SCHOOL BOARDS IDEAS

welfare of the children must be pro- vided for
 Nothing is planned for the Emer- son building but will be useful when the ward school plan is more devel- oped, as it soon will be. The board could easily convince anyone of the urgent need of the bond issue and for going forward with the plans as work ed out. Defeat of the bonds would indeed seriously injure school work and accomplish no other desirable end. So let us. vote them and let the educational work of the children go forward. Let us have the high school and then the ward school that has been asked for in the north part of town"

BLUE GRASS GARDEN PLoW

About the best help-meet the small
gardener could have is the Blue Grass
Garden Plow. In fact, to be without it
means to lose money, and. you'll also
lose out in results-viewing the respec-
tive losses from a standpoint of labor
and crop-success.
Successful gardening depends largely
upon the kind of implements used, and
inthe Blue Grass you have garden
plow that not only reduces your labor
materially but accomplishes much more
effectively that which you would do
with hand-tools. You'll notice the diff
ference as the crops mature.
If you take pride in your garden
and Of course you do-you certainly
want the best there is to be had in a
garden plow, and VIC sincerely believe
that plow is the Blue Grass.
With each pillow We furnish you a
complete seq of attachments-shovcls,
calf.tongue, cultivator, weeder, etc,
And'the price is very reasonable, too.

Dear Editor:

er the head of Where part of on
money goes.
l am interested because i'll this
there is hope that the people o.
our section are awakening and
trying to free themselves from a
system that has long held them
in bondage.
People are buying goods direct
from factories and catalog houses
in order to go around the faulty
system of distributian and the
credit system. / mean by this,
that the producers are selling di-
rect to consumers, and the catalog
houses nearly so, and are sellirg
always for cash, so that a large
amount of. middlemen profits
are Topped off and no loss from
credit and bad debts are added to
to the cost of the goods.
All merchants. doing 2 credit
business. have losses from bad
debts. and necessarily have to
charge more for goods to make
up the loss. Also. all merchants
doing a credit business have to
buy from the wholesaler an credit,
and the wholesaler in turn must
charge the merchant more to make
up his losses from bad debts, SO
that the man who trades in the
average credit store helps to pay
at least. two sets Of bad debts.
From the credit system, comes
she only excuse On earth for theE
Isaveiihg salesman. or drummer. |
# all merceants bought goods
from the wholesaler for cash, a
postal card would bring his goods
to him, but while merchants buy
goods on credit, the wholesaler
knows that he must keep the drum
ner on the road to keep track of
heir debtors, and collect the
bills. In other words, the drum
ner IS not SO much salesman as
le is credit information man.
