FOR GREATER ECONOMY.
Manufacturing Drifting Closer to Fields Where Raw Material Is
 Produced.

Economy in every industry is be- coming more pronounced year after year. Manufacturing centers are drift ing toward locations where the raw materials can be secured at lower cost. During the past ten years cot ton manufacturing in the south has increased more than a hundred per cent, and there has been decrease in the production of textile manufac turing centers in the New England states in proportion to the increase in consumption. A score of years ago the great flour manufacturing centers were in New York and other eastern states. To-day the west controls man. ufactures of flour and cereal foods. When mills are located in centers of wheat and corn producing sections in number sufficient to utilize the crops of local territory, it will work a bene- fit to the farmers of the land in the saving of what is now paid in freight rates or raw products to manufactur- ing centers, and the distribution cost to consumers of the land Every farm CT can help better conditions and help himself by giving his support to local manufacturing enterprises.

Millions Are Lost Annually.

Fifty millions of dollars annually is conservative estimate of the amount that the people of the United States are swindled out of through the opera tion of fraudulent investment and in- surance concerns.
 How easily people are influenced to make investments in questionable con. cerns, has been recently strongly H. lustrated through the operations of the different alleged cooperative mer- camille, home-building and investment schemes which have been declared fraudulent by the postal authorities. It is during the times of prosperity that the schemers find the richest field. People who never had the hand ling of much money, and who find in their possession a few hundreds of dollars, just have enough for the taste" of wealth so that they are easy victims for the sharpers who op- crate flake" enterprises which hold out alluring promises of great re- turns on small investments. State laws for the control of such concerns should be stringent, and severe pun ishment meted to thoso who operate them.

It Is the common belief that the poultry keeper can hasten the period of moulting of the early matched birds. measure only. It is natural that late matched birds will moult late, and early matched birds will mott early, and when moulting is influenced at all it cannot be for more than two or three weeks.
 months of age, the "ormer date being preferable, feed on 8 light ration for a week or two. If the bird is in the habit of getting all it can eat in the yards it should be confined for part of the day in the houses or lots where there is no feed. Fasting in this way will start the mott. As soon as the molting is over and the new feathers begin to start, the bird should be given a ration which includes an abundance of nitrogeneous feed. Sun- flower seed, wheat bran and prepared chick foods which are known to be rich in nitrogen should be used. Sun flower-seed is the best of those named, and if the farmer has 2 supply of it s.s. i&z.ost -iss.-na nthnr- -similaI teed.. Feed containing 8 goodly sup ply of nitrogen rapidly assists in tic production of feathers, so the bird if n full feather before winter sets in.
 It sometimes happens that birds which are matched very early in the spring do not mott as early as. they should, and for such birds the above suggestions will be found especially eneficial-Inland Farmer.

FOOL THE PEOPLE
MOTTO OF H-CUlcKu
 MEN AND FAkIRS.
HOW SCHEMES ARE WORKED
Desire to Get "Something for Noth- ing" Is Played Upon-Exercise of Common Sense Would
 End Graft.

"You can fool some of the people part of the time, but you can fool oth- CTS all the time" seems to be a motto of the get-rich-quick men and "gold brick" operators. Pages of the daily and weekly press may be filled with warnings to readers to be on the look out for swindlers, yet many who are credited with intelligence will keep right on biting at baits thrown out to them by various concerns who sell t'cats in bags
 Psychologists say that every person has a weak spot somewhere in the brain. It seems that this softness is commonly manifested in false reason ing that frequently one can get some thing for nothing. Understanding this desire on part of the majority, the fakirs bait their hooks accordingly. There are large concerns which have built up great enterprises by repre- senting to the people that with each bill of goods purchased the buyer gets something for nothing"
 Just think of graft like this that will draw $1,S00 worth of soap or ders in single month from 2 .own of 10000 people! But this is just what has been done within the past few months. Just think of wives of grocers and dry goods merchants in large cities joining soap clubs'' and paying a dollar each month to a for eign concern just to secure a pre- mium, while their husbands could supply them at half the cost all the soap and the premium too! Yet such is the drawing power of "the something for nothing" argument. if the Creator gave these women con- mon sense, they little know how to utilize it.
 Some means should be devised to tax directly or indirectly the con- cerns in foreign cities that seek to do business directly with consumers through the mails. At present they are protected by the interstate con- merce law. These concerns make thsi- money by dealing with the peo- .>ie of some community, where they pay no taxes direct or license fees.
 t1e merchants of the town are -exed upon the business they do. Is this proposition a fair one? The for eign insurance companies doing busi- ness in state must pay license fee for so doing. Why not compel the foreign mercantile concern to do the iasti a.aea.=ls = -,ahe.saasse so constructed as to provide that there be tax on the amount of busi-
 | concern in another state, unless the business be transacted by concerns which pay taxes within the state for the doing of such business.
