Fair Weather

The first of the week witnessed
a very dry period for winter. High
winds the last of the week dried
up the muddy roads wonderfully.
In places they became dusty.
Automobilists started up blasts
from their warning signals, and
it looked almost like spring. The
rain yesterday morning, h ow-
ever, blasted all hopes for good
Christmas roads.

Farmers Advancing

The Times job office has recent.
ly turned out some printed sta
tionery for h e Maple Grove
Stock Farm, Stanton and the
Crescent Ridge Stock Farm, Clay
City, Mr.. A. j, Martin is pro.
prietor of the Maple Grove and
Mr.. Chas. Welch is proprietor of
the Crescent Ridge. Both are
breeders of thoroughbred cattle,
hogs and chickens. The Maple
Grove has Herefords, while the
Crescent Ridge breed Holstein
cattle. Both the farms breed
Poland China hogs and Rhode
Island Red chickens.
This is a forward step and 9th
er farmers of the county should
follow. The first step is to get
some printed letter heads and
envelopes. This 'advertises and
fixes "A name for your farm If you
desire.
More consideration is given to
any business letter where 1t is
written on printed stationery
than where it is on plain. Moth
ing pays better than a small in.
yestment in printed stationery
when starting any business.
