Wesson, Miss, for burial at Wesley,
Ill, as was her desire. Mrs. Fischer

Of Rockville, Kankakee county, Ill,
and died of heart failure. Besides her
son Logan of this city, she is sur
vived by one son and two daughters,
three brothers and two sisters.
Word was received yesterday morn
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Harrington
from Chester Tucker, who is located
in the barracks at Columbus, Ohio,
which will account for his friends not
hearing from him for some time.
While returning from town one even
ing recently he was attacked and ter
ribly slugged by some thugs and
dragged to the railroad yards where
he was later found in a precarious
condition. He is now in hospital
at Columbus and from reports as to
his condition bids fair to recover from
his terrible experience. From the
meager reports received we judge it
a miracle that he was not killed out
right.
J. A. Huff Of No. Lancaster, was
here Thursday on business. He has
one Of the finest farm places in Grant

The Journal says:
Fritz Rotzell is suffering with two
broken ribs the result of an autOmo-
bile accident a couple of weeks ago.
Mr.. Rotzell did not realize that he had
so injured himself until day or so
ago, but the pain increased so, as he
continued work, that he consulted a
physician and found that he had brok-
en- the ribs.

The following illustration will prove
that the consumer can save more
money by trading with his home mer-
chant by the use Of discount for
cash" plan.
All bills will be due, net in thirty
days; but if paid at the time of pur-
chase or in TEN DAYS, a discount of
2 per cent on the dollar is allowed.
If the account is not paid in sixty
days, it will bear interest at the rate
of 8 per cent per annum until
paid.
Now, observe how, by this dis
count for Cash Plan" you will avoid
the necessity of having to advance the
price of many of your goods that have
been effected by the rising costs, while
the consumer may continue to buy
goods at the old price and in addi-
ton, realize a direct saving of 2 per
cen on every dollar for cash within
ten days.
Let us take linoleum for example.
Suppose you want linoleum to cover
a floor 12x15, or 20 so. yards. The
price of best quality linoleum has al
yet you are paying 5 cents more per
square yard for linoleum today than
you were buying it for few months
ago. By doing a little figuring you
will see that your 20 square yards of
linoleum at 65 cents would cost you
$500; but which, by our Discount
for Cash Plan," allowing you dis
count of 2 per cent if paid within ten
days, would only be $1274. Now sup
pose that, instead of selling you your
linoleum at 65 cents and allowing you
a discount of 2 per cent for cash, we
advance the price of our linoleum 5
cents, allowing ourselves no addition
al margin however, but mel ely to keep
apace with the rise in wholesale cost,
Your 20 yards of linoleum would cost
you $14.00 instead Of $12.74, or ex-
actly $1.26 more than by our obs
count for Cash Plan"
Let us take another very common
article and a necessity in every home
cotton felt mattresses. We will take
for example a cotton felt mattress
which sold for $1025. Owing to the
great advance in cotton, this same
mattress is costing $3.50 more than it
did last spring, and yet we have not
advanced the price one cent. By our
new system we will be able to con-
tinue selling you this mattress for
$10.25 less 2 per cent for cash, or
$10.05. Suppose now, we advance the
price Of this mattress $3.50, and to
this we add 20 per cent of the advance
in wholesale cost to help meet our
overhead expenses and allow us a
small profit on our additional invest
ment, making the retail price $12,O5-
just $500 more than by our Discount
for Cash Plan"
I will now use this last example
again to see if this plan will benefit

Last week story was circulated
to the effect that Grant Bohringer had

That was either "some mistake
about Sam Kouri's weight as given in
last weeks Grant County Herald in
a bunch of draft statistics or else
Sam has fallen away terribly in the
last few weeks since he left here and
went to Oklahoma. The Herald said
Sam was the lightest man in class 1
that he weighed but LOT pounds; but
when he left here Sam was about as

mainly as you usually see, and weigh

the man who allows his account to
run longer than 80 days and is charg-
ed per cent interest on his account.
It is an absolute certainty that
the merchant must advance the re-
tail price Of his goods to keep up with
rising costs unless, as stated above, he
can increase the volume of his cash
business and limit his book accounts.
And this advance in price must be
paid by the consumer.
Suppose now, that Mr.. Harris buys
mattress at the old price, $1025,
and we are obliged to carry his &C
count for five months-or three
months after it begins bearing inter
est at s per cent We will have to
charge Mr.. Harris $1O.25 plus 20
cents interest or $1O45 By our new
system, Mr.. Harris will have helped
us to carry his account and we in turn
will have saved him the difference
in the cost Of the mattress, with in
terest added, between $1O45 and
$12.05, as shown above, or $16O.
Now, Mr.. Buyer, don't you really
believe that the cash purchasing plan
is helpful with Keeping Up With
the Rising Costs"
Let US remember that your local
dealer is right on the ground floor
and ready at all times to extend a
helping hand. He helps in taking
care of your roads; he helps in build
ing churches which are for the bet
terment Of the community in which
you live; he also helps you in getting
good schools for your children. All
these things we do not get from "out-
siders."
Why not get right down to bust
ness and spend your dollars with the
home merchant? It's duty you owe
to yourself and your children, for
every dollar you send away very sell
dom comes back, but the dollar spent
in your own town has an opportunity
in making your community more pros
porous which will ma -urally increase
the valuation of your own property,
and is it not true that many dollars
have been spent away and instead of
you reaping the benefit the "out-
siders' have been putting up large
buildings and mansions. "On whose
money!" Think it over! Then
THINK 1T OVER AGAIN
We must not overlook the most i'm
portant point and that is the mer-
chant should and is entitled to all the
business that can be given him by the
people of his own community and
should be given first consideration
There is no doubt in my mind that
your home merchant is able to com
pete with the far away concern if
given the same amount Of an order
which you would send away with the
ready cash.

FayorS Death Penalty

Washington, April 15-Senator Lee s. Oyerman, of North Carolina, head of the Senate judiciary committee, stated this afternoon that he proposed a death penalty for the many acts of espionage. For two days Senator Over- man and the others of his committee have heard the testimony of the gov ernment agents in charge of the anti spy work.
 The government agents all agree that when spies are lined up at navy yard, at an army post or even at any Of the many cantonments, and shot. not informed, the spy and espionage acts will lose much of it's charm. The fed eral agents are against imprisoning any of the spies found guilty and de- mand the death penalty. The officers have told of many arrests and the spies have quickly said: "Oh, now for the internment camps, where we will not have to work any more at our busi- paSe 1

OUR DRAFT QUOTA

On Wednesday of this week the Local Board received telegram which said: "Your net current quota is 13 men. It is estimated that you will be called upon between 1st and 18th of June to induct these men into service.'
 At the same time the board also re- ceived another telegram which said: "In order to prevent hardship resulting to registrants temporarily employed in seasonal occupations-such as fishery, and miners who are necessary to the prosecution of the industry in which they are engaged, and which. if such employment were permanent, would entitle them to deferred classification it is desired that local boards defer the induction of all such registrants until the close of the season for the industry in which such registrant is employed.'
 Orders from the provost marshal general, received since most of the physical examinations were made. calls for all registrants to be rated into four classes, according to their showing on examination, and this order necessi- tates the going over of all the papers relating to physical examinations and this will take some little time, and those who are put into Class B or Class C will be deferred until all of Class l, under questionnaires, and Class A, under the physical examination, are exhausted.
 Until it is known who is deferred under this physical re-rating, and, also, who is deferred under the occupational claims, the list of men who go to make up the contingent cannot be known.
 Those who desire to avail themselves of deferred classification as miners must file the affidavit of themselves and also of their employer, showing that they are actually employed and necessary to the prosecution of the industry in which they are engaged. These afidavits must be filed with Dr. J. Wilson Reed, at Flat, on or before Wednesday noon, May Is, as tho board will meet that day and make up the contingent for the quota.
 At the present time only two men are known to be in the quota: William Leo Touchette (No. 4, and John Elias Edwards (No. 14), both of Ophir. The full list will be published in next weeks s issue of The Pioneer,

Cegura, with two partners, has been engaged at woodcutting for Riley dur ing the past winter. It is alleged that Cegnra had recently applied to Riley to recognize his (Cegura's) Individual ownership in the wood to the exclu- sion of his partners, giving as his req son that his partners were indebted to him. Riley endeavored to make it plain to Cegura that he could not ac- cede to his request unless he had the permission of the partners. Last week Cegura, while in Iditarod consulted an attorney, who advised him along the same lines as did Riley. He left the attorney in apparently, satisfied state of mind, and as he was leaving he lawyers office spoke of Riley in 8 kindly way, as if he understood and sympathized with him (Riley), who he realized was carrying 8 tremendous load of care and responsibility.
