ANOTHER CRATER IN TOWN

Grafters are still coming and 60
ing, doing people in the variou!
ways they know so well how to do
One of the recent visitors of this kin(
being H. e. Nichols of the firm O.
W. A. Skaif & Company of Omaha. HI
took orders for groceries. and posed
as the friend of the ultimate consum
er, selling him long list of goods
on which he could save large percent
ages by buying of them. 1--WE pay

OF goods" were his mottos, and Mich.

erS.
When the goods arrive. the GUS
toner has to pay the whole bill fol
the goods before he is permitted to
get the goods from the freight house
and then he has "five days for ex-
animation though several who have
reported their experience say five
minutes examination reveals enough
of the character of the goods to salts
fy them they want no more. Having
paid for the goods. of course the Gus
toner takes them home, and the good
wife uses them as rapidly as possi-
BILE, as one man said, "to get them
out of sight"
Mr.. Nichols is much sought for now
by people who have bills .gainst him,
it appearing that he incurred livery
and other expenses for some time,
making the excuse that his draft had
been dealyed. and if he ever got any
draft from "the house," he failed to
make good on certain promises made
to business men who hesitated about
taking his body for security. Then
there came day when they could not
find his body, and that circumstance
probably saved him from getting
what he had coming to him in the
way of punchings above the belt.
We will send marked copy of
this paper to W. A. Skaif & Company
at Omaha to let them know how much
we love them and the men they send
out to do their work. and we take
occasion to say again to our business
men and farmers that a merchants
protective association operated on the
principle of mutual help and self in
terest would save lot of money for
both the merchants and the farmers.
and a firm refusal to buy goods of
distant grocery firms would probably
save a lot of money for both the
farmers and the merchants.
So long as the local business men
do not protect themselves against bad
debtors by some kind of an associa-
tion, and SO long as the current losses
are charged up as expenses of the
business to be paid by the good GUS
toners who actually pay, there will
be temptation for all customers to
try to get goods cheaper somewhere
else
A town with live merchants pro-
tective association is a mighty good
place to trade. and a town that has
none will bear Investigating. They
are subject to grafters from both at
home and abroad.

How to Cure Eczema, PirnpIes
and Dandruff

We desire to say that when we took
the agency for ZEMO, we were con-
WINGED that it was valuable remedy
for Eczema, pimples and dandruff, Yet.
We must frankly admit that Zemo has
far exceeded our expectations as q
treatment for skin diseases. We are
pleased to state that we shall continue
the agency as zEMO has given spIen-
did results wherever recommended.
Our customers like ZENO, too. be-
cause it is clean vegetable LIQUID for
external use.
ZEMO effects its cures by drawing
to the surface of the skin and de-
stroying the germ life that causes the
disease, leaving the skin clear and
healthy. 1t does not soil the clothing
or linen and can be used freely on in
fants.
With every purchase we give a
booklet on skin diseases, explaining in
simple words how any person can be
cured at home of any form of skin or
scalp diseases by this clean, scientific
remedy. Fout e. PorterfeId, Druggists.

Antiquity of Gold Leaf.
f. r. ORCHARD.
(Seal) City Auditor.

Magazine of Commerce: The origin
of gold leaf, like the first use Of gold
itself. is lost in the mists of antiquity.
1t is found, for example, in connection
with the most ancient known mum
mics, having been used for covering
teeth, tongue skin, etc. Sonnet times it
is also found on the collins Gold
leaf was also used on the tombs and
monuments of ancient Egypt, The
process OF making gold leaf has thus
been known since the eighth century
b. c. In the eleventh century it
seems to have attained as high q de-
gree of perfection as today. The gold
leaf on some ancient Grecian pottery
indeed is as thin as that now used.

WHY FARMING NEEDS SYSTEM.

Vast Capital Now Invested Must be
Accounted for and Dividends Earned
The Bookkeeper estimates that the
capital now invested in farming in the
United States amounts to fifty billions
of dollars or fifty times the amount in
vested in the steel industry, which is
the next largest, and says:
Calculating on the basis of the orig
inal value of his land, the farmer is
making money. Calculated on the cur
rent market price at which he could
withdraw his investment and put it
in interest bearing industrial securi-
ties, he is losing money every time

conditions that the business Of farm
ing must respond. The question of
fixed capital has come to stay. we
are not yet out of our first generations
as farmers on a grand scale. This
first generation is taking its hand
from the pillow, and those who follow
the pioneers, either through deed of
sale or probate, must hereafter reckon
interest on investment as an actual
item of cost. Farming as an industry
is in its transitional stage, and 1t is
to meet the new conditions in a bust
nesslike way that experts have been
giving their attention to the question
