. Don't Want Lemons.

II seems to be solemn fact that a

formerly no more hesitation about
asking for a lemon than for any other
kind Of fruit people acquainted with

Need a Good Bank.

A good bank is a valuable asset for
the small town. During these DAYS
OF prosperity people of almost every
community have surplus amount Of
money to deposit in the bank, or to
invest in way that will bring a
fair margin of interest. Lately a sys-
tenn mas grown up of doing banking
business by mail. Alleged savings
banks and investment companies in
large cities advertise widely offering
SIX to seven per cent. interest on de-
posts. Many who have little knowI-
edge of financial affairs make demos
it's in these banks. The Lincoln bank
at Oak Park, ILL.,, was one of these in.
stitutions that made great offers to
the people of agricultural districts in
order to secure deposits. More than
$1,O00,000 were deposited by farmers
and others in this concern. Within a
year it was declared unsound by the
United States authorities, the pro-
moter of it placed under arrest and
charged with fraud. The poor de.
luded depositors are not likely to re-
ceive five per cent. of their deposits.
Remember that when you send your
money from your local community it
ceases to be any factor in developing
home resources or in adding to the
wealth Of the place. It is better al.
ways to patronize home banks than
banks far away.

widening THE FIELD
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
Some Causes for Complaint Which
Can Be obliterated by the
United Efforts of the
People.

How often do we hear it said that
the young man has not the opportun,
lty that the young man Of a score of
years ago had. How great is the com.
plant OF trusts and combinations
which control industries to the detri-
ment of the smaller ones in business,
and how often is reference made to
business concentrat On in the large
cities at the cost of the smaller
towns.
Innovations in business methods
have been many. 1t may be said that
this Is an era of economical methods !;
that evolution is going on continually
broadening the field for individual
effort and making possible the opera,
ton of mammoth enterprises. There
can be no doubt as to the detrimental
effects upon small towns of this bust
ness concentration in the larger cities
Pessimists deplore the lack of oppor-
tunisy for the young men CT to-day.
At the same time the large corpora
tons put forth the cry that there is a
scarcity of the right kind of material
for important places of trust. How.
ever this may be, there is one thing
evident, and that is, small towns being
kept from advancing narrows the
field for the young men who would
otherwise enjoy an opportunity to en-
gage in business.
Travelling to the large city for en-
ployment, the youth, perhaps, seeks a
clerkship at moderate wages. There
are thousands of others that he must
compete with in the race for success.
His field is narrowed. It is not often
that he has fair competition, and ia
voritism he finds is one of the obstruc-
tons in his way. One of the cures
for this condition is to devise means
Of charging the scope and Importance
of the so-called country towns.
There is no economical reason why
the large city should have the bust
ness that rightfully belongs to the
small town. There is no saving in
buying goods at distant point even
though small percentage may be
saved directly. Whenever a resident
of community sends his money to
some other community for the neces-
sites that he requires, he robs his
own home town of a certain amount
Of business. Employment is given to
the people of the large city instead of
the people of the local community.
It has been estimated that more
than so per cent. of the trade goes
from some communities to larger
cities If this trade were given to the
home town, it would Immediately dou.
bic it's business Importance and give a
corresponding increase in employment
for the people. This means that the
population of the town would be in
creased and the opportunity for en-
gaging in business would be greater.
Not only this, but it is an established
principle that values of farm lands to
a great extent are dependent upon the
activity of the town near which the
farms may be located. Thus it is
plain that if the sons of farmers
would have greater opportunities open
to them for engaging in business, it
can be increased by closely adhering
to the home trade and home protec-
ton principle, which widens the local
field for individual effort in a business

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

Strangers to town form their
opinions as to it's people by the ap-
pearance OF the business places and
the residences. In town where the
buildings are dingy. and dirty, and the
show windows of the stores are care
lessly arranged, it is evidence that
there is lack of enterprise. 1t pays
the business men of town to be care
full as to the exterior appearances of
their places of business.
Small towns usually contain but few
expensive residences. It matters little
how inexpensively built residences are
IL the buildings are kept we'll painted
and the yards neat and clean. This
Is evidence of the good taste Of the
people.
In many towns in country districts
there are hitching posts placed here
and there before the stores. It is gen.
orally the case that where the hitch
ing post is found, unless the street is
well paved, there is mud hole.
Every town that is incorporated
should have regulations as to the
placing of hitching posts indiscrfmin-
ately in the streets. There should be
set aside some side street that is con-
venient to the business portion of the
town, where the farmers and others
can hitch their teams instead of in
front of the stores.
Good sidewalks give the strangers
to town a favorable impression of
the place, and also they are an advan-
tage in many ways and may prove a
matter of economy through the pre-
vention of accidents that might give
cause for damage against the town
corporation.
Nearly every small town has it's
public park. 1t is often noticed that
these parks are little cared for. They
are public pastures and serve no good
purpose as places where the people
Of the town can meet evenings for
social intercourse. People of towns
should take pride in keeping the pub
lie parks in good condition. They can
be made beauty spots with but little
effort and expense.
