Buettner, Editor and Publisher Clara O. Buettner, Associate Editor Thursday. March 15. 1928 “I know Nt wtat the trath nay be, I tell it as ’twas told to ae.’—Editor. GANTS-BUCHTEL The following item is taken from last week’s Cromwell Advance: “The many friends of Miss Alary Buchtel and Mr. Winston Gants are now safe in extending their congratulations, as the young people have “owned up to the corn.” According to our chronology for 1924 they were married on the 25th day of December of that year, but some of our reporters claim the wedding occurred about two weeks ago, at . .which time Winston was seen to purchase a dime’s worth of beefsteak and half a dozen buns. Winston has coflfided to the editor that the 1924 date is an error, as at that time the lady of | his choice refused him, and it has taken the ensuing three years to convince her chat he was the man she wanted, and so the ceremony was performed on December 31, 192’1. at Middlebury. “Miss Buchtel is one ot the popular teachers in the schools at Syracuse, and Mr. Gants operates the bread wagon through the rooster district for the Biddle bakery.” o I NOT GUILTY A jury in the Circuit Court on I • Wednesday afternoon returned a verdict of not guilty in the case ; of the State against John Bowser, of Syracuse. The charge was that John Bowser left the scene of an automobile accident without reporting. The case was originally tiled in Justice Bell’s court, then venured to Justice Griffith in Warsaw. where it was found that a Justice has no jurisdiction, and was taken to the Circuit Court.

Elsie Nicodemus conducted the lesson. Delicious refreshments were served. o BANK STATEMENT IM .

Another way of putting it is to say that the sun reaches the first Spring sign of the zodiac—the sign of Aries. It is the one most welcome to many people, for that is when spring commences, lhe beginning of spring is not attended by any signs in the heavens, in fact, if it were not for the calculations of the astronomers, we should not know when it happened. ’lhe sun like the moon and planets, seems to move along a path in the heavens which is called the zodiac. To the ancient astrologers the less scientific forerunners of modern astronomers, the position of the sun was most important. They believed that it had an influence upon people who were born at a particular time of the year. For 1 that reason they divided the zodical belt into 12 “houses” or signs, three for each season. Even today, these signs can be seen in patent medicine almanacs, which show a nude man with lines'connecting the signs with the particular part of his body which each is supposed to influence.

WATCH YOUR DISCOUNTS Cash discounts are more important than a good many ” people think. It is not mere 2 per cent or 3 per cent now and again for the business man, but. steady margin of extra profit which can be had without any question of doubt or risk. It is merely a matter of prompt payment and it is much better business, if necessary, to borrow money and to pay 6 per cent, than to pass these discounts by. The American Mutual Magazine prints a table showing a possible earning of 54 per cent on a 3 per cent discount. The table should be pasted above every business man’s desk. 1 per cent in ten days—net 30 days—equals 18 per cent a year. 2 per cent in thirty days—net 4 months—equals 8 per cent a year. 2 per cent in ten days—net 60 days—equals 14 per cent a year. 2 per cent in thirty days—net 60 days—equals 24 per cent a year. 2 per cent in ten days—net 30

days—equals 36 per cent a year. 3 per cent in thirty days—net 60 days—equals 36 per cent a year. 3 per cent in ten days—net 60 days—equals 54 per cent a year. PERFECT TITLE “Fee simple” was originally “feoh simple” the first word meaning cattle, which in the days when that word was used was the source of all human wealth and not realty as is the case today. The “simple” meant “in its entirety.” Thus “fee simple” has come down to mean “an absolute title —the best that there is.” o L BAMBOO RIPENS SLOWLY The bureau of plant industry says that the bamboo tree receives its growth in a comparatively short time, but from five to ten years are required for the wood to ripen so that it will be of use commercially. * o L For mortgage see Geo.
