Hill and lived here for 13 years.
when his parents removed to
Arkansas and from there to an
other point in Missouri again.
Many Of our older citizens win
remember them. Early, young
Benson concluded that an educa-
tion was a good thing to have
and he determined to have It.
He attended our public schools
here and at other points where
his parents lived until he gradu-
ated. Then he determined to
have a collegiate education. He
had no money, neither did his
parents, but this did not stand
in young Benson's way for mo-
ment. He began 70 work at such
work as he could get and by dint
of perseverance, pluck and ener-
gy has worked his way through
college and is this year the lead
ing member of the graduating
class Of Union College, at Col
legeview, Nebraska. What young
Benson has done any other boy
can do by using the same quail
ties. His whole family including
parents, brothers, sisters, aunts
and uncles take a pride in the
success of their young relative.
And the TRIBUNE gladly records
the honest effort and successful
triumph of the plucky young man,
a native Of Rich Hill and a Miss
ourian. He is a nephew of Mr.
and Mrs. w. T. Duvan, Ben F.
Moore and other relatives in this
community. During one of his
vacations, to turn an honest pen
ny, he tried selling books. He
thought il a good plan to sell Mr..
Bryan a good book. lie called
on the ex-candidate at his home
and sure enough sold the book.
Mr.. Bryan was so impressed by
the boys grit that he visited the
college and gave the young man
splendid endorsement, which re-
suited in the sale of many book
during that vacation. OF course
young Benson would not be him
self If he was not a warm friend
of Mr.. Bryan. Young Benson
is typical Missourian, He has
shown MS" what Missouri boy,
and especially one from Rich
Hill, can do if he viii. Ii we
have any more boys like him,
tell us about them 50 we can re
cord the fact. Young Benson
never spent his money for the
drinks or loaiing around a saloon
corner. Never wasted his time
playing might've, seven.up or
even an innocent game of poker
in some upstairs back room, but
put time in at work and, taking
Edisons advice, he never looked
at the clock. Whatever Benson
turns his attention 10 after his

columns, as we'll as in some other
papers, criticising farmers for
patronizing mail order houses,
and there seems to be no re-
sponse as yet, 1 thought I would
drop you a line on the subject.
These articles have informed US
list A farmer has no right to
send away for anything. The
merchant having acquired that
sole right.
From whom9
End The farmer could buy as
cheap from the home merchant
as from the factory through the
mail order house. But he does
not know it although he has been
buying from both. He needs
some metropolitan advice on the
subject.
3rd You should patr onize
home industry.
Yes, the merchant manufac-
lures all his merchandise behind
his counter or in the back room?
That is, if they are wet groceries.
4th You should spend your
money where you make it.
The merchant spends all the
money he gets from you about
home. He does not have to send
any of it away for more goods?
9Th When the farmer sends
off for goods he is interfering
with the prosperity of the town.
And when he sends to the dis
tillery for his whiskey, he is in
terfering with the prosperity of
the saloon.
9th The merchant pays taxes
and helps support the public
schools; he also helps take care
Of his sick neighbors and does
many other acts that a good citi.
zen or neighbor is expected to
do, and therefore should be
granted special privileges:
7th The merchant helps sup
port the churches, and for every
dollar SO contributed the farmers
should pay him a hundred out Of
their pockets.
sth The merchant carries the
farmer over a bad year. All
farmers have to be carried; none
Of them can walk aloneg
9th The farmer can get credit
of the home merchant. All farm
ers want credit; none have ever
tried the cash system
10th Did YOU ever try buying
a big bin Of the home merchant
and paying cash for ity
Some make that their practice
while others buy ON credit when
they could just as well pay cash,
and sometimes pay for what
some one else had gotten and had
been charged TO them by mis-
take, with the merchant ready
10 swear 20 his book though some
Of II be written in a hand that he
cannot read.
nth The farmer Is very much
lin need Of advice from that fellow
ltha; was raised ON a farm but
had 70 go 10 town 20 make a liv.
ing, and in many cases after be
ing there most of his lifetime his
lprinciple asset is a lot of blank
| fool advice, and he would even
give that away if anyone would
take il.
But now in conclusion let rs
say in justice to the merchant,
that he is not generally the one
that does the growing, but il is
the self appointed instructor
who has no other occupation than
th bark for some one else.
Wen, il has quit raining 81
will close. Have never bef0r,
written for a paper, and do mo-
know how this viii look in print
IL il escapes the waste basket.
Yours respectfully,
