A DoubIe-Edoed Joke,

James Scarlet, the attorney for the
commission which is investigating the
fraud in Pennsylvania $13,000,000
state capitol, is great huntsman,
and one of his sporting companions
in his Montour county home is Charles
Thorp.
Both men keep dogs, and not long
ago Thorp walked into Scarlet's law
office to inquire:
"Jim, what do you do when another
mans dog invades a mans shop and
eats ham,"
why" said the attorney, make the
owner pay for the ham,"
well" replied Thorp, ut was your
dog; the ham will cost you $3.50"
Scarlet dug into his pocket and
drew forth the money. He paid it to
Thorp, who, laughing heartily, started
out of the office.
Hold on" called Scarlet; $50 from
you for legal advice"
And he collected the money.

TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patrcnize the MeT-
chants of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti-
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: If a merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market. thus in
creasing both the value of city ard
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant

Home Trade Hints.

A dollar spent at home stays around
home and may return to you after a
few days.
If you want to make your own town
prosperous you will spend your money
in your own town in preference to
some bigger burg long way off.
The way to start wagon out of the
mire is for all the horses, to pull to-
gether. One way to pull together is
for everybody to patronize home indus.
tries whenever possible.
Money in circulation around the
town you live in is much bett-' for
YOUR interests than the same money
in circulation IN a city hundreds Of
miles away. Your dollar is lonesome
in big city, but it has friends arounS
home and is therefore more useful.

Another mistake, it seems to me, is
made by my energetic young sister
when she thinks that her chief errand
into life is the work which she does
to keep herself alive. She sings such
energetic paeans over her success as
a doctor or china painter or sales
woman-she is naturally in her need
Of money so thankful to have work to
do and so glad that she can do 1t
that she begins to think that when
she was sent into the world, to Work
was to be her highest occupation.
1t is not true. There is not fiber
in her body nor an impulse in her
nature which does not show that the
real primary business in life is to be
home-maker, the comrade OF a man
and the mother of his children.
God in His wisdom may have denied
her that highest and best work, but
whatever else she may do she knows
in her heart that it is the highest and
the best
A southern woman" the other day

And why not?
The vocation Of the lily Of the field

Because: The best citizens in your

Because: If you give your home
merchant an opportunity to compete,

quantities you buy out of town, he will
demonstrate that, quality considered.
he will save you money.
