It was six inches shorter and several iuohes narrower tbau too cape we are selling, and the woman was not satisfied, because it was too small. As a matter1 of aooommodatiou I took the cape and gave her one of onrs, she paying a difference of $5. then marked the mail order house cape at a very low figure and eold It, Tbe woman who sent away for the oape saved perhaps 50 or 75 centsi "I believe there should bs some move" made to stop mail order houses aud "boxcar" merchants from doing business in Idaho not that; we are greedy for that trade, tut the money should be kept at home and farmers and others who patronize these, outside merchants be made to realize tbey were', not getting their mouey's worth." - , . , County sobool nnerintendent Wei a announes that a local teachers institute and educational rally will beheld iu Athena, Friday evening, January 7. - " .
