The excessive high price of
paper, and everyting in fact, that
enters into the cost of publishing
a newspaper, farced the Mes-
quiter in 1918 to increase the
subscription price from $1.00 to
$1.50 a year. The cost of'every-
thing that makes up the cost of
a newspaper is still at the war
time level, except the paper on
which it is printed, and even
that costs more than double what
it did before the war. But this
is primarily a farming commun-

The Postmaster in discussing
the possibilities and probabilities
of the future, gave it as his opin-
ion that this country will soon
run out of Presidential timber,
as there will soon be no rail
splitters. Hogville is now the
only place he knows of where

thousand dollars a year to take,
the job as city manager, said if
the Commoner did not take the
job he would be glad to consider
it. Hank and Zero Peck have
for a long time been trying to
manage Hogville, free of charge.

We want every family in this
section to have the Mesquiter,
and we therefore announce that
the subscription price has been

August 13, but those in arrears
will of course, pay at the rate of
$1.50 a year up to August 13.

$12.00 Pound For
Wool In Year 1864
$12.00 Pound Wool z( rdPrcC
A "Tax in Kind" statement
and receipt issued to Mary A.
Bane at Roanoke, Va., in No-
vember, 1864, bears evidence of
prices paid for farm products in
those days that would cause the
recent high level that farm pro-
ducts have attained to shrink
into oblivion in comparison. This
unique paper is the property of
W. H. Bane, 712 Martinque
street, Dallas, son of Mary A.
Bane, and shows tha.t a tithe
(one-tenth), consisting of two
and one-half bushels of wheat,
was valued at $100, and three
pounds of wool valued at $36.
The current prices of $1.35 a
bushel for wheat and ten cents
a pound for wool gives the con-
sumer cause for thanks that
such prices do not now prevail,
while the producer may look up-
on the earlier prices with deep
regret that he can not find such
a market for his products today.
HOME TRADE VS.
ORDER
It is frequently alleged in fav-|
or of mail order buying, that the
enormous concern in some dis-
tant city buys in large quantities
so it can do business cheaper.
But fhis estimate neglects some
important items in the calcula-
tion.
The big city mail order house
is doing business in the most
costly kind of location. It must
pay big city prices for rents,
which is a large item. Its help
have to pay the highest costs of
living in big cities, and conse-
quently must be more highly
paid. Expenses run higher in
metropolitan centers, and the fel

T. R. Bond Of Terrell
To Succeed Talbot
Judge Thos. R. Bond of Ter-
rell, a well known lawyer, has
been appointed by Governor
Neff to succeed the late Judge J.
M. Talbot as Judge of the Court
of Civil Appeals at Dallas.
Judge Bond made the race for
flotorial Representative from the
district composed of Dallas and;
Kaufman counties several years
ago, but was defeated by T. G.
Collins of Grand Prairie. Last
year he made the race for Con-
gress to succeed Hon. James
Young of Kaufman, who was not
a candidate for reelection, but
was defeated for that office by
Morgan G. Sanders of Canton.

You can't disappoint a fellow

low who sends in by mail has to | pie, is a place where they can
buy goods distributed on this | lay aside their uncomfortable
higher level of expense. [clothes and their good manners.
Furthermore the mail order,'—Exchange
houses have a costly system off
distribution. If you go to your#
home dealer in Mesquite to buy
a shirt, he sells you one that has
been tansported in a large case
with one set of freight and truck-
ing charges only. The transpor-
tation costs on each individual
article is that packing case are
insignificant item.
But if you send off to some dis-
tant mail order house, you pay
an express or mail charge on a
small package that makes a large
percentage of the cost of the ar-
ticle. It is expensive and une-
conomical to send these little
packages all over the country,
and the local dealer makes a big
saving by combining a lot of pur-
chases in one shipment and get-
ting his transportation at bulk
rates.
It takes a complicated and
costly organization to run the
great business of a big mail or-
der house. Many high salaries
have to be paid, costly account-
ing systems have to be conducted
and the whole thing is run on an
elaborate system that makes the
expense account mount up and
creates a heavy charge on the
consumer who is persuaded to
buy in that way.

and has never fallen down on its claims.
The Fordson is simple in design, flexible in
control and operation.

Fashion Note: Of course a
girl won't believe this, but she
can get a beautiful complexion
by steaming her face over a
washtub; wringing out the
clothes makes the arms plump;
hanging them out on the line in-
creases the bust measurement,
and carrying them to and from
the yard makes the waistline

Since Americans are engaged
in such a large variety ot under-
takings and interests they are
likely to make the mistake of not
giving enough time and atten-
tion to the weightier and more
important matters. '1 he blame
attaches to each individual, so
when such responsibility is ours
we can well offord a very close
analysis of our own person and
activities. After this careful ex-
amination we need to set our-
selves about the task of attend-
ing to the things that should
concern us most. In order to do
this we may need to exercise a
larger degree of will power than
heretofore, but even this will
bring its own reward and with it
other blessings and larger op-
portunities. In all these things
each person is responsible.
In view of these facts there
are certain great opportunities
op 1 to us each week, but are
repeated oftener with certain
seasons of the year. Through-
out the South the summer sea-
son is given over to Evangelistic
work. Some people choose to
stay away from these special
services and try to forget that
they are neglecting that which
is to their own best interest and
real welfare. Regardless of the
evangelical denomination hold-
ing these services there are al-
ways enough Gospel truths pre-
sented to lead men to Christ, to
build up their spiritual life and
to strengthen their faith in God
and their fellow man. So then
each family and every individual
in the community should attend
and help in all revival and evan-p
gelistic services.
