Memories of the Past...

Body
JANUARY, 1914: Henry Starman received $8/100 for hogs with a shrink of only 160 pounds; During the New Year, remember don’t snore in church-it keeps others awake. Don’t pay as you go-keep enough to get back. Don’t get married with the idea misery loves company. Don’t forget in times of peace to prepare for war. That’s about the only use some of us have for peace, don’t expect opportunity to come to you with a letter of introduction; It had been an open winter by the second week; Two-quart pudding pans, 10 cents each, spoons, five cents, white enamel pails, 60 cents, two-quart coffee pots, 15 cents at the Variety Store; The central office would close at 9:30 p.m. until March; KVAM Mercantile had 10 cents off all shoes; The entire opium crop of Turkey was 17,000 cases at 150 pounds net each case; The Germans were successful at generating electricity with windmills; George Stewart visited Virginia and reported land was selling for $100 to $150 an acre, close to Roanoke $200 to $800 per acre; Jan. 26 was observed as Child Labor Law Day in Nebraska.
