LOCAL MERCHANT CANNOT

Much Abuse of the Charge Account

Ambitious StorekeePer.

Some people become careless about
paying the bills of the local storekeep-
er. 1t is not that they are dishonest:
they are simply careless -'Oh, I've
been dealing with that man for years
now, and he won't mind waiting
awhile they will say as the first bill
is poked away and forgotten until an
other reminds them of the unsettled
obligation.
A local storekeeper cannot 90 on
doing business at the same old stand
and render satisfaction and the best
possible equivalent for the money with
out his customers cooperation A cog
will slip here and a cog will slip there
in any business when this sort of thing
continues Indefinitely and the home
merchant realizes it has become
practice.
On the other hand, prompt response
to the merchants first bill will be re-
warded- 1t will place a well stocked
store at your disposal and a list of
prices that does not have to be fixed
with an eye to the debtors list.

better still never to open charge ac-

AS a matter of fact, this charge ac-

obliged to grant. 1t is a favor that is
not granted by the mail order concerns.
But when a storekeeper permits a Gus
toner TO go on his books the least that
customer can do is to settle his account
without delay. How this prompt re-

SOLVING A MYSTERY
By CAROLINE A. EARLE

the porch of my hotel smoking. heard
footsteps, and presently 4 light fixed
to the porch showed me the face of
Mr.. Barker, who was walking along
the sidewalk. The expression was not
only that of one suffering from in
somnia; it was a strained look. as of
one in mental distress. L followed.
Not n person except he and 1 was
in the streets. 1 saw him pass to the
outskirts of the town. 1 lost him in
the shadow of barn, and he did not
emerge for several minutes. When he
did he turned to come back. and l hid
myself behind Il fragment of a fence.
He passed very close to me, and l was
about to follow him when l saw a
light in the opposite direction In an
other moment a small fame appeared
at the base of the barn. Instead of
following Mr.. Barker l rushed to the
barn, to find that it had been set on
fire at three different places. L ex-
tinguished the incipient fires. then
went to my hotel. The mystery was
solved.
Before retiring 1 telegraphed stick
full of news to my paper, merely stating
that a prominent citizen of bingham
was the guilty person in the matter of
the mysterious crimes and a solution
of the mystery would be given in the
next issue-Sunday morning

SAFE RECEPTION FOR PIGS.
Practical Suggestions That the Farmer
Will Find of Value.

If the brood sow is given a separate
pen just before she farrows, as she
should be, you will find her making a
nest short time before the pigs come.
1t is not wise to provide her with too
much bedding. for she will make the
nest SO deep that the little pigs Will
get tangled up in the straw and the
sow may lie on them. Four or five
inches of short straw is sufficient BY
all means place the bedding in one cor
ner and, of course, in the corner where
the guard rails are located. The guard
rails should be by 6's about eight
inches from the floor and extending
out six inches from the side of the pen.

They've got sensation down

to go there and write it up.
It's a mystery, and nothing will sell

and concluded to get the facts incog.
None of the people suspected l was a
reporter and talked freely with me
about the case. They were all very
much excited over it. L asked them
why they didn't set a watch, and they
said they had, but that the watchers
got tired and gave it up.
One of the citizens of the place, a
Mr. Harrison Barker, l felt sure 1 had
seen before. That clean shaver face,
those arched brows and high cheek
bones were certainly familiar to me,
but his countenance was serene, and it
seemed that when 1 had seen the man

tried to get starter for my remem-
brance by finding out all about Mr..
Barker and learned that he was one of
the most respectable citizens of Efhng
ham, had lived there long while. had
an excellent wife and sons and daugh-
ters,- who were a credit to him. Fur
thermore he had never been to the
city in which l lived. had never been
in trouble and had thus far passed an
uneventful life.
Why l connected Mr.. Barker with
the mystery l had come down to write
up cannot even imagine. Perhaps it
was something in his eye. But if L
noticed anything peculiar in it no one
else did. One of the things i learned
about him was that he suffered from
insomnia and would often get up when
others We're asleep and walk the
streets

FARMING WITH A PENCIL
OFTEN YIELDS GOOD CROPS
Every Farmer Should Try to Keep
Track of His Operations-figuring
Sets Man Thinking Seriously.

a rather prominent writer on farm
topics has said that the implement
that is used less than any other on the
farm and the one that should be used
most is just the plain ordinary lead
pencil. There is considerable truth in
this statement. Farmers as a general
thing do not give as much attention
as they should to record keeping.
The lead pencil should be in use
every day. \ definite account of in
come and outgo should be kept This
is readily admitted, but this is by no
means all. The production of the diff
ferent lines of farm work, the cost of
keeping up these lines and also the
general items of labor, feed, equipment
and the many minor incidentals,
should be taken into consideration. 1t
is only fair that the farmer should
know what his various crops are cost
ing him. When just the income is tax
en- into consideration and the cost is
Jumped off as one years work there
can never be a definite knowledge of
profits and losses.
The dairy farmer should know not
only what the feeds that are purchas-
L.
of each ton of silage or alfalfa and
each bushel of corn. These sums
should take into consideration all the
work. from blowing the ground to har-
vesting the crop. If a great many of
the men who are thought to be sue
cessful farmers were to begin Z care
full plan of cost keeping they would
soon realize they are not in the class
that they anticipated-that is. they
would find out that they are not max
ing as much as people are giving them
credit for.
There is another thing that the lead
pencil will help to accomplish. 1t will
stimulate thought. Nothing will start
man to thinking quicker than an ac-
count that overbalances on the wrong
side; nothing will more effectually
start him to Investigating to see if he
cannot find where the fault lies.
One caution must be given in this
connection. and that is not to give up.
Don't let the wrong kind of figures
discourage, but, rather, hunt around
for the way out. There certainly is a
solution of the problem. and the one
who finds it first is bound to profit
most by the answer.-Kimbalrs Dairy

the extent of the hostility that these
two parties should unite in their oppo-

the strict religionists, who stickled for

who were supported by the scribes.
The Sadducees included the aristoc-

where they are found in controversy
