debt went to the merchantin question
for the purpose Of buying a suit of
clothes, having the money in his
pocket. The merchant at once be-
gan talking about how scarce money
was and remarking that he did not
know what the people were going
to do.
The farmer knew himself that he
was in a pretty good shape, but after
listening to the merchant began to
think that maybe he had better
keep his money for future use and
went away without buying the
clothes. This should be a lesson
to other merchants. Times are not

but it looks like some people are SO
determined to have conditions de-
pressed they are doing all they can
to bring about the very thing they
do not want.-News Record.

Compulsory Education.

We have about arrived at the con.

between the ages " six aud seventeen
years 20 attend school at least five
months In the year Sidestep the
matter as we may, throw 70 ON as We
will, the subject comes back with tell
Ing force. 10 Is true that We have had
a system ~ schools Tor more than
thirty years which have been open 10

able feature Is that only small per
