DICTATES OF
COMMON SENSE

Buying away from home is habit
which usually does nobody any good
but the mail order house. Buying at
home is a habit which does a world
of good to the buyer, the merchant
and the home town. Why cultivate
bad habit when it is just as easy
to acquire good one and why con-
tinue bad habit when there is a
good habit which can easily be sub
stituted?
Before the Beverly stores became
so numerous and so abundantly
stocked there was some defense for
the mail order concerns with their
diversified stocks. There was a
time when the mail order house was
the only place where the resident of
the small town and country could
supply all of his needs. But today
your hometown stores can furnish
all of mans needs and without de-
lays, misunderstanding and uncer-
tainty of satisfaction. Four essentials
in buying are quantity, quality, fav-
orable price and quick delivery.
Your hometown merchants set the
standard in all four of these essen
tials.
There are men and women who go
to larger cities to buy all or part of
their wants. They argue that they
can save money and obtain better
satisfaction, but brought down to the
actual facts they usually admit that
buying out-of town is only a habit,
and an expensive habit at that.
They lose the leisurely shopping the
personal service and the realization
of responsibility which characterize
the local stores.
Big business buys its raw materials
from the nearest source of supply
Every individual is business in him
self or herself. Thrifty buyers fig
ure in the time, labor, transportation
and market costs and buy according

BUY AND BUILD IN BEVERLY

The Banner believes in Beverly and
Reverlv's future. 1t believes that
Beverly is destined to be much
greater city that it is today. 1t be-
lieyes that the great majority OF
people living in Beverly have an
abiding faith in the city's future
and in the Beverly of today. 1t IS
this faith that has made Beverly and
it is this same faith that is going to
continue to make Beverly greater
city.
Beverly is already great place IN
which to live. If one were to look
all around the world, none better
could be found. When everything
is considered, no one honestly can
say that any other town is better
place than Beverly.
For that reason, if you have any
money to invest, invest it in Beverly .
It is safer at home than it is any
place else. Keep out of the clutches
of the oily-tongued stock salesman
who comes from a distance and wants
your money to invest in an enterprise
the merit of which you know nothing
save what is told you by the man or
men seeking to separate you from
your coin"
If you have any money to invest
think it Overland then invest in
Beverly. Every resident of Beverly
ought to be booster for Beverly
and Beverly enterprises. Owning
Beverly real estate will go long
way toward making all citizens a
booster for the home town. Bulic
or buy home and grow with Bev'
erly, and enjoy to the full all the
benefits of being a Beverly home
owner.

Miss Annie e. Monahan

Miss Annie F.. Monahan, for many
years telegraph operator at the local
Postal Telegraph Co.'S Office, pass
ed away Monday forenoon at her
home on School street after an ILL.,
ness of several months. The news
of Miss MOnahan's death came as
a great shock to her many friends,
who while they knew of her illness
had no idea of it's seriousness. For
nearly rs years she has had charge
of the Postal Telegraph Office in the
Bailey building in Depot Square and
during that time she has endeared
herself to all with whom she was
associated. A kind hearted woman,
of fine character and highest BUSH
ness principles, she was respected
and admired by all. She was always
ready to do any favor whether 1t be
large or small, and will be sincerely
mourned by all who knew her.
She was born in Gorham, Maine,
40 years ago, the daughter of Will
lam and Mary (McMann) Monahan.
Surviving relatives are five sisters.
Funeral services will be from the
home and will be private.

Probably Girl Never
Forgot That Lesson

Stories have way Of accommodating
about the memory of famous wits.
and Dean Swift was Hu exception to
this general rule, according to the
San Francisco Argonaut. A hoard of
Swift anecdotes recently unearthed
includes the illustration Of the deans
mania for closed doors. Swift's
housekeeper hired his servants, but
when they came into his employ he
always told them there were only two
rules to observe. One was always to
shut the door after entering a room.
the other. always to close the door
after leaving the room.
"On one occasion a maid asked the
deans permission to atterd her Sis
ter's wedding, when he not only gave
Ills permission, but lent her horse
upon which to make the journey. and
another servant to accompany her. In
the excitement of the moment the un-
fortunate girl forgot to close the door
after her. and Swift. allowing time
for her to get well away upon her
journey, sent another servant post
haste to bring her back. In fear and
trembling the poor girl presented
herself before the dean. asking him
what he wanted her for. Only to
shut the door was the reply, after
which you can resume your jour-
ney.'"

No Paw For Sheriffs

The custom In England of the King
conducting the annual observance of
'pricking the sheriffs.' Is pictur-
esque survival of the days when only
a few learned men could write. Then
marks and signs. instead of persons
signature. were affixed to important
documents.
At the ceremony the King receives
from the chancellor of the exchequer.
who is attired in his state robes of
black and gold. a golden bodkin. With
this he pricks holes opposite the
names of the men chosen to act as
county sheriffs for the ensuing year.
The list of names Is submitted on a
parchment roll. and in order to pre-
serve the tradition that the king
chooses the sheriffs. three names are
submitted from each county for his
consideration. Legally the king could
prick" any name he wished, but in
variably he accepts the nomination
of his chancellor's court.
In Norman times the office of sheriff
was one of great responsibility. Now
adays, however, a county sheriff's
duties consist in acting as returning
officer at parliamentary elections and
attending judge during county as
sizes. A sheriff continues in office for
one year only. and cannot be COM
PEELED to serve second time. The
office is not only gratuitous, but COM
pulsory. for If the person appointed
refuses he is liable to De fined.-Ean-

Saunders fumbled around the
horse. finally got hold of its tail,
and cried in a shocked voice:
