with an occasional mention of names.
However, in this instance, we feel
moved to make an exception in the
case of that sterling citizen of Salters,
Mr.. j. G. LiFrage, who, by all stand
ards, of human reckoning is entitled
to what tribute we can pay him here.
For continuous service, there are
perhaps few men in the postal service
who can equal the record of Mr.. Ii
Frage. For nearly Al years he has
served the people of Salters as post
master faithfully and efficiently, for
which service, in addition to his sala-
ry, he has merited the admiration and
adulation of his patrons from one gen.
Grafton to another. Mr.. LiFrage if of
Grafton to another. Mr.. LiFrage is Of
French extraction, his forbears having
fed that country to escape the Hugue-
not prosecutions prevalent in Europe
FIVE generations ago. His ancestors
first settled at what is now known as
Thorne's Mill and four generations
of them are buried at Frierson's bury
ing ground, few miles from Salters.
Citizenship being an asset Of social
wealth, the example of Mr.. LiFrage
is worthy of commendation to those
who are enjoying and also to those
who will subsequently attain the
rights of free. men in free republic
with the obligations that inhere in
such an estate.
1t is understood that desirable
home sites ere available in and around
Salters. The merchants whose ads ap-
pear on this page will be glad to an
swer inquiries of prospective citizens
regarding the advantages which this
section of Williamsburg enjoys and
to welcome them in the event that
they should decide to locate in this
prosperous section.

Borrowing From Banks

Lack of capital has much to do with
holding back the country. Money is
of more importance to the farmer than
to the majority of other classes. With
the merchant and with many other
lines of business in which the pro-
prietor or manager runs on borrowed
capital, the item of interest is an
amount of small Importance, since
they have several turnovers during
the year. With the farmer the item
of interest takes on different aspect.
The rate of interest he has to pay on
the money he borrows is an extreme
ly serious matter.
His business is so hazardous and so
dependent on elements not under his
control and his rate of turnover so
slow, that to him loan is an invest
ment of much import.
But it takes money to produce
money. Especially is this true in the
farming business. The farmer that
can borrow money at a reasonable rate
of interest and uses business ability
in his investments is the one that
moves forward. =
The farmers appearance and man.
ner, initiative and self-reliance, in
dustry, character, and personal his
tory are a few of the things that are
taken into consideration by the bank
er in making a loan. And the farmer
that "looks good" to his banker is
usually able to secure loan at a rate
of interest that will enable him to
make a neat profit on his investment.
When the risk is greater the rate of
interest is increased to "Suit the oc-
casion."
| make it a practice to borrow
money from the bank. | find it pref
cradle to borrowing from private
parties; also, it is to be preferred to
'time- prices" and the customary
methods of asking your merchant to
credit you. Borrowing from the bank
is a business proposition. Asking cded-
it elsewhere is a questionable prac-
