HITS FROM SHARP WITS

How much easier 1t is to avoid debt
ors than creditors.
If man is a fool there is no such
thing as keeping quiet.
There is always an even chance
that what is put off will not be done
at all.
When some folks say they want a
chance they mean they want an adj
vantage.
There probably is no fool like an
old fool, with the single exception of
young fool.
The less there is to be said on eth
er side the more there is said on
both sides, as a rule.
Scientists say it is the will that
keeps some people alive. The pros
pective heir says so, too.
The teachings of experience are eff
fective only until some other expert
once comes along and upsets them.
Why is it that as soon as a man
does something that is really worth
while his friends imagine he is hungry
and needs a banquet?
Some people go to the moving pic
ture theaters to listen to the gossip
of those sitting near them, while 9TH
ers go to see the pictures.
One of the easiest things that the
average individual does in these days
is to suggest ways and means of re-
forming everything under the sun.
1t is perfectly useless to tell an
other that he is going to make a mis-
take even when you are absolutely
certain. He will believe only when
he finds that he has made it.

The Precise Meaning
Of and Cause for Cut

By j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamakers Philadelphia

When suit of clothes marked down from $50

Therefore the following which will be A. to

Aside the that merely lies prices and

there four contributing for cut price
The which most people already understand of course
is too much stock No buyer tell just what pattern of suit
when is found that article not eagerly bought it is
quickly reduced in price The for this evident to
dwell upon
The second is the financial Every merchant
allows himself each of his buyers much for
stock of goods carried For example, shoe department
which is allowed $4,000 upon which to do business must do
business that much capital The buyer be in the market
for goods certain Of the year. If his capital is
all tied up old stock he will be able buy stock
Therefore he ready capital the expense

The third your mental effect the people who

the who selling it, Again and again the buyer
obliged to cut the price of perfectly good merchandise simply
because you the public made his salesorce lose faith
in it, The moment you won't buy it they can't sell it.
The fourth the interest the investment

Falls in Well and
is Drowned

The following is from the
Great Falls Tribune, under a
Shelby dateIine:
A coroner's inquest was held
by DR.. D. M. Riddle on the body
Of Elmer Peterson. a homestead
er of IS. living near Kelvin, who
was drowned in a well on
his ranch late last week. The
well was about 20 feet deep and
contained about S feet of water.
The opening into the well was
about 16 inches across, and it is
supposed he went out there to
draw water and started to climb
into the well to secure a bucket
that had slipped in, and losing
his grip. fell to the bottom and
could not get out. One shoe
was on and one off. the latter
being held under his arm. 1t is
thought that he started to take
his shoes off in order better to
climb out and took chills from
the cold water and died from
exposure.
Young Peterson was quite
well known in Cut Bank. He
came here frequently to trade
with local merchants and tram
sact banking business. lie was
known as an upright and ener-
getic young farmer. Earl Dial.
who was a near neighbor of his
for couple of years, says he
had just gotten onto a firm fl
nancial footing after a hard
struggle. He speaks very high
ly of the unfortunate fellow.

ProbIblflon Leadeys
HoM Meeting

At a recent meeting of state
prohibition leaders at Billings
the matter Of bringing before
the coming session of the Mon
tana legislature the question of
enacting legislation to make
the state dry" at once was dis
cussed. with opinions OF the
leaders varying somewhat.
A number of the active lead
ers had taken a poll of the sem
timent of the state legislators
and found that the feeling in
this regard was against taking
hasty action. 1t seemed to be
the sentiment that it would be
decidedly unfair to the saloon
interests to work such hardship
on them, by forcing early clos
ing of their places of business.
Others felt that the time that
the law has fixed is too long,
and expressed the opinion that
the people of the state who vot-
ed against the saloons by such
a decisive majority were not
satisfied with the provisio n
granting such long lease of
life.
The argument is also made
that two years will be needed
to prepare for the effective en-
forcement of prohibition. In a
number of counties sheriffs and
other officers have been elected
from whom it would be impos-
sible to secure the strict inforce-
ment of prohibatory law if
one were enacted to 60 into eff
feet at this time.

Out OF Politics

Demers, Mont. Nov. 81.
Editor Pioneer Press:
DemerS is now wrestling with
the problem of the selection of
a Mayor, to succeed Walter
McCallister. who recently de-
parted for his former home.
There are MANY grave munich
pal problems to be settled and
in the absence of a mayor things
are becoming pretty badly
muSsed up. Can you aid us in
the selection of a citizen of this
section who might fill the place
with honor to himself and the
city of Demers?
Constant Reader.
Answer. Mol In t h e first
place the editor of the Pioneer
Press is out of politics-for the
present and for some time in
the future. Secondly. the ed
itor of this sober weekly had a
number of pet candidates in the
recent unpleasantness and with
tears and prayers and heavy ed
itorials sought to put them "over
the line" What did the careless,
flint-hearted voters do? Swatted
.em! So we refuse to mix in
the Demers political mess. AS
far as DemerS goes this paper
is a pale pink neutral.
