general land office, had made a ruling
that thereafter no trees less than eight
inches in diameter should be cut down
for agricultural or mining purposes in

had always previously proved an eff
fective peroration by asking the ques

Stand by your home dealer. Patro-
nize the man who dares to lay in stock
Of goods in anticipation of your wants.
He is the man who is constantly on the
"quivive" for new ideas in decoration,
which he will impart to you intelligently
and cheerfully. He is an important
factor in the dissemination of new ideas
in his particular line. He is out for the
almighty dollar In common with every
one else, but he cannot afford to swindle
YOU, self-interest, IL nothing else, would
prevent this. He is the man who helps
to pay for the streets upon which you
walk, for the schools In which your chill
dren, and perhaps you, have been edu-
Gated, helps to keep up the church In
which you worship. He is the man who
built home which enhances the value
Of your property, and he is found to be
foremost 10 every benevolent enterprise.
He bears his share of the burden of city
government, stands right By you in sun
shine and in darkness, in days of pros.
perity and adversely. These are but a
few reasons why your patronage should
he given your neighboring storekeeper.
