Local Merchants Not Hit.

A good one on the big mail order
house of Sears, Roebuck e. Co., is
their announcement that on ac-
count of the passage of the pure
S0oo law they are compelled to dis
Continue their grocery department.
What would the farmer think of
the local merchant who had to
make such "a confession? Isn't it
"a frank admission that the cheap
groceries handled were SO adulter-
ated that the law proclaimed that
they were unfit for human con-
sumption? And how about their
other goods? If law was passed
against..other kinds of snide merch-
andise and a penalty made for mis-
representation and imitation of
honest goods of all kinds, there is
little doubt that it would put the
mail order houses out of business
These concerns are under enor-
nous expense and cannot under
sell the local dealer unless they
handle cheap, shoddy goods. But
still some people can't see 1t that
way, and persist in the mail order
habit. Creole Candle.

D Only Work Will Win.

Work. one of the homliest of
subjects. has nevertheless been the
inspiration for many deliverancies
from speakers and writer's. Elo-
quent tributes have been paid to
the dignity of work, while columns
have been written about the re-
markabi,. accomplishments of those
who have accepted the gospel of
work and devoted themselves to
the performance of its tasks. One
of the most pertinent of recent
contributions on this subject ap-
pears in the Des Moines Capital
the writer expressing his views in
the following words:
Young man, they may tell you
about gold mines and stock specu-
lations but there is nothing that
beats work-plain, old-fashioned
work. You hear about the men
who grow rich by speculation or
by means patent rights, but you
never hear of those who fail in
those enterprises. Rarely does a
Aan win by luck or accident.
- thousands of young men think it
not worth while to try to get a
start by saving little money ev-
cry month, hence they fritter away
ten or fifteen years expecting some
thing to turn up, mysteriously,
to benefit their condition. Then
they discover that nothing turns
up. Then they begin to say,
whats the use?n and from the
inquiry, whats the use," it is
easy to drift into spirit of don't
care From don't care" the
movement downward is rapid
History does not record failure
upon the part of any young man
who admits to himself at the be-
ginning of life's battle that moth
ing can beat working and saving.
Every fortune began in that way.
The time to save is when times
are good and the country pros
porous. The time is now.

Hustling Invariably Pays.

An aggressive business policy

ways to best build up city. A

A Garden ParasOl.

A good substitute for missing
shade trees is made as follows:
plant a stout post, nine feet high,
where you want the shade, setting
the post in two feet of earth; then
nail firmly to the top of it. at right
angles, two scven-foot strips of
two by-two-inch stuff. The next
thing to do is to get two old tires
from cart or wagon wheels, have
the blacksmith WELD them into a
big ring, and fasten the ring tight
ly to the end of the crosspieces
Set three-year-old grape vine
right against the post, coax it to
rapid growth and the thing is
done. When the vine ends lap
over the rim. let them hang down
all around it.-From the May De-
lineator.

Refrain From Talking Idly

Women are their own worst enc
mics. From their own lips are
furnished the weapons which 9TH
ers use to injure them. They tell
their mistakes and follies, things
which ought to be buried as far
down as possible after the lessons
they teach have been absorbed.
A woman rarely secures a bargain
without letting the world into the
secret and so destroys the effect of
her possessions. Only the few
have any respect for markdowns
by which money is saved to others.

To Fill a Long Felt Want.
