To Our Customers.

~ OuA Oh1NOAAAiAo
In conducting the mercantile bust
ness there are probably a great many
points not usually taken into consid-
GRAFTON by those not in the business,
and among the most important of
these is that of whether to do q
credit or cash business.
Our method has always been to
buy in large quantities for spot cash
and to sell the most goods for the
least money, with the very maximum
of good service. How well we have
lived up to that motto we leave to
the judgment of u customers,
There is no one infalliblc and that we
have made mistakes we admit, but
that our motto was a wise one is az.
tested to by the very liberal patron
age we have enjoyed.
We are justly proud of our bust.
ness, proud of our store, and GLAD
we have had the good fortune in he
ing located in as good town as Lords
burg. Very few towns are as good
when everything is taken into on.
%sideration; few towns enjoy the
high class patronage that Lords
burg does, and we contend that no
where are people more honest and
reliable than ours; no more worthy
of credit. We have taken that into
consideration and have looked at the
credit feature of u business from
every angle, and after careful con
sideration we have come to the con-
clusion that in justice to our patrons,
and ourselves, we should do a strict
ly 30-day business, which is equiva-
lent to cash.
In making this change we are not
questioning the honesty or ability to
pay of our patrons, but do it to en-
able us to meet any legitimate COM
petition, and to allow US to save our
customers the difference between the
price of goods sold for cash and those
sold for credit. Therefore, on and
after June 1st this store will sell
strictly on a 30-day basis, that is,
goods purchased during the month
will be due and payable on or before
the 10th Of the month following. No
favorites will be played; VIC will en-
deavor to treat all exactly alike, and
to sell you goods for less money than
heretofore, whenever that may be
possible.
In conclusion, we wish to thank you
for the time spent in reading his
and to express u heartiest appreci-
alton of your past, and we hope
future, patronage.
Hoping to have the pleasure Of a
visit from you, and again thanking
you, We are.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Liberal we are giving notice of
the discontinuance of long term
accounts. We deem it necessary
to take this step on account of
the high cost of all merchandise
at the present time and of the
fact that numerous persons have
taken advantage of the privilege
allowed which sometimes causes
us the loss of large accounts.
In this new arrangement we
hope to give you better service
and by it can afford to sell our
goods at a smaller margin of
profit.

Proper Food for Weak stomnchs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every. one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
1t Is Now Confined Chiefly to Profes-
SIGNALS, Drunkards and Phono.
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing, as far as most people are
concerned, is a lost art. Thousands
attend operas, recitals and musical
comedies, tens Of thousands wind up
monographs; but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people Of all ranks sang together
as a matter of course. Sailors sang ut
their work. peasants, shepherds, cow
boys-all had their favorite and ap-
prOpriate songs. The songs Of chill
dren at games, the lullabies Of moth
ers are in the collected ballads and
folklore Of many peoples, says the In
dianapOlis News.
"The pastimes and the labors of the
h%usbandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, "were long ago a kind
of natural opera. Each task had Its
own song; blowing, seeding, harvest.
burial-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul of the
peasant class breathes in their bur-
lens as the great sea resounds In the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whlrl Of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers In
mills might find 1t unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but 1t Is doubtful II they
would sing ever If their voices could
be heard; while singing in an office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the boss" or the police. Thou
sands congregate every night in the
silence of moving picture theaters. and
In the churches where singing by
the congregation used to be customary
the attendants now usually listen In
silence to a paid singer.
Singing In this age Is largely con-
fined to the professional performer.

Crows Holding Their Own.

There has been hostility between the
farmers and the crows ever since there
were farmers In New England, but the
number Of crows, so far as anyone
knows, has not decreased. They are
efficient, they are able to care for
themselves and are likely to hold their
own, no matter how much the popula-
ton may increase. More than that,
despite the severity of winter, each
crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfect
ly at home and ~contented with its sur
rOundings. The English sparrows and
the starlings may seek shelter during
severe weather, but, no matter how
cold or stormy it may be, n finds
the crow doing business as usual. If
the quail and ruffed grouse were as
hardy and intelligent and possessed
with an equally catholic taste for food,
a whole volume of game laws might
be done away with.

PLANS TO CONTROL
BEAN ANTHRACN0SE
Seed Selection Is Most Important
Spraying With Bordeaux
Mixture Favored.

(By OTTO A. REINKING. Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Bean anthracnose, a fungus disease
common at certain portions of the sea-
son upon the wax and green
beans, causes spotting of the pods and
growing parts. The disease first ap-
pears as a small purplish d%iscolora-
ton which later develops into a larger
spot with a darkened sunken center
bordered by a light-brown ring. Spots
can run together, forming irregular
sunken areas During certain stages.
a pink mass Of spores is formed in
the center of each spot. The fungus
penetrates through the pod into the
bean seeds, the latter often becoming
dlscolored or spotted.
Various control methods can be
used. Seed selection is the most impor-
tant. Seeds should only be used from
healthy pods, preferably grown on
fields where little disease is present.
1t Is practically impossible to select
clean seed, except by taking those
from healthy pods.
Spraying with bordeaux mixture,
$3.50 formula, is advised when the
disease appears early, and If practi-
cable. Burning Of infected material,
and rotation of crops is important.

individual cost Of producing those prod
ucts.
I'm the past this difference between
the selling price and the supposed cost
Of production has been wide enough SO
that practically any farmer, regard
less of his training, experience and
skill, could make a living. The margin
Of profit has been growing smaller each
year.
"When profits were relatively easily
secured In generous amounts, the
farmer could guess as to which lines Of
production were worth while, but now
that margins have become So small,
some way Of keeping an account Of his
business is absolutely necessary IL he
would be certain Of making the profit
