He said, ma'am, he waited at the

And he'd no more than gone when
the phone rings and Mr.. Cosby asks

you come home. He said it's most
important and that he wouldn't ask
only he needs you special and with

Bertha ran it all so breathlessly

AT that moment the elevator ar

1t need not be. But in your case,
since you are so very young, would
it not be wiser to defer your mar

]. Y. BRANDS, JR.

A paper has just reached our table
telling of the death of ]. x. Brands,
who passed away recently in New
York City. He was son of ]. x.
Brands, Sr., who lived in this valley
so many years. ]. X. Brands, Jr.,
early went into the printing business
and became one of the noted sales
men of printing machinery of this
country. One of his friends wrote of
him: "He knew the craft. He had set
type, had run every kind of a press
from the old Washington hand-press
to the big rotary. He had been sue
cessively foreman, superintendent and
business manager of the plant where
he had started as a boy. Then he
went to the big city and larger tasks
were laid on him. He was such a
good printing machinery salesman that
he was sent to Spokane to run a
group of type and printers supply
houses, with paper, ink and ready
print business as 'side-lines.' Brought
back to Chicago he was made credit
manager. The East beckoned and he
became New York manager for a large
manufacturer of plate-making machin-
cry. In 1913 he went around the
world selling printing machinery,
making one sale which amounted to
$100,00000. He understood men and
liked them and they liked him. He
corresponded regularly with his boys
at the front. He was interested in
many things. He could play-had
played-every instrument in the band;
was fond of history, and good set
of TOOLS. But through and above it
all, he was a simple-hearted, warm
hearted man. Quietly he lived, and
now he lies in the quiet graveyard
with his ancestors. Eternal rest is
his and perpetual light shines upon
him."
J. X. Brands, Jr., had visited in
Wausau with his father and his quiet
dignified bearing and keen knowledge
of things in general, and withal, pleas
ant genial ways, attracted many to
him.

ILLUSTRATIVE OF
INCREASED VALUES

The st. Louis Lumberman gives an
interesting illustration to show the
increased buying power of the farm
ers today .as compared with twenty
years ago. A Missouri farmer, it
says, went to a general store to buy
a buggy. The price of the buggy he
wanted was 500. The farmer objected,
that his father twenty years ago
had bought one just like it for $50
and with better methods of turning
them out he should not have to pay
more. Fortunately, here was one of
the few merchants who kept records
and he hunted up his ledger of twen-
ty years ago and found that the faith
er had not paid cash but had turned
in three hundred bushels of corn for
sixty dollar buggy. The merchant
then turned to the son and said: "De-
liver me the three hundred bushels of
corn and 1 will give you in turn $50
buggy, a SIS wagon, $40 suit of
clothes, a $40 dress, a S. baby dress,
$5 crib, $40 worth of sugar, $19
worth of tea, $100 worth of gasoline
and SIS worth Of lubricating oil, a
total of $3.50 as the present value of
that many bushels of corn. AS the
farmer was not setting up a store of
his own, he decided to pay cash for
the buggy.

OBSERVE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S
BIRTHDAY

Nearly all of the Wisconsin schools,
which each year observe the annivers-
ary of Benjamin Franklin's birthday,
had special exercises on Friday, these
exercises combining a thrift program
with the Franklin program.
Notification was sent out, asking all
school principals to make special
observance of the 1919 Thrift cam
paign, and many of the schools will
observe this. Other schools which
through the delay in mail delivery in
some districts, could not incorporate
them properly in their exercises this
week, will do so on Friday of the next
week, giving the entire program to
the thrift campaign.
Friday marked the 213th annivers-
ary of the birth of Americas apostle
of thrift, Benjamin Franklin. His say
ings on thrift have never been equaled
by those of any other philosopher, and
are today by words in many American
homes. For instance: 'PlOw deep
while sluggards sleep and you shall
have corn to sell and to keep; MAKE
no expense but to do good to Others
or yourself; i. e., waste nothing"
