Menace to the

Copyrighted, 1906. by Alfred G. Clarx.)
AS the years go by We are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question of trading at home.
During the past decade the habit of
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions 25 years ago were
satisfactory. At that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were 'monarchs of
all they surveyed" so to speak, in the
lines represented, and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
so much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants,
but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops, generally, and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height of

tend to the family my sincere regrets
and sympathy. Also give them this

very poor and in want"
Accordingly the valet obeyed. When
he returned his master met him al
the door.
We'll, Reynolds"
THE father wished me to say, sir
that he hoped you wouldn't take the
affair too much to heart. AS for the
family, they all feel very grateful &c
you sir. and couldn't bring themselves
to accept your very kind offer"
"a most estimable family! Yet
wonder why they didn't accept the
money!"
THE father said such matters
should be arranged through his law

First TO CROSS PACIFIC.
elde-Whoei Steamer Aroused Much
Interest in Japan.

Il saw the first steamship flying the
American flag that ever crossed the
Pacific ocean enter the harbor Of
H~ongkorg," said Frederick II. Ster-
ling, a merchant of Hongkong.
That vessel was the Colorado, and
II landed In Hongkong in 1869. 1t was
the first day Of January. and there was
q big crowd of people Of all n~ationali-
ties to see her. Being a ~side-wheeler
of the old-fashioned type, she was a
curiosity. AT the request of Isaac J.
Allen. the American consul general.
the ship gave an excursion around the
Island on which the city is situated. l
was among the 1900 on board. It
was a gala day. Whistles blew, people
shouted, and numerous small sailing
boats and tugs escorted us.
las | remember now, the vessel be-
longed to the Pacific Mail Line and
sailed from San Francisco. She made
the trip of 5000 miles in 80 days, and
when she arrived was in perfect trim
and good order. Everybody realized
that it means the beginning of the
great development of the Pacific"

a Fish Story.

"Trout protection! N~onsense!" said
a gunner of local .eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trou. to jump from the water, seize a
duck by the neck, drcg the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air, where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at it's leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories"

ton. And right here is whore the good
town proposition m to him with
great force. He knows he a send
his children to the village school at c
great deal less expense than to send
them away to college, and that in
most CASTS better results are OBJ
tanned.
If the farmer seriously desires all
these good things he must Of necessi,
ty help to build them. Let him under
stand that he Is one OF the main
spokes in the great wheel of com
merce in his vicinity and that he can
ill-afford to send abroad to purchase
even the smallest item Of merchar.
disc, though 1t may lei to him that
he Is saving q few cents by doing so,
It seems that 1t could be easily
pointed out to him that II there was
no town near him and he had to drive
20 or 30 miles to take his produce to
market and haul his groceries the
same distance home, he could easily
see that his land would greatly depre'
ciate in value and the disadvantages
he would encounter on every hand
would be very disastrous to his time
and he would gladly spend his money
at home to divert this calamity.
One of the most potent levers with
which to control trade in country To-
calities is the liberal use Of printers
ink, coupled with intelligence in ad.
vertising the wares of the merchant.
The catalogue houses employ the best
talent obtainable to write their adver.
tisements and spend large sums OF
money in this way. Besides advertis.
ing judiciously they advertise on a
large scale and consequently get the
business. The old saying that "You
must fight the devil with fire" will ap.
ply in this case. The home merchant
must advertise. He must do more than
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1907-05-10

their ambition, hence the contentment
that prevailed.
But in after years, when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con.
tent with conditions of trade, devised
plans by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being a cheap way of
putting the merits of their goods be-
fore the people, this plan appealed to
them and it was adopted. At first they
operated on a small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making it pay, he added to his adver-
Using fund. And SO it has continued
until to-day millions Of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
. question uppermost in the minds OF
country merchants for several years
past; some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home. In the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
own their own farms but that would
be interested in building up his own
locality. He realizes the fact that IL
his farm Is to be valuable 1t must be
farmed in the most scientific manner
and all buildings, fences, etc., must be
Kept up in the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be To-
Gated not too far from some good
town, for we all know that farm land
brings e much better price when near
to some good town or village. 1t is
not hard to get the farmer to realize
this, for II he ever sold any farm land
or tried to sell any, he knows this to
be a fact. Well, then, after he has
realized this fact, the thing for him
to do is to patronize his home mer.
chants and business men, so they may
be able to build and maintain a good
town.
Public schools are much better In
the towns than in the country for the
reason that where the population IL
most deLae. there is taxable
property To the C unit OF territory
covered. hence there is more money
collected for school purposes, and al
abcesult more and better teachers are
employed. All this As of the highest
Importance to the farmer, as mosi
