Geese have been known to reach
the age of forty years and a twenty
year old goose is no uncommon
thing. Ganders should not be kept
for breeding purposes after they are
three years old. It is surprising
that more people do not keep geese
as they are easily raised and easily
kept and yield good profit.

The people like to be entertained
end they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer-
chants OF the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support OF the people and 1t is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for livelihood. when the peo-
pie send their money to concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any OF these enterprises
or take an interest in the surround
ings thereof.

sist in this way Of robbing the home
merchants OF the right to live and do
business among them.
II the people will keep their money
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air. it will take on q metropoli-
tan look. and the people will say to-
their neighbor that business is good.
and 1t will be. as long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar
kets. The least that a person can do
toward the betterment Of the COM
munity and his own interests. Is to
keep the money at home and see to 1t
that 1t is put where it is most needed
and wanted.
This should be vital question to
all concerned in the welfare of his
community and 1t should be an estab-
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can
get at home.

business must be kept up and In order
TO do this It is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronixe
him and help him keep up with the
times. or else he will soon be out OF
the struggle for existence among the
country people.
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller OF these
articles when he wants anything in
the merchants line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should Ge

purchase OF the article. II he does not
carry 1t in stock.
The home merchant advertises or
should advertise. In the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper because
II gives all the local newS that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements of the merchants are
read by them. II the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can
not AFFORD to advertise. and without
advertising n paper will soon prove
failure. Soon the home paper Is sent
to the wall for the want Of support
from the merchants: II may have
large circulation. but without the mer.
chants help II will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant Is next to
get out OF business for the want OF
support. and the town will decrease in
population. and the people will won

editor and the merchant leave town
together.
The home merchant contributes to
the support OF the church, he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up. he
contributes to the horse show. the fall
festival. and the hundred and one
things that he Is supposed to help out

The figures concerning the manu-

that they are in reality paying more
for an inferior grade of goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them a few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations in the United States,
all kinds OF schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol
lar of the country people. and they
have been so far successful, at the
great expense of the home town Of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit Of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or 15 cents year.
They build up circulation on this
low price of hundreds Of thousands:
this circulation brings to them mill
lions of dollars in advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for advertising is more than
doubled from the sales Of these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.

The above head is subject that
can well be treated as open for dis
cussion and consideration at any and
all times. 1t is also a subject that
should interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare OF the community
In which he lives and who wishes to
see 1t grow and prosper.
No person can AFFORD to do what he
knows will work an injury to the com
munity In which he lives. In Justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port to the home Industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
of the town In which he goes to do his
trading.
In considering this question 1t
should be borne in mind that the coun-
try people. like all other American
citizens. are always on the lookout for
a place to invest their money that
will bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure: in this they
are right and are justified In so doing.

right in sending them their money.
They are led to believe that what they
get from the catalogue house is the

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still In its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere. who has .
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West. Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and I did not rest as I should
have. but kept up about my many
