Stafford in 1898.
Oold and foggy is the weather,
But the holidays are nigh,
When we'll eat the roasted turkey,
And devour the chicken pie .
Practicing are the limber footed,
For the dances that will pass,
When each bright faced dude like
laddie,
Will swing hia ditto, dude like lass.
These long nights are happy hours,
As we're gilding o'er the floor,
And we hearken to the Webfoot
showers,
Descending as they have oft before.
Now we hear the fiddles music,
And the bass' pleasant roar,
And the caller, as he hollers,
"Down the center and cast off four.";.
Swing the ladies to the middie.
Leave them there and they'll
fast.
Form a basket arms h"ok over,
"Get a move on while it lasts."

Weighing Things
The value of our groceries depends on
three things: How much you get for
your monev; how goon it is wnen you
get it, and' the price you pay for what
yon get. We have sugars that are
cheap and sugar that are good. We
have coffees that will satisfy the appe
tite and the pocketbook. Staple goods
at less than staple prices. We give you
mcney-snving health-saving cbancei.
