Conditions that allow the steady drain

Systems That Draw from Circulation
Money That Should Be Kept Home.

That city, town or community from
which the major part of the earnings
of the people are sent elsewhere is
destined to go backward and take a
place in the rear of progressive CON-
munities. 1t will never have the full
quota Of wealth that is due it, and
that it should have. 1t Is the profits,
the amounts that represent the sur.
plus above cost of production of prod
ucts, and the earnings of the laborer
above his expenses of living, and the
legitimate profits of the merchants and
others in business that makes a COM
munity wealthy. When these earnings
are diverted to foreign places their
local tax-paying and up-building pow
er is destroyed and the places re.
ceiving the money acquire a benefit.
If you desire to see the greatest
measure of prosperity in your own
town, keep every dollar you can in
circulation at home. The bank cor
~poration or individual that has its ex-
istence elsewhere and has a mortgage
on your farm or other property, en-
joys a means of making you bear a
portion of the burden of taxes of an
other section than your own. It mat
tiers not by what a your money
reaches outside your own bailiwick, it
results in the same evil. You are

WEALTH BY BILLIONS
VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS FOR
THE YEAR 1907.
WAT THE EARTH PRODUCES
Agriculturalists Have II in Their
Power to Curtati the Operation Of
Trusts and Prevent Unequal
Distribution Of Money.


Farms of the United States in 1907
will produce more wealth than all the
gold mines of the world have produc-
ed in 20 years. Conservative estimates
place the value of all farm products at
approximately $1,000, 000, 900, or about
$500, 000, 900 more than their value in
1906. The farmer is the magician, the
alchemist, that makes use of nature to
enrich the world. The farmers corn
crops alone average a billion dollars
a year, and all the other cereals an
other billion, with cotton. tobacco, hay
and flax worth another billion, and the
fruits, garden truck and animals a few
billions lore. Thus it can be seen that
the farmer, produces wealth greater
than taken from it by the miners for
its precious gems and minerals. There
is no other foundation for the wealth
and business of the world other than
the land. Men cannot eat gold; the
coal is only useful to him as a means
of utilizing what the earth grows;
there is nothing in the mineral world
that will sustain life, or anything that
is necessary unless mortals eat, drink
and yea clothes. When there is
abundance of agricultural productions,
there are prosperous times, and a fam
inc when the opposite occurs. The
whole financial fabric, the entire com.
mercial system, is dependent upon the
farmer, and his work.
One billion dollars Is an amount be-
yond the comprehension Of the aver
age man. The life of an individual is
not sufficiently long to count it cent
by cent should he work ten hours a
day, from his tenth year until death.
This is the average value Of the III
crop alone that the farmers of the
United States produce yearly.
One would believe that if only a
small portion of the vast wealth,
which the farmers produce could be
only retained in the agricultural COM
munities, there would be a class of
rich men greater than in any CONNER
cial community. Yet statistics show
that for the amount of wealth yearly
produced, the farmers are retainers of
only a small portion of it. The tend
ency is toward concentration of
wealth in great financial centers. 1t is
in these places, and by the control Of
this great wealth, that trusts are built
up, and the machinery put in opera
ton that systematically draws from
the aoripultura1 cpctjOuc tho great
wealth produced. Farmers can, If they
will, bring about a change by a SIM
pie adherence to the home trade prin-
ciple; by patronage of local business
institutions instead of the concerns in
the large cities. d. NJ. CARR.

THE STORY.

THOU art the man. The words
i rang out clear and distinct, filling
all the great audience room of the
palace. With finger pointed in the di-
rection of the startled king the proph-
ct Nathan stood. His stern face and
tense bearing betokened the towering
moral strength of the man of God
in that trying hour.
In obedience to the command of
God he had come to bring King David
face to face with his awful sins. And
Notwithstanding the possible danger
to himself as a result of his unwel-
come message, yet he delayed not but
boldly entered into the presence of
the king and told his parable about
the rich man who had taken the one
little eve lamb of his poor neighbor,
Notwithstanding the rich abundance
of focks and heIds with which he
had been blessed. And the king had
listened with rising wrath. Perhaps
the burden of guilt in his W heart
made him the less tolerant, and as
the prophet ended his story he
Numbered:
CAS- the Lord liveth, the man that
hath done this thing shall surely
die"
Then 1t was that the prophet, draw
ing himself to his full height and
pointing his finger at the king, cried.

POOR GOODS, CHEAP PREMIUMS.
How Money Is Sometimes Squandered
in PatronIxing Prize-Package
Concerns.

The economical housewife is a
blessing. She who will watch the
pennies and dimes can greatly assist
her husband in accommodating money
for use during days OF adversely.
Quite often women through their anx-
iety to assist in saving, and not having
a training along business lines, make
foolish expenditures. How often do
We find women In the country towns
and districts engaged in buying soaps,
spices, teas and coffees from some
club-order concern with a view Of get
ting cheap premiums that are offer.
ed with each lot of goods? There is
no economy in this method. Women
as well as men should remember that
there is never anything of value given
without an equitable compensation,
and when purchased on the club plan
the profits paid are generally enor-
nous. You cannot get something for
nothing. Ii you desire to purchase
$40 or $50 worth of groceries, the best
place to buy them is at some re.
sponsible grocery establishment in
your own town. You can see what
you are getting, and you know that the
goods must be good or you can re-
turn them. When you get a premium
with a lot of soaps or spices or ex.
tracts, you will find that while the
goods may appear all right, there is a
great chance of fraud that you little
look for. The bars of soap will be
OF light weight, poorly dried, made Of
cheaper materials, and would be dear
at your home store at half the price
that you are compelled to pay for
them. The spices will be half ground
bark, and the extracts synthetic, never
made from fruit f~1avors, but out of the
dlrty-looking coaltar, a by-product of
gas-manufacturing, and ever the teas
and coffees will be of the poorest kind
and doctored up to look well. Then
how about the premiums? You will
find that they, too, are Of the cheapest
class, and could be purchased at the
local store for half what they are
represented to be worth. Women are
only doing their duty in trying to as
sist their husbands, but too often they
waste money by patronizing premium
and club concerns that operate from
distant cities In small towns and ru-
raj communities.

SIN, however great, is as moth
ing when the foreiving grace Of
God Is taken into account.
"Where sin abounds, grace
doth much more abound"
1t Is an awful thing to be a
great sinner, but there Is a more
awful thing, and that is for the
sinner to know no repentance.
David sinned, Oh, so grievous-
ly, committing almost every sin
In the decaIogue, but he repent
ed most s%IoriousIy, and herein
is to be found the bright side
Of this dark picture.
Out Of the depths into which
). his sin had cast him David
looked up into the face Of a
forsiving God and found help.
And notice how his sense Of
guilt shuts out every one but
God.
Against thee, thee only, have
! sinned."
This was not literally true,
neither did David mean it so.
But what he did mean was that
sin when committed is first Of
all and above all committed
against God.
Such consciousness of the re-
iation of the soul to God is the
evidence of true repentance. To
realize that first of all the sin
has been committed against God
and that it is there that the
soul must first come for forgive
ness and cleansing prepares and
fits the soul for the further
steps Of true repentance, which
are open confession, as CON-
plete restoration as Is possible
to those wronged, and reeoncii-
iation with man as we'll az God.
True repentance also means a
turning from sin, or as the little
girl put it: Feeling bad enough
to quit.
Yes, David's sin was great,
but his repentance was great,
also. And herein, an per-
suaded, Vas n Of the ele-
ments of his character which
made him a man "after Gods
own heart" 1t was because of
his desperate need that he
could in faith claim so much Of
God. As Christ said, in rebuke
to the self-righteous Pharisee
when the sinful woman came
weeping, washing his feet with
her tears and wiping them with
the hairs Of her head: "Her
sins which are many, are for.
/, given; for she loved much; but
to whom little is forgiven, the
, same Ioveth little.
If man is a great sinner, God
. has provided a greater Saviour,
whose "blood cIeanseth from
/, ALL SIM"
The sum Of human guilt is
never equal to the sum of the
!. Divine mercy.
Paul, the apostle, saw himself
the chiefest of sinners, but at
!. the same time he saw that
|. Christ was liable to save unto
the uttermost."
. This, then, is eve the bright
; side of the picture of human
|. guilt: Sin vanishing before the
; cleansing power of the blood of
|. Christ.

Those who are opposed to the evils
Of capital concentration, the building
up of trusts that work against the in
terests of the masses, should consider
the fact that any and every system
of business that depletes a section of
the country of the wealth it produces
strengthens the system of business
and financial concentration. One of
the most baneful systems that at the
present is working against the inter
ests of the smaller cities and towns,
and is the greatest medium of drain
ing wealth from agricultural communi-
ties, is the mailorder plan of doing
business. From some rural towns
from 40 to so per cent. of the trade
goes to foreign concerns. If this trade
we're confined to the home town, it's
business would be doubled, employ
ment given to twice as many people;
the profits accruing from mercantile
business would seek local investment,
and within a few years the population
of the town would be more than dou-
bled, and all living within the district
would be benefited.

While the farmer may receive q

Is to the interest of the farmer as well

its columns freely to tell of the latest

The farmer wants to buy, and the
merchants want to sell, and the farm
