Laws sometimes bring about pee
uliar hardships but one of the strang-
est complications occurred before the
Ways and Means Committee last
week when the Internal Revenue Col
lector offered a bill to allow him to
concentrate all WHISTLES and liquors
in bond, now held in $50 different
warehouses. The purpose is to make
easier the guarding of such liquor
Under the law, the owner guards the
liquor at his own expense and when
any is lost or stolen the owner pays
S6.40 beverage tax per gallon on all
that is missing. Thus the owner may
lose his wiskey and also be penalized
by the S6.40 tax in addition to his
loss. This sounds harsh but expla-
nation was made that 100000 gal
Ions are in bond and can be sold only
for medicinal purposes or the arts so
that with enormous increase in val
ues a premium is put on burglaries.
The department and owners are try
ing to get together on bill that will
protect the government and owners
by permitting a concentration of liq-
uors where they can be easily guard
ed.
A few days ago it was stated that
in the Judgment of well informed
Senators the Peace Treaty would
soon be agreed to with league reser-
vations and that the sky was clear
ing. A bipartisan disagreement has
existed thus far with majority Of
Republicans aided by a few Demo-
Gratis seeking to reach treaty I'M
derstanding that will not be rejected

IrSnA rarr or Eau Clare was in
the city on business last week. Years
ago when the writer was undergoing
discouragements that come to strug-
ling young attorneys Farr called on
me to get advice about studying law.
The clouds were heavy that day and
he was advised to forget it and take
up some other business where re-
wards were better. Years passed;
Farr is one of the most successful
lawyers of Northern Wisconsin of the
strong firm Of Farr & Sturtevant, the
natter formerly Attorney General.
Moral: Ask for advice; get all you
can--then follow your oun Judgment.

ORDER YOUR DYNAMITE NOW

The great success of dynamite ditching in Lee county has inter- ested a large number of farmers who need work of this kind but are unable to do it now because they need all their help in the fields. It is not necessary to do all the ditch ing now but it would be easy to arrange a trial demonstration of two or three hundred pounds which could be done with two or three men in less than a day thereby learning how to use the dyna- mite so that when a spell of wet weather comes and it is impossible to work in the fields the time could be spent making ditches or shooting stumps. The demonstrator for the Hercules Powder Co.,, will be in Marianna again Monday, June21st, and those interested in availing themselves of his services should arrange with Hewitt and Zimmerman for a supply of dynamite and a date when it can be demonstrated. Remember that everyone will be
 wanting to shoot when the crops are laid by and it will be accord ing more difficult to arrange to have it done. *12p

SERVICE!

It is our opinion that very large part ot what for service is of no value to the customer and is an important factor in the high cost or hVlng ol which we all complain so bitterly.
 Our idea of service is that store should know the markets and the needs of It's customers. lna h # bonld keen on hand stocks of goods fitted to the moods of it's customers and sell these goods at prices giving honest reliable values That its clerks sho9la Know the goods they sell and to be able to advise It's customers as to values and to help them get the hgn- est return in value for their money, and the fullest measure of service from the goods.
 This is the class of service we are trying to give, and we believe that in doing so we are doing all that it is possible for anyone to do towards reoucng the high cost of living.
