ARE INAUGURATING
NEW STORE SYSTEM
Murdock Mercantile Company Pro
poses to Limit Credit to 30
Days' Duration.
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

TO INCREASE THE

. i
Basket Bll and Boxing
To stimulate the best of interest
in the schools for. the young men
and women as well, a basket ball
team has been organized by he
boys under the management of Su
perintendent Uurwell. and boxing
lessons will also probably be insti
tuted. There is some thought of
the organization of a basket ball
i team for the girls as well. The,
bonds of interest between scholars
and teachers are fast becoming of
one that will arouse much interest
among the people of this vicinity
and especially the music loving por
tion. And who doesn't love music?
The concert company comes well
recommended an,d will please the
most fastidious tastes with a reper
toire of classical selections, inter-,
spersed with a bit of popular mu
sic. lo not forget .the date of this
opening number of the course nor
allow anything to interfert . with'

We are compelled to do this on account of the in

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 :
