A SERIOUS MINDED business
man wonders how business is 60
ing to be affected in the long run
by the fact that nowadays so much
of the energy. creative thinking
and imagination that shOu d
go into planning better products,
better distribution, and better op-
Grafton is engaged in scheming how
to stay within the law, remain in
business. and end up with a profit.
Important decisions hang on the
answer to the question, "Is it de-
ductable?"
By the very nature of their call
ing business men are thrifty. They
are trained to get the most for
their money-and to drive hard
bargains with their suppliers.
Their normal aim is to give the
customer satisfaction so that his
continued patronage will be as
sured, thereby keeping the enter
prise healthy and prosperous. The
war has changed the emphasis
and nobody can be blamed. Except
in detail here and there. it had to
be that way. The change from an
economy of abundance to an econ
Omy of scarcity compelled a tenn
porary abandonment of old-fash- !
iOned principles. But in the long ,
run the old-fashiOned principles
will be restored. Exactly how this
will be accomplished. if business
taxes remain at their current level,
cannot be foreseen, but the change
will come.
Few of the best minds foresaw
the collapse of 1929 and the long
that followed. Few now
foresee what the end of the war
will bring, but we can be certain
that it will be something unex-
pected and, at the time, unwel-
come.

To whom it may concern:
Concerning Miss Anna Harris. a
long time resident of Shawnee Dis
trict, whose passing was of recent
date, it is being said, we, T. A. and
Mrs. Hall got her money, then sent
her to the poor house. The fol-
lowing are the facts: Some years
ago when her brother died the un-
dersigned was made administra-
tor and settled the estate to the
perfect satisfaction of Miss Harris
and her relatives; then for about
a year tried to sell her farm-fail-
ing Mrs. Hall and 1 then decided
to buy it ourselves. We bought it
at her price and paid every dollar
cash that was coming to her after
the mortgage was satisfied. Then
when we decided to move to it we
spent more than a hundred dollars
to fix one part of the house for
her, for which we were under no
obligation to do, but did it be-
cause she had no one else in Del
aware to look to, for that reason
we wanted to. We never tried to
persuade her to go to the Welfare
Home Though some of her neigh
bors as we'll as her folks up north
did but she went because she
wanted to and with the under
standing she could come back to
us at any time, and she spent the
last fourteen months of her life
there happy and contented; we
know she did for we often visited
her. No, we didn't take her money
then send her to the poor house.
We have not started treating any
body like that yet.
