These principles apply to a business as well
as to an individual. We practice these
great principles each day in our business
dealings. We have gained the confidence
of a good many good dressers in this com
munity and we shall try to retain it.

THE LEADER
Say, we have had all kinds of
weather dished up to us this
week. Last Friday and Satur
day started in with almost
spring tinge to the climate but
somebody lost their grip and
Saturday night the wind chang
ed to the North and what we got
Sunday and Monday was enough
to make the coal man smile
while the buyer stood around the
stove with one hand warming
while he handled the scuttle with
the other. The thermometer
registered mighty close to zero,
some people reporting that it
did get down that far while oth
ers claimed that it was four
above. Anyhow it was cold
enough for the News force.
Water pipes were frozen in a
number of places in the city but
there was no serious damage to
cattle or livestock. During Sun
day we had several small spits
of snow but not enough to make
much moisture. Tuesday the
weather moderated in the after
noon of that day and the remain
der of the time up till yesterday
noon when this report was writ
ten the weather was simply tine.
Wednesday night the man who
regulates the water supply tried
Ins hand and gave us quite a
good rain which fell slow enough
for it all to soak into the ground.
