Trade is the life of the agricultural
town. Any system that diverts this
trade is injurious TO the community.
Here lies the evils of the mail order
system. BY drawing the trade from
the towns. the principal support goes.
and with its going disappears the EN-.
ployment for the people. the school
system, and the churches and all the
advantages that the town affords to
the people of the community. Not
alone this but home markets are de-
stroyed and the farmer finds the value
of his land reduced. Have the impor-
tanoo of home trading and home sup
port instilled into the minds OF the
farmers in general. and there will be
a rapid falling of of the catalogue

ADMIRAL cooHLAN RETIRES.

Admiral Coghlan was with Dewey
in the battle of Manila bay and has
a splendid naval record. He is noted
also as an after dinner speaker. He
acquired a rather dubious fame few

importance Of Good Roads.

The town that has good roads lead
ing 70 It is blessed. Surely there is
no more disagreeable thing, nor any
thing more adverse TO the business
interests of place than impossible
boggy roads. There is a little excuse
in the well settled community for poor
roads. Il may In the beginning be
somewhat expensive TO put the roads
in order, but in the end it will prove
that the saving in wear and tear on
wagons and horses will well repay all
the additional expense. And TO the
town good roads are almost vital. The
average farmer would rather drive
three or four miles farther to a town
over good roads than do his trading
when it IS necessary TO go hub deep in
mud to the nearer place.

Who Makes the Town7

The editor of the paper at Coyle,
Okla, asks in large letters, who
makes the town." To make a town
requires the work of many people. 1t
is surely not the man who earns his
wages in the town and then spends
his earnings elsewhere; not the farm
er who sells HIS produce to the home
merchant and then takes the money
TO the express or post office and sends
II to the Chicago mail order house
for the goods he needs; nor the minis
ter who is paid for preaching by the
business interests of the place. and
spends his spare time in working up
grocery clubs for an outside concern.
No, brother, these men do not make
towns.

SAFEGUARD THE HOME .
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE euL.
WARK OF THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
Two Vital Things TO Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Whore is found the greatest ad-
vancement and civilization there is
also found among the people the bigE-
est type Of fealty and love of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars Of the nations
greatness. and Ia American citizen
ship is found the bulwark Of our re-
publican government
Where the home life Is ideal there
is found genuine patriotism which is
always commemorate with the en-
lightenment and the domestic happi-
ness Of the people. How important It
10 then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home. which is the
hotbed where are produced for devel-
opmont all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation of govern
ment and the maintenance OF ma
tions greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions OF the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
mol, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from !deal homes. and
that there Is an absence OF the love
of country that should be found in the
hearts of its citizens. There Is a duty
that involves upon ALL and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come The duty Is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make II attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities OF
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen. and where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes, there is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-
deavor TO found for himself and his
progeny residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centive to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to- re-
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States. It is Important that the
home be located near good schools.
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns. The quality of citizenship of a
community can generally be gagged by
the standard of it's educational insti
tutions. 1t is important TO the home
builder that the town wherein he is To-
Gated or which he may reside near,
be a progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be it's educational facilities for the
youth. IL is essential to the greatest
good OF a community that IL be real
ized by all residing within it that the
more wealthy 1t can be made, the
greater will be its advantages both as
TO education and otherwise. BY sup
port TO home institutions the home is
made better in every way. Patriotic
citizens will make II their first aim to
be loyal TO their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home Is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
duties that good citizenship implies.

spotlight Of popularity on two con-
tinents. 1t was about 1897 that a slip
of a girl came to New York and ap-
piled to George Lederer for a position
in the Casino chorus. No one knew
her. She had no backing and no back
or. She came from Syracuse, where
she had been born probably II years
before. Her name was Petite, and
her father, Edgar c. Petite, was let
ter carrier. She was winsome and de-
mure, and after the manager had
tried her voice he put her on the
waiting list" which meant that she
could attend all the rehearsals, study
up on all the music and then, posi-
big, get a position at $12 a week in
the back row of the chorus. In a
few weeks she secured the position at
the back of the stage. After a lot
more hard work and waiting she was
promoted to the second row and then
received SIS a week.
