Mail Order Houses

The big mail order houses Of the
country always sell certain artlc-
les, they call leaders, at cost or be-
low cost in order to belittle the
local small town dealer and to
bring distrust between the con.
sumner and the store keeper. II
hey succeed in this and cause the
man who buys and the man who
sells 10 become enemies, the buy
er will send away for his. stuff
and send the money out OF town
where it never returns to help
build up a community.
Jack Thomas has the past week
and continuing this week taken
The kink out of the tire business
as far as mail order houses are
concerned. Considering the stand
ard tires he offers and the kind
that the big business woifes offer
and the freight or express added
TO them. Jack has them backed
ripht off the map.
BUYERS of tires have not been
slow to see this and the Kadoka
Auto Co. has filled orders from
oil parts of the county, many
buying a whole set and spare on
top. They realize that they are
getting one of the best tires at 2
price that will not be duplicated
the coming year and besides they
oet them right at home where
they can look the stock over and
consult with the dealer afterwards
if they need to. Jack has certain
ly hit the bulls eye as far as tires
and nrices are concerned.

Weta School Notes

Thefollowing pupils were perfect
in attendance during the fourth
month:
Maurine Miller, Helen Peterson,
Robert Freemole, Lucille Beitel
raul Miller, Dale Barber Stanley
Uhlir, Albin Peterson, Milo Uhhl
inez Doss, Elmer Peterson, Villas
Uhlir and Doris Prichard.
The grades had their January
examination Wednesday and Thurs
day. Regardless of the storm all
pupils were in school.
The younger pupils from the
town ate dinner at the lunch room
and thus avoided going home thru
the severe weather.
The Hot Lunch Board of Control
decided that any pupil who was
tardy lowered the standard of the
school and therefore owed his fel-
low students some effort which
was to be paid in the form of do
ing detail in the hot lunch room,
either cooking or washing dishes.
The officers for the next wo weeks
are:
Fred Freemole- President.
Clarene Uhlir- Recorder
Supply Committe:
Elmer Peterson
Marion McHenry
Clarence Uhlir
Price Committe:
Rowland Prichard
Elton Barber
Frances Gatchel
Auditing Committee:
