Since assuming charge of The 1

we have had no easy task of gottiy; j
things straight. Our linotype nr*- L

things that ncdtlcd our attention,
and then every man in the office »j
taxed to hi* capacity to get our pa
per out on time.
But to cap the cllmav 'last week,
our machine rot wrong on the verv
day we nceded^t most. Letters-we
did not want would take, the place
of the ones we wanted and in. the
notice of the Methodist church there
appeared an "a” where an "o” should
have appeared.
^Everybody knows that no church
is a farce, and everybody knows that
our good Methodist church is work

work to “Quor-n’rt taste." and v ill

GETTING
READY—ARE YOU?
Thd lime when you should commcpce tuting OUR ICE reg*.
ubriy is about here, and we are woiiting hard to get our
deUvery system in tip-top shape. We are after a new high
record for efficiency this season. y
Are you getting ready, too? y Here are some things you
should do before our wagons come,if you wish to get the
best results from OUR ICE:
FIRST, TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR REFRIGERATOR. If
needs “fixing," have it repaired at once, provided it is
a good refrigerator and large enough for your needs. If
yon found it top small last season, trade it off or exchange
it immediately for one that has enough capacity to be a
real aaver and not an ice-eating aggravation. /
SECOND, RESOLVE TO BEGIN THE SEASON WITH
OUR COUPON BOOK, and to continue using it as long as
you takeice. This book wiD faff you qdite a lot on the
ice bill and a good deal more ip worry. It can not be lost
Pfrily, like saudi change, and it protects you from the
discomfort of handling wet, dirty change. Always buy
the book with the coupon that covers voor usual taking of
ice.- - /y ' »
THIRD, RESOLVE TO COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO US
if anything goes wrong with our service to you. We will
be much more interested in hearing about it than any out
sider could possibly be. and it will have our immediate at
tention. By acting on tin*sc suggestions you wjl! start the
season right and help us to keep right with you all th;-
warV through. /

FARMER SHOULD StflMUtT.

of the mcmb"ra of the Farmers’

“I promise hereafter to go to the'

support, rather than buy of a man
who proposes to take all and give

this law is a just law la one way end
In another I think the law Is out o
place. There Is a clause In the state
constitution somewhere w^ich pro
hibits separation, once a person' Is
married, and In view of this faeT
do not think that our legislators
should make a law req airing con
tracting parties to swear to anything
unless they will also have some way
for them to get out of their contract
through the name channels.. This.
I don’t think they.can and abide by
the state constitution But what of-|Vould support their friends, the
that, when marriage enters a per
son’s head they get married law or
no law, and If they swear fairly,
th«re are officers to enforce this law
and we think Anonymous is one of
them. The age limit for marrying
without, consent of • parents ts 18
years, and tf they have consent o#
parents they can mprry. at any age.
Maybe the two you spoke of had th*
consent of their parents. Jt they

county can prosecute them. ,

Tliere Js just as good grass oi
Jhls side of the fence as on the otl£
er. and It i* a whole lot easier to'
get. One does cot have to 'eave
home or to change his occupation to
find opportunities: they are all
about. The trouble Is that 80 many
of us devote too much Time to look
ing over the fence at the other fel
low’s grass, and thinking that if we
only had his chance we would do
things worth wbfter-while h*. like
the^ ones here, may be thinking tho
same way about us. X ,
There is Jqst aa good grass bn

ply your demands without your

yonr goods. There’s Just a* good
grass on this side of the fence as
the other.
THE FARMER PROBLEM.

against a tough proposition in having
to decide about their crops for this
year. As is usual the price of cotton

time, and the farmer will he tempted
fo plant more of the staple than he
formerly planted. Then the matter
of credit and supplies comes In. The
business men and the bonkers over
