A SHO DEAL

One of our farmer friends called at
the News-Budget office lSst week to
ask our advice in cancelling siio or
der that he had signed.
This order was placed with an agent
for a firm in city 400 miles away.
If the company sells a carload they
pay the freight, if not the purchaser
pays the local freight. The silo cost
$500 and what the local freight will be
is not known, but if added to the pur-
chasing price will make a mighty eX-
pensive silo.
Our Answer
WHY men will sign orders OF this
kind. who are good business men oth-
erwise. is a conundrum.
This man has only seven acres OF
land cleared and we told him that he
was not ready to build silo as he
could not afford to keep COWS enough
on his forty to make it pay a proflt
until he had his farm cleared. sllo
is an excellent thing for a man who is
ready for it, but it is as bad as board
err cows until that time. A man on
new farm here should devote all of his
finances. credit, and ability to get his
land cleared and producing clover. He
can then get few good cows, ana
other things he desires with good
prospect of making good on them,

AVOID HAY SHORTAGE

Brush and Seed is the slogan Of
Rusk county. No farmer of Rusk
county who brushes and seeds all he
can is making a mistake. 1t is the
easiest and best way to subdue the
new land to get it ready for stumping
and for crops 1t means pasture; it
means hay.
Last years experience and the hay
shortage should be sufficient evidence
of the need of the growth of all the
hay possible in Rusk county. Rusk
county farmers can grow all the hay
they need. It is a question of grow
ing more roughage or cutting down on
the number of cows.
Which shall it be? Now is the time
to plan for next winter.

Time went by, but Bob soon saw
that business was crowding out his

called on the Avalanche mechanical
department for much Of his straight

Five Cent Ropes" Are Coming
 Back With a Bang

CHIC AGO, Aug. 3.-(By the As sociated Press. )-Roused from its moribund lethergy by the demand of the palates of thousands of smokers the 5-cent cigar is back with its multi colored banners streaming.
 In shop windows and on cigar counters everywhere the nickel smoke product, which disappeared back in war days. is being displayed in a profusion of shapes and varieties while gigantic billboard advertise ments are sending forth their mes sage of this return to normalcy ir the tobacco world.
 What the country needs most is a good scent cigar" is a remark at tributed to Mark Twain And those smokers, who saw the one-time scent brands mount to 6, z and 8 and sometimes 10 cents. during the pc riod of soaring prices, now have plenty to select from.
 Tobacco merchants, cigar whole salers and tobacconists all admit that the 5-eent cigar is the fastest nov ing article in the trade. but they disagree as to it's merits. Retail dealers are inclined to the belief il is as good as any of the old brands which climbed during the war. To bacco merchants say it cant be as good as the old standby because the cost of materials and labor is still above the old level and manufactur CTS say it isn't as good as the nickle favorites of pre-war days.
 "We can't get enough 5-ceni cigars" said a salesman in loor tobacco shOp. We have pretty good cigars at that price now, however and my customers buy so many keep the boxes on the counter. Ii I put them in the case l would Dc busy hauling them out and returning them. The two for quarter is done for. in my opinion The public wants 5-centers for every day and 10-cents for Sunday"
