Besides above donations we have
been called on scores Of times for
minor subscriptions for churches in
the country as we'll as in town.
Now we can hear some one say,
''Well we have to pay for all these
donations in the increase in prices
on goods we buy.N Yes we admit
that.
But suppose the merchants refuse
to help with these improvements,
suppose. if it were possible, that we
would be exempt from all kinds of
taxes, all donations, all credit bust
hess, don't you see how easily we
could sell our goods a great deal
cheaper than any mail order house.
We are competing with them to-
day, and we maintain that you can
not save any money by sending to
them.

4 We admit that you can get cheaper
grades Of goods, but if you buy the
same quality that we offer, you viii
have to pay just as much.
Then in conclusion we would sug-.
gest, That when you compare prices
to always give your home merchant
the same conditions that you must
give the mail order house. Submit
your order in quantities the same
and pay the bill spot cash or in ad-
vance.
The profits the people Of the Unit
ed States have paid to the mail order
houses of Chicago for inferior and
low class goods is immense. The
buildings that these firms have built
out of profits that should have gone
to the upbuilding Of your own town
are the wonder Of visitors to that
city. Sears Roebuck & Co. have
just erected buildings on forty acre
tract of land in the heart of Chicago
costing many millions of dollars.
What good does it do you?
Why not give this profit to your
home dealer, thereby helping to in
crease your own firm values, besides
making"your own home surroundings
as pleasant as possible. ..'
| Remember when you trade with
US here at home, you can examine
the goods before buying. Even after
buying, should you feel that the
goods did not suit you, you can re-
turn them to US, and we will cheer
fully refund the money that you paid
for them, without any trouble or red
tape.
Patronize your home merchants.
Yours for the best interest of home,

Manager Peoples Trading Co.

About j. Block, Candidate.

The appearance of a 'broadside'
announcing the candidacy Of julius
u. Block for the nomination for
governor, in the current issue Of the
st. Peter Free Press, aroused the sus-
picion on the part Of some Of the wise
ones that Attorney A. n. Eckstrom,
of this city might be able to shed a
few side lights on the most promin-
ent political event of the week, being
that he came here from the city Of
governors, actual and prospective,
and has the personal acquaintance Of
the gentleman in question.
The fact that Mr.. Eckstrom spent
last week in St. Paul and at his old
home created the idea that he might
have been down in consultation
regarding the development while still
in embryo. =: - -.
Mr.. Eckstrom denied having any
part in the announcement of Mr..
Block, upon being taxed with it, but
admitted the acquaintanceship. His
trip to St. Paul was purely of bust
ness nature and he took advantage of
the opportunity for a short visit at
home. Being pressed, he gave Mr..
Blocks biography condensed some
thing like this: Farmer boy, nurse
at state hospital, village marshal,
sheriff, and state treasurer. A con.
summate politician, shrewd, sociable,
judge of men and one who keeps
his own counsel.
Judging from this estimation OF
Mr.. Block it would seem that ne
would not make the announcement
he has unless he had something sub
stantial to build on.
Mr.. Eckstrom says both Governor
johnson and Mr.. Block are popular
in their home town.

Trade At Home

In comparing the prices of mer-
chandise Of local merchants to those
of mail order houses, a great many
people overlook the many points that
enter into such comparison.
AS rule mail order houses do not
sell the same quality of goods that
the local merchants do. II, as
sometimes happens, they do advertise
staple article that is usually sold by
local merchants it is done for adyer-
Using reasons, and the price made is
in some cases lower in Chicago than
in the country store. But if you are
conversant with mail order methods,
YOU will note that the merits OF such
articles are not prominently brought
out. Their way of restricting the
sale of such articles, is to elaborate
on the superior merits, of a substi-
tute article under their own brand,
and sold exclusively by them, and on
which they make large profit.
The customer Of the mail order
house must necessarily have conf
dence in the firm he deals with, and
if the substitute article is advertised
10 be better than the original, it is
but natural that he takes the bait,
and orders it. There is where the
buyer gives the mail order house a
longer profit than the local merchant
oc.l- &c
local merchant is robbed of his just
profit. The profit that the mail Or
der house made, and which the farm
er paid, is expended in the large city
to the detriment Of the sender MIN
self.
We have heard people say that the
merchants send their money out of
the country when they purchase
goods. This is true, but the profit
on the goods sold remains at home,
and is used to build up your town
and country. What do you suppose
your farm would be..worth if the pre-
sent towns in the Red River Valley
were not in existence?
If every one sent away for their
goods there would be no towns. All
there would be any need Of would be a
postot1ce and a depot: The city of
Warren pays annually into the county
treasury many thousands Of dollars
that hep to run the affairs of the
county. We have erected and main
tain schools in which your sons and
daughters are welcome as students,
that would be a credit to any COM
munity. Our churches and other
public buildings are the result of pro-
fits, in Whatever form, and no small
percentage comes from your local
dealers. TO illustrate to you what
actual conditions are. and give you
plausible reasons why we believe

would supply great many things, which would have the effect of greatly reducing the contractors figures. Thus only the actual cost of operating a steam shovel day divided by the num- Der of cubic yards excavated was put out as the cost of excavating. With the cost of the whole plant allowed for, the expense of maintenance and all the other factors reckoned with which would be necessary to arrive at the cost if the Government is to do it's own excavating, estimate of that cost would of course be much higher. It was thought here that Messrs. Taft and Shonts were fully aware of the char acter of the factors that went into MT. Wallace's estimate.
 On the subject of tho cost of exca- vating an old contractor who did much of 1t for the French said:
 Up to the present day it would be impossible to form a correct estimate of the cost of excavation from any regular work that has been accomp- lished. The machinery installed has never been run at It's full capacity, and neither it's full nor it's average capacity ia known. Under French methods earth excavations cost about so cents cuoie metre, rock about $3.
 Must Go Through Rock.
 ''The excavating work done by tht French. correctly speaking, was mere surface work. To the Americans will falI the much harder work of remov' ing the hardest kind of rock from deer levels With your improved modern machinery some conclude you will b' able to do the work much ch"9per thar the French estimate. I doubt 1t. The advantage may be offset by the uncon sidered fact that the cuts will daily be growing deeper and the dumps fur 1 ther and further away. The work wil
 move slower and slower and the ex penses will run on. I should say tha | the probability is that at least 10 pei cent. will be added to the cost of ex cavation every six months as the worl progresses Any estimate made nov without some allowance of this natur would be misleading"

 Some of the statements credited to Secretary Taft and MT.

Parts of the tes- timony of these officials, given before the Senate Committee, are resented py those who worked under MT. Wallace and know the peculiar conditions under which he served. There were two statements amounting to charges of in competency and stupidity that are so easily refuted it Is regarded strange they were made even after the moment- ary visits of inspection paid the great work by the officials in question.
 It was asserted that much of MT '. WalIaces work was worthless in that dirt he excavated was dumped in- the way of the work and will have to be removed.
