OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY EAT MORE BREAD 3 A scientist of nation-wide reputation states that in our national diet cereals’ (bread) could well sup- ply .50 per cent and dairy products 20 per gent of the individual diet. Sl ] Real value is based on what any commodity gives, Dot .on what it costs in dollars and cents. Bread, judged by, this standard, % most any price our cheapest £0od... . Bread has been called “the token'of clvilization.” Ang the rapid strides in progress which the western world has made over the Orient is by many students attributed to the fact that bread is a more complete food than rice. One ‘noted:-authority says that if the consumption of bread in thé United States were increased even up to ‘36 per cent of the diet, people would gen- crally be better off as to health, and the cost of liv- ing would be percentibly lessened. We can well afford to learn a food lesson from the many European countries whose populdtions se- cure fully 60 per cent of their diet in the form of bread, §—>_ GOOD CREDIT : Any business man or credit manager'or' banker will tell you that fhmcte: is the basis of good cred-. e WHAT EDITORS THINK | The cow is 2 mighty important factor on the farm these stressing times. Yet how many farmers know for a certainty whether they arc just “keeping the cows” or if the cows are keeping them? -The right kind of a cow is the most efficient money-maker on the farm today. But to save the profit she produces, not only carcful and sensible feeding is negessary, but also climination of the boarder cows.—Roseau Times-Region. £ Is He a Béoster?

When you seek to open an‘account at the store, "you will not get far unless you show that you will do what you promise to do. Having once establish- ed your credit you must know that it either will get better or worse, that credit. never stands still. People who pay their bills promptly when due, or offer a legitimate explanation as to why they can not be paid, and who do not indulge in extravagant purchases just because they do not have to pass over the money at the time, will be surprised to see the ease with which they can open new accounts. On the other hand, folks who are indifferent to their obligations and who continuously buy unwisely. must expect to face the wnpleasant moment when their credit will be' entirely shut off. Pay your bills when .due; meet. your:notes ‘when they. mature,stand by your. promisés, or at'least prove your honest intentions and it will pay you a thousand fold. Good credit is a privilege; guard it zealously. . ; 1 § § OQUR WINTER ‘From a subseriber at Daytonna, Florida, comes a letter telling how the residents, in their ‘‘open work” houses, are shivering from “unseasonable cool* weather. Between the chill of Florida and - the freezing fogs (feels freezing whether it actually does or not) of California, there is not much choice. There is no use talking when it comes to down- right health-giving, cheek-painting, joy-generating, pep-producing, life-strengthening ozone, the bright, clear; sun-flooded, pine-perfumed air of good old Northern Minnesota has the soggy stretches of ‘the South, with its malaria rashes and unending sand, looking like a tramp dog in the parlor. 18 First strawberries of the season are on the mar- ket at 75 cents a box.

A “petition is heing‘ circulated and when signed missioners; asking that Williams be incorporated as a village. We believe that the time has come for incorporation. The population within a radius of one mile of Williams is more than the population re- quired by law. Williams would have more prestige as an incorporated village than it has now, as loan and insurance companies do not care to do business in unorganized villages. The same applies to those looking for busineas opportunities. The taxes would not be any higher and could be lower. It depend- ing on the people within the corporation limits.— Northern Light.
