every One WANTS
MONEYS WORTH
Natural Desire Is Not to Get the
Worst of Any Business
Transaction.
CHEAPEST NOT ALWAYS BEST
Person Who Buys From Catalogue
House Sees Only the Price and
Foroets That Value Is Thing
That Counts.
(Copyright.)


When you spend your money you
naturally want to get all you can in
return. No one can criticize you for
having that desire. Only those who
are commonly referred to as having
"more money than sense throw their
money away. All others are careful to
see that they do not get the worst of
any bargain. But one has to be able
to look farther than the end of his
nose if he is to be sure that he is get
ting the most that he can get for his
money.
That is the defense of the man who
buys from the mail order house instead
of patronizing the merchants in his
own town. He says he can get more
for his money when he buys from the
mail order man than when he spends
his money at home. But in arriving
at that conclusion he certainly has not
been able to look further than the end
of his nose.
In most cases the man who buys
goods from a mail order house does
SO because he thinks he is getting the
goods for less money than he would
have to pay for them at the store in
his own town. He thinks he is look
ing out for No. 1 and he says it is
not his fault if the merchant in his
town cannot make any money and is
forced to go out of business. He over
looks the fact that he is likely to be
as hard hit as anyone else when that
merchant closes his doors but, leav-
ing that probability out of considera-
ton, the chances are about 10 to that
the buyer has really lost money on his
deal with the mail order man.
Price Not Only Consideration.
If buying an article Of any kind,
whether it be a house and lot or a pa.
per Of pins, the price is not the only
thing to be considered by any means.
You are not in the habit of going into
a store when you want to buy a suit of
clothes and saying to the storekeeper:
"Give me the cheapest suit of clothes
you have in the house." You want the
best suit Of clothes you can get for the
price you pay for it, but you don't
usually want the cheapest thing you
can find.

JIMTOWN GOES OVER TOP:

Jamestown, Grant County, Wis,

$10,5OOOO.
What'e the matter with Jamestown?
He is all right. No lame duck. It is
a he. "He" has always been used to
indicate Patriotism, virility, nobility
of character, defense Of virtue, the
terror Of vice in whatever manner or
form. Little JimtoWn (for it lacks
four sections of being full town
ship is now Big jamestown. What is
lacking in quantity is more than made
up in quality. So far five volunteers
and 16 drafted men have left James
town to go at the nations bidding in
to the very jaws Of death to vindicate
our program and to bring new lustre
to Old Glory.
Jamestown has given the nation it's
youth. And it has not stopped there.
It has supplied the other stamina. It
has purchased Liberty bonds to the
amount of $45, 500, besides thousands

A man may delude himself into be.
lieving that when he buys a suit of
clothes from mail order house for
$40 he is saving money, but what is
there to justify him in such q belief
The mere fact that he is getting a suit
for $40 does not mean that he is saw
ing money. The chances are that II
he should go to the man who runs the
clothing store in his own town and
ask for it he could get suit of clothes
for $40 and the chances are also that
it would be just as good If not bet
ter bargain than. the suit which he
could get from the mail order house
for the same sum. 1t is not the price
he pays that shows whether he is get
ting bargain or not. 1t is the quail
ity of goods that he gets for his money
that counts.
Can UnderseiI Mail Order House.
The home merchant can sell as
cheaply as the mail order man if he
sells as cheap goods as the mail order
man sells. His expenses are not as
heavy as those of the mail order man.
He pays less rent in proportion to
the business he does, his taxes are less
in proportion to the capital invested.
His advertising bills are less than
those Of the mail order man in proper
ton to the volume of his sales. He
can undersell the mail order man any
day in the year If he wishes to sell
only goods of the same quality and
style of those sold by the mail order
man, but he doesn't do this because he
knows that the majority Of the people
in his town do not want that quality
and style Of goods. Therefore he keeps
in stock goods Of all qualities and all
prices. He has the $40 suit for the
man who thinks that he can get more
for his money by buying a suit at that
price than he can by buying a better
one for $50, but he tells the customer
just what he is buying.
The next time you think about buy
ing something from a mail order house,
If you ever do think of such a thing,
go first to your home merchant and
ask to see the article which you are
thinking Of buying.
Ready to Compare Prices.
Your home merchant is a business
man. He gets the best values he can
for his money when he buys goods, and
he does not expect his customers to
do anything else. All that he asks, in
return for the favors he does his Gus
toners and the things he does for the
good of his community is that he be
given an opportunity to meet the in
sidious competition of the mail order
house. He is perfectly willing to have
his prices and his values compared to
those Of the mail order house, but he
has a just complaint when he is not
given a chance to make this COMPARE
son.
If all buyers would take the value as
well as the price Of the article they
are buying into consideration, the mail
order houses would all go out of BUSH
GeSs tomorrow.

RED CROSS SUPPER
AT BRITISH HOLLOW

The Red Cross supper given at the
Dist. No. 4 British Hollow school by
the ladies Of the district and Miss
Ethel Schumacher, teacher, was a
bowling success. We certainly owe

supper and program. The proceeds
were $105.
The program was as follows: Song
America; Patriotic addresses by
Mr.. Royce, T. E. Bray, Rev. Scheffer,
j. G. Ragatz, Rev. Phillips, J. G.
Brockert, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. J. Key,

Paris Vital Statistics.

According to the records at the office
of William J. Wheeler, town clerk, there
were born In Paris during the year 1917,
IS children, of whom % were boys and
AZ were girls. This reverses the ratio OF
the sexes from what it has been In some
previous years.
There were recorded 81 marriages, per-
formed here and elsewhere. In 10 OF
these cases both parties were residents
Of Paris. In 81 only one of the parties
was q resident of Paris. This indicates
that so residents of the town entered q
state of matrimony during the year. In
nine of the marriages one party Was .
resident of Paris and the other Of Nor
way. In IA of the marriages neither
party was . resident of the town.
The number of deaths In town was 81,
though the record bears the names OF
numerous others who were brought
here for burial. This makes . death
rate of less than IL to the thousand, but
We might perhaps to be exact have to
reckon some residents of the town who
died while absent at hospitals or other
institutions for treatment.
The oldest person who died was Mrs.
Anna NJ. Whitman, who was SO. The
