Wake up to The importance
of Trading at Home.

FARMERS are always anxious to have
good market for their products, and
in spite of the fact that they want to
buy from the mail order houses, they
want the home town to always be ready
to pay good prices for what they have
to sell and always be prepared to furnish
anything they want in a hurry. OF
course, many merchants fail to have the
goods particularly desired, and that
is one of the main excuses for patroniz
ing the mail order houses, but any
merchant can order the goods who will
take the trouble
ITO such people the following picture
should cause thought of the right kind:
Suppose we take thriving and pros
porous community, where there is good
farming land, and in the center OF it is
fine little city with prosperous station
airy, cigar, grocery, dry goods, furniture,
hardware, implement harness, drug
and general stores, besides hotels.
restaurants, broom factory, cigar factory,
creamery and numerous other factories
and stores and also grain buyers, fruit
and produce shippers, livestock buyers,
etc. Everyone around this community
is prosperous, for each is buying and
selling or making and selling some
thing to the others and the wants of
all are easily supplied at home.

buy of some big catalogue house located
in some other part of the country. All
those who are engaged in business in
the little city buy from the mail order
house everything not carried in their
own stores.
"How long would it take before this
little city would be entirely abandoned,
with no business, it's stored closed for
lack of patronage, the factories because
there were no retail stores to sell their
produces, the grain buyers because they
did not have any other business TO help
support them during the months when
there was little grain to handle, the pro-
ice for nothing,in connection with his

"This is exactly what would happen

every line of business. excepting
farming would be wiped out with the
exception of the mail order house and
the factories it bought from. Most of
the factories would go because there
was nc place to sell their goods when
the mail order house refused to buy.
docs the picture look like prosper
ity? Every consumer who refuses to
buy at home and sends his money out
of his community, is helping to bring
about such condition, but evidently
does not realize it. Retailers must

HOW I'd GET FARM HELP

DOVER, DEL, May 2d.--In call issued
to-day by the State Board of Agriculture,
the board says to the farmers of Della
ware:
Delaware farmers who are in need of
help should apply to the Bureau OF I'm
migration, Dover, stating what kind of
men they can use and wages that they
are willing to pay. 1t is not expected
that the average farmer will be willing to
pay the wages offered by the immigration
bureau of South Carolina where men are
practically guaranteed $40 per month
with board and washing for IL months
in the year. 1t is believed, however,
that very good men can be secured for
lower rate of wages OF course this will
not apply to mixers and butter-makers,
who are always in demand at much
higher rate. 1t is especially difficult to
get English-speaking men who are cap
able and reliable"
