What One Farmer Did.

There are more ways than one
the one way being to plant cotton, as
our farmers think-for the farmer to
make a good living and prosper, as
is evidenced by the testimony Of an
Ehrhardt farmer, who was talking
with the writer a few days ago. Lis
ten to what this farmer said: Il
haven't planted hill of cotton this
year. I planted rye, oats, corn, beans,
peas, peanuts, potatoes, and sugar
cane. I have just finished harvesting
my oats and rye and have the crops
ready to put on the market at any
time. I have plenty of hogs and some
COWS. I have gone in debt just So
to make this crop. l made some mon

A Bargain.

The other day stranger entered
the Indiana National Bank and want
ed to borrow IS. He was told that
the bank did not lend such small
sums.
But" he went on, tending money
is your business, isn't it?'
The banker admitted that it was.
"Well, 1 have good security said
the stranger, "and l want to borrow
S."
Finally, the banker, half from ia
tigue and half from amused curiosity,
agreed to make the loan. When the
note was all drawn and the interest
of 35 cents paid, the stranger drew
from his pocket $4,000 worth of
government bonds, and handed them
over as security. Before the banker
could express his astonishment the
stranger said: Now, this is some
thing like it. Over at the other bank
they wanted me to pay $40 just for a
safety deposit box to keep these
things in!'-Houston Post.

Spook Stops Stone in Mid-air.

On the Tahiti Island, near Papeete,
there is cave which the natives say
is enchanted, being the burial place
of a wizard of old. There is nothing
unusual about the appearance Of this
cave, and as one stands at the Ell
trance the opposite wall does not
seem to be far away across body of
very cold water. When visitors are
told that no one has ever thrown a
stone that has reached the wall they
look incredulous, and Immediately
make the endeavor, only to be sur
prised to see that the stone seems
to stop in it's flight and fall into the
water, after it has gone but few
feet.

EHRHARDT BUREAU
Funeral of F.. ID. Dannelly.

4 host of relatives and friends at
tended the funeral of E. D. Dannelly,
which was held in the Lutheran
church and conducted by Rev. P. D.
R;singer. pastor of the church, Rev.
w. B. Harper, presiding elder, and
Rev. Edwards, ex-presiding elder, Of
the Methodist church. Although not
a member of the Lutheran church,
being a member of the Methodist
church, Rev. Risinger, who has
known him for a number OF years
and who appreciated his many good
qualities, paid him a very high tri-
butte. The many beautiful flowers
further attested the popularity and
the esteem in which he was held by
his many friends.
He had been a sufferer for several
months, much of this time being
spent in hospitals in the effort to re-
gain his health. He was brought
home from Charleston few weeks
ago, where he fingered until last
Wednesday morning, when he passed
away.
"Bert' Dannelly, as he was known
by all, was young man, but in the
short time given him to live he estab
lished a reputation for straight-for-
wardness, honesty, and business
ability. He was a member of the
firm of Dannelly Brothers and J. S. &
E.. D. Dannelly. He was energetic,
broad-minded, and public spirited.
He meant much to the life of his
town and community and he will be
sadly missed. He leaves a wife and
many friends and relatives to mourn
their loss.

AN APPRECIATED LETTER.

F. X. Graham, who has been lib
eral advertising patron Of The Her
aid, writes us as follows:
May as a patron of your valued
paper express my appreciation of the
valued service rendered me in my
business through your advertising
space? | often think that your rates
are high, and they are, but as long
as I get the results which I do, can
not think but that it's the logical
thing that l should advertise. There
are many merchants who never spend
a cent for advertising and are still
successful in business, but without
the service of your advertisements |
do not see how l could do anything.
l invariably get good results from
your paper and only wish that more
of the merchants and business men
would take advantage of your space
and then perhaps you could afford to
cut your rates. Again thanking you
for your services, I remain, etc.
This word comes from Mr.. Graham
without solicitation from The Herald
or without knowledge of his intention
of giving this testimonial to the ef-
fectiveness of The Herald's adver-
tising columns. The only thing that
Mr.. Graham is wrong about is the
advertising rate being high. aThe
Herald has certain scruples about its
advertising rate that not all newspa-
pers have. It charges one price to all
advertisers. We do not grant re-
bates, discounts, or commissions to
anybody, either the advertiser or ad-
vertising agencies. Its rate is stan
dard, based On thescale of the Nation
al Editorial association of the actual
cost of advertising space in country
weeklies, plus a reasonable profit.
The fact that Mr.. Graham finds ad-
vertising in The Herald profitable is
proof of the fact that there are GER
tain elements that go into he MAX
ing of his newspaper which make its
advertising attractive to it's readers.
Many OF InSSS SlSuSuIS COu1O pC
eliminated, at a considerable saving
in the publishing of the paper, but at
a considerable loss in both the use
fulness of the paper and the value
of it's advertising columns.
The Herald undertook many years
ago the bold policy of publishing a
grade of paper that is not found in
all towns the size of Bamberg, with
the idea of letting the merits of the
paper stand for themselves, in the
belief that a good newspaper is ap-
preciated anywhere, and that it will
receive patronage when it is merited.
We do not mean to convey the idea
that The Herald is the best paper in
the world, or that it cannot be i'm
proved on. On the contrary we rea-
1ize, perhaps considerably more than
our readers, the shortcomings of the
paper, and it is our constant and
earnest endeavor to make it better.

his way of thinking. This may BIB
accomplished, if both sides are con-
scientious, by giving the other side a
hearing. Perhaps the kickers are
right: anyway, those acting in pub
lie capacity ought to be broad-minded
enough to listen to complaints. If
the complaints are just, they may be
remedied; if unjust the error may be
pointed out

Summer PaSt;meS.

These are summer months and
even in normal times business is dull,
but nowadays you seldom ever find an
idle merchant or clerk in Ehrhardt.
If they are not waiting on customer,
which, in truth must be said, is not
as often as it used to be, YOU will find
them busily engaged in playing check
ers. In fact the only time checker
games are not in progress is when a
baseball game is on hand.

W. H. Strowd in charge of the Feed
division of the State Department of
Agriculture. Within 1.-THE present
year middlings have been $1,000 10

should take advantage of Nthe pre-

Even at -eqssl prices middlings are
preferable TO bran but most farmers,
as matter OF habits, are still bug

By taking advantage of market
changes farmers can affect ccnsi-

We might add Esthat condensing

until the present time, have spaid

this coupled with the lowering of

I'VE feel certain that as soon as
the drop in prices of feed has been
materially felt by the Ideal milk

PREPARED FOR YEGGS.

The bayfield, County Bank Of this
city has just had installed device
on their vault doors which will pre-
vent yeggs from breaking into their
vault, according to the belief of
President d. M. Maxcy and the COM
pany installing the device.
In past years yeggs have been
going about the breaking of vault
doors in the more scientific way,
that of using electricity of the gas
torch, and to prevent this the device
has been made.
In using thes torch thevheat from
the torch melts lead wires which
springs an auxiliary set Of tumblers
which are thrown into place to take
the place Of the tumblels whose
efficiency has been destroyed when
an opening has been burned through
the vault door. The bank officials
say that if yeggs try to open their
vault they viii be unable 70 do so,
and the only result win be a stronger
lock on the door which, will neces-
state removing the door to open it.
