trade with the home merchant. yet II
other people followed your example
and patronized mail order houses,
there would be no home merchant to
trade with. II others bought of him
only whenS they wanted things in a
hurry, and sent out Of town for the
greater part of their supplies, he
would have left for. more promising
fields long ago, or if he had stayed in
those circumstances, the sheriff would
finally have closed his doors. You
wouldn't like to live in a place with
out stores, and yet it may be that you
prefer to reside in country town
rather than in a city. Do your share,
then, toward making it possible for
the country merchant to carry on
business.
You must remember, too, that when
you send your money to some big con-
Germ in distant city, you lessen the
amount of money in circulation in
your own residence town. If you had
spent it at the home store, some Of
it at least would have been paid out
by the proprietor in the form of
wages to his employees, they in turn
would have expended it for the neces-
stiles of life, and it would have passed
from one to another of the home deal
ers. proving an important factor in
the prosperity of the community. Hav-
ing sent it to the mail order house
the probabilities are that it will never
again benefit anyone in your home
town.
You should trade with the home
merchant because he is the one from
whom you ask and receive favors

In public positions, and when Ques-
lions of local interest and Importance
are discussed, his opinion carries far
hess weight than the man who con,
tributes his share to the prosperity of
che community by spending his mon
ey where he earns it.
In addition to losing in a large de-
gree the respect of others and his
own self-respect. the man who does
nothing to build up the town in which
he lives fails to find the contentment
which is necessary to happiness Hav-
ing done nothing to make the town
better. he is unable to see the many
advantages 1T possesses, and is con-
dnually talking and thinking Of it's
deficiencies. He does not move out.
however. but stays on year after year,
discontented parasite, getting all he
can and giving as little as possible in
return. There is an unwritten law of
nature that makes it impossible for
one to really taken an interest in a
place until he has done something for
1t. and IL is only when we have done
eur share toward building up the town
N which we live that 1t becomes a
zeal home to us.
Perhaps the local dealers in country
towns do not always have in stock

are usually willing to order whatever

binary circumstances can supply Won

letter to the mail order house, stating
all these circumstances, secure for
you supply of the necessaries of
life on liberal credit terms? Most as
suredly not. An appeal to the propri-
etors for aid in your extremity would
be barren of results. 1t is the home
merchant who stands ready to extend
the credit necessary to tide you over
an emergency and for this reason, il
for no other, he should have your
loyal support in your times of pros
perity.
Perhaps you are financially indie
pendent, and have never known the
necessity of asking for credit. Even
then you are indebted to the home
merchant for many of the advantages
you enjoy. The proprietors of a mail
order house would laugh you to scorn
were you to ask them to subscribe to-

chant contributes literally to the sup

Cheats in New York.

One of the growing methods of
cheating in New York is by short
change. The system has taken firm
root in many ticket Offices and shops,
and has notably increased when
small payments are being made
through dumbwaiters, in which latter
instance the person delivering goods
says too little was sent down or that
ne returned more than the receiver
can find, and that there must have
been loss in transit.
