Tho THANKSGIVING Ball.

Lack of space forbids our giving de-
tailed account of the Thanksgiving Ball
given by the ladies of the Order of the
Eastern Star. 1t was a success in every
way-being the largest social gathering
in Custer for many years. 1t was the
grand opening event of the social season
in Custer. The music was splendid, in
fact praise for the musicians was heard
the entire evening. To say that it was
excellent does not adequately express
our appreciation of the orchestra.
Your Uncle George has attended balls
for half century and this crowns them
all as to general behavior and enjoy
ment-without a jar in the program.
Fun and frolic seemed to vibrate from
crown of head to soul of feet in each
and everyone.
Over so ball tickets were sold and l25
supper tickets. 1t was good supper
for the price and planned with preci-
sion, everything moving as regular as
clockwork. The proceeds was fraction
over $l76. This event will long be re.
membered by all who attended, either
as participant or spectator.

Be Progressive and Original.

One of the pointed sayings brought
out in an address before the meeting of
the National Association Of Advertising
Clubs, was this
The only difference between a rut
and grave is the width and depth"
How many merchants there are that
go on year after year in the same old
way with no progress and Frightening
up. They are in rut and no wonder
that dead business is the result. Moth
ing is SO rapidly advancing these days
as progressive ways of doing business.
The opportunities to each year bring
business out in the light brighter and
better have come not only to cities, but
to all towns of any size and importance
and the difference in appearance in
merchandise stores of every kind that
are not in settled rut amounts to a
revolution in methods in the last %
years. The progressive merchant today
gives as much time to displaying to the
highest advantage all he has for sale as
l
to any other part of his business and he
spends money freely in that line. Mod
ern advertising that has struck so deeply
into business Of every kind has become
as big in decoration and display as it
has in publicity through public print.
Two of Lincoln's largest stores have in
the last few years torn out entire sides
Of their buildings and dispossessed high
class tenants for the primary purpose of
gaining additional display windows.
Had stores done this % years ago their
proprietors would have been declared
foolhardy and their credit pit in jeop-
ardy because of their extfavagance. 1t
is all changed now.
The holiday trade is at the door again,
the period of universal buying, and
there are hundreds of business men in
hundreds of towns in the State and else
where that can make a master stroke
for both present and future business in
getting out of the rut OF Indifference in
these things by changing to progressive
ways in decoration and display. The
response in increased business will be a
surprise to them.-Lincoln (Neb.) Trade

Holiday Shopping.

1t would be difficult to find merchant
in any town, no matter how small, who
in the last days of holiday buying would
not say that it was impossible to proper
ly meet the demands of customers and
who would not say he could have sold
much more if there only had been time
in which to do it. The papers, large and
small, for the last few years have con-
Quoted a campaign for early shopping,
but that will not bring results without
merchants get ready and open holiday
displays and selling days at least two
weeks earlier than is usually done. 1t
is up to the merchants all over the state
to turn new leaf in this line ifanything
is to come of the efforts to lengthen out
the days for holiday buying and dc
away with much ofthe rush times which
distract the strongest trade the few days
Immediately preceding Christmas. With
very little effort merchants who are
wide awake and carry energy into theii
business ought to be able to have all
goods especially designed for holiday
trade marked and put on display early
in November. They should plan, con.
tract for and commence their holiday
advertising at the earliest possible mo
ment from this on. They can afford tc
better work nights now to get ready
than to work night and day in the finish
ing days of this trade and then see much
trade lost because crowded into too shor
time to handle it. If trade is no.
large at first, it should be remembered
that all advance trade is practically clear
gain, and that if selling does not move
off fast it is setting precedent that vii
count much more the next year and the
next until the buying public is educated
to the proftableness of doing their holi
day shopping early, when their is time
when they can get what they want anC
when stocks are bright and new.-Tradt

IOWA FENCE Law.

For the benefit of hockmasters and
| swinebreeders hereabouts who have
made some inquiry about a lawful
fence, we copy the following law now in
effect in Iowa. 1t would be good plan
! to cut out the text of the law which ap-
pears below, and save it for future refer
ence, when you need to build fence:
"a lawful fence shall consist of three
rails of good substantial material or
three boards not less than six inches
wide, and three-quarters Of an inch thick,
such rails or boards to be fastened in or
to good substantial posts not more than
ten feet apart where rails are used, and
not more than eight feet apart where
boards are used, or wire either, wholly
or in part, substantially built and kept
in good repair; or any other kind of
fence, which in the opinion of the fence
viewers, shall be equivalent thereto, the
lowest or bottom rail, wire or board, not
more than 20, nor less than l6 inches
from the ground, the top rail, wire or
board 10 be between 48 and 81 inches in
height, and the center rail, wire or
board not less than l2 nor more than Is
inches above the bottom rail, wire or
board or it shall consist of three wires
barbed with not less than SO iron barbs
of two points each, or 26 iron barbs of
four points each on each rod Of wire; or
of four wires, two thus barbed and two
smooth, the wires to be firmly fastened
to posts not more than two rods apart,
with not less than two stays between
posts, or with posts not more than one
rod apart without such stays, the top
wire not to be more than 54, nor less
than As inches in height.
provided, however, that all partition
fences may be made tight by the party
desiring it, and when his portion is so
completed, and securely fastened to good
substantial posts set firmly in the
ground, not more than 90 feet apart, the
adjoining property owner shall construct
his portion of the adjoining fence, in
like manner, same to be securely fast
ened to good substantial posts, set firmly
in the ground not more than 20 feet
apart All tight partition fences shall
consist of not less than "a inches of sub
stantial woven wire on the bottom with
three strands of barbed wire with no
less than SO barbs of two points to the
rod, on top, the top wire to be not less
than 4S inches, nor more than 54 inches
high; or not less than lS-inch substan-
tial woven wire on the bottom, with four
strands of barbed of not less than Sc
barbs oftwo points to the rod, the top
wire to be not less than 4S inches, nor
more than "a inches high; or good sub
woven wire not less than 48 inches, nor
more than "a inches high.
"In case adjoining owners or occu-
pants of land shall use the same for
pasturing sheep or swine, each shall
keep his share of the partition fence in
such condition as shall restrain such
sheep or swine. Upon application of
either owner, after notice given as pre-
sCribed in this chapter (see sections
1856, 1859, 1880 of the Code) the fence
viewers shall determine all Controver-
sizes arising under this section, including
the partit ion fences made sheep and
swine tight"

were born several children, most OF
whom have preceded him in death.
His surviving descendants in Custer

of whom are settled near his home.

Lack of Judgment and Experience.

More disastrous mining is the result
of lack of experience and good judg-
ment than of any direct intention to
mislead, or any downright chicanery or
intentional dishonesty, not but what
these exist. For some strange and un-
accountable reason business men and
others often imagine that they are COM
petent judges of mining property and
able to size one up, and even run and
manage mine without one-hundredth
part of the knowledge and experience
they would demand of young man
applying for clerkship in their store or
place of business; whereas sound judg.
ment Of mining property, whether or
not it should be purchased, and how it
should be developed, requires at times
almost Lifetime s5zperience, and even
then men are often at fault and make
extraordinary blunders. Some men
never attain the faculty of properly siz-
ing up property; others seem to have
a sort of secoud-sight or intuition, which
is really the result of long experience,
close and conscientious observation. A
good deal depends upon the man, espec.
tally young man starting in right, and
making no mistakes as he goes along, or
rather but few, for there is no engineer
that has not made some, and letting each
mine contribute to and correct his expe-
rience, making him that much wiser
and stronger with greater confidence in
the next.
The best training for an expert mine
examiner is after the usual technical
training, to see, visit and even work in
as many mines as possible, and in as
many different regions as possible. A
mining report, especially by student
fresh from college, is often exhaustively
elaborate, infinitely painstaking, con-
scientious, volumnious and commenda-
BILE, but may lack just that which the
investor most needs, namely, mastery
sizing up of the whole situation in as
few words as possible, as to whether or
not, taking all things into consideration,
the property will pay, and whether it is
likely or not to be a good remunerative
investment to the stockholder.
Veins may look very pretty, attractive
and seductive, and the geology be all
that could be desired, but the question
is, "what will the harvest be?" What
will the mine eventually pay, taking all
things into consideration, on the money
to be invested? Men don't mine for
amusement or entirely for gambling ex-
element, but for substantial returns for
their money.
Let every man who approaches min.
ing keep his head well. Lay aside all
romance, poetry, sophistry, gold fever
hallucinations and a gambling spirit,
and attack the subject as he would a
