Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-11-13

Not only will a tree lie as it
falls, but 1t will fall as it leans.
And not only will a man become
fixed in his character according to
his habits, but his habits will be as
his inclinations lean.
The prudent merchant or dealer
who is not now advertising his
goods and wares in a newspaper
that the people read is making the
one serious mistake of his business
career. Crops have been good and
money will be more active. They
not only need certain commodities
but they have the money to pay for
them. They buy ungrudingly.
They are reading the Herald closely
to see who is most anxious to have
their trade.
Now since seed time and har-
vest are past, those of our farmers
who wish to practice economy but
do not know how to go about it,
would do we'll to heed the follow
ing advice: When you have an
hour to spare from corn-husking,
potato digging, or apple gathering,
put in that time by taking look
about the building and farm, and
whenever you may see any piece or
machinery, rake, hoe, shovel, fork,
and take hold of it and store
it in some safe place where you
can find it when wanted. These
implements should be housed
securely also from the injurious Of
fects Of the wind and rain. "A
wagon, reaper, plOw or harrow,
thus protected may save you from
buying a new one next spring, and
you know what that means. Follow
this little piece of advice and you
will wonder at the excellence Of
your tools when next you want to
use them "A penny saved is
pound earned" you know.
The young men who may have
left the old home to engage in busI-
ness for themselves must not forget
that they have a sweet patient
mother, if she is living, to whom
letter from an absent son comes like
bright ray of sunshine to gladden.
cold and heartIess world SO strong
and enduring as a mothers love for
her boy. 1t Is too bad that this
can not be more fully realized by
the boys than it is. The only thing
we can do is to keep the sons and
daughters constantly reminded of
the duties they owe to the hottest
thing living their mother Some
day she will pass on into the great
future, and you, young man, will
be called upon to stand by her open
grave. DolyOur best to lessen your
sorrow0then by iessening her sor-
rows and anxieties now while she IS
with you. Think Of what she has
suffered and done for you. You
can not do too much for her.
The wholesale price of -four has
dropped 20 cents on the barrel. The
drop is attributed to the present
financial and market conditions. |
Flour, even with this drop is still
sky high No notice of the drop
has been received here and no
change has been made in the retail
price as yet. Butter, which has
been selling at a stiff figure, also
took g. drop, the wholesale price
going down two cents Butter now
retails at 80 cents pound and the
wholesale price is % cents. This
drop in butter and -four was gen
eral all over the county, said a local
grocer In discussing the matter to-
day. He said that the prices of
everything had been boosted SO
high that drop of some kind had
to come soon He anticipated a |
drop in the price of various things !
before long; that there would be a
reimbursement of values that would
be to the benefit of the consumer,
also the retailer. He thought that
farm produce would come down !
some in the near future.
