The plan suggested by him is the
formation of clubs by the ladies of the

ject Of aiding in the campaign for the
arousing Of sentiment in favor of pa
tronizing home industries and home
merchants. It is gallantly contended
that if the ladies, who are in reality
the purchasing agents Of the households,
were once aroused to the Importance
Of urging home trading, and formed
clubs for the purpose of encouraging
and fnrthering this idea, it would be
only q comparatively short time until
