The directors of the Murdock Mer cantile company held a meeting a short time since, at which time they went over the business of the eoni panv for the past year, and consid ered ways and means of eliminating such a large number of accounts as were found to be on the books and which totaled to a large sum of money. These balances, remaining unpaid, and ranging from a frac tional part of a dollar up to large ! amounts, could be used to good ad : vantage by the company and they 'do not contemplete the continuance i of such large balances. Accordingly. 1 it was considered best to inaugurate ;a new system of doing business, by which credit would be extended to ' customers for only one months time, making all bills payable at the end of the month in which they are con tracted. In doing this, they win be able to realize a sufficient amount of money from the business each month to take care of purchases and other expenses of the business, and the plan will, in our opinion, work Sophomore Class Organizes The Sophomore clas of the Mur dock high school met last week and effected an organization, with the working committees appointed, and evincing a determination to go after the work in the school as well as the maintaining of the organization for social and other purposes.

Change in Store Policy! Commencing October 1st, all book accounts will be due: and payable the first of each month. Ve will mail you a statement of your account to reach you near the first of each month. We are compelled to do this on account of the in creasing capital required to conduct our business. By adopting this policy it will enable us to maker vou lower prices and thereby reduce the high cost of living something that we are all vitally interested in. Murdock Mercantile Co., JERRY Murdock, E. rVIcHUGH, Manager Nebraska Shaves Come Higher Now. In line with the higher cost of everything else. John Amgwert has advanced the price of shaves, and now they cost as much in Murdock as in other towns over the county, namely 20 cents. John does a good business and is an excellent work man, treating evrybody with cour tesy. Despite the fact that barbers in other towns raised the price of shaves a long time ago. John has held off until the present time, and now feels himself compelled to put the nickel raise into effect. Relative Sick in the South. Henry A. Guthmann, the banker, has been visiting during the past week in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he was called to look after some business matters. He was ac companied part of the way by I. G. Hornbeck, who went to Fort Worth. Texas, called there on account of the illness of his sister's husband, Mr. I. J. Wetherford. whose condi tion is serious. It is hoped that ho may find him greatly improved up on his arrival. The Murdock schools have orga nized a basket ball team, the person nel of which shows that something raore than ordinary may be expect ed along this line of sport during the present year. It is contemplated to match a number of games with the Teams from other schools and those behind the organization believe it will be able to carry off its share of the honors. While the Murdock school is only a ten grade school, it is hoped that with the redistrict ing of the schools, ours will become a f nil-fledged high s'-bool of twelve grades, giving the organization opportunity to contest with teams from schools of twelve grades, whereas they are restricted to ten grade schools now. The boys have arranged the lot between the store of Bauer & Kraft md that of L. Xeitzel for practicing as well as playing oyen air games, and it makes a nice place, although it cannot be used when the weather becomes severe. The team is under the management of Supt. J. H. Bur well and has elected as its captain Richard Tool. The assignment of nositions finds the boys placed as change is made necessary by tl of the vocational training school, which requires two I act of th double ex- neriods and the necessity of the tra study period f-r the students in their work in the school. Three-fourths of the high schools of the state have adopted the eight hour period as the most logical for the betterment of the schools and giving the students a greater oppor tunity for preparation of their sub jects and lessons. The work at the school is pro gressing very nicely and with the greater opportunity for study and preparation of the work, the stu dents will find a greater advantage in takinsr up the extended Course : of .the school.
