and will work out all right under most
conditions. When there is a plenty
of everything and to spare, things are
bound to be cheap and it is a good
time to buy and hold for higher prices.
This holds good in agricultural prod
ucts, in stocks and bonds and certain
other kinds of property. T.. there
are exceptions to all rules. At the
present time one must be careful in
choosing what TO buy, just because
everybody wants to sell. Fanciful
prices may be asked that are not
justifiable. The cheapest thing on
the market now is money and If one
can buy plenty of 1t now and hold
it until it becomes dear again it is
the best speculation one can engage
in at the present time. Every fifty
cent dollar one can lay aside now will
be worth one hundred cents some day
in the near future. Put away a few
dollars now and then and see them

Quoted by Rev. Earl " Pierce, the
pastor of the First Baptist church,
which he attended and supported.
There was a large attendance Of
friends.
There is no death:
What seems so is transition.
This life Of mortal breath
Is but the suburb of the life elysan
Whose portal we call death.
And so we walk with him
And keep unbroken the bond
Which nature gives,
Hoping our remembrance, though un-
spoken,
May reach him where he lives"

DIED IN THE HARNESS

Word reached the Register Tuesday
morning that J. L. Pratt, editor and
publisher of the Elkton Record, had
died suddenly on the evening before,
Later this was confirmed by County
Commissioner Chan. Davis, who tells
us that Brother Pratt was in his Office
at work as usual and suddenly dropped
to the floor. He was revived and
walked down the stairs, assisted by
friends, and was taken in an auto to
his home where he passed away in
less than an hour.
j. l.. Pratt was the founder of the
Elkton Record thirty-six years ago and
has remained on the job from. that
time until his death He was always
a consistent booster for his town and
the east end of the county. His way
of saying and doing things was en-
tirely original and woe betide the per-
son who did not measure up to his
standard of doing things.
Jim" Pratt was man that would
do anything for friend even to his
own detriment. He gave literally to
every worthy enterprise and was al
ways working for the interests of his
home town. He will certainly be
greatly missed by the people of Elkton.
For thirty years the most cordial
relationship has existed between
Brother Pratt and the writer and we
can look back with gratitude to many
acts of kindness and brotherly cour-
tesy extended to us by him when we
first came to Brookings county.
To the bereaved family the Register
extends its profound sympathy
