HAYS WRONG IDEA
STATESMAN ERRED IN SETTING
LIMIT OF USEFULNESS.
According to His Theory a Man Had
Succeeded or Failed at the Age
Of 40 But Time Proved
Its Falsity.

A quarter of a century ago / was
visiting John Hay at Whiteiaw Reid's
house in New York, which Hay was
occupying for few months while
Reid was absent on a holiday In Eu-

to telling the truth about himself as
he can. And he will tell the truth in
spite OF himself, for his facts and his
fictions will work Loyalty together for
the protection of the reader; each fact
and each fiction will be dab of paint,
each will fall in its right place, and
together they will paint his portrait;
not the portrait he thinks they are

TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY II is THE
BEST POLICY.
SELF-INTEREST A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
as Whole Benefits Each indi-
viduaI-The "Why and
Wherefore"

AS self.interest is the law which gov
erts the transactions of trade, 1t is the
first light In which the subject of
Trading at Home" must he treated
Sentiment has little influence in trade
The prosperity of any community
depends on the volume Of business
transacted within its borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount of money in circulation and
any influence which takes money out
OF community is detrimental to the
financial welfare of the community.
II Is In this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a com
monity, Money which should be kept
In local circulation goes to swell the
volume of money In the distant city
instead OF remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as the me-
dium of transfer among local mer-
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion OF money
is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby: It extends eventu.
allJ to every member of the com
munity. 1t is curtailment of business
which affects the value of all property
even TO the labor of the man who is
dependent on a days work for his liv.
Ing. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home In degree
which more than Offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
tha purchase.
Every dollar sent out OF any com.
munity for goods which can be pur.
chased at home represents percent.
