Esther had not seen Hyam for
nearly a year, but his absence did
not dull the tenderness of her mem
cries. They had come over to Amer
lea as children together in the same
ship. Esther's father had started
peddling, and Hyam's, who had a lit
tie capital, had opened a tiny store
in the heart Of the Ghetto.
Some day." said Hyam's father
graCioUsly to his old friend, "Our
children shall marry. Esther, wilt
thou take my son to be thy husband
when thou art groWn?"
The little girl, not knowing that
the words were half jOcular, agreed
in solemn, childish fashion. How
ever, fate dispenses as she pleases,
and so it came to pass that both the
fathers died without savings, and Es-
Their, then Is, went to work in big
clothing store, while Hyam secured a
job as an Office boy.
Three years later, Esther, by the
utmost sacrifice, had saved nearly
$500. Hyam heard of this and came
to her.
Esther, do you remember what
our fathers agreed?" he said.
Esther nodded and smiled. She
had always loved Hyam, but he did
not suspect that the bargain he was
to propose had anything romantic
about it.
Lend me your $500, Esther. and
save me 5000 a year" he said. Then
I can go through the dental college
and have a profession. I shall soon
become rich and l will marry you"
It was the sort of bargain common
in the Ghetto. Esther trustfully drew
out her savings and gave them to
Hyam, who, overcome with graft
tUde, kissed her awkwardIy for the
first time. So Hyam went to college
and Esther toiled in the shop. When
ever the other girls laughed at her as

Koch, the owner of the big store,
was a widower. He had begun to
look about him for a wife He hated
loneliness and he had no children.
His eyes fell upon Esther. She at
tracted him immensely. He thought
what a fine wife she would make for
him; how neat and pretty she was.
He began to show her little favors.
He advanced her from the store to
the Office, for Esther was quick and
had already picked up bookkeeping.
One day he asked her to marry him.
Esther was in despair Koch was
worth $4,000, and, as his wife, she

Hyam was in his third year. If she

owes him and cannot pay. In Weisel
there are several merchants in eacl
line of business, and the farmer car
purchase his supplies of any one Of
them. That is not all. He pays
as he goes, and is treated as a cash
customer and the plan has resulted
in ten per cent reduction in prices
to association borrowers. The price
is no longer advanced to play safe
in case portion of the account is
lost or the merchant has to wait too
long for his money.
Some have objected to the interest
charge, but seven per cent lis less
than the bank rate, and the big re-
duction in the price in merchandise
has more than paid the interest to
the people of this sectionwho have
tried the plan. The interest rate is
OPTIONAL with the merchants, but z
per cent per annum is better than
10 or II per cent That rests en-
ttrely, however, with the mem bers of
the association and if they want to
make the drafts non1interest bearing
that is their business. The 7 per
cent rate was adopted by the mer-
chants of Weiser in order to cover
he expense Of the trustee.

Gold Nugget is Buffers Name

From the 262 names submit
ted in the New Era's contest
for naming the Ordway Cream
cry Co.'s butter the name of
Gold Nugget" was chosen. 1t
not only met the approval of the
judges but was declared the
favorite by Mr.. F. P. Roberts,
manager of the creamery COM
pany.
This name was not selected
however, until the long list of
1852 names had been gone over
carefully, not once, but many
times and after several hours
work those names favored were
gone over and over. Finally
this name was selected.
There were names submitted
which may have been even
better, but due to other brands
carrying such a name or one
very similar they could not be
used. So "Gold Nugget" is the
brand of butter made in Crow
ley county.
