Clarence McBeth, a well known miner who has worked here in the Warren District for a number of years, has just returned to Lowell from the os Cabazos mine. seventy miles south of Nacozari, to have one of his eyes treated for an accident which occurred a week ago. MT. MeBeth reports a great amount of activity in the Naco- zarf district. but that the mining com panies are having great deal of trou- ble in keeping MeXicans at work owing to the Yaqui scare. The Belen con- pany who are operating in the Dos Cabazos district, MT. McBeth states, are shipping ore not only to Douglas and Fl Paso, but to Germany and Swansea. Wales. This ore is hauled in wagons a distance of seventy miles to Nacozari, as their shelter is not vet completed, but they expect to blow in one of the furnoces next week.

FINDS RARE MANUSCRIPT.

COPENHAGEN, July 16.-Y. L. HeiIberg. professor of phylology in the University of Copenhagen, made a most interesting historical discov- cry at the convent of the Holy Grave at Copenhagen a few weeks ago While studying old manuscripts in the convent he discovered a number of pamphlets. which in addition to prayers and psalms, contained copies of a work by Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, who was born about 2S B. c. The manuscripe was a copy done about the year 300 by a monk and later conveyed to Copenhagen.

Trade at Home.

Patronage of the big mail order
houses is founded largely on short
sightedness. In one way 1t is akin to
patronage of the get-rich-quick
schemes. The buyer believes he is
getting something for his money that
is really not given. and fails to realize
either where his money goes or what
he gets for it.
No one would think Of telephoning
to a furniture store and asking the
dealer to send up dozen dining room
chairs. without having previously ex-
amined the chairs, or of ordering a
dress or pair of shoes, or a stove in
this way. Yet that is practically
what the patron of the mail order
house does. He orders by mail without
having seen the goods or having any
idea of their appearance or character.
He is taking long chance. Two
things on which he has to base his
conception of the articles ordered is
description in the catalogue and the
cut given there. In other words, the
attractiveness of the offer made de-
pends on the promises of the firm and
the engraver's art. 1t is possible to
make a very creditable cut from a
flimsy and worthless model 1t is
possible to describe an atrocity in a
way that makes 1t appear most desir-
able. Incidentally 1t seems to be al.
ways possible to find some one who
will accept the promise and cut at
their face value, without properly dis
counting them, and on the credibility

ness thrives. A little investigation
and comparison will convince the
average person that his money will go

invested right here in Beverly despite
the fictitious values offered by the
outside houses. But the articles sold
by the mail order houses must be
compared as they really are, and not

logues.-Beverly (Mass) Times.

PatronIzIna Home People.

An exchange says that war has been
declared on the great catalogue
houses of Chicago and other cities
by the 500 retail merchants of the
west In one Of the most striking eco
nomic movements this country has
ever known the small dealers are
fighting, they say. for their lives. The
mammoth institutions, employing
thousands of workers. doing their
business entirely through the medium
of their bulky catalogues. spending
no money in the communities whence
they derive annually millions of dol
lars of patronage, are forcing in
creasing numbers of home merchants
to the wall and so their opponents
claim, are making commercial
graveyards of once prosperous towns"
People living in country towns ought
to get wise and trade at home-Phil-

HELPS THE TRUSTS
ERROR TOO FREQUENTLY MADE
BY THE FARMER.
BUYS THROUGH MAIL ORDER
And In Doing So Contributes To-
ward Capital Concentration In
the Big Financial centers, to
His Great Injury.

Lord bless the American farmer.
He is one of the nabobs of creation
and he hardly knows 1t. In single
year his work adds to the wealth OF
the nation more by a hundredfold than
all the mines of the country. He gives
to the world twice the value in crops
and produce than the output all the
factories and mills of the nation pro
duce. He supplies the lubricant to
keep the wheels of progress in mo
ton, and IL he only knew 1t could buy
and sell a few hundred Rockefellers.
and still have enough left to purchase
a few kingdoms as large as Spain.
Yet II must be admitted that this great
American farmer needs some enlight-
eminent as to common economics.
While he is the king of wealth produc-
ers, and lot of it sticks to his fingers.
he is also philanthropist and doesn't
know it. He works hard to produce
his wealth and then patronizes the
machinery that lands goodly portion
of 1t in the Golfers of the Captains of
Finance who dictate things in Wall
street and elsewhere: in fact he as
sists the trust magnates to the money
required to build up combinations that
the good philanthropic farmer is COM
PEELED to support. He does it and he
knows not that he doeth so. Every
time the good tiller of the soil sends
away to the big mail order house for
his supplies, he does his mite toward
capital concentration in the great
financial centers. and his little mite
seeks a resting place among the
money held in reserve to feed the
wants of the trusts. 1t is about time
western farmers take tumble to cold
facts, and come to realization that
their interests are best subserved by
keeping their earnings as close to
their homes as possible.

The Prudent Piper,

Thomas F. Ryan, the noted finan-
cier, was talking about music In the
smoke room of the Deutschland.
Il like all music he said, except
such native and special sorts as the
tom-tom. the bagpipes, or the Indian
hufaa give off.
Speaking of bagpipes. did you ever
notice how piper prances up and
down as he pipes? He never sits, he
never stands still, but up and down
round and round. to and fro he struts
continually.
"A little boy listening to the weird
skirl of the bagpipes of street per
former, once said to his father:
Father, why does the piper keeI
on the move all the time he plays?

Sympathy Leans to Legs.

There is one appeal to charity that
Is pretty sure to be answered. said a
philanthropist. That is a request for
an artificial leg. Legs. somehow. are
warmly appreciated by the general
public, and the fellow who has to
scrape along without one is the object
of sincere commiseration. During my
15 years experience in philanthropic
work / have issued appeals to the
people at large on behalf of persons
who wanted various parts of their an.
atomy replaced. Some wanted teeth,
some an eye, others a hook like Cap
tain Cuttle's. Physical deficiencies of
that kind aroused but little interest,
but Just let a man advertise the fact
that he was in need of a leg and
enough money was quickly forthcom-
ing to fit him out with three or four
pairs of legs"

Individual VS.. Cooperation.

A well-known eastern financier, for
some time the president OF a large
trust company. recently resigned, CIV
ing as his reason that man. accord
ing to his belief, can do better work
for himself, and that no man can
really earn a salary equal to what he
can make in business for himself In
these days when all kinds of business
are being converged into corporations,
the number of trades in which a man
may engage In business for himself
have become so few that for a great
bulk Of men, even those having the
mental equipment which in other
years would have been sufficient to
make them their own masters, there
is now no other opening than that of
service for some corporation. For
the bulk of the people, outside of
those in agricultural pursuits, 1t is
service for the corporation or no work
at all. This truth is becoming more
evident day by day. Even the farmers
are feeling the grasp of corporate
methods. 1t is true that millions must
have the products of his lands and his
hands, but the corporations are the
mediums he must work through, and
from him they exact their fittings. 1t
is to the interest of the farmer as
well as the laborer in every walk and
sphere, to prevent as far as possible
further encroachment of organized
capital, and this can be done by as
far as possible keeping the dollars
that you earn in circulation In the
community where earned, and thus
prevent the further concentration OF
money and Of business in the great
cities.

GOOD Advice to the Small Merchant
Who Would Succeed.

The mail order question is one that
Is OF perennial Importance to nearly
every one of the smaller cities and viii
iages in the land. although the danger
that these institutions were bound to
annihilate the smaller stores does not
seem as imminent now as 1t did a
rev years ago. For instance, since
me passage of the pure food law by
congress many. II not all of the mail
order people. have discontinued the
selling Of groceries. 1t was plain in
this case that there was a consider
able amount of adulteration in the
goods sold or the mail order houses
would not have taken this step.
There are aspects of the mail order
question which may well give hope to
the local dealer The facts in the
case are that the catalogue houses
are not enjoying an unmitigated cinch.
for they are handicapped in many
ways In which the country merchant
is not For example, the entire coun-
try press almost without exception is
closed to mail order advertising. Here
is distinct advantage for the home
merchant. although sometimes he Is
somewhat slow in taking advantage
of it. If he is fossilized and walking

that 'it doesn't pay" to advertise. But

and this same business man will be
apt to object very strongly.
The mail order houses have ad-
vanced their business by advertising.
and have been badly handicapped by
having virtually only the magazines
and the catalogues to tell their story.
II the merchants of to-day expect to
cope with the mail order houses and
hold a fair share of the trade that
they ought to get, 1t means that they
will have to use printers ink and ad-
vertising space. Furthermore, they
will have to advertise inteiligently
and in accordance with twentieth cen
tury standards. Don't spring the
ancient gag about having been in
business so many years. The people
don't care a rap how long you have
been In business. They are interested
mainly in two things: First. what
goods have you got? Second, what do
they cost? Unless your advertisipg

Advertise What You Have to Sell.
