HIGH PRICES AND LOST PENNIES.
In these days of high prices and ex
pensive living it behooves us to guard
the pennies with a far seeing eye.
Bad pennies sometimes return, but
good ones seldom do.
It therefore becomes our duty,
when we part with a good penny, to
secure the greatest possible returns
for it. Lost pennies soon mount into
dollars, and the vanishing dollar
blazes the way to poverty and eventu
al nowhere.
You can save the pennies and retain
the dollars if you will read carefully
each week the advertisements in this
paper. They will tell you at which
stores you can get the best bargains,
where quality is of the best and price
is at the minimum, where your true
interests lie when you go out to spend
the money that comes to you from
hours of heavy and unceasing toil.
None of us may hope to save all
that we earn, for we must live, and it
takes money these days to even exist.
We must spend a good portion ot
our earnings, often all of them, and
the judgment and care we use in that
expenditure will determine in a con
siderable measure the enjoyment and
pleasures of life.
If we buy at haphazzard we too fre
quently pay dearly for our indifference
and lack of economical foresight
whereas it we are prudent and assimi
late the knowledge that is laid be
fore us we at least have the satisfac
tion of knowing that we have done
the best that we could do under ex
isting circumstances.
Again we suggest, and emphasize
that the wise and prudent cdfurse
to pursue is to read carefully each
week the advertisements in this paper
Read them all, every one of them
for in little places big bargains are
often found.
High prices are here, and we as a
community can not prevent what a
whole nation must endure. But we
can, and should, prevent the unneces
sary loss of pennies through commer
cial indifference and neglect.
This is not a day of philanthropy,
and merchants are not advertising for
the sake of handing their money over
to the publisher.
They are doing it because they have
the goods and make the prices to back
up their advertisements, and it is to
the financial interest of the consumer
to dissect every advertisement and
take advantage of every opportunity
thus afforded.
The expense of reading an ad is
nothing but a little time when not
otherise engaged. The savings may
run into dollars.
IS YOUR MIND YOUR OWN?
We often hear people make the re
mark, “I have a mind of my own.”
Literally speaking, yes. But other
wise, No!
We can demonstrate the truth of
the latter statement by referring to
your own actions, by the actions of
your friends, and neighbors, by the ac
tions of the public in general.
No man has a mind wholly and ab
solutely his own in the generally ac
cepted sense of the word. No man
forms his conclusions entirely from
his own observations and reflections,
though many sincerely believe that
they do.
One simple illustration is sufficient
to prove the correctness of our con
tention.
Mr. Nameless Is one of our citizens
who “has a mind of his own." At
least he says he has, and he really
believes what he says.
He walks along our streets day by
day. Glaring defects in our municip
al system stare him in the face. He
sees them not—or seeing them, fails
to heed them. His mind is not con
cerned.
Another citizen comes along, points
them out, starts an agitation that
grows, and Mr. Nameless immediately
comes to life and joins the throng
with lusty shouts for improvement—
after the other fellow has done the
work.
If Mr. Nameless really “had a mind
of his own” the agitation would have
no effect whatever upon that mind.
But he hasn’t. His mind is just
like the minds of all of the rest of us.
just like the mind of every human be
ing—it can be influenced and swayed
by other minds, just as readily as the
work of his mind can influence the
minds of other people.
The articles we read, the words we
hear, our conversation of everyday
life all have a direct and a powerful
Influence over our own minds, often
diverting our convictions and ideas
into wholly different channels from
those formerly used.
i
A mind that is worth having is al
ways susceptible to change, to con
viction, to revision superintend by
the wisdom emanating from other
minds.
A mind that is wholly its own is no
mind at all.
FACTS REGARDING INCREASED
EARNINGS.
Gradually the real facts are leaking
out regarding the increase in railroad
earnings and the congestion of freight
on the Atlantic seaboard. Increased
railroad earnings have been pointed
to as an evidence of permanent gen
eral prosperity. Here are some of the
facts that account for the increase.
Demand for vessels to carry war
supplies to Europe has caused a large
portion of the ships formerly en
gaged in coastwise trade to be with
drawn, so that much freight that
would normally go by water now goes
by rail.
Slides in the Panama canal made it
necessary to ship coast-to-coast
freight overland. High water rates
due to the demand for transportation
to Europe made shipment around the
Horn impracticable.
The abronmally large grain crops
produced because of the prospect o£
war prices, gave the railroads a large
ly increased traffic from the Middle
West to Atlantic ports.
Increased freight rates have been
allowed by the International Com
merce Commission in certain terri
tory.
It will be observed that all these
factors, except the slight increase in
freight rates, depend upon the con
tinuance of the war and the over-sea
demand for our products. It is diffi
cult to understand how any far-sighted
business man can interpret increased
railroad earnings as a sign of pros
perity any more premanent that the
temporary and abnormal conditions
in which they have their origin.
“NOTHING IN FREE TRADE."
President Wilson says there is noth
ing in either the doctrine of free trade
or that of protection. We are willing
he should speak for the doctrine oi
free trade but there are others vastl>
more competent to speak for the doc
trine of protection. We shall entire
ly agree that there is nothing in fret
trade. We have proven it by sad ex
perience. But as for protection—
there is much in it. There is in it
for instance, a full dinner pail for thf
laborer, busy factories for industria
investors, plenty of business for re
tail merchants, wide-spread pros
perity in the United States, a full
federal treasury and no need for stami
taxes. Nothing in it? We shoult
worry.
AFTER THE WAR.
That the war cannot continue a
great while longer is a reasonable be
lief and that when it closes we shall
have a great deal to do in this eoun
try in adjusting our affairs to the new
conditions produced by the war is a
certainty.
The tariff will bulk big. We must
have a general revision taking intc
account the revisions that will be
forced on Europe. Tariff-making will
be a necessity everywhere; and we
must make ours to conform not onlj
to the requirements of our home mar
kets, but to those foreign markets
which we are hoping to enter and
cultivate.—Washington Star.
The $91,000,000 order for beef ste \
placed in Canada by Great Britain is
to be apportioned among Canadian
and American packet’s. Incidental
ly, the filling of this order will require
cans to the value of $5,000,000, the
contract for which will be placed with
the American Can Company, there be
ing no Can making industry in the Do
minion large enough to undertake
the contract. What Canada can't, we
can.
Charley Bryan was badly beaten for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor, but was nominated on the pop
ticket, receiving about fifty votes in
the state which nominated him. It
is not known whether Mr. Bryan will
accept the pop nomination or not. if
he does he would make it decidedly
interesting for the wet nominee on
the democratic ticket.
HISTORIC PLACES.
Miss Emma Outhouse, who is at
tending the Library school at Albany,
New York, has been writing such in
teresting letters to her home folks,
that the Woman’s Unity club thought
many of her friends would like to read
them. They begged to have the fol
lowing letter published:—In it she
describes something of their annual
visit to the New England Libraries.
The itinerary is planned by the school
Sunday gave her a chance for this in
teresting side trip.
(Sunday Afternoon, April 9, 1916).
Snowing this morning. We planned
to go to Concord and Lexington to
day and I hope we can go. Helen Gus
tin, a college friend of Cordelia, (my
roommate), a secretary of Boston As
sociated Charities, goes with us. We
shall take the trolley car to Concord
and then get a team and buggy to
drive around both towns. Boston is
an interesting city but not rushing
like New York and Chicago. People
don’t hurry; they can’t for the streets
are narrow and you have to elbow
your way through the crowd. Down

around Park Street, which is the busi
ness section, the streets are so nar
row and crooked that they seem like
a mystic maze. To make it worse
there are short cuts about three feet
wide between the buildings.
Mr. Love’s office (he is director of
the Providence Teachers’ Agency)
overlooks the old Granary Burying
Ground. Paul Revere, James Otis,
Samuel Adams. John Hancock, and
a host of other Revolutionary patriots
are buried here. Cordelia pointed to
the Athenaeum just across the way
and remarked, “There is life ‘beyond’
the grave.”
Since coming to Boston, I have
visited the libraries at Brookline.
Somerville, and Boston. Brookline
and Somerville are suburbs of Bos
ton, but each is larger than Lincoln.
They have model libraries, for the
rich people of the places keep up the
libraries. The Boston public library
is most wonderful! 1 wish you could
see the Abbey pictures, “The Guest
of the Holy Grail.” They are in the
hall and represent King Arthur's
search and finding the Holy Grail. I
tried to get “The Knighting of King
Arthur” but couldn’t for there is a
copyright on each.
Sunday Evening,—It snowed hard
this afternoon so Helen and Cordelia
gave up the Concord trip. I was de
termined to go. Mr. Love went with
me. We trollied (?) first to Lexing
ton and saw the battlefield. It was
snow covered and made me think of
Lowell’s lines:
“Tis winter and there is no sound up
on the air
Save wind upon the battle ground,
and gently there
The snow is falling all around. How
fair! How fair!”
The field is marked by a huge bould
er on which is carved a rifle and this
inscription. “Don’t fire, unless fired
upon, but if they mean to have war
let it begin here.”
We took another trolley to Concord,
then hired one of the numerous jit
neys and rode around the village.
First vie went to Emerson's home,
which is a large, square, two story
yellow house well kept. Emerson's son
lives in it now.
Then we stopped at Hawthorne’s
house and saw the “House of Seven
Gables.” There is a queer cupola on
the house which was Hawthorne’s
study. Mr. Love said that Hawlitorne
climbed into his study by a ladder
and pulled the ladder up after himself
so that he might be alone.
The next place on the road was the
Alcott house. It has recently been
restored but is not open to the public
till April 19, alas! By it is a big white
mansion, the Laurence home of “Little
Women.” It is much the same as
she described it, at least I picked out
the apple tree which they rocked in, to
my satisfaction. The house is still
painted brown and the "Palace Beau
tiful” is perfectly enormous with the
long on the side.
Across the town is the house which
Hawthorne described in “Mosses from
an old Manse.” It is a low, two story
house with a bungalow roof, painted
a black green exactly the right shade
to suggest its name. Not far from it
is Concord bridge and battlefield.
There is a monument of the “Minute
Man” here on the pedestal of which
is the first stanza of Emerson’s “Con
cord Hymn,"—
“On the rude bridge which marked the
flood
Its flag to April breeze unfurled
Here first the embattled farmers
stood
And fired the shot heard round the
world.”
Near it is a lowr stone erected to
the English sons who died on the
battlefield. The stone has the follow
ing lines from Lowell.—
“They came three thousand miles, and
died,
To keep the Past upon its throne.
Unheard beyond the ocean tide.
Their English mother made her
moan.”
We came down the road of Paul
Revere’s ride and passed Sleepy Hollow
where Emerson, Hawthorne. Thoreau
and Louisa M. Alcott are buried. Com
ing home on the trolley, we passed
Walden Pond where Thoreau lived.
Now when you remeber that we saw
all this in a snowstorm, you realize
that I really wanted to see. Tomorrow
to Salem; Wednesday. Providence
and then back to Albany.—Emma
Outhouse.

Are You Efficient?
In these days of fierce competition, to succeed re
quires all our talents. Many an earnest, ambitious per
\ son falls short of complete success because of something
that holds him back. Very often the cause is eye-strain.
YOU can be a better stenographer, salesman, mechanic,
baker, housewife—if you will remove the handicap of
eye-strain. Eye-strain can be removed—remember that.
So that puts the matter squarely up to you, doesn’t it?
We are eye-strain EXPERTS. Let us examine your
eyes and supply glasses that will give you an equal
! chance with others.
We have installed the dark room, which is an abso
lute necessity to do this fitting. We invite you to inspect
our optical parlor. Eyes examined free of charge.
Guaranteed glasses at reasonable prices—$3.00 up.

OMAHA TAKES SECOND PLACE
IN LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Omaha is today the second greatest
live stock and packing center in the
world. Figures compiled at the lead
ing packing centers of the country
for the first three months of this year
prove this conclusively. Kansas City
has long claimed the distinction, but
receipts in the stock yards at the
leading markets of the country, for
the first quarter of this year, show
that Omaha is in the lead with a ma
jority of 361,000 head of live stock.
The stock yards at Omaha made
new records in all three months of
the first quarter of this year, the re
ceipts being: Hogs, 1.116.434; Cattle.
3S5.342; Sheep. 586.597.
Omaha's steady growth as a live
stock market is remarkable when the
comparative youth of this metropolis
is considered. In 1915 a total of 7,
171,223 head of live stock came to the
Union Stock Yards at Omaha. Of
this inconceivably vast quantity of
stock 4.750,223 head were killed, con
verted into meat and sold to all parts
of the world.
WHAT TO DO WITH WORMY PIGS.
Little pigs become infected with
worms by the litter picked up in old •
hog houses, pens and pastures, eggs i
having been passed off by the older (
hogs. Sanitation, including freedom <
from dirt, drainage, sunshine, freedom t
from dust, and other disinfectants are t
the best preventatives. The College J
of Agriculture suggests that santonin j r
and calomel is the best means of rid- j f
fling hogs of worms. Ordinarily five j i
grains of santonin and three grains of c
calomel when mixed in a thin slop is (
sufficient for 100-pound pigs. Care; t
should be taken to see that at feeding r
:he pigs get a fairly equal amount, e
fifty-pound shoats may be given four 1
grains of santonin and two grains of l
calomel. Big hogs should be given
fix grains of santonin and four grains
>f calomel. ti
