DR.. TIME WILL CURE US

In 1883 in place of a deficit and
q monster bonded Indebtedness this
country had a surplus of one hun
dred and five million dollars; instead
of being too high, prices were too
low, and instead of the abbreviated
garments Of today women wore
skirts so long they swept the ground.
People were not any more satisfied
then than they are today, either.
Financiers agreed that the annual
surplus was a menace to our finan-
cial stability, the farmers fumed be-
cause wheat was only fifty cents a
bushel, and dress reformers clam
ored that the long skirts swept up
disease germs and were unhygienic.
As we look at conditions today
we note that Doctor Time has eff
fected a complete cure of the ills
of those days, but we have collect
ed new batch, such as indebted
ness, shimmy dances, H. c. L., prof
iteering, leg shows and joy-rides.
AS for the annual surplus the in
visible DR.. Time soon reduced that
swelling, and it disappeared entire
ly. Some may contend that the
cure is worse than the disease, but
that has nothing to do with the ar
point is that he cured
us.
He will cure our present ills, also.
Thirty years from now many of US
will still be alive and kicking, but
our complaints will be different
The present ailments will all be
gone and in their place we will
have a new set that we do not now
even dream Of. We will perhaps
have whipped both Japan and Eng
and, and father will be coming
nome and lighting on the roof in
IN airship, all lit up with some
new set equally devilish
lcme brew.
So why worry and waste time

A GOOD RECORD

One of the oldest, most energetic
and persevering organizations in Es-
tancia is the Ladies Aid Society of
the Methodist church.
This society was organized at the
home of Mrs. ]. P. Dunlavy on No
vember 9Th, 1905, with the follow
ing officers: Mrs. S. B. Rose, presi-
dent; Mrs. Johnson Pence, vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. ]. P. Dunlavy, sec
retary and treasurer Since then it
has helped to- build the present
church building, has improved the
church grounds, has largely taken
care Of the repairs of the building,
ard during their history has been
the chief factor in raising the sal
ary of the pastor, paying literally
out of their funds to this end.
During these fifteen years of its
history it has carried upon its roll
of membership the ladies of the
families who have made Estancia
what it is, regardless of church af-
filiation; and today it's membership
is composed of the names of lead
ing ladies of the town, many of
whom are making themselves felt in
the town in its social and communi-
ty welfare work.
At it's last meeting Mrs. E. L.
Garvin, who has served as its eff
cient president for a number of
years, was reelected to that office;
and Miss Mary Norris, who has
served just as efficiently as secre-
tary, was reelected secretary for
the coming year.
At recent enthusiastic meeting |
the Ladies' Aid Society adopted as
its slogan "a Methodist Parsonage
in Estancia," and they are bending
their every effort to that end |
While they have reserved member
ship dues and miscellaneous funds
for their running expenses, they
have created special Parsonage
Fund" to which the monies from
sales, special entertainments and en-
terprises are directed. They already
have "nest egg" ofino small pro-
portions, and this is being enthus-
astically added to by their various
and energetic efforts.
A Christmas food sale will be
given at Cochran's store on Friday,
December oath, where dainties for
the Christmas dinner will be sold
at fair prices.
The ladies will also give bazaar
and parcel post sale in the near fu-
-ure, at which they hope to realize
4 neat sum to be added to their
parsonage fund.
Such movements with the en-
5husiasm attendant are factors of no
small proportion toward the making {
If prosperous town. These good
women are valuable asset to the
own prosperity, and their efforts '
should meet with the hearty coop i
'ration of every enterprising citi-
zen.

A whole car load
We've shipped to this state
And not single piece
That is up-to-date.
I've wondered and wondered
From day to day
How in the land
We'd get'it away.
But the problem is solved
As never before
We'll haul this junk
To Waggener's Store.

And if it's true that he wants
Such as this and that
He's bound to be crippled little
Under the hat.
And we'll work it off on him

And then buy something, John,

THE CLOUD LOOKS sILvERY

(From The Bean-Bag for December
While most Of the readers of TIL
Bean-Bag will agree that there is lit
tie market, certain tendencies ar
coming to light which point to re
action and almost certainly a ris,
in price of most varieties of beanl
within comparatively short time

many alternatives the chances OF
getting "caught" are mighty small. J
A survey of the entire available
supply shows lower stocks than in
years. Prices have dropped, it is
true, farther than many other food.
stuffs, and dealers throughout the
country are "sick," gloomy and pes
simistic. 1t is hard to make them
believe better things are in store;
they will not believe it. until they
see it.
Farmers persist in rushing their
beans to market. One dealer who
was quoting $4 flat to the farmer
on Michigan beans believed they
would stop coming in if he quoted
$3.75, but at the lower price more
beans than ever came in. Whether
they had been ready to sell at 81
and at $3.75 couldn't wait a minute
longer is not definitely known. It is
open to question what they would do
at $3.50 or less. Perhaps if the
got TOO low they might hold off a
while.
One feature which it is believed
has a lot to do with the poor de-
mand and consequent lack of bust
ness is the refusal of retailers to
lower their price to the consumer.
In Michigan, where every farmer
knows at what price beans ought to
be selling in the grocery stores,
beans are being retailed at around
5 cents pound. But in the large
centers, in New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, and other cities
beans are being held at anywhere
from II to IS cents pound. Peo-
pie, even when out of work and
forced to lower-priced food-stuffs,
are not going to buy beans at that
price. The retailer says he has
high-priced beans on hand, the same
plant he has for other products and |
which constitutes one of the biggest |
problems of the country's CONNER
cial life. If the retailer could be
convinced that he can take loss
now, get rid of his high-priced stuff,
and restock at lower figures, al
lowing his profits then to reimburse
him, the problem would be solved. 1
Not all bean dealers are pessimis-
tic, however. In this issue we are
printing a letter from Boston con-
Germ which strikes better tone. |
During the last few days prices,
while not mounting, are at least
stationary, with strong undertone.
There is more inquiry, and beans
are actually being sold
The Bean-Bag looks for slow
but steady increase in both demand
and price by holiday time. We do
not believe in any high flights, but
