Patronize Home People.

Patronize Home People
The following excellent article sn
this subject so clearly defines the DIFF
terence in treatment that you get and
the advantages you secure in trading
with the home merchant over sending
your order to some ''cheap store
away that we print 1t complete as it
appeared in the Abingdon, ILL.,, Kadak:
The man who buys his supplies at
home helps to build up his own town
and soon he sees city where there
| formerly was a village. That's what
we are seeing here in this little city
and the few people who will send
awav we feel Will soon reform, if they
only try the home merchants on the
same sized order, that they send away
and are always ready to pay him cash
as they do the mail order man.
Our people are awake to the fact
that we have the best people in this
part of the state. This is attested to
by the many instances of people NOV
ing away and then returning in a few
years-glad to be back TO old Trego
county again.
One of the most concise and con-
yincing statements of the situation is
put in the form of an advertisement
in the papers of Marshalltown, Iowa.
The facts are put IN the following
language
WHEN YOU BUY GOODS OF NAIL ORDER
ORDER HOUsE-YOU
1 Deal with strangers.
2 Buy from printed descriptions.
3 Send money In advance.
Wait for goods and fret.
Paw freight and charges.
Always pay full regular prices.
4 Support some city millionaires.
8 Must always have the cash.
The above eight facts are indisput-
able when put to the patrons of mail
order houses. On the other hand the
farmer, the laborer, the merchant
and the manufacturer are each more
or less interested in the welfare of
their neighbors. What is to the ad-
vantage of one ACQUIRES to the advan-
tage of the other Now, the other
side is stated like this:
WHEN YOU BUY GOODS OF THE HOME
MERCHANTS AND HOME MANUFAC-
TURED PRODUCTS YOU
1 Deal with your neighbors.
Buy the goods before you
Paw when you get the goods.
Work and make money.
5 Get goods delivered free
Return goods if not satisfactory.
Get frequent special bargains.
Build up home enterprise.
Are given credit when necessary

market is in this city may read the
above several times and get more
good out of the lines than they would

Record: SIN this good town we have
clown whose antics make one laugh.
He seeks for wealth at night by
stealth: you see he PLAYS bull calf
And this is how-he STRIPS your COW.
Tor he loves milky ways; and while
you're deep in honest sleep, he sucks
between two days. He'll soon be
caught "a sure he ought, this sucker
then viii bawi- He'll drop his pail
and go TO jail and find his proper stall.
Ii this don't cure the naughty boor
bell likely prove a wreck; and by and
by the law may tie halter round his
neck" We may be mistaken in con-
Guiding that this refers to the Kelly
affair. but it is the only line in the
paper which can be twisted into the
semblance of referring to it: and of
course the Governor would not pass

Cars Minister for Peace.

While Emperor Nicholas, whose
word is final, still declines to abandon
the prosecution OF the war and the
government maintains it's ability to
continue the conflict The Associated
Press states that powerful influences,
including several of the emperor's own
ministers, are now strongly urging that
the time has come 70 indicate to Japan
Russia's desire for peace upon a rea-
sonable basis.
Should Japan then attempt to impose
too onerous conditions, these influ-
enceS argue that, in view of the uni
versal wish to see the bloody conflict
ended Russia's position will be
strengthened abroad by the alienation
of sympathy from Japan, and the sit
uation at home improved when the
nation is made to understand that the
emperor's pacific proposals have been
met with impossible terms.
One of the emperor's ministers in a
conversation with The Associated
Press correspondent said:
eve have suffered bitter defeat on
land and sea. We can, however, still
continue the war. But both countries
have suffered great losses in blood
and treasure, and it would only profit
the rivals Of both were I'VE to fight
on until one OR the other is exhausted"
What would be Russia's attitude
On the subject of indemnity?"
Russia never yet has paid indemn-
1ty and history practically affords no
precedent for indemnity when terri
tory is not occupied to insure payment
and Japan holds not foot of Russian
territory. Japan could, however, take
the proceeds of the sale Of property
and rights of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way, which was built with Russian
money"
