Cramer and wife return ed Tuesday night from an extend ed visit through eastern states , both looking well and enjoying good health. They left Valentine u year ago last Thanksgiving , go ing from here to St. Joseph , Mo. , where they visited for several months with a daughter. Mr. Cramer had run a sliver into his eye before leaving here and while in St. Joseph went to a specialist but could not save the sight and is now blind in his left eye , though his health has improved. They left there last February , going to Independence , Kan. , to visit Mr. Cramer's sister , and from there went , last May. to Lima , Ohio , the old home , where Mr. Cramer has brothers , sister and other rela tives and spent the summer with them , also going over into Indiana to a reunion of his mother's people ple where he met over 300 rela tives in one day whom they hadn't seen for years and some they ne'er had seen before. During his travels Mr. Cramer had oppor tunities to see how other people lived and progressed , but comes home better pleased with Cherry county as a place to live than any place he has been. The soil was worn in the east and the crops are not equal to Cherry county's bountiful crops , though perhaps they spend as much time farming iO acres as a man does here in farming 160 or more. The land values there are from § 100 to § 200 per acre and taxes arecorresponcl- ly high with less oppnriuriitie- increasing the value of their lanu than we have here and their rental value is double but pays the own er a smaller per cent on his money invested and the renter must be contented to raise no more but must work harder to raise the same amount of crops , with rnor * . expensive but less available horses and less to keep a team on and no opportunity to start a bunch of stock of his own without great expense in taking care of them. His living expenses would not be much higher and it costs but little to graze stock here. Good land can be bought here for § 10 to § 20 per acre. In Arabia Dec. 29.

Their heaviest mistake had been in a line of overcoats , which , it looked , they would , have to carry over a season. Efforts to \ gt cash for the stock were fruitless except at ruinous rates.t Inrt the firm went to an old timer in the trade for advice. "Well , " said the man of experience , "you've got a pretty good list of cus tomers. Just divide the coats up into lots of thirteen each. Send a batch apiece to soir.e of your sharpest cus tomers , brt make out the bill's for twelve. They'll be so tickled to get one coat for nothing that they'll take 'em ail. " The scheme had been tried before 'the men met again. The old timer waited for his praise. v "V.'ell , didn't they keep the coats ? " ho asked. "Yes , " returned the jobber sadly.
