THE LOCAL MERCHANT IS
FRIEND OF CUSTOMERS
HIS Has Bargain Sales, Two of
Which Are On Now--You See
the Goods.

There is one real way for meeting
the mail order menace to the country
store, and only one. That is to
MEET it. There are now going two
bargain sales in the south end of the
county, by local stores, and these are
more than meeting mail order COM
petition. These stores are showing
their customers exactly what they
are offering. You may see the goods,
you may handle the goods, and if
they prove to be other than as
represented, you may nave your
money back.
If the local merchants at Potosi
and Tennyson did not sell for as
cheap a price as the mail order
house, (but they do, and for less
money, quality considered) even then
the buyer is a winner to trade with
them, because the return privilege is
worth at least 10 per cent of the
retail price. And when you buy at
home, and see the goods before clos
ing the deal, you always have the
privilege of returning anything that
does not please you.
Then there are other considera-
tions, among which is the one that
The local merchant is your friend.
He is your neighbor, and if he has
any special bargains he tells you
about them, so that you may take
advantage of the oppor tunity TO save
money.

Lancaster Beats PIatteviIIe.

Local patrons of basket ball witness
ed the finest game so far this sehson
at Hatch's opera house, last Friday
night, when Lancaster slipped one
over on Platteville high school to the
tune of z to 81. Not only was it the
fastest game the local five has played
but in all good points possible to be
made our fellows did their very best.
Not before have they shown such close
team work, and that has been a feat
ure of their playing this year. For
PlattevilIe it may be cheerfully said
that their playing was excellent, and
their department strictly 100 Ex."

Along about the holidays, as
William Fatche was driving into
town one evening, be suffered a rear
end collision from an automobile that
was being driven to Lancaster from
.Platteville. 1t seems the' auto con-
eained the orchestra that was to
furnish music for dance. Anyway,
the auto struck Mr.. Patches sleight
so hard that. it was thrown upon the
horses, and one of them was severely
cut on the ham. Later on it was
known that the auto was from the
livery Of VIM. Udelhoven, of Platte
vile. Mr.. Udelhoven made overtures
looking to a settlement, as he was
not looking for a lawsuit, and the
whole matter was settled last week
Wednesday By the terms, as re-
ported to The Herald, Mr.. Udelhoven
takes the wounded horse and pays
S75 FOR it. While the horse was
badly wounded, it IS thought he will
get about well and have few years
of usefulness before him.

Psychology Of Practice.

The question of short versus long
periods of practice in training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
of work Is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. X. 8. Lashley
OF Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton of skill in archery was selected
as the subject of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another twenty shots per day;
and the third. forty shots. The re.
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only FIVE times day
improved In accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either OF the other groups
for the same amount of improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
"The relatively greater efficiency OF
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is In accordance with
the results OF the study Of animals
and of speech habits in man. and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man. the
length of practice periods required is
usually too great for maximum eli.
ficiency"-Scientiflc American.
