OUACk DOCTOR
OF COMMERCE
Striking Arguments Which
Show Their Weakness.

In a pamphlet issued by Butler
Brothers, the great Chicago-St.
Louis New York wholesale house,
the mail order problem is handled
with great logic. One of the most
telling arguments in the entire
/ book is so similar to those long put
forward by this paper that it is
reproduced herewith with the
heartiest endorsement. 1t is rec
commended for use in home papers
and is as follows:
The mail order business is the
quack doctor of commerce. 1t
promises much and guarantees
nothing. Like patent medicines,
the directions are always ON the
inside and you have to buy non
returnable package before you can
find out what they are.
No mail order house helped to
build the little white school in
your district or turnpike the road
past ycur door. No mail order
house ever took you by the hand
when you were in distress, and
told YOU to let that little account
20 until after the harvest next
year. No mail order house ever
sold you vehicle and spent every
cent of its profits right in the
community where you and your
neighbors could get it all back
again. No mail order house ever
showed its patent leather shoes
under your table and rejoiced with
you when you were glad, nor spoke
encouraging words in atfiiction, nor
stood with uncovered head besides
the graves when you children
died.
No. the mail order house is after
money Every dollar it gets its
hand on will be ierked out of your
neigh borhood forever. The mail
order house may bear upon its face
the semblance of friendship. but
no human heart beats under its
cloak of hypocrisy. Sentiment to
it is unknown. The whole institu-
ton is as cold and bloodless as a
corpse.
"All the mail order houses in
Christendom would not increase
the value of your farm a cent
They are parasites to whom life is
only possible as long us they can
suck blood out of the communities,
to the upbuilding of which they
contribute nothing. They create
no local market for the products
you have for sale. They have no
property in your county that can be
assessed to help bear your burden
of taxation.
Your local dealer needs neither
advocate nor defense His methods
rest upon principles that have
built up in this country system
of internal commerce which is the
marvel and admiration of the world
His business is legitimate because
its success contributes to the gen.
eral prosperity of the community
that built it up.
Your local dealer stands ready
to duplicate every offer so seduct.
lively set forth in the catalogues OF
mail order houses and more. He
will trump the best trick the mai
order house ever played if you will
put down spot cash and accept
from him a class of goods devoid
of respectable ancestry, and upon
which no reputable manufacturer

RADIO is most gratifying. While a
number of our citizens have donat-
ed literally, most of the contribu-
tions have come from the school
children as will be seen by the list
of contributors published below.
The children of the Bountiful
school outdid the La lara school
and head the list by several dollars.
Many towns with many more in

eAIENA COMES ASHORE.
Is Now Fully Half Mile From Deep
Water.

Astoria, Or, Nov. 16.--The British
ship Galena, wrecked on Clatsop
Beach, stood the storm of last night
remarkably well. and is now about
two ships lengths further up the
beach than when she first struck.
Captain Howell and a few Of the
members of the crew went down TO
the scene this morning, and will
place safely her yards and everything
heavy aloft. While this work is in
progress they will live in one OF the
hunting lodges near the West Sta
tion, which is within short distance
OF the wreck. The vessel was not
insured, so her owners alone will
have to look out for her safety.
A quarter of mile from where
she lays is deep water, and II she is
kedged off that far II will be possi-
Bile for a tug to get hawser to her.
An attempt of this kind would not
be made before next June, when all
conditions are usually favorable. One
thing m favor OF getting her Off is
the fact that there are no currents
shown, by there being no drift logs
on the beach.

Improvement is the order of the age.
There was time when Lard was considered
the only shortening. To-day, the only people
who use lard for shortening and frying pur-
poses are those who are not familiar with the
virtues of Cottoienc. 1t pays to be abreast of
the times. CottoLene is not only superior to
lard from health standpoint, being vegetable
rather than an animal product, but it will make
more palatable food than lard; and it is more

Bear in mind that the Starr Piano
is not an experiment, but that it has
an established reputation, backed by
more than third of century of con-
stantly increasing success. The
Starr Piano has been accorded the
highest honors for musical excel
lence and extreme durability by the
most prominent industrial and art ex-
positions of recent years, and in ad-
dition has been enthusiastically en-
dorsed by artists, teachers, conserva-
tories and educational institutions,
and the best experts of the age on
piano construction, music and har-
mony. Musically and INTELLECTUALLY,
the Starr Piano has been perfected
to the highest degree of excellence
attainable, and guaranteed to give
the best of satisfaction
1t can be readily understood that
immense capital is required to con-
duct a business of such magnitude,
and in this resi- ect the Starr Piano
Company is particularly fortunate, as
financial resources enable it, without
the burden and additional expense of
bonds. preferred stock, etc, to make

In addition to the line of artistic
models of grand and upright pianos
manufactured, the company is pre-
pared to make up special designs to
order following any type of architec-
ture that may be desired, while mu-
sically and mechanically giving the
Starr quality, which. in every detail is
the highest, and Strictly first-class.
If one could take the time to make
a thorough investigation of the caus-
es which have led up to the satisfac

ano gladly admits he feels in such
ownership, it would be found that a
meritorious product, honestly manu-

the source of success. There is an

Farm Land a Speciality
J.E. Moore, Real Estate Dealer Rep
resents Miami Valley Farm Ex-
change in This County.

Owing to its steady growth and
continued prosperity, Richmond as a
city, has proven a good field for real
estate dealers, as there is always a
demand for property well located. 1t
was formerly the custom, and is yet
in some localities, to look with sus-
picion and contempt upon the real
estate vender, due largely to the
methods of many dealers, and the I'M
scrupulous ways of some agents.
]. E. Moore is real estate agent
who stands high in the opinion of
those who have had business dealings
with him. It is not Mr. Moore's pol
icy to bull-doze, brow beat or attempt
to force property on the inexperi-
enced or the experienced. He believes
that the average seeker of city prop
erty. or improved farm land, has
right to personal opinions.
Mr.. Moore has large business
which he has built up through honest
and conscientious dealings. Those
seeking good farm at fair prices, or
property of any sort, for that matter,
can rest assured that if Mr.. Moore
acts as their agent that the title to
anything they might purchase will be
straight, and free from any legal tan
giles whatever. 1t is Mr.. Moore's poll
cy 10 have a clear understanding be-
tween both the owner and the intend
ing purchaser before any contract is
closed. In this way there is no hitch
es or misunderstanding in the con-
summation of deal. Mr. Moore is
sole representative for the Miami
Valley Farm Exchange, and he has
some of the best farm property in
this and adjoining counties on his
books. Farm lands are his specially.

of the Starr piano. Standing well at
home it is little wonder that the
Starr is so highly esteemed wherev-
er it finds its way.
Some of the greatest musicians OF
this country have unhesitatingly en-
dorsed it and the voluntary letters of
approval from Creator and Sig. Vim
cenzo Stea are reproduced in con
nection with this article. They stand
alone as rejecting the honesty and
merit of the Starr Piano-the instru-
ment which has done its part toward
revolutioniZing household music.
Keening apace with the times and
the demand of the people, the Starr
Piano Company is manufacturing
high grade Player Pianos, the instru-
meats which may be played either by
hand or which may be made to do
the bidding of the person uneducated
in music by means of the mechanical
device built within. These instru-
ments conform with the other grades
of pianos built by this company,
standing unparalleled in perfection
of workma nship and in the artistic
results achieved.

THE STARR PIANO COMPANY
in Build
GadeIn o Mos
resof the Kndn the World

A resume of the industrial develop
ment of the city of Richmond would
be absolutely valueless from the
standpoint of accuracy without the
Starr Piano Company occupying first
place among those concerns which
are widely known. 1t is not exagger-
ated to say that the Starr Piano
Company is known to more people in
these United States than any other
product which comes forth from the
manufacturing establishments of the
city of Richmond. There is reason for
this. The piano is the home device
for pleasure. Few other manufac.
tured articles in Richmond enter the
home and no matter how extensive
the range of their sale. such pro-
ducts do not become a household JOY.
The almost wonderful achievement
of the Starr Piano Company in the
upbuilding of its business probably
stands without parallel in the piano
manufacturing trade. Merit alone has
accomplished that which many other
concerns of similar character have
striven for and failed to realize. In
