The fir9men are pleased to res
ceive their annual compensation,
which comes in handy in purchase
of Christmas gifts. Lancaster fire
men are paid soc for each meeting
they attend and soc for each fire
they respond to. This year the
Hose company receives a total of
1851. 80 and the Hook & Ladder
company $158.5O. One man Of each
company was faithful enough TO
draw the full amount entitled to
him. There were s FIRE alarms the
past year and II regular meetings
of each company, thus making the
sum Of so. Wilbur Frost secured
the only so as a member of the
hose company and John Klarman
was the one to secure this whole
amount as a member of the Hook
q Ladder company. The Hose COM
pany received $174 from the city
treasury last year and the Hook &
Ladder company $144 so. The diff
ference in amounts paid tie respec-
tive companies is due to the fact
that the Hose company has larger
membership than does the other
company.

4 GOOD SCHEME.
The Path Of a Dollar and the Debts
1t Paid.

A Kansas jeweler recently adopt
ed novel method of showing the
advantages of trading at home, and
he states that his thorough adj
vertising of this one idea he's made
wonderful falling off in the
amount OF mail orders going out of
his town.
He pinned slip of paper to the
back of dollar bill and on the top
of it was printed the request that
all persons receiving the bill should
sign their names to the slip, to
show how often it changed hands.
In two weeks that bill came back to
him again, and 1t had changed
hands twenty-four times. He got
out a circular telling of the expert
ment, and gave list Of the names
signed to the slip, and he tried to
place one of these circulars IN
every house in his section OF the
country. He also received the aid
of the publisher of the local paper,
who was only too glad TO show the
people the advantage of keeping
their money in the community, ana
there was a long article in the local
paper. The idea appealed to the
people 1t was a good example OF
what one dollar would 90 in the
way of keeping something going on,

You can do this for yourself.
Your brother merchants viii help
you, and while you may not be
able to show such a large list of
transfers, you can be making a good
showing with little effort, and the
argument is good.
Suppose you then start your
circulars by calling attention to the
great scarcity of money few years
ago, when every one was boarding
gold, Oh account of the fear of free
silver. 1t made money hard 30 get
in all parts of the country. Send
ing money out OF the country for
goods which can be bought at
home has the same result, except
that it makes plenty of money
where the big mail-ord3r houses are
located. 1t makes it scarce at home
all the time and there is less to pay
debts with and to buy with. The
story of what your dollar did, fol
lowing such an argument, and then
a paragraph showing now little help
that dollar would have been to the
community if spent with a mail
order house in the first place, would
make circular which would cause
thought. It is an argument which
should be bought to the attention
of every person in every community.
Try it.

About The Subsidy.

1t is said that President Roose-
welt will send to congress special
message advocating the passage of
a ship subsidy measure because the
recommendation in his annual mes
sage was misunderstood. In that
message he said that if it were
found inexpedient to pass the senate
bill a measure should be passed to
provide for a few lines to South
America.
He did not mean to minimize the
Importance of other features of the
bill, it is said, and now proposes to

Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and low
every year, Ten years ago when a
few republicans slipped into congress
from these same districts, the river
was equally neglected by them, ex-
cept where some special interest
would be benefited by river work.
1t is the settled policy Of the repub-
tican party to neglect the Missouri
river. Under republican supremacy
the river has been abandoned as not
fit for navigation, and If the republi'
cans have a majority IN the Sixtieth
Congress the same policy will be con-
tlnued. Speaker Cannon will see to
that. In a republican house. Missouri
representatives will be powerless to
refute this slaDder on the stream II or
to do anything whatever for 1t.
