aware Of the poor outlook for. them by
the intelligence that c. Fl. Chad

commissioner. Mr.. Chadbourne. like
the rest of Governor Lind's appoint

perience in business. He was until

promoters had experienced was the
great diversity Of opinions as to how
such an institution should be con-
Quoted, determined that this time a
surplus OF cooks should not be allowed
to spoil the broth, made arrangements
for the opening of the room without
consulting anyone outside of the So
ciety. AS soon as the arrangements
had proceeded far enough to warrant
the. opening Of the room they threw
open their parlors in the Galley build
ing and then informed outsiders that
contributions threading matter, funds,
ETC., would be acceptable and the con-
tributions came cheerfully.
It is proposed to keep the room open
every Sunday afternoon and each eve
ming of the week except Wednesday,.
when the society. uses the parlors for
its lodge meeting On the, tables will
be found good books, late magazines,
the daily papers, games, etc, and the
men and boys of Princeton will find
here an excellent place to spend their
evenings.
The society makes no charge for
rent, but as the cost of heating the
room will be about $l.00 per week they
ask all societies and persons interested
to contribute to this fund. Contribu-
tions, whether of money or reading
matter should be handed TO Mrs. Rose
Patterson or Mrs. Loretta Howard,
who will see that they are properly
placed
The accommodations are free to
every man or boy in Princeton and the
ladies cordially invite them all to
spend their evenings when away from
home with them. Two members of
the society will be in charge each
week, this week the superintendent
being Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. How
ard. &.
Although no public announcement
had been made the projectors were
greatly pleased M onday evening, the
Iopeningg 81 ght,stoS find that at least q
score OF the boys had learned Of the
existence of the room and showed their
appreciation by attending. People in
terested in this good work have SUBJ
scribed for magazines and the support
the ladies are receiving is certainly
gratifying. H.. ..."s
| Let's lend all possible assistance to
this enterprise and seek to perpetuate
it that the good work may long con-
tinue. e. -z-

SUPPLYTHOUSES.

An Example of How They Make Profits Is
r. Cited by a Contemporary.
The Cannon Falls Beacon tells the
following story of how farmer dis
covered the hooks of the catalogue
houses: "a citizen of this town bought
a steel range from one of our hardware
dealers. The buyer was satisfied with
his purchase and the dealer made a
fair profit. Soon afterward the pur-
chaser of the range was in Minneapo-
lis and went to supply house to investi-
gate prices on ranges and find out
whether they could be bought cheaper
there or in Cannon Falls. He was
shown q range of the same size, and
manufactured by the same firm, as the
one he had bought here, and the price
asked by the supply house was just
So 90 more than the price paid in Can
non Falls. To this price add the
freight to Cannon Falls and the cost is
still higher. The man who investi-
gated the matter was not deceived and
this statement is absolutely reliable.
But it has been demonstrated over and
over again that the purchase Of goods
from supply houses is a delusion and a
snare and he who practices it will in.
evitably pay more for his goods than
he would if he purchased them from
the dealers in the country towns. The
merchant in the country towns is the
only competitor this gigantic depart
ment stores of the cities has and peo
pie who will turn pale with rage at the
name of monopoly will give the coun,
try merchant the icy hand and send
their cash away to help build up the
very thing they hate as their worst
enemy, viz, monopoly. The merchan,
in the smaller town, or more generally
speaking, the retail merchant, stands
between the people and the Immense
department store monopolies and if By
|ashort sighted policy the former arr
driven out Of the field, the people vii
only have themselves to blame whel
they are compelled to pay monopol!

4 Mail Contract Firm Is Worrying About
a Mile Laos County Route.

4 Mail Contract Firm Is Worrying About
Mile Laos County Route.
The death Of James Cahill. who car
ried the mail between Princeton and
Estes Brook has brought about a con-
dition which the government con-
tractors do not relish.
The government periodically adver-
tises for bids for carrying mails over:
routes where railroads do not run and
it is practice for contracting firms to
lump price for large territory and
then depend on getting some one to
take the different routes off their
hands at a price which will leave
them profit. The Estes Brook route
prior to this time has yielded the car
rier sum considerable less than a
dollar per trip, but now the temporary
carrier is paid $3.50 per trip. The
original contractor is an Iowa firm and
this increase of compensation of course
is making deep cut into the profits of
their contract, hence the kick. But
Uncle Sam when he lets a contract for
the carrying of mails so many times a
week proposes to have that service
and the contractors are under bonds to
do it so they will be obliged to stand
the extra expense whether willing or
not ~ see-.~s - r. 49,. b.
These firms never carry the mails
themselves and therefore have nothing
invested in equipments, but by sub
letting at starvation figures manage to
pocket snug income each year. IF
the people realized that the carriers
were not getting what the government
really allows for the services per-
formed these firms would find it diff
cult to get men to do the work at
profitable figures, the carriers would
be- better off and the government
would lose nothing.
