Will add to the taxes on lands by re-

Surely it is not to the interest of any
body, except the bloated corporations
carrying on the mail order business,
TO see the towns and villages fall into
decay. live town is not only of
value to the lands surrounding it, but
It's well stocked business houses are
Il convenience and a benefit to the
buyer. Even if money could, in the
long run, be saved by ordering every
thing from the city, the inconvenience
and uncertainty OF it would always
make such shopping unsatisfactory
Ordering from a catalogue is a leap
in the dark, except in the case of a
few articles whose color, shape and
quality are always the same.
TO the man who can soberly look
on both sides of the question and who
can put himself in the place of "the
other fellow" the query will come:
Is it best from mere whim, or even
for a certainty of saving from one to
half dozen dollars in year to turn
my back on the old, convenient ways
or doing business, and to do my part
toward running the business of my
old acquaintances and friends. and of
destroying the value of property in
the town where my friends live?

A LITTLE SERMON.
THE VACATION SEASON.

Yesterday we met friend who was
in great hurry. There was excite
ment in his eye. He was carrying
enough packages to start small store
Cant stop now, he painted. go
ing on vacation. Getting ready. Had
to buy so many things. Fine set of
poker chips. Cards, too. Fellows all
expect me to bring 'em. Got a lot of
swell new clothes. Have to hurry,
though going around to get some
drinkables." He laughed. "You know?
Taking plenty with us. Oh, Wen have
a great time. Nothing like vacationP'
and he hurried away.
1t set US thinking.
What is vacation, any way? 1t
was easy to understand this man 8 idea
of one. He was planning with crowd
OF friends for an uproarious and de-
moralizing week. He was arranging
for all-night sessions with plenty of
stimulants to keep things going. When
he went, it was with the assurance
that there would be lively time, and
he assured us there wouldn't be "a dull
minute the whole trip"
Very likely he was right. The dull
minutes would not come until after re
got bdck TO MS ONCE.
He called it "a fine trip" but it only
meant that when he came home at the
end of this week or two weeks he would
come with tired body and an exhaust
ed mind, his digestion out of order, his
eyes dull, his brain tagged, his hands a
| little trembiy, his disposition ugly, and
his entire physical and mental self in
infinitely poorer shape for work and
/ duty than when he went away.
Yet this is what he called going on
vacation.
Two things had never occurred to him
in connection with this vacation he
was planning:
1t was not fair to himself;
1t was not fair to his employer.
Ii a vacation is for any purpose, it is
for our benefit, to do us good co enable
us to work better and harder after
\ wards. We get it because our minds
need refreshing and our bodies rest.
This man and his friends were going to
be unfair to themselves because their
vacation was actually going to do them
harm, and unfair to their employer be-
cause they were deliberately defeating
the very object he had in letting them
go.
Make your vacation this year real
4 vacation.
Rest. Read. Breathe. Sleep.
Find some quiet place where you can
forget all about the electric lights and
the noisy streets and TIE late hours and
the drinks and the strains and the kill
ling pace that are making poor old
tired out world of us. Then come back
home ready for such good work as you
never did before.
Use your vacation; don't waste it. :

Go On Docks
GENERAL OVERLAPPING TO Ma
VAL VESSELS PREPARATORY
TO BIG GATHERING IN
THE PACIFIC

Washington, Sept. THE vessels
of the fourth division on the Pacific
Coast will soon be sent to the navy
yards for docking and the regular fall
overhauling, which is scheduled to
take place early in. October, 80 as to
be completed before the holidays. The
vessels of the fourth torpedo flotilla
and auxiliaries, also the vessels OF
the naval militia on special service
and out of commission, will be sent to
the navy yards at such times as they
can be spared and their presence at
the navy yards will not interfere with
the larger vessels.
The larger vessels are ordered to
dock at Puget Sound, and the others
at Mare Island. Assignments for
docking and repair are as follows:
Puget Sound Oregon, Nebraska.
Wisconsin, Charleston, Chicago, AL
bany, New Orleans, Boston, Wheeling,
Princeton, Saturn, Rowan, Goldsbor-
ough.
Mare Island-California South Da-
kota, Wyoming, Milwaukee, st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Raleigh, New Or
leans, Yorktown, Bennington, Mar
hlehead, Vicksburg, Petrol, Buffalo.
Solace, Relief, Preble, Paul Jones.
Perry, Farragut, Fox, Davis. Gram
pus, Pike, Fortune. The California
and South Dakota, however, will dock
at Puget Sound, and the New Or
leans is only temporarily assigned to
Mare Island. On completion of gen.
eral overhauling she will be assigned
to Puget Sound.
The department is lamenting tho
failure to yet mechanics for Mare
Island. Advertisements wherever
there are navy yards fail to induce
men to go to the Coast, and lack of
labor prevents work beginning on the
Prometheus and hinders the compile
