Mr.. Farmer, are you helping to kill
the goose that Is laying your golden
egg? s
Are you sending your dollars to the
catalogue houses and by 50 doing KILL
ing the local industries of your town?
Are you putting your merchants out
Of business, and creating monopoly
that will pay you what # p1eases for
the products of your farm?
II you are doing these things it is
time for you to stop and consider the
future. You viii have to look but a
little way ahead to see the result, and
it WIFI not be an attractive picture that
greets you. The prosperous COM
munity of which you are now part
will fade like the summer flowers be-
fore the winter winds, and almost rs
quickly. -.
It is; the fact that there is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
men who maintain this local market

Take them away and soon, the town
will be wiped off the map. The
churches will close for lack of support.
The schools will cease to be pride,
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right
of birth, and your acres, that are now
valuable because they lie in close
proximity to a market, will show =

NEW ONE TO TITLE.
Scandinavian Cook Had Her Own
Troubles With the Eggplant.

Mrs. Lane, engaged with her daily
the beautiful purple eggplant that
shnwFd up so alluring1y~ against a hack
ground of snowy cauliflowA, so she
told the grocer to send it up. Mrs. Lane
had other things than housekeeping
on her mind that day. Besides, Tillie,
the Scandinavian cook, was rapidly be-
coming so competent that her young
mistress was growing little lax. BY
the time Mrs. Lane reached home the
eggplant had vanished from her mind.
The following morning the eggplant,
it's purple exterior polished to mirror
like luster, appeared whole and un-
cooked on the Lanes breakfast table.

the vegetable, still intact, to the kitch-

"Skall I peel heem?" asked inter

stricted that it was impossible to pro-
vide her with advance instructions.

There was company for luncheon
that noon. All went we'll until Mrs.
Lane rang for Tillie, and requested
her to bring the dessert.
A moment later Tillie reappeared,
placed glass dish containing num-
Der of odd greenish white disks on the
table and disappeared.

Lane, ''it's that eggplant again! She

They do not help to build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do not assist in
the support of your, churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata.
logue houses do for you and the
first and greatest of these is to assist
materially in bankrupting your com
munity. The dollars they take away
never come back to you. They will
never help to make city of your vii
lage. They will never increase the
value of your real-estate holdings by
making local improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer, for it is the
farmer who is the greatest patron of
the catalogue houses. 80
The town or village one, two or
three miles from his home is his mar
ket for the butter and eggs and other
produce of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share of the
business of the community, maintain
a competition that affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products of his farm. It is these half
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are in no
way due to the catalogue houses OF
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars to the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set of harness, or pair
of stockings, or any of the necessities
or luxuries of life, and to get them he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the we'll written description, and, pass
ing the local merchant by, the mer
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer
chant who has helped to build the
community, he sends his dollars te
the catalogue house in the city and
takes what they choose to send him.
What is the result? y
One after another the doors of the
local stores are closed, and where al
one time there were half dozen mer
chants, each bidding for his share Of
patronage by Offering fair prices fo1
that which the farmer had to sell
there is now but one merchant wh(
has monopoly, not only Of the sell
ing, but OF the buying as well, and hi

took place on Wednesday, July
II, 1907, at the home Of the
BRIDES mother, Mrs. Brita Nybo,
seven miles west of Hope, in the
presence of large number of re-
latives and friends. Rev. Henrik
Voldal of Cooperstown read the
ceremony.
The ceremony was followed by
a splendid dinner and the guests
passed the evening in social con-
versation and with music and
songs.
The contracting parties are
both young people who have been
reared in that neighborhood. Mr..
Peterson is a prosperous farmer
and thresher. He has a nice
farm Of a half section and is just
completing new set of buildings
and they will be at home in the
new house in a short time. Miss
Nybo is well known in the south
ern part of this county and at
Cooperstown, having taught
school in this county for several
years. Their friends look upon
their union with much satisfac-

them long and prosperous life.
They received many useful

EACH METAL HAS AN DOOR
Berlin Scientist Proves lnterestino
Fact Concerning Smells of Dit.
ferent Minerals.

BERLIN. Feb. 16.-Herr Gruhn de
tails his latest experiments in connec
ton with his discovery that metals
have odors. Through daily observa
lions he shows each metal has a char
acteristic odor. Many treatises contain
the statement that these bodies are
absolutely inodorous. as metals do not
lose anything of their weight.
The theory so far advanced in re-
gard to the origin of odors. which is
that vOlatized atoms mixed with at
mospheric air penetrate into the or.
gan OF smell, does not in fact satisfac.
tOrily account for the phenomena.
In the first experiment of Herr
Gruhn it was shown that a piece of
copper, aluminium, tin. or other metal
possesses slight odor, which many
persons are unable to detect. In the
second experiment the same pieces OF
metal were heated above lamp to
moderate temperature, when they
were found to give off strong odors
which readily were distinguishable by
anybody. From the experiments SC
far it would seem the condition, either
pure of Oxidized, of the surface of a
metal does not exercise any influence
on quality or intensity of smell.
Cooled Metal Loses Odor.
The third experiment showed that if
piece of metal be heated for about
an hour. its temperature being kept
constant, it at first gives of a strong
smell, which gradually decreases in in
tensity until it is just equivalent to
it's smell in the cold state. If. how
ever, heating be discontinued and the
metal cooled. it no more shows the

Congress Makes Proviso Against
Extravaganza
SECRETARIES ARE SHARPLY CuRBtD
HITHERTO DEFICIENCIES WERE
HIGH AS $50, ooo,ooo-THls
YEAR $15,ooo,00o

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. is.
After several attempts. congress fin
ally succeeded in enacting a law that
heads of the various department were
compelled to obey. Up to year ago
congress would appropriate such
amounts of money for the departments
as it believed wise and the secretaries
went calmly on spending the difference
between that they had asked for and
what they got and reporting these
amounts to congress as deficiencies.
This, in practice, meant legislation by
the executive branch of the govern
ment instead of the legislative, as the
constitution provided.
Two years ago, at the instance of
Chairman Tawney of the house COM
mttee on appropriations proviso was
put in the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill making it
an offense properly punishable for any
official to create deficiency or spend
dollar that was not previously au-
thorized, save in the case of an emery
ency, and what was required to APP
propriate something over $33.00O,000
on account of these executive made
deficiencies, as the new law did not
become operative until the beginning
of the fiscal year July 1, 1906. This
year the same deficiency appropriation
bill will carry only one and half
millions of dollars
The officials have been asked
how it was that they kept within the
appropriations when they had never
done so before. In each case reply was
made that they dared not go beyond
what congress allowed under the form
in which the statute was enacted. This
simple little prDvisO, therefore, has
saved the country over thirty millions
of dollars, every dollar of which rep
resents an expenditure deemed neces-
