This water has been secured from

THE TALE OF THE SHIRT
A "big business" man was phil
osophizing on the high cost of living.
"Take silk shirts," he observed, "and
let us see where \va- come out. In
my own case 1 am the proud possess
or of one of them, and it is all 1 can
afford.
When I want to splurge a
little 1 put it on and sail forth to
tantilize the sight of those who are
not fortunate enough to own so lux
urious an article of apparel." Now,
undoubtedly, that man could have af
forded many silk shirts, if he de
cided to buy them: but that is not
bis idea of thrift.
The incident stuck in my mind,
and a few days later when I was tak
ing in a bargain where two-fifty
shirts were sold for one-sixty-five,
asked the merchant whether he sold
many shirts. He said that the line
was "booming." and in reply to my
questioning the facts were brought
out that whereas these shirts sold
for from î-'> to $7 apiece before the
war, with not many purchasers, that
they seldom sell for less than $10
1
nowadays; and every Tom. Dick and
Harry buys them. "Why, people
who hardly had a whole shirt to their
back two or tree years ago, come in
here and buy several silk shirts at
a time," volunteered the merchant.
He added: "A lot of them can't af
ford to splurge so, but they have
more money than they ere accustom
ed to handle and they keep it rolling.
Some buy expensive garments in silk

Tomorrow evening, Friday, Sep

sailors and marines should meet at

steps toward the formation of a loc

The Grand Army organization in
a very few years will be extinct, ow

out, and the grand and noble work
which they have carried on since the
days of the rebellion will be taken up

greater war than the Grand Army
men did.

CONTRIBUTED LIBERALLY'
A subscription was taken up by
J. H. Grenzeback to defray the ex
penses of the Jerome brass band at
the Eden fair, he being authorized
to do so by the Jerome committee on
arrangements for said event.
Grenzeback soon found that he would
either have to slight some of the
business people by not asking them
to contribute, or he would have more
money than was needed to pay the
band boys for their day's work. How
ever, he went on soliciting, and the
surplus, amounting to a couple hun
dred dollars or so, will be given to
the band organization to buy instru
ments. music or whatever equipment
they may need. They were sorely in
need of funds to buy equipment, and
this little sum coming in at the op
portune moment will help to solve
the problem for them.
