a lawsuit and escaped as a
loser in the end. The majority of
cases can be settled out of court
much more to the financial interest
of all concerned except the law
