 We hear much of the strength of trusts and combinations. In what does their strength lie?

The community that will pull tc- gether, that will work as one man for the general interests, will find an abundance of prosperity.
 And working together means the spending of the dollars of the com munity within the community. Nor does it mean only that the farmer, the mechanic, the doctor, the preacher, the editor must spend their money at home, but it means also that the merchant must do the same thing. It means that you, Mir. Dry Goods Mer- chant, must patronize your neighbor, MT. Furniture Dealer, when you want furniture. It means that you, MT. Furniture Dealer, must patronize your neighbor, MT.

 This is not a hard problem to figure out for ourselves. The farmer, let us say, wants a dollars worth of sugar. He buys it of the home gro- ceryman, and the groceryman makes profit. The groceryman buys dol lars worth of dry goods, and the dry goods merchant makes a profit The dry goods merchant patronizes the dentist, and the dentist makes a profit, and the dentist buys butter and produce from the farmer and the farmer makes a profit. So as the dollar goes around and around com munity each man into whose keeping it comes makes profit on the han ding of it, and the dollar grows into two But what would have happened had the farmer taken that dollar to buy his groceries of the mail-order house. or the groceryman sent it to the city for his dry goods?

REASON FOR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
 Oriuin in Wisdom.


 If you are patient enough to ferret it out you will find that there is req son for every little idiosyncrasy we have, for every queer thing We do. Take. for example, the wearing of widows caps Why do widows cover their heads with these curious little arrangements of maline, crepe and lace? It is a custom handed down to us from the Romans, who shaved their heads when they mourned the loss of dear one This idea was all right for men who did not mind appearing without a single spear of hair on their heads, but of course it was most un- attractive for women. No one, not even a Roman matrOn, liked to be seen bald-headed, so the women of the Fiber devised a little cap to hide their badness. and thus the custom has come down to us, even though heads are no longer shaved as sign of mourning.
 The reason that bells are tolled for the dead is that years ago, when toll ing was first established, the people thought that the sound of the bells frightened away evil spirits who hoy cred near the dead.
 Why do men, and women. too, wear bows on the left side of their hats? The reason is simple enough. When the head covering built upon the order of hats of today was first introduced it was ornamented with ribbon which went around the crown and hung down in two ends on the left side, reaching below the shoulder. These ends were sort of anchor, or safety line, and were put there expressly to be seized when a sudden gust of wind threaten ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons were put on the left side because, as general thing, the left hand was more apt to be free than the right. Eventu- ally these ribbons were knotted in fetching bow with flowing ends and then they were cut off quite close to the hat, so that they form very small and stiff bow knot.
 It is always the custom to throw old shoes after a bride and this queer custom came into vogue when parents were in the habit of using their slip pers to keep their girls obedient and good Now the slipper is not really intended for the bride, but for the bridegroom, who is supposed to use it for the same purpose the mother and father of ol.en times did

ment dealer must buy his groceries in the home town. It means that whether MT. Butcher. MT. Grocery man, Mir Dry Goods Merchant, MT. Furniture Dealer, MT Hardware Man, or whoever 1t may be, that intends to erect new building they should buy the material for that building at home of their neighbor, MT. Building Material Man.
 And let us speak word for MT Printer Man also. He is a part of this community; he contributes to its prosperity; he advertises it, and he is entitled to his place in the Circle through which the community's dol lars are to circulate. When you, Mir 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 a profit on it. It is but fair that he have this, his legiti- mate portion of the home trade. He
 is as much a 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 American went into the railway fonda at Valencia de Alcantara when the midnight train stopped there for refreshments on the way from Lisbon to Madrid. He was hungry, and most of all he wanted a sandwich.
 The thing that tormented him was that he did not know the Spanish word for sandwich and he was afraid that if he did not see one in the res taurant in the border town he would have to go without.

CITY CLERK BROWNING is
STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS
Overtaxes Strength While Umpiring
Baseball Game and Collapses
After Reaching Home

ALAMEDA, June 3.-City Clerk Frank
E. Browning suffered stroke of paraly-
sis at his home, 1919 Grand street, yes
terday shortly after he had returned
from umpiring a baseball game-at the
west end. His lower limbs only were
affected, and the attending physician
is of the opinion that the patient will
recover his strength and power of loco
motion with a few days treatment and
rest.
1t is thought that the excitement and
exertion consequent upon the duties
performed by Browning while off,
ciating as umpire overtaxed his physi-
cal energy and superinduced the para
lytic stroke.
Browning was recently appointed city
clerk. He was for two terms a deputy
in the Office of the county clerk, and at
the time Of accepting his present posi-
tion was connected with the local de-
partment of the Oakland gas, light and
heat company.

BERKELEY. June 3.-The strange
case of DR.. f. H. Van Tassell, the young
physician who mysteriously disap-
peared last Thursday. continues to
puzzle the police and the friends of the
missing man. No clew to Van Tassells
whereabouts has been discovered by
the searchers who are interested in his
fate. The man has left absolutely no
trace of his movements
Van Tasselrs wife said today that
she no longer entertained the hope that
he had been called out of town on a
medical case and so was unable to re-
turn Mrs. Van Tassell chung persist
emily to this theory until today and
then was forced to conclude that her
husband has either deserted herself and
their child or has been the victim of
foul play She declares that it is un-
thinkable to suppose Van Tassell could
have voluntarily given UP his home and
those he loved unless extraordinary
events Of which she was ignorant had
operated to influence him.
The missing man lived at 2S04 Grove
street with his wife and two year old
child. He was graduated from the
medical college of the state university
in 1904 and was married soon after.
His practice in Berkeley has been con-
siderable and the conditions under
which he worked seemed ideal.
Last Thursday night Van Tassell re-
ceived a telephone message and then
told his wife that he was expected to
meet a man at Ashby and San Pablo
avenues. This man, he said, was to
direct him to patient he was to serve.
DR.. Van Tassell left the house and has
not since been heard of.
DIR. Van TasseIf is 2s years old, OF
medium height. and build. with light
hair. He wore dark suit a black
derby hat and a light colored over
coat.
