Tlio election on tho $45,000 bond
Insiio for tho purchaso of property
and erection of n high school build
lute will tako place next Haturday a
week, May 10. From Kcueral Indi
cations thcro seems n fair prospect
for a cloto election, especially as
those most directly Interested In Retting-
tho school located In Wlestorla,
tho site that will bo put up, are cam-
palKtiliiR hard.
Ono fact In connection with tho
matter that, It Is ballove.d has not
been Kuncrnlly known, was developed
yesterday, In nn Interview with J.
I. Knyi'H, manaRer of Tho llend Com
lisny. Mr. Keycs Is frankly opposed
to tho proposed bond Issue. tnklnK
tho Kround that It Is more than tho
town need or can ufTord, and that
tho hlRhor taxes may prove a very se
rious obstaclo to those contemplatlnR
local manuracturltiK Investment.
"Hut what I especially want to
say," added Mr. Keycs, "Is that Tho
llend Company owns sIlRhtly moro
than half of tho proponed alto. I want
this to bo known rlRht now. Up to
tho present It has been Reuerally un
derstood that Mr. Wlcst wna tho solo
owner of tho tract, and I hao under
sood that this has been usod as an
nrRiimnnt In favor of this property
as opposed to tho other tracts offered
by this company."

that my present course may get mo on speak

This, then, is to Bay that on and after Juno first

All accounts 90 days past duo that are not paid by
May 10th will bo placed in hands of an attorney for

I have lost none of my lovo for tho American peo
ple; this is purely a business proposition, absolutely
Impersonal, uctuated by a desire to give my patrons
lower prices and to give myself moro money in tho
drawer and less on the books.
"Pay as you go," I bclievo, is tho better way, tho
Bnfor way, especially in these strenuous times when we
treat the dollar lightly and thrift has becomo a for-.
gotten virtue.
Everybody knows that a certain percentage of
chargo accounts eventually go to profit and loss. Who
pays tho mnrgih of loss? Tho honest man, of course.
