In last weeks issue you reprint an

sas As you made no comment, /
take It for granted that you endorse
It as fair statement OF conditions
here and elsewhere. / agree with
the senator and admire him in many
ways. but when he prints an article
so full Of absurdities, half-truths and
exaggerations, and expects us to
swallow It all, hook line and sinker,
! for one object.
Most Of us agree that freight rates
are still too high, that the farmer
won't prosper under condition such
as have prevailed. and that the re.
tailers in many instances have not
lowered prices in proportion to farm
product prices. II his figures are
correct as to present conditions In
Kansas or the middle west, then
Phillips county people are to be en-
WED.
For instance. he says. Corn, 10
pounds, Is cents: cornmeal, 10
pounds, go cents: -four. s2.7O for 4s
pounds; wheat, IS cents per bushel.
Flour here is $1.60 to $3.50 for 4s
pounds, corn meal 10 pounds for IS
cents. Corn is about 80 cents for Sc
pounds.
He says, "Oats Is cents bushel,
oatmeal 20 cents a bowlful." The
senator may pay that, but we com.
mon folks don't.
He says, 1.-TWO days wages shuck.

Farmers, figure it out.
He says, Hides, 3 cents pound !;
work shoes. $500 a pair. Wool for
suit OF clothes, 45 cents; price of
suit, $50 to $75."
We all know that is fully double
Holyoke prices, and they are not the
lowest in the world.

He says, 1--WE pay in freight charges

POSTMASTER URGES
PUBLIC TO MAIL
PA c X A G. E S NOW

With only two weeks more before
Christmas, Postmaster G. w. Collins
wishes to impress upon the people
of FL Centre the necessity of mail
ing early, if they are to assist in
preventing the local post office
from being swamped during the hol-
iday rush. Mail intended for the
East should be mailed now, accord
ing to the postmaster, if it is to
reach its destination by Christmas,
Mail sent now is not only subject
to the usual delays of Christmas
rush but also to the possibility of
railroad tieups due to weather con
ditions in the middle west and
east. 1t therefore bchooves people
to take advantage of the present
and mail now.
Mr.. Collins again calls attention
to the necessity of wrapping mail
parcels securely, seeing that they
are properly and legibly addressed
and carry return address, also
that the correct amount of stamps is
placed on them A little care i'm
these matters enables the mail to
be handled with greater efficiency
and dispatch.

SAL0M0N SELLS
STORE HERE TO
A. c. JOHNSTON
Pioneer Merchant Sells
Big Store Here to
Local Syndicate
Ben Solomon May Go to
San Fra.,ciscO; Sale
in Effect Feb. |

Announcement is made today of
the sale of the Il. Solomon and
Company business to syndicate of
local men headed by A. G. Johnston,
merchandise manager of NafneY
Brothers and Company.
Actual transfer of the store will
take place ON February l, 1928, but
Mr.. Johnston will 90 into the store
on January !, and will spend a
month in getting into the Salomon
spirit which it is Mr.. Johnston S
frank purpose to pcrpetuate.
Mr.. Solomon will remain in FL
Centre with headquarters at the
applies himself to winding up de-
tails which are not taken over by
the new firm. After that, Mr.. Sal
omon's plans are indefinite. Many
things have been submitted to him
and it is probable that he will again
engage in the merchandising bust
ness, perhaps at some point up in the
San Francisco Bay region.
The store will continue under the
name of b. Solomon which is recog-
niZed by the purchasers as one of
its greatest assets. Mr. Johnston
promises the Solomon quality of
service and the Solomon quality OF
goods and hopes to sustain all of the
ideals which have made the SalOmon
store such a success.
Ben Salomon is one of the pio-
neefs~in FL Centre. He came here
- years ago and his interests have
grown with the city. He is one of
I'll Centro's most highly esteemed
citizens. His charities have been
tremendous, though of the sort
where the left hand does not know
what the right is doing. He has
been Il leader in every forward
movement and his support has been
given to everything for the ad-
vancement of the city and county.
Mr.. Johnston has been in FL Cen
tro much shorter time than Mr..
Solomon, but has made Il record as
Il successful merchant. AS stated,
he has been merchandise manager
and advertising director of the big
Varney company and has made his
influence felt in every part of the
county. He realizes that to come in
to such Il business as that of the
b. Solomon Company is a great
opportunity for any man and he
pledges the best that is in him to
make it n continued success.
The deal was made by Thomas
Becman and Edgar Brothers Realty
Company.
