Just a few years ago it made little difference what you paid for
’13s srticl you bought.‘ You had a nice fat pocketbook and felt
.kindly i ward every merchant you patronized. You could afford to
be generous and buy the best. \Vithin the last few months this atti-
mdo has given away to one of careful and Judicious selection. This
‘mrked change pleases us. For we like to sell lumber to careful
"buyers. They know and appreciate good quality. They do not buy
so much but they pay enough to get a good grade of lumber and are
:Smr disappointed. We've had to be more careful in our own buy-
' mg. And that’s a- good thing too. It makes us study our business
and keeps us alert.

About 1500 people attended the re-
opening of the Sound Beach Fire-
nxvn's (farnicai last night. Although
ilier were a. number of people pres-
ent none of the booths were well pat
ronized. most of the interest of the
people being centered upon the
dance. platform' and the prospect of
another raid by the state police.
Following the recent trial of the
fourteen members of the depart-
ment who were arrested by the state
Police on August-15th.. plans were
made to reopen the carnival and to
take pains to see that the affair was
run off without money wheels.
There were no money wheels in
progress lashnight although a num-
ber of wheels were‘ in operation
where aluminum and dolls were giv-
en away. The punchboard. also a.
feature of past years. was discon-
tinued and ‘a chance table at which
various prizes were offered. was in
progress and did a fair business. _
Beyond a. doubt the best patroniz.
ed part of the carnival was the'
dance platform which was crowded
all evening with couples. The egg-
nival will run until next, Tuesday
when many large prizes, including a
sedan car. wil be given away.

You must not forget that Billy was a

This particular morning she
awoke at sunrise. but seeing a heavy

But just as she was dropping off to
