OF the parcels post bill will mark one
OF its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at a few of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home dealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
tered in each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means prosper
GUS year to the country merchant. SO
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, in the
country dealer, staunch and loyal
friend and defender of his rights.
They pay taxes together, live side by
side, their children play and go to-
school together. When the crops are
Door or misfortune comes, to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-'
lions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured bargains
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
does he get value received? Not
often. The first order he may, but
that.is only bait. The business is
not founded on principles, it is not
builded on honorable methods, its
mighty walls are erected , on graft
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
those Of a much higher grade, You
are expected to send CASH with the
order or have it ready when the
goods. arrive with the big c. O.. ID:
mark on the package. Your crop fail

terest the mail order house, your
credit with them is good only so long
as your pocket book is filled. Your
order is. made out and you pay for
goods you never saw, put up and Sc
lected by men you do not know. II
these goods do not prove to be worth
the money, IL the shoes do not wear
well. or the suit is shoddy goods, win

bring comfort or necessary improve
ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea- !,
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests aSe
your interests. whose hand is always
ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the nashy catalogue Of the mail
order house to help kindle the kitchen
fire, and keep your money at home
where it will benefit you and your
neighbors over and over again. The
farmers dollar, earned by honest toll.
should not be added to the blood
money of these great mail order cor
porations. The farmer must join the
local merchant and the country editor
in battling this great peril that is
creeping, creeping onward with great
rapldity, and unless these forces are
combined and their efforts prove in
creasing, the day is not far distant
when the chance will be gone forever
the power will be too great to con-
quer. R
