ductive and unproductive expenditure
but the old school economists were
narrow in psychology. Ii being will
ing to throw silver dollars into the
water for the pleasure Of watching
them sink, to take an extreme case,
makes a mans disposition more con
fident, more careless OF tie extraneous,
more energetic and original when he
thinks about the principles OF his
business, even those dollars are pro-
ductive. CONFERENCE.-THE speed and
constancy with which credit and other
capital are in use--does lions share
toward Increasing productive power !;
and the great confidence of America
is hardly sert,able from her split ci
profusion. The typical modern busi-
ness man knows the difference be-
tween personal and business economy.
He knows that II Thousand dollars,
spent for Il small whin,, may never be
missed, but that fraction Of a cent
saved ON each object that he manu-
factures may mean success and wealth
Economy in production allows extra
vagance in living, and the greatest
economy in production is often reach
ed by generous expenditure for wages,
for material, for machinery, for sal
aries, for whatever will "make good.''
We may do later the things that take
patience and long brooding. Our con.
Germ, just now, is to get rich, and we
do that on the grand scale.
NURSE the blamed trusts and then
~ the minute you get ten dollars
ahead send in an order to Mortgom-
cry, Ward & Co., Sears, Roebuck & Co
etc, and help support one OF the big.
gest trusts in the country. What if
you get your goods a triile cheaper
that is what the trusts claim to do.
They crush out competition by their
low prices and if you take the benefit
you simply sustain them in their con-
tention. Every dollar sent to mail
order houses is just that much toward
building up trusts. Montgomery,
Ward & Co. are not philanthrophists
in any sense of the word. They arc
shrewd business men who by judicious
advertising have built up trust that
bids fair to wreck the majority OF
small towns. II you desire this send
them your cash and get credit at your
home merchants and denouncc the
trusts. Let your actions speak for you
and preach what yon practice.
DREATHlTT COUNTY, KY, is
NOnot large county, either in ter
ritory or population, yet within three

The situation is one that should at

Our forefathers gave it, immortal its
Unfurl'd long ago beneath Liberty's

fields of azure,
Its stripes tell the story OF honor

Determined, God guarded, prepar-

They left us the banner which glo-

ANA Wnlle meath the roses sleeps each
brave defender,
We thank them anew for the homes
that we prize;
Our eagle scars proudly above the
tall mountain
And battles his dark pinions in Lib

While millions drink freely from
Freedoms fair fountain
In the heart Of the land that our

To the altars of Freedom the millions
are bringing
The fame of the fight that our FORE
