hut we have our own line, of troubles, i
The question ln Homeburg Is not how
to keep from spending so much money
but how to spend what we have. The
storekeepers don't pamper us. In fact
they are severe with us. .If we don t
buy what they effer the first year,
they store It up and we have to take It
the next Christmas. When the Home
burg storekeepers have had a bad
season, it's up to us to go pack the
next year and face the same1 old line
of Junk, lenowing it will be there until
we give in and buy it. There are two
Christmas gift edition copies of Trilby

He won't get another, either. Says
he was stung on the first one and he's
going to get his money back before he

about fifty cents a year in price, and
last year Steve Larson almost bought
it at four : dollars and seventy-five
cents - for Selma Snood. We have
hopes of him this year unless he and
Selma quarrel or get married, either
of which will be fatal."-
