There are some characters who ever
bear about the cheerfulness Of fine
summer mornings; everything about
them laughs and sings, even their tears
have the luster OF fresh shower.
What blessing are such characters
amid the somber things Of earth.

Seek peace in the home, it is worth
more than all the world beside. Part
with everything else before you sur

Doing nothing for others is the UNI
doing of ones self. We must be pur.
posey kind and generous or we miss
the best part Of our existence. The
heart that goes out OF itself gets large
and full OF JOY. This is the secret Of
the inner life. We do ourselves the
most good doing something for others.

Unfortunately, men want their
sweethearts to be brilliant and snowy,
and their wives to be domestic and
practical. The girl who understands
how to sew, cook and nurse a sick
child, does not attract single men, and
the superficial belle does not attract
her husband after marriage. Hence
the prevalence Of divorce. Either men
must become more sensible before mar.
riage, more resigned afterward, or
mothers must begin to teach their
daughters in the cradles the necessity
OF combining the useful with the orna-
mental, the PRACTICAL with the enter.
tanning qualities.

A GIRLS BEST FRIENDS

Remember that the best friend, the
best confidant, is your mother. Have
no friend with whom she is not &C.
quainted. Make her interested in what
you are doing, and il the trials OF her
life are many, just remem Ger that to
gain sympathy you must give it. Make
yourself your mothers companion and
friend, then she will be yours. Do
nothing that you conceal from her, and
never believe for a minute that when
you have really made her understand,
she will not care for what interests
you. Mother isn't very much older
than you after all-it hasn't been such
long time since she enjoyed Just
what you do, since life seemed as full
OF brightness as does yours, since she
made as many inquiries and tried to
think out As many problems as you do,
and once you two can meet on this
common ground, be sure that you will
have nobody who will as thoroughly
sympathize with you as does your moth
er.

And his prosperity's not insured
Until he has gone and been manicured,
And they slap massage on his face
Before they allow him to leave the

And they shine his shoes and they

And they treat his scalp and do this

And they handle him with such tender

recurring journalistic phrase, as If the
story of this great conflict could ever
be written. You may be fairly certain
that no one under the rank of ar
archangel, in close touch with omnis
cience, Will ever write the full his
tory of the world war. Down below

isn't the time. There will come sec
tional accounts. But if in the fullness
of time world syndicate succeeds in
getting some million tons of print
within covers, the public will Zone
hopes) be thinking of something else
Yet the literature of the war as a
personal drama is the domain of the
private soldier, and the best letters
from the front have been written by
the private soldier. On that side OF
the literature of war the editor of the
Book Monthly has his eye Hei is q
specialist on the "Epistles of Atkins,

accounts we would monopolize the
meat business of the county, but this
we can't afford to, do so we will not
bother with credit trade. And the
beauty of it is, no one has asked for
credit. The great majority of peo-
pie are willing to pay the cash for
what they buy, provided the price is
right. And surely our price is right.
There are butchers who cater to the
credit trade for the reason that peo-
pie who buy on credit are more liber-
al buyers and don't count the nickels
and dimes like those who pay cash.
Many of them never expect to pay,
SO why should they worry about the
price. Meat selling at 25 cents per
pound is just as cheap to them as
meat selling at Is cents per pound
But someone must pay for those who
do not. Bear this in mind, those of
you who are honest and pay your
bills.
To set at rest the minds of those
Of our patrons who are worrying
about the Good Old Summer Time"
thinking that in warm weather we
will not be able to look after their
meat wants, we will assure them
that they need not be alarmed. We
have already taken care of this with
our Denver house, who informed us
that years of experience in the meat
business had equipped them with a
knowledge of the proper methods for
handling meats in the summer as
well as in the winter, and for us to
Just go ahead taking orders and as
sure the public that we will not fail
them during the summer months.
There are no changes in the price
list printed below from the prices
quoted last week. 1t may be a good
idea, though, for you to keep the
prices in mind by occasionally con-
sulting this list, although it really is
not necessary. You know what you
have been paying for meats, so Just
deduct from 10 to IL cents a pound
from these prices and you will then
know what our prices are. If your
friends are not familiar with the
meat bargains we print each week,
just pass them the list as they, no
doubt, are as desirous of saving mon
ey as you:

That is the reason we are selling

BILE for those only in moderate cir
cumstances to enjoy this food nee

novation of a newspaper handling
meats, We are actuated by a purpose
that not alone offers an opportunity
to make money, bbut to rescue the
people from a damnable system of
extortion. In this connection we can

The gathering of the many at the

old market days IN the long ago, when
with basket on your arm you would
go to the place where the farmers
unloaded the choicest foods from ma.
ture's storehouse, and there for the
small sum of fifty cents or a dollar,
buy enough provisions to stock the
family larder for a week. In those
days of moderate prices it was easy
to live and a pleasure to buy.
We are now catering to the meat
wants of between $50 and 100 patrons
and as the number is steadily in
creasing, it should not be long be-
tore We are supplying meat to at
least 500 families. The farmers are
commencing to buy meat at the OBJ
server office. One told us he couldn t
figure how he could afford to raise
pigs for his own consumption as
cheaply as we sell this meat. He
said there was nothing in raising
calves and selling them for and 10
cents a pound dressed, the retailers
selling them for 25 to 80 cents a
pound.
