Alleged "clubs" That Operate TO the
Loss Of Their Members.


Buying Of goods from a distance has
charm for some people that in many
cases proves expensive. Fields are
green far away" and 1t is too often
that fads are responsible for many
things that work against the interests
Of the individual Opposition should
be given to every plan and scheme
that works toward the impoverishing
the smaller towns, and which work
against their progress. It is only BY
combating the concentration Of capt.
tai in the large aaancial centers can
the rural towns be kept up to the
standard that they should have.
These small towns depend upon the
business OF the merchants for their
life. and when this business is divid-
ed. the town is made so much the
poorer and kept from advancing. Here
is where there is justification in advis-
ing against the patronage Of so-called
clubs. which agree to send premi-
ums TO the getter.up Of orders for their
wares. The secret Of the club bust
ness lies in the selling Of large lots
Of goods to individual purchasers and
giving a premium, representing the
lot as valued at twice the amount paid
for it. The truth is. should the pur

Graft is not a recent innovation.
History Of remote periods tell Of it.
though perhaps the word that desig.
mates it now may belong to the newly
created words, and may be credited
to the category OF slang. in the times
Of Moses and Solomon there were
grafters, and the Egyptians and later
the Greeks had their priests and their
oracles, common gratis Of the times.
History Is replete from beginning 20
the present with tales Of graft and
grafters. Without graft to add It's
zest, the work Of the fietionists and
the historian would be prosy reading.
Graft lends its charm to aThe Epl-
curean, 3Rasslas. and the works Of
historians from Piiny down to the
present would be woefully dead with
out the numerous recitals Of the do
ings Of quacks. charlatans and graft

has not laughed over the other opera
