"pay as you Go"--Motto for 1908.

John Randolph of Roanoke once cried
out in the House of Representatives 'I
have found the philosophers stone, PAY
as you CO. The exact circumstances
under which these words were spoken, we
do not know, but we do know that they
were wise and timely words.
It is much easier, too, to follow this
rule than most persons suppose. In most
instances persons could 'pay as they go, y
if they set out to do it. And then, it we
pay for what we get, at the time we get
it, it will tend to bring our purchases
within our needs, rather than our desires
The credit system, in our daily affairs
Is, both to the buyer and the seller, VIC
ious system. 1t has wrecked many man
on both sides of the transaction, the buyer
and the seller.
If persons can buy on credit, the dis
position upon the part of many is to buy
more than they need, not taking into ac-
count that the day of payment will come.
There is wide margin between what we
really need for comfortable living, and
what our abnormal desires lead us to. And
we know that as these desires are met,
they enlarge, until finally it is impossible
to crafty them. Then the man breaks
down, discouraged and dispirited; feels that
life is not worth living, and all because he
had credit and abused it. In other words,
all might have been avoided, if he had
needed the safe and sane rule, "Pay as
you co.
There is no better time to put this rule
into practice than the beginning OF the
New Year.
Any man or family who will adopt this
rule for 1908, who has not done so in
previous years, will find at the end Of the
year, how much they actually wasted, in
the way of unnecessary and useless pur-
chases in 1907, and for which they are not
penny'.s worth better off
Put over the door-posts of your home,
your counting room, your office, the good
motto for 1908, "PAY AS YOU CO."

In his message Governor Warfeld falls
into very common grammatical error
when he says "since | have been Cover,
nor" e.'Since'' is defined by Webster
s'from definite past time until now;
hence it should be accompanied bya verb
Of the past tense. "Have beer" which
links the past with the present, might be
construed s'from now until now, which,
of course, would be devoid of meaning.

Carroll County, Nd.

Carroll County, Nd.
January 6, 1908.
To the Honorable, the Board of County
Commissioners of Carroll county. Md.
We, the undersigned, representatives of the
County Grange of Carroll county respectfully
urge your honorable Board to have the county
roads opened to their full width.
2. That reasonable part of the money
levied for public roads be used in reducing
grades on said roads, and
8. That ample provision be made for
placing stone on the roads at such time as
farmers can do the same.
Respectfully submitted.
To the County Grange OF Carroll county.
Your communication, presented to US by q
delegation of your Grange, urging us to have
the county roads opened to their full width,
that a reasonable part of the money levied
for public roads be used in reducing the
grades of said roads and that ample provision
be made for placing stone on the roads at
such time as farmers can do the same, will
receive our careful consideration.
In the meantime we would ask whether
your Grange has considered or estimated
what amount of money would be necessary to
carry out your recommendations, and to what
extent you would advise the raising of the tax
rate in order to comply with your suggestions.
Because even with the most economical
dispensation or distribution of the money now
raised by the road tax, this board finds that
the amount is insufficient to properly repair
the roads in such manner AS they desire.
Therefore to carry out your recommendations
the tax rate for road purposes would have 10
be increased five fold to tenfold. is

TARGET PRACTICE ORDERED
STOPPED FOR PRESENT

Because of reports that farmers on
lower Tutuilla are endangered by ri
cochet bullets from company LIS
rifle range, orders have been issued
for all target practice to be stopped
until further notice.
Yesterday a squad of guardsmen
were at target practice on the range
and today William Porter. the Tutuil-
la farmer, complained that one of the
bullets had struck in the vicinity of
his home. Accordingly further shoot
ing was ordered stopped by the COM
manding officer of the company.
The trouble arises from the terrific
force Of the new Springfield rifles.
Behind the target on the rifle range
is a huge sand hill which has caused
the range to be considered as abso-
lutely safe. But the force of the new
guns is so great that the shots ri
cochet from the hill and thus endan-
ger the neighborhood.
The rifle range will be improved so
as to completely avoid this danger or
a new range will be secured.
