The Paying of Bills

What proportion of the people pay
cash for their goods ?
One social Investigator found that
about 60 per cent of the people pay
their bills within thirty days, % per
cent, take from one to three months,
40 per cent never pay in full, and per
cent never pay at all.
This city investigator also found that
if women bought their goods for cash,
if they bought in quantities and watch
ed weights carefully, about 25 per cent
might be deducted from the price Of
goods.
About ten billions Of dollars is spent
every year to keep up 20, 600, 900 Amer
lean homes. If the saving in purchas-
ing goods for cash was only 5 per cent,
the total would be no less than $780,
600, 600 annually A sum so large one
can hardly comprehend it. Men and
women should be taught how to buy,
and to pay cash, says one socia
scientist. if the cost of living in thi:
country is to be reduced materially.

|. 0. 0. F. DISTRICT CONVENTION
Presence of Past Representative OF
Sovereign Grand Lodge and of the
Grand Master Contribute Much
10 the Interest and Benefit
of the Meeting,
LARGE ATTENDANCE

Friday, March II, 1916, proved an
eventful day for the Odd Fellows of
this section. one TO be recalled with I'M
restrained satisfaction 1t was the oc-
cesion of the holding in this city of the
convention for District No. 80 of the
State of Wisconsin, the district com
pfising the lodges of Barneveld. Dodge
vile, Linden. Livingston, Montfort,
Miffiin and Mineral Point.
The convention was called to order
by President. VIM. Skaife, of Living
stpn. Delegates of all the lodges were
present. The Grand Master of the
| State Of Wisconsin. Judge Mahoney of
lacrosse. and past representative of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge, Kohorn of
| Milwaukee, were also present. and help
ed materially in making the convention
resultant in grand success. Members
from outside the city numbered thirty
five-too many to remember their
names.
! The afternoon session was devoted to
buAness and instructions for the good
and welfare Of the order. At the elect
ion of officers for the coming year, w.
Pedley of this city was chosen as presi-
dent.
The evening session was again open
ed for the good of the order. after
which Iowa Lodge. No. /, of this city,
exemplified the first degree to the
pleasure and satisfaction of the large
number present, and which was com
plimented by the Grand Master as be-
ing praise-worthy, even laudable.
After the first session the home lodge
escorted visiting members to Peters
Restaurant where a substantial delec-
talae meal was served; and after the
evenings doings were closed banquet
was served to all present in the dining
room of the local lodge hall, after
which all departed expressing them
selves as having good and profitable
tine.

THE DONATION PROBLEM

| Lancaster had rousing business
mems meeting one evening last week.
Among other praiseworthy matters
acted upon was the donation problem.
| and as result committee was APP
! pointed to look into the credentials of
| out-of-town solicitors who come seek.
| ing aid for one thing or another.
1t would not be amiss, it would be
proper in fact, to adopt and vigorously
| carry out move of this kind in Min
eral Point. Every year our business
men of all grades are pestered with
numberless persons soliciting aid for
some project or other 1t might be for
something within our state, but whole
lot of it is for institutions, etc, in var
ious other states.
The solicitor generally hits someone
who may be considered rather easy. I"
That is a starter. With that name
heading the list he scurries around
town. The list grows. The dollars,
halves, quarters and dimes begin to
jingle. The next morning Mr.. Solicitor
leaves and that is the end of it.
These beggars are usually armed with
enough credentials to brighten st. Pet
er, but the average merchant must
take them for what they are worth
how can he know what this signature
is worth, or what the O. X. of this or
ganization means.
Such committee to investigate all
solicitors coming into the city would be
a proper move; this committee to go
into each thoroughly. and should the
proposition seeking aid merit any sup
port the solicitor be given card Of
endorsement from the committee.

For eighty-five years if not longer,
the section Of country now known as
Southwestern Wisconsin has been class
ed as mining district. Throughout
this long stretch of time mining has
been necessarily prosecuted with vary
ing success one in ten making good
tbs roughly estirlate~ yet great has
been the toll and hardship with hope
always at high par. Notwithstanding
all this, today is the most prosperous
period for the miner in this section in
all these years. That the great Euro
pean war is the prime cause is generally
conceded
With jack ranging from $50 to $l0t
per ton, bone three to four times high
er than ordinary and lead ruling from
$775 upwards, and with better faciIi-
ties for getting out the ores than ever
before, many are the miners likely to
be independently circumstanced ere
long. And what class is more worthy :?
None
The most condensed industrial center
in the entire Wisconsin field connected
with the mining business is found here
in the big works operated by the Min
eral Point Zinc company. At the oxide
works, one department, 800 men alone
are required to keep the plant going
day and night. No time is ever cut out
for holiday or repairs.

Conrad, second tenor, clarionetist and
