PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take MaiLorder

tho Money Of the Commu-
nifty at Home.

When the consumer buys merchan-
disc he is interested in three things
quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store of his local mer-
chant he sees the goods that he is to
pay for displayed before him; he can
determine whether the quality is first
class, and whether the quantity is all
that is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have a fair idea as
to whether the price asked is a fair
one or not.
But how is it when he attempts to
buy of the big mail order houses Of the
cities? The only guide he has to the
quality and quantity they are offering
is what the catalogue says, and the
catalogue is prepared with the one OBJ
ject in view of selling the goods.
When the consume buys of his
local merchant and finds the goods he
has purchased we're not as represent
ed he can promptly take them back
and receive his money. When he buys
of the mail order house in the large
cities he has practically no recourse
but to take what he gets and look
pleasant at the results.

you not only have to wait for a period

Here is the wall Of a mail order VIC
tim taken from the columns of the
CfOokston, Mimi, Journal, which ex-
plains this point:
"Sir: l want to register my kick

ITO begin with, last fall I with her
who is now my wife, decided to pur-
chase some stuff to furnish our new
home. Accordingly we ordered all
our furnishings of a-catalogue house
two weeks prior to our marriage,
which we thought would be plenty of
time to get the goods around. But
by the Internal planets let me tell you
right here that all the correspondence
diplomacy, appealing and pleading has
succeeded in landing only a kitchen
table and later a mirror from Pitts
burg. My wife tells me I ought to be
thankful for these, for we no longer
have to eat our meals on a dry goods
box and l can look in the mirror and
see what fools look like.
s"Our honeymoon has been a very
dramatic experience; cooking on an
old gas plate, eating on a dry goods
box, sleeping on the floor and borrow
ing a few necessary utensils of friends
and neighbors. No more catalogue
goods for us. We hope to get enough
more goods by April / to celebrate
all fools day in a fitting manner"
"A VICTIM"
Mr.. Consumer, It Is to your advan-
tage in many ways to buy honest
goods at honest prices of your honest
local merchant. See what you are
buying. Get what you are paying for.
Keep the money of the community in
which you live at home, and build up
your town instead of tearing it down
for the benefit of the mail order
houses of the big cities.

sERMoNETTE.


This story Of othniel and
Achsah Is one Of the many
beautiful romances found in
Gods Word. True marriages,
it has been said, are made In
heaven, and certaIny the Bible
gives evidence in its record OF
the human race of Gods inter
est and share in the closest tie
which can draw two hearts and
lives together that Of mar
riage.
1t is evident from Gods
spoken word when he created
man and woman he gave them
to each other that he intended
them to be one in thought and
purpose and aim, that to so
bear life's burdens together,
and most and best of all, estab-
lish the home and raise a fam
lily about them.
But too many men and Wom-
en- Of to-day have drifted far
from the Divine thought and
plan for the welded life. The
unhappy homes and the records
of divorce courts hear their sad
witness to the havoc which sell
flshness and sin have wrought.
No longer does there prevail the
same sacredness to the mar
rIage vow. Engagements are a
thoughtless diversion, a mo-
mentary fancy to be entered
into lightly and to be cast aside
and broken ruthlessly if within
or caprice so prompt. Marriages
are hastily contracted, or with
that shaliowness of purpose
which never so much as enter
tains the faintest intention of
home making and the rearing
of a family.
And when the very thought
and purpose of God is thus ruth
Iessly and sinfully cast aside,
and man and woman enter into
relations which are not sane
titled with holy purposes and
desires what can be expected Of
the ultimate outcome?
1t has been said, and we'll
said, that the greatest danger
which this country faces to-day
is the destruction of the home
life of the nation. What can
be the stamina of the coming
generation of men and women,
If they are not to have the nur-
ture and training of the pure
home atmosphere? How the
moral standards of the coming
men and Women must be low
cred if they are reared in the
fetid atmosphere of all kinds of
social excuses and frivoIities,
and are cursed with the DEGREES
of the divorce courts. But It is
not so where God has a share
in the romance, and joins two
hearts in loving helpful union.

ises much and guarantees nothing.
The directions are always on the in
side, and you have to buy a non-re-
turnable package before you AN find
out what they are"
A. G.. Enderton, of Waiter. Okla.
writing to the Shawnee, Okla. Union
Signal, says:
- The mail order houses
are the worst offenders of the pure
food law that we have to deal with.
They are the people who use short
weight tin cans and every year the
American public Is cheated out Of
thousands of dollars by this alone.
I see where some mail
order houses offer paint at about what
good oil Is worth. Now, does anyone
think that a mail order house can buy
good paint stuff cheaper than anyone
else?
Now suppose you find out what
crude petroleum, like what is pumped
out of oil wells cost. Very cheap, Is
it not? That is the oil that is used
and what about the paint stuff? How
about Spanish whitening, with just
enough white lead to stick 1t together?
= = ="
The question of prompt delivery is
another question which mail order
house patrons should consider. 1t is
filed promptly. The reason for this
delay is that they do not carry the
goods in stock, and must purchase
them after your order is received. In
Chicago, for example, no mail order
house will sell to any person living
within the city limits, and the reason
for this is that these concerns pur-
chase a large amount of the merchan-
disc they are selling from the retail
stores of the city, the proprietors OF
which refuse to sell them the goods
except upon the condition that they
are not to sell to the people of the
city. When you order articles of con-
siderable bulk they must be ordered
of the factories after your order has
been received. and the result is that

Timely Resolution.

The occasion was the first day OF
the year, the time was the hour In the
evening when mellowing influences
seem to be more powerful with some
men than with others, both combined
to turn the thoughts Of two acquaint-
ances, as they made their way home
ward, to the new year and its pos
sibilities.

any, cheaper than your local merchant
can. F~irst-quality, standard merchan-
disc is manufactured on a very mar
row margin of profit, but the mail
order house can win and pay big divi-
dends on enormous capital if they can
sell to the people al inferior quality
and short weight quantity Of merchan-
disc at the prices they ask. Your
local merchant could do the same
thing, but you would not buy the same
goods of your local merchant that you
buy Of the mail order house at an
equal price.
Here is an item clipped from the
Parma, Mich, News which shows the
nefarious system of the mail order
concerns, and how they victimize their
patrons:
"a farmer purchased two sacks of
binding Irvine of a large Chicago cata-
logue house, and upon it's arrival this
morning a ball was unrolled and meas
ured with a ball of Plymouth Irvine
sold by local dealers, when it was
found that the Chicago article was just
306 feet short of that sold at home.
There being ten balls in a sack, it will
be seen that the farmer lost 6,120 feet,
or over a mile of Irvine on two sacks
by not buying at home. Then, too,
the mail order house product was of
an inferior quality, being full of knots,
and one farmer standing near during
the measuring process remarked that
it would never work on a binder. Now
we wish to ask You, does it pay to
trade at home? If there is anyone
who is skeptical of this story, just
call and we will show you."-Parma,
Mich, News.
Bankrupt stock, merchandise that
reliable jobbers would not handle be-
cause of its poor quality, the refuse
of the factories made over into cheap
merchandise. These are the things
the patrons of the mail order houses
are buying. Here is an extract from
an article that appeared in the Sioux
Falls, s. d., Leader which explains
this po.nt:

THE STORY.

THE first one to greet Caleb as he
returned with his men victorious
from the assault upon Hebron was his
young and beautiful daughter Achsah.
She had been the last n to bid him
God-speed as he had departed on the
expedition against the strong-walled
city of the sons of Anak, and her
words of faith and assurance that
God would give him the victory had
cheered and strengthened him in all
the fierce conflict of the days that
had followed, and while he had been
warning on the city, Achsah had kept
watch for his return, and that morn
ing had gone out along the pathway
which led from her home to the
high knoll which looked out over the
valley through which her father
would pass. 1t had been five days
now since his departure, and she felt
he must return that day, for he had
said as he waved her a last good-by
that he would be back surely in four
days, and here the fifth day was near
ly half gone.
Can it be that disaster has come
to him?" she asked herself, as she
looked out across the valley and
sought to penetrate the rugged path
way that led up into the rocky
heights where Hebron was situated.
NO." she exclaimed, half guilty, be-
cause of the doubt that had crept into
her heart. mo, that cannot be, for
did not God promise him this city as
an inheritance? He tarries that he
may win a yet greater victory. But
he will surely come to-day" she add
ed, as she settled herself at the foot
of a rock comfortably and gave her
self up to joyous anticipation.
When the division of the land had
been made under the direction Of
Joshua, she had felt soemwhat rebel
lious that such difficult portion should
be given to her father. why" she
had asked, petulantly, ibid they not
give you inheritance in the fruitful
valley of the Jordan? You have
fought hard and served long in be-
half of Israel, is it not time that an
easy portion were given you?" And
her father had drawn her close to his
side and had retold to her all the
thrilling early history of Israel. How
as n Of the spies he had declared
that they were able to overcome the
strong city of Anakim, and that God
had promised that city and the coun-
try round as his inheritance. "And
do I need an easy portion?" he had
exclaimed, while yet my vigor Is un-
abated and my courage still strong?"
and he had stretched himself to his
full height, and had drawn her up
In his powerful arms. and held her
laughingly before him while he de-
manded answer.
And she had looked into his eyes
and had caught the spirit Of his cour-
age and faith. From that moment
she entered into his plans for the ex-
petition against Hebron, and had
been, as we have said. the last one
to say good-by, and she was keeping
her vigil there at her lookout post as
she called 1t, that she might be the

GOOD ADVICE.

In attending to ordinary business and
daily needs, we should not allow our
selves to be transported by eagerness
and anxiety; but take reasonable and
moderate care and then leave everything
completely and entirely to the disposal
and guidance of Divine Providence, CIV
ing it scope to arrange matters for it's
own ends, and to manifest to us Gods
will. For we may consider it certain
that when God wills that an affair
should succeed, delay does not spoil it;
and the greater part He takes in it, the
less will be left for us to do.-St. Vim

THE STORY OF TWO BOYS.
(\yallaca's Farmer

We rode up town the other day with
boy about 10, and, as is our custom,
we endeavored in that short journey to
take the measure of the boy. He told
us that lie was working during vaca-
ton for SO II week and his board; that
he used dollar of that for clothing
and other expenses and put the other
two in the bank and that he has
neat little sum on deposit Further
more, he goes to church and Sabbath
school.
We rode few miles the other day
with another boy, a country boy Of
about 20, who was working for $40 q
month and board. When we asked
how much he was saving he said,
mot cent. / can hardly live on that"
On our intimating that he would when
he became old certainly scratch an
old mans head unless he reformed
he gravely informed us that our theory
Of life was all wrong; that If every
man would save our prosperity would
steadily decline; that 1t was only by
the generous spending Of all classes
that we have been able to maintain
our Astounding prosperity; and he pro-
welfare. He does not go either to
church or to Sabbath school.
1t was not very difficult to fore
cast the future OF these boys. The
one bids fair to become a prosperous
useful citizen credit to his family
and friends with home and the hap
piness which home life brings. The
other will have his place among the
flotsam the driftwood and rubbish
which floats on the surface of our
prosperity. For the boy is father
to the man
The country boy who gets $50 a
month and board has no reasonable
excuse for not saving at least 500 Of
it. The work may be slow but In
time he will own his farm II he
uses brains with his work. There are
greater temptations by far for the
boy in the city especially if his father
has some money; but Notwithstanding
all this the good boys are not all
found in the country.
