TRADE AT HOME
Why Farmer, Should GiUe
His Support to the
Local Merchant.
PRESERVES HIS OWN MARKET
Depreciation of Village Property
Must Inevitably Mean Deprecia-
ton of Agricultural Property
and Encouragement of
Monopoly.

Copyright, 1906. by Alfred c. Clarke
The most serious problem that con.
fronts the rural towns and villages
of this country is the competition Of.
fered local enterprises by the cata-
logue houses of the large cities. 1t is
a problem for which a solution must
be found if the prosperity and sta
bility of the nation is to stand
And the solution of this great prob
lem lies in the ham, of the people OF
the towns and villages and the farms,
especially the farms.
The people of the rural communities
have everything to lose and nothing
to gain by sending their money to
the catalogue houses. by passing by
their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
absolutely no interest in their com
munities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes in your town; the local mer
chant does They do not build side
walks in your town; the local mer
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building of roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled Il
market; the local merchant does

YANKEE IN DIAMOND FIELDS.
Commissions to Study Country
Which Produces Such Men.

Mr.. Alfred Mosely is an Englishman
who admires American ways SO much
that he sends commissions here to
| study us.
Mr.. Mosely does not admire US
without a reason. 1t is not a very
specific reason. Its name is Mr.. Gard
ner T. Williams, and it is by way OF
being an American mining engineer.
Mr.. Williams directs the diamond out
put of the world.
Mr.. Mosely made his fortune in
South Africa. He watched Cecil
Rhodes dream of empire develop and
knew the men who made it real. The
one who took his imagination was
Gardner Williams.
Here was a man who had left
Michigan at the age of Is to go with
a pioneering father to California in
the flush days of the early mining
camps, had had a taste of California
mining, had gone when still young
man to explore in South Africa and
had become a general manager of the
great monopoly of the diamond
mines.
A fighter of financial battles and 6
manager of men, writer, scientist
and one of the worlds greatest en-
gineers, he so stamped his PERSONAL
ty on the people among whom hi
lived that he was feted and cheeret
by all South Africa when he retired
last spring and came back to thu
United States to build home for hi
leisure years in the land of his birth

PEBBLES CouIee Canal.

New Iberia, La: A move has been
made that will probably give this sec

systems in the state. With one large
navigation and drainage canal to the
Gulf rapidly nearing completion, 1t
has been practically decided to also
bring the PEBBLES Coulee canal up tc
the city limits for drainage purposes.
At a recent meeting of the Drainage
Board called to estimate the probable
cost OF the work or deviation from
original plans, it was found that same
could be done for about $500. The
The Drainage Board contributes $500
and Mr.. Godchaux, owner of the Pee,
bles plantation, to furnish dredges to

posed extension will relieve this sec
ton of considerable surface water and
open a great deal of land to the cult
walton of the country's staple crops
thus adding thousands of dollars tC

They do not help to build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do not assist in
the support of your churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata-
logue houses do for you and the
first and greatest of these is to assist
materially in bankrupting your COM
munity. The dollars they take away
never come back to you. They Will
never help to make city of your vii
lage. They will never increase the
value of your real-estate holdings by
making local Improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer for 1t is the
farmer who is the greatest patron OF
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one, two or
three miles from his home is his mar
ket for the butter and eggs and other
nroduce of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share OF the
business of the community, maintain
a competition that affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
| products of his farm. 1t is these hall
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are in no
way due to the catalogue houses OF
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars to the city. He wants q
buggy. or a set of harness, or pair
of stockings, or any of the necessities
or luxuries of life, and to get them ne
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, READS
the we'll written description, and, pass
ing the local merchant by, the mer
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer
chant who has helped to build the
community, he sends his dollars te
the catalogue house in the city anc
takes what they choose to send him.
What is the result?
One after another the doors OF the
local stores are closed, and where a
one time there we're half a dozen mer
chants, each bidding for his share o
patronage by offering fair prices 10
that which the farmer had to sell
there Is now but one merchant whit
has a monopoly, not only OF the SCI
ing, but of the buying as well, and h
pays what he pleases for the farmer
produce. \
The farmer can continue to send III
money to the catalogue house in tn
city for his supplies, but he canno
send his produce to the same place

DENATURED kLCOHOL-A NEW
OEPOTUNlTY.
OF America

Already attempts have been made 10
concentrate the making CT denatured
alcohol in the big distilieries, by in
sisting that a bonded inspector and
guage must be constantly employed
by each plant, making denatured alco-
hol Such is not true; and even it II
were true, it is evident that co-Opera-
tive plants, centrally located, would be
more economically operated than
many small plants, which would have
to market their products in haphaI-
ard and scattering sort Of way. Those
who get in on the ground floor arc
going to reap the benefits Of this new
service of heat and power II must be
remembered, however that those who
go into the business must look no the
end as we'll as the start of the project.
The following extract from the Ameri.
can Hay, Flour and Feed Journal tells
Of a proposition now before the Ma
tional Grange that would be well for
the Farmers Union to take up:
1T is proposed by the National
Grange that the farmers of the cOun-
try should establish cooperative dis
tilleries for the sole purpose Of pro
duCing denatured alcohol This would
provide them with a remunerativs
outlet for many products which now
are wasted, and what is of still great
er importance, would furnish a cheap
and accessible source of power. Al
ready Our farmers are employing
gasoline motors to compensate for
the scarcity of labor. They are use
full for Smelling corn, saving wood,
baling hay, threshing churning.
spraying fruit trees, pumping water.
and for many other purposes. In
some places they take the place Of
horses for moving and reaping. But
the supply of gasoline has been di-
minishing, and the price consequent
ly increasing. Moreover, 1t is almost
as perilOus to have about as dynamite.

must pay high rate Of insurance.
AlchOhOl, on the other hand, vaporiZes
so much more than gasolene that it Is
not danger0ut explosive mixture In
the open air; and if it catches fire it
can be readily eXtinguished by water,
which only spreads the fire when

: consideration is it's cheapness. No
longer need we depend upon coal and

Demand for Liquor Licenses.

Lake Charles, La: The city coun-
Gil met last night for the purpose OF
receiving and passing upon the appllca-
lions for licenses to sell liquor in the
city of Lake Charles during the COM
ING year. There were in all twenty
three APPLICATIONS, two of which were
turned down.
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
thought by some that the revenues O,
the city would be decreased by the IN
crease of the city licenses from $1,000
to $3.50, according to this showing the
revenues will be increased by $2O0V
over what they were last year. while
the number of saloons is decreased
by three. In neither of the three cases
however, can the dropping off in the
number of saloons be attributed to the
raising of the license, for two of them
made application for licenses again
this year, while the other was going
out of business anyway.

In disposing of that he is absolutely
dependent upon his local merchant,
and by his patronage of the catalogue
houses he has killed competition, and
must now take whatever is offered Tor
what he has to sell.
Mr.. Farmer, are you helping to XIII
the goose that is laying your golden
egg?
Are you sending your dollars to the
catalogue houses and by so doing Kill
ing the local industries of your town!
Are you putting your merchants out
of business, and creating a monopoly
that will pay you what it pleases Tor
the products Of your farm?
If you are doing these things it Is
time for you to stop and consider the
future. You will have to look but
little way ahead to see the result, and
it will not be an attractive picture that
greets you. The prosperous COM
munity of which you are now part
will fade like the summer flowers be-
fore the winter winds, and almost as
quickly.
1t is the fact that there is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
men who maintain this local market
for you are the men who cause the
railroad trains to stop at your town.
Take them away and soon the, town
will be wiped off the map. The
churches will close for lack OF support
The schools will cease to be a pride,
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right
of birth, and your acres, that are now
valuable because they lie in close
proximity to market, will show
depreciation that will astonish you.
