Little things make up the sum OF
content, OF industry, of joy and grief
of life. Look for the little things
about the home, about the barn. about
the place. One missing board in the
barn may cause the loss or serious
injury to your best horse or other
valued head of stock. Lack Of prop
er shelter for the early pigs Will
mean the loss Of dollars in pork pro-.
fits later on. II the cribs and gran
cries are not weather and rat-proof,
other losses will be sustained, SO
look after the little things-that's the
way to save money and add to the
sum total of happiness and pleasure,
in the world.

II we are too busy or too "big" to

Give Plants Air and Liuht,

If ported plants are set in jardi-
nieres, be sure no water stands In
them and that the jardiniere is large
enough to permit of circulation Of air
around 1t. Plants need light, pure
air, and cleanliness as much as hu-
man beings.

system originated In superstitious
dread Of the invisible powers Of evil.

Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1919-03-19

With currency inflated by $2O,OOo'-
100000 of Liberty Bonds the purchas-
ing power Of the dollar is correspond
ingly decreased. This means high cost
of food, necessitating high wages. It
naturally follows that there can be no
considerable reduction in the price of
building materials, since labor consti-
tutes large per centage of the cost
of its production.
Thinking men declare it foolish to
expect return to pre-war prices Of
either labor or building materials. Wise
men are preparing to build now while
both labor and materials are plenti-
full and easy to obtain and while bid
ing operations are being encouraged
by the government and the banks,
and therefore easily financed.
Build now to avoid the high cost
of delay.

Hello, boys! Look, here comes the
Constitutional Amendment"
But nobody paid any more atten-
ton to Mr.. Jarr's entrance than
they would have paid to tly
winging in as 'an added entry to the
free lunch free-for- all. in the days
when there was free lunch and other
institutions of liberal living. A
mapping sound was heard. II any
one needed it he probably imagined It
vas something wrong with the clock.
But that sound was Mr.. Jarr's heart
breaking! He had been away from
Gus's cafe for two whole weeks, and
nobody seemed TO care that he was in
againl
Tho bitter thought came to Mr..
Jarr that in this great, cold-hearted
town 1t was only too true that the in
dispensable man was not numerous.
But his words OF a deserter re-
turned did not even stop the quarrel,
so Mr. Jarr pushed his way in among
the group at the bar, showed the dice
box aside and remarked tensely: 'T

wallop, even il he owes me S967!" re-
marked Muller, the grocer.
Don't hit him now; wait till he's
by a winder!" cried Mr.. Slayinsky,
Gus, you don't care; YOU got wlnder
insurance, and broken winder makes
business for glazier who is a good
| customer"
NO." cried Co.'S, mo violence Ny
wife Lena upstairs has got a head
ache, Let's hear what he has to say
before we PUSH him out. or course.
don't care about any noise giving
my place a bad name any more"
"All I've got 10 say is this" said
Mr., Jarr hotly. II see by the papers
that the saloons have to go out OF
business In July. I'm glad to hear
