Sanford Howie said that Squire Winchester must have ruined all his land that spring by plowing right through the wet weather. The big mercantile sales that are now going on in Monroe have been an astonishment to most folks. Four In full blast at one time and all doing well. It Is a lesson In business. When a concern will supply itself with goods that the people need at proper prices and then tell them about it, things move. All the stores conduct ing sales have used printer's ink largely but Judiciously. Suppose note of them had, what kind of sales would they have been conducting this week? The Journal is proud .of the fine ads it has been carrying and is yet carrying, not only because It is business for the paper but because it is a real service both to the merchants and the public.

They are alive to progressive ideas and anxious and ready to co-operate with every undertaking that looks to improving conditions in any direction.
