Today it ia said by those who hive gone carefully into the problem, forty per cent of household furnishing sales in come localities are d trades. We feel that we eannoi insist too strongly or too often upon citizens of Price giving this matter serious attention. The concern selling bypeddler and delivering by parcels does not protect the customer FJt either in price or quality and his "guarantees are meaningless. The prise argument is not sound, because the agent commission of t3i exceeds the total mark-u- p of the local dealer. The dealer doesn't contribute to the taxes of the county or the town. The firm the solicitor represents has never done anything to help build up this community, and to make a sale the solicitor, or peddler, attacka our -- ntire ayriem of Lome cooperation.

SETTER TIMES ARE SURE COMING NOW ON TEE WAY Price citizens will be interested in knowing that weather conditions in all parts of the eonntry, although abnormal this summer, have been such that on the whole all kinds of crops are yielding more bountifully than the government predicted early in the jniug. With but two exceptions, this will be the biggest corn year in the history of the nation. Winter wheat has suffered, but spring wheat is fine. This years wheat crop is short of 1924, but better prices are being maintained, and fanners are being advised to hold as long as possible so as to cash in on another rise, which seems almost snre to come. Potato growing states report smaller crops than usual, due to reduced acreage. But here, again, prices will make up for the shortage. It seems to have been an for fruit or ips. though some sections report beMer than an average. In his latest report Uncle Sam says that the per capita production on American farms last year was $24100. In other words, enough food was produced and sold to mean $266.00. for each farm, big and little. This is ahead of 1923, and this year promises off-ye- SMI ar to average rv-- n still higher. The railg roads rejxirt car loadings more ears are being used to move crops than at any similar time in the history of the country. In fact, all indications point to a prosperous year for those who raise our f s tuffs and, with unemployment growing rapidly better, the remainder of the year ought to see the entire country enjoying a pretty fair measure ofprosperity.

THE RETURN OF SCHOOL DAYS NO LONGER A NIGHTMARE Ask any Price boy which of the twelve months in the year he would be willing to eliminate and he will answer "August." And when you ask him why the chances are he will explain that August only brings him around to September and Septem- ber brings school Yet somehow we cant help feeling that the old dread of school that once hovered over some of ns like a nightmare has disappeared. We believe new methods of teaching, new forms of recreation during the leisure moments, perhaps, more interesting textbooks, have all served to make school attendance far more popular and plansant now than it was in earlier times. There isnt the grind to the "three Rs" there was when we were yunng, and neither does the inclination to "Play hookey" appear as strong in the present generation. Teaching children thrift and what it means to be able to take a good position in the world at the dose of their school days has had much to do with taking the sting out of school attendance. Examples of success are more Years Ago This numerous than in days when opporWeek tunities were not so great So, all in all, the return cf September and the school days doesnt mean as much Dr. A. W.
