or whoever II may be, that intends to
erect new building they should buy
the material for that building at
home of their neighbor. Mr.. Building
Material Man.
And let US speak a word for Mr..
Printer Man also. He is a part Of
this community: he contributes to Its
prosperity; he advertises Il, and he is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which tho community's dol
lars are to circulate. When you, Mr..
Merchant. want printing of any kind.
give the Job to the home printer.
The dollar that you spend with him
he will again spend with you, and
both will make profit on it. It is
but fair that he have this. his leg!ti-
mate portion of the home trade. He
is as much part of the community
as yourself, and as much entitled to
your support as you are entitled to
the support of the farmer. the me-
chanic. the preacher. the doctor.
The battle against the mailorder
octupus can never be a successful
one unless all interests are actively
engaged in it. It can never be sue
cessful so long as the merchant wants
1t preached but does not want to prac-
tice 1t himself. The merchant who
sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
Ing his own household supplies. sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves, of the city merchants. is not
entitled to the support Of the COM
munity. Such a merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community's
dollars Just what he condemns in
others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few. II any, such mer-
chants as this in this or other com
munities, but II there are any here 1t
Is not for their benefit that this pa
per is preaching home trade to its
readers.
We hear much of the strength Of
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength lie? To large
extent in the fact that they control
the trade in the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an interest earn
ing dollar. Let US form q little trust |
OF our own. Let all of us, merchant.
farmer, doctor. mechanic, preacher.
editor, spend our dollars at home.
keep them at home. and we have or
ganized trust OF our own that will |
bring to each of US our share OF earn
ings on the capital invested.
This Is not hard problem to figure |
out for ourselves. The farmer, let |
rs say, wants q dollars worth of |

TO MARK THE 'KERcHlEF.


Marking handkerchiefs with = sim
pie initial Is extremely confusing, es-
peciSlly when the washing II
sent to the laundress outside of tho
house. A good plan to avoid this II
to mark with both or all three initials,
or, better still, with the entire name.
This, however. Is unpleasantly con-
spicuous.
A better way IL to secure . small

stamp the center Of each handkerchief
so that the marking is never in sight
except when 1t is needed.

BEST CORSET COVER
STYLES MUST BE SELECTED TO
sUIT FIGURE.
For the Stout Woman the low-9usted
Garment 10 the Best - No
Loops or Bows for the
Shoulders.

For stout figures having small busts.
as is often the case, the rather low
busted corset should be worn, and the
bust should be thrown out as much as
possible, to balance the rest OF the
figure.
To confine too fleshy bust with the
old style corset top there are various
corset sewers, to be drawn tightly over
the chest. which give f1rmness to and
confine too-rotund outlines. One OF
these is shown in one of the cuts &C
companying this text The tie ends
may be drawn as tightly as one
pleases, but instead of being pulled
crosswise one end should be drawn up
toward the chin and the other toward
the ties, and when the cover is tight
enough the dnal tie may be given.
