Grandmother.
She knew how much she had to
spend and what she must get with It.
The prices must be within her means,
She refused to listen to the voice OF
the charmer when she desired some
thing moro expensive than she could
afford. She made day or two days
of her purchases, for she bought for
the winter when she bought. and not
until the next delivery" Grand
mother carried home her bundles In
the bottom OF tho big sleigh box. She
had no telephone. Her purchases were
personally conducted with the goods
under her eyes. And as to weights che
took her old fashioned steel yards
when she got home and verified the

man she had traded with. but as a
matter OF business as she would have
deed examined. She wanted to
know.
Somehow or other grandmother and
grandmother's children were always
warmly clad and her house was a
mighty good place to eat at. Still
that old lady never knew what a car

cornmeal mush or huckwheat cakes

but all cooked in the house, no pre-
digested fodder at granndma's. She
didn't buy beans by the pound but by
the half or full bushel and she cooked
them herself Rather primitive? May
be, but awfully good just the same.
And then corn was high at IS cents
a hundred out of the field. and wages
ran from s1.o5 for twelve hour day
for common labor to 81 day for a
skilled carpenter or mechanic But

comfortable home.
How did she do It? Looking back

der IS, how did she do 1t? But she
did.
OF course, there was grandfather.
Grandfather smoked Gamecock tobacco
in clay pipe Of An evening. as he sat
by the cook stove with the elevated
oven. He didn't drop in and buy two
bits worth Of cigars once or twice a
day. OF course, they had their own
milk and butter. but they MIXED the
cows and churned in order to have it
The division Of labor hadn't reached
to the point where he got his butter
from the creamery and bought the

house and been shipped back as hams.
Maybe al THAT was primitive, but 1t
delivered the goods. They had but
ter and milk and ham and sausage
and such like, and their only kick was
that the price Of those essential COM
modities wasn't high enough.
Just the same they did 1t. They
! lacked most Of our modern convent
ences," most Of which are luxuries. but
they lived we'll and comfortably.
! Perhaps 1t was because they paid so
much personal attention to their own
particular business Of taking care OF
themselves, making the most Of what
they had and staying inside what they
were able to have. Maybe that was IT,

Our revenue laws should be revissl to
place the tax upon the purchase OF
luxurles. Extravaganza In buying Is
the crime of the hour. Let's discourage
the non essentials by placing tho tax
there. He who objects to this tax can
refuse to buy which will benefit him
and the general public alike.
