Here is the present situation in a

Nearly every farmer who has money
ahead Is using it in opening up more
land, putting up dairy barns, building
roads. Here in town the merchants
are expanding their business, prepar-
ing to build new stores or building,
spreading out. For years to come
this will not be a country of great
idle deposits. Every dollar that
comes to this country has to work,

Girls who have had little experience

many of them interfere with their own

they are the last thing to wear for a

day.

that are really satisfactory for trough.
