selves in this connection. With the
rapid growth of the mail order bust
are being established These large
firms are daily reaching out for new
sections of trade. What will be the
result along this line? With the
growth of the catalogue house comes
the death of the rural mercantile
trade Let them once destroy the
country merchant and the markets
of the world will be in the hands of a
few wealthy capitalists. Their branch
houses will appear In all the country
towns and the farmer will no longer
be Independent. His friend, the coun-
try dealer, who through competition
was forced to pay the value of the
butter, eggs, ETC., will be a thing of
the past, and in his place will appear
the fat. gloating face of the capitalist,
in whose benumbed conscience there
is no thought of pity, whose breast
contains instead of heart a great
lump of cold stony gold, whose one
ambition is to build up a greater for
tune than the world has ever seen,
and who cares naught for the tears or
trials, woes or weeping of his victims
SO long as he can squeeze little more
of the coveted glittering treasure from
him.
Again, the dollar spent with the
local dealer stays In the community
where it blesses the spender over and
over again. The merchant pays 1t to
the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till,
the baker pays it to the miller for
-four, and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, SO the dollar once
more jingles merrily in the farmers
trousers pocket. But spend it with
the mail order house and 1t is gone
never to return. 1t goes to build up
the great commercial interests of New
York or Chicago. Does it pay the
farmer to send his money to help
beautify and build up these great
cities? Has he not more interest in
beautifying and building up his own
section of the country? If not, he
should. If a place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money in, it is good enough for him to
spend his money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses, streets,
bridges, ETC.? Does the mail order
house help? Will they give a dollar
to educate the farmers children, or
donate anything to support the farm
er's widow or orphans? Do they help
to pay the taxes, or add anything to

AS on the western prairieS In
pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,
kindled to prepare his frugal meal or
to warm him from the biting wind,
famed into renewed vigor, spread,
first on the tiny blade of grass to
neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the
broad plains were one vast sea of
seathing flame destroying all before
it, SO the mail order business, started
in the eastern cities ON a small scale,
famed by the breeze of judicious adj
vertising, has spread until it now COW
ers the length and breadth of our land
and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note of
warning has been sounded, the light
is visible in the sky, and yet, appar-
emily oblivious to it all. the ones
whose safety is being endangered,
heed not the alarm nor the signal of
disaster. The country merchant and
the farmer, whose combined efforts
can stem the tide of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
unconscious of the approaching devas-
tation, that, like a great sea of con-
suming fame, is threatening to engulf
them.
The country merchant aud tie farm
er-the simple, honest jewellers IN the
rural districts, are the victims this
gigantic peril is reaching out for to
fill its rapacious NAV. Each year its
grasp becomes firmer, its power
greater. Only a few short years ago
the catalogue house was 8 thing I'M
heard of, to-day it stands as one of
Americas greatest institutions. And
with great fortune comes great pow
er, so now the mail order business
may well be classed among the powers
of the nation. Its efforts are already
being felt at the national capital

where our laws are made, and unless
a check is administered the passage
of the parcels post bill will mark one
of it's greatest triumphs.
But let US look at a few of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home dealer. In the
first place their interests are CEN
tered in each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means a prosper
GUS year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, in the
country dealer, a staunch and loyal
friend and a defender of his rights.
They pay taxes together, live side by
side. their children play and go to
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes, to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-
tions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
often. The first order he may, but
that is only a bait. The business is
not founded on principles, it is not
builded ON honorable methods, its
mighty walls are erected on graft
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
those of a much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the
order or have It ready when the
goods arrive with the big c. o. D.
mark on the package. Your crop fail
ure, or shortage OF money doesn't in
terest the mail order house, your
credit with them is good only so long
as your pocket book is filled. Your
order is made out and you pay for
goods you never saw. put up and Sc
Iected by men you do not know. If
these goods do not prove to be worth
the money, if the shoes do not wear
well, or the suit is shoddy goods. will
the mail order firm make them good2
Not often. Yet the local dealer will
do this. He Knows his honesty is his
best drawing card So much for the
advantage of dealing vita honest men
and not with graftcrs.

bring comfort or necessary improve
ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea-
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests are
your interests, whose hand is always
ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the fiashy catalogue of the mail
order house to help kindle the kitchen
fire, and keep your money at home
where it will benefit you and your
neighbors over and over again. The
farmers dollar, earned by honest toll,
should not be added to the blood
money of these great mail order cor
porations- The farmer must join the
local merchant and the country editor
in battling this great peril that is
creeping, creeping onward with great
rapidity, and unless these forces are
combined and their efforts prove in
creasing, the day is not far distant
when the chance will be gone forever
the power will be too great to con-
quer-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and f1neness OF the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

Snakes Reared for Their skins.

The idea that snakes are useless
creatures and should be exterminated
wherever found, will have to pass
away, says the Shoe Trade Journal,
as in Australia they are now being
Systematically reared for the sake of
their skins, which have a considera-
bic commercial value in London,
Paris and New York. Snakeskin is
the fashionable material for slippers,
belts, bags, purses. jewel boxes, card
cases, dressing-table accessories, ETC.
Rabbit trappers supplement their
means considerably by catching young
snakes and extracting their poinson-
Gus fangs. The blacks are also ex-
pert snake catchers- To them the
snake is an agreeable article of diet.
