Objected to Outside Supplies.

Master plumbers in Newburgh, N.
J., have declared war against the mail
order business as applied to their line,
and have refused to handle stock
bought of mail order concerns. The
decision was arrived at in the case of
a man who is building ON Washing
ton Heights. The plumbers said this
man sought fer bids for doing the
plumbing and vas not satisfied with
the prices. He then asked how much
it would cost to do the work if he
would furnish the materials. The
plumbers refused to consider this at
all.
They said they are content with a
reasonable profit on their supplies,
but if these are not purchased from
them they may as well go out of bust
ness for all the profit they will
mahe on the wages of the men alone.
The man had sent to Chicago for
his materials and they had arrived
here, but one after. another of the
plumbers refused to touch them. One
reason assigned was that the western
connections were such the local men
were not familiar with the work
The man WIS in quite a quandary
for a time, because to have sent to
Chicago to bring man here, or in
fact to bring anyone here from out Of
town would mean an expense of at
least $25, this being the sum demand
ed for license to do plumbing work
in Newburgh. Under state law,
master plumbers must have a license.

attern No. 5905.-The subject of
sleeves is an interesting topic at this
time of the year. The changes IN
fashion always seem to concentrate
on sleeves, and it is this part of the
gown that has to be altered imme-
diately when intended to be worn
second season. A pretty or an ugly
sleeve has the power to make or mar
the most attractive gown, so due at
tention must be paid to this part OF
the bodice. The illustration shows
four of the prettiest and most up-to-
date of the season, and we'll suited to
making over. The set included four
models that may be used respective
ly on a smart blouse, dressy after
noon frOck or an evening gown. The
graceful Mandarin sleeve is made
with trimming band attached and may
be suitably developed in lace or any
of the rich trimming materials now
in vogue. For the medium size one
and three-quarter yards of 27inch
material will be required for the long
sleeve. The sleeve cap will require
three-quarter yards, the short sleeve
one yard and the Mandarin sleeve one
yard. Sizes corresponding to 81, "a,
SO, SO, 40 and AZ inches bust measure.
This pattern will be sent to you on
receipt of 10 cents. Address all orders
to the Pattern Department of thispaper.

Deal in shoddY Clothing.

Many of the old-timers these days
wonder why the clothing they used
to wear years ago was so much better
than is now securable unless extreme
iy high prices be paid. A little thought
makes an explanation easy. This is
an age of advancement in every way,
and frauds increase along with i'm
proved machinery, scientific methods,
etc. In fact the whole system of i'm
provelnent seems to involve means Of
lessening cost of production.
Thirty years ago such thing as
shoddy was not known. When one
purchased a suit of clothes, it was
all WOOL" but at present it is an ex-
ceptional thing in cheaper garments
to find this the case. The reports of
the government show that each year
hundreds of tons of shoddy, or woolen
goods ground up, are imported into
the United States, and heavy duty
paid on the same. This shoddy is
manufactured into cloth by various
processes. 1t is most often woven
around cotton thread, and some
times is forced into the texture after
the cloth is woven. In samples sent
out by the cheap clothing concerns,
this shoddy can be picked out. Often
it is so loosely woven that if a bit of
the cloth be crumbled between the
fingers, it will fall out in the form of
dust Great quantities of this
cloth are utilized by the makers of
cheap clothing who do business
through the mails direct with the
weaSers. A suit of this kind can be
purchased from eight to $20-and
dear at that. The goods generally
look well, but lose shape, and in a few
weeks show all their defects. Seldom
are such goods sold by regular cloth
ing merchants, who have a reputation
to maintain, and If they are, they are
sold without Misrepresentation.

Sales to Mail Order Houses.

Proprietors who sell mail order
houses directly should, by every law
full means, be induced to discontinue
marketing their goods through these
avenues. If desired results can be &C.
complished in no other way, the pro-
prietors should be given the alterna-
tive of choosing between the retail
druggists, the logical distributors of
their goods, and the demoralizers
named. 1t is the opinion of your COM
mittee that druggists would receive
far better treatment from all the pro-
prietors if aggressive efforts were
made by each druggist individually
to discourage the sale of products that
are overpriced, those that are not
protected in any way against price de-
moralization, and those that are sup
piled by proprietors to mail order
houses with full knowledge that they
are to be sold to the consumer at
wholesale prices.
AS for the denials that are promptly
forthcoming whenever this subject is
broached to the proprietors that they
are supplying mail order houses, the
free use of electrotypes illustrating
certain lines of goods) as are con-
stantly appearing in the catalogues Of
these houses, electrotypes that are
identical with those the proprietors
themselves are constantly using, GER
tainly demands explanation-Detroit

ALL ARE INJURED
BY SENDING MONEY TO ENRICH
MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
VALUE OF FARM LAND HURT
Prosperity of Town and Prosperity
of Country Surrounding 1t Are
ldenticaI-Local Merchant Is
Friend of Farmer.

A writer in the Fullerton (Neb)
News-Journal gives some pointed rea-
sons why the farming community sur
rounding every town should get be-
hind the town and push its business
interests, urging consideration of what
that would mean compared to patron
izing mail order houses. If the town
grows, land values grow all around
it. If business men are compelled to
reduce their stocks or go to other
fields in order to get business, it is
not the town only but the farming
community that suffers. The question
is asked, what personal interest is 1t
to any one in that country to enrich
the mail order houses? The money
spent away from home is taken from
the prosperity Of the town, and just
as directly from the prosperity OF the
country surrounding it. The writer
declares that it is as much to the in
terest of every man who owns farm
in Nance county to keep Fullerton
flourishing as it is for the people in
side the city to keep it tiourishing.
The continued growth of good town
always gives added value to all farm
lands adjoining. The local merchant
in town is the friend and neighbor
of the farmer The mail order house
is nothing of the kind, and it cares
nothing for the individual interests of
the farmer except to get his money
The local merchant, besides bearing
his share of taxes, is always assisting
the churches and charities of the COM
munity. No such help comes from
mail order houses. The larger busi-
ness that is given to the home mer-
chant allows him to carry the larger
stock and to sell at a smallC mar
gin. To sacrifice your home town
is to depreciate local real estate val
ues and retard the growth of values
of both town and farm property. The
town that seems prosperous and looks
prosperous invites investment not only
in the town, but in the locality, so that
a stranger, looking for location, be-
comes interested and purchaser,
while he would ordinarily leave the
dead town and it's surrounding terri
tory out of consideration.
