CUTTING THE @

GUST OF LIVING
There are many women in this
city who claim they have discovered
how to beat the high cost Of living.
Women elsewhere also make the
same statement and all agree it is by
becoming regular readers Of advertis-
ing. They realize they can save time
by learning where merchandise is
sold cheapest by studying advertise
ments and that, as 1t saves time, it
also saves money.
The merchant who advertises an ar
ticle as of a certain quality knows
that If he does not fulfill his printed
statement he will lose his trade. And
knowing this, women seek first to
buy from the man who will go on rec
ord as to his goods and prices. The
readers Of advertisements are those
who have the high cost Of living on
the run.

Dear friends
1 enclose my check for the G. r. W
for another year. While most of the
names l see in the Ledger are new
to me, having been away for SO
long, I am still interested in the
good old town and am glad to know
Of its progress and prosperity. / want
to commend the stand taken by the
Ledger in its fight for righteous
ness and decent citizenship. The victc
ry of the "drys" will for some time
stand out as THE BEST THING Mex
(ico ever did.
The only way to have a sclean
town is to KEEP IT CLEAN, and
here's wishing the good people God
speed in their efforts to make Mex
leo the best town In Missouri.
I have again taken charge of the
music in the Tabernacle Christian
Church here, which with my other
work will tend to keep me from wor
rylng as to what to do next"
BY the way, the next thing TO
Mexico to do is to have a Y. M
Ia. A. to furnish a warm place" 70
the men and boys-and don't b
stingy about It, either; Mexfco's
boys are as good az any towns boy
and are deserving Of the best yo1
can get for them. AGITATE the
question; EDUCATE the people, an
ELIMINATE the knockers and all
good things will be yours.
Sincerely,
WILL A. HARDING.

CHINA BERRIES
Lambert, Okla, Jan. goth, 1914.
Mr.. Mitchell White.
Dear friend:-
Am sending you some China Der
ries and will state the uses, ways OF
growing, shape Of leaves and descrip-
ton of blossoms.
The women here use the seed,
which are black as Jet and shiny, for
making beads and they also hang
punches OF berries about the touse
as ornaments.
The birds eat the berries and are
put into a stupor just as a man is,
when he drinks w~hIskey.
The berries grow on branches hang
ing like large punches Of. grapes.
Some will be OIL the very tip Of the
branches.
The blossoms resemble those Of
the elderberry and are very sweet
scented. the perfume spreading for
some little distance.
The shape of the leaves remind one
very much of the mistletoe.
With best wishes to you and
your wife and mother
l remain, as ever,
Your friend,
LEO.

FIXING THEIR VALUES.


Two bright young college men are
sent ont by the Public Utilities Com
mission to fix the values of the Ore
gon-California Power Co. plants in
this state.
This is to determine the actual
value of the properties as a basis for
making rates for light and power.
1t is not to be the selling value of
the property.
If the young men find that the
power company is charging rates
that are excessive, the commission
will direct the company to lower
them until they yield only a just
and reasonable profit on the invest
ment.
There is only one danger in all
this-the rate making value tends
to become the market value. If that
be the result, no more capital will
come to Oregon to invest in public
utilities and every community will
be forced to public ownership.
