HOME TRADING.

Governor Folk of Missouri hit the
nail squarely on the head when he
advised the people Of his state
through the merchants, to patti onize
their home town. The governor is
against the mail order house. He
knows the baleful ef(e IT'S of such
practices upon the home merchant.
He knows that the merchant is the
stay of the city, whatever else may
be said, and that it doesn't make
any difference how many railroads
you have in a town and how many
factories you haYe, if the people
don't patronize the home merchant
the effect upon the town is sure to
be felt.
The argument Of the governor is
that if a place is good enough for a
man to live in and to make his
money IL, it is good enough for him
to spend his money in. The argu-
ment applies to all. The people of
Lancaster ought to patronize home
industries altogether The mer-
chants who are paying their share
Of the taxes to support home in
situations are entitled to the trade
OF the people who enjoy those in
situations. Merchants as progress
sive as those in Lancaster have
proven themselves to be are entitled
to the consideration Of all, and the
man who buys his goods at home
accomplishes a double object; he
helps the merchants of his town
and he helps himself because the
town is his town.
What the governor says about
newspaper advertising also sounds
well. The home newspaper is en-
titled to the support Of the home
people, If it is deserving. The town
newspaper in these days is worthy
of that support. When merchants
advertise we'll, the people are at
tracted to the stores and money
made in the town is spent in the
home town.

There was silence. Corporal Thomp-
son felt that the otner man was staring
over his head, and was stif1y gripping
the nearest post Of the porch.

Corporal Thompson started with sur

dicating a room whose windows. now
behind blinds, looked out on the other
end of the porch. The corporal fol-
lowed the stopped figure into the dark
hall and through a door which some
one gently opened and as gently shut

tor cheeriiy guiding him forward to

visible, made way as the two adj
vanced.
'Kneel down here, and let her put
her hands on you," whispered the old
man. So Corporal Thompson knelt
beside the bed. A thin, soft hand
fiuttered about his face

Have you really come back? Thank

but, ah. SO full of joy.

THE RUSH TO THE CITIES.

In spite Of the fact that America
has such great areas of cheap and
uucultivated lands the number of
city people is rapidly nearing that
Of the rural population. It is said
that in another decade the two
classes will be found about equal
The rush to the cities is a pheno-
meu0n common to all civilized
countries at present, although most
marked in this. The Improvement
I'D machinery by which production
Of food is multipli "a at little increas-
ca cost makes it possible for a
smaller rural population to support
and build up great cities than
formerly. Some student of human
phenomena looks for a backward
swing Of the pendulum soon, VIE
rural life shall be again valued at
its old worth and the rush shall be
the other way. Unless the tendency
shall SO change dangers already
felt will soon become a positive
menace. Every great city has from
5000 to %, 600 men out Of employ
ment either from choice or because
Of flooding OF the labor market
These men and their families are a
dang rous element, for Satan still
will mischief find for the idle hands
70 40. The country is always short
Of labor and can get only made
quate relief These thousands of
unemployed would lie better off in
she country; would be productive
agents, healthy, happy people
But the allurements Of the city are
TOO much for them. The blaze of
electric lights, the Changing Of bells,
the shifting streams of life prove
too much for their weak natures.
& prominent railroad man recently
discussed this question. He had
done his best to ameliorate the con
dition Of certain of his emplo5e
and had met with repeated rebuffs.
1t is hard to help those people, )"
he said. There are so many of
chem vino will not save, who cannot
work unless they are given 4 job
and set at it, They want to live in
cities; and look at these huge apart
ment houses waving his hand to
one Of the pigeon hole habitations is
ne passed it, They are not homes;
they are more like tunnels, a return
so the cliff dwellers' civilization.
Yet IN my own experience | have
found how hard 1t is to take people
away from the cities. I wanted to
create division point between Chi
cago and Dubuque, and have. a lot
of train men live there where they
could have real homes and better
life Do you suppose they wanted
TO do 1t? No; their wives would
rather live up side street IN Chi
cagO, in three rooms, than to have
q comfortable home in a comfor
table home in a country town"
IF this rush city-ward continues it
is possible commercial depression
may follow because Of inability to
feed the cities. Added to these will
be the danger from the delinquent
idle. 1t is an indisputable moral
proposition that a man must support
himself and his depends and that if
ne cannot get work where he pre-
fers it, he should go where he can
get it. Rural life is not so exciting,
but it is more healthful and the OPP
portunities for culture in the cities
are so few to a man in moderate
circumstances that the plea Of a
desire for self advancement is weak.
The craze for excitement, the love
of fast living, is at the bottom of
the over population Of cities.

The SPIT BALL

The spit ball, which Is probably the
most deceptive ball that a matter ever
struck at, Is thrown at medium speed,
II thrown fast IL loses its effect. II
must he carefully judged. for IL II Is too
slow II will break too soon and prob
ably hit the ground before II reaches
the catcher.
To throw spit ball wet the first and
second fingers, 20 that II will slip away
instead OF rolling away. with the
latter movement the curve Is sharp,
but with the former II Is sudden and
sometimes startling.
1t will be found difficult to control
the ball, and the beginner Is apt to Eo
discouraged because Of his wild throws,
Bear In mind one thing: In ordinary
ana curve pitching the ball leaves the
thumb frat ana the fingers last; with
the spit ball this is reversed, and tha
thumb Is made to control the ball in
stead OF the fingers. The voting Of
the two fingers Is only for the purpUSo
Of allowing the ball to slip away from
them easily.
Very little rotary motion Is impart-
ed to the spit" bail. II comes up big
and slow ana the batter can almost sec
the seams. Just rs he draws back to
hit the ball seems to have received new
impetus and drops or jumps as II
struck down from behind II the bat.
Ter hits where he aimed he misses at
least foot
That used to be the case before bat
tiers realized what they were up
against, In desperation after being
fooled few times, they took to run
ming up to meet the ball, with the hope
nf hitting II before It broke" or just
as II was starting to. In this, however
the advantage Is all with the pitcher
as he may fake Il spit ball delivery
and deliver a fast ball which is past
the batter before he begins his run
ND"
This IL what has caused so many
! heavy hittCrs to become disheartoEe,
and declare that nowadays the batter
Is lucky IL he hits $50 during the sea
son. It certainly has cut down the hit,
ting 50 much in one season that al
ready change in the rules is contcm
! plated.
Unlike an ordinary curved ball, tn
pitcher can not be certain Of the sldl
