Home and its protection is the safe
guard Of all government. That citi-
zen who has the love of home and
fealty to home interests. is a worthy
representative of commonwealth. 1t
is the mass Of such men that are the
backbone of any community, and,
figuratively, the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded Whoever lives in. a COM
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist in
the building up of industries that add
to the greatness Of that community. is
like an alien. While he lives one
place, his heart is in another. He Is
not the ideal citizen. for he is not in
harmony with those who are his
neighbors. It is the duty of every
resident Of a town or community to do
his utmost to advance its interest.
By thus doing he not alone assists
himself, but his neighbors. his town.
his county, his state and his nation.

Home Trade Idea Not New.

rome Traoo tooa Not new.
Day after day the people are awak-
ening to the fact that the only way
the evils of trusts can be combatted
IL by an adherence to the home trade
doctrine. It is nothing new. II was
the sentiment that prompted the
founders Of our government to sound
the clarion of Liberty from the sum-
init Of Bunker Hill. Then. It was the
forcing Of a people dependent on an
other government to pay an unjust
tribute for necessaries OF life. To-
day 1t is one class of people Of a ma
ton. and the greatest nation on earth,
to compel the other classes to pay un-
just tribute In a commercial way. The
wrong was righted by blood in the
first case; the wrong can be righted
in the present case by the people with
out resorting to serious trouble. by
merely exercising their prerogatives
and the means that lie in their power
to prevent the concentration Of great
wealth In the big financial centers by
keeping their surplus earnings at
home. 1t is the draining the dollars
from the country to the large cities
that assist In building up the great
combines. the great trusts. which are
manipulated to the deteriment Of the
people of the country at large. 1t
does not require special legislation for
tho farmer to buy -four made In his
home mill; to use other products made
In his county or state. or to patronize
the merchants of his home town.

TO TIE FARMER.eoY.
His Chances Are Best In His Homo
Town Rather Than In the Big City.


My boy. the farm is all right. Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you. its life too
much of humdrum, and that you
would prefer to be one Of the residents
Of the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands Of oh
ers just like you. and with Just such
ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope. and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded:
have won laurels in the professional
field, in business, in statesmanship:
but the few who have succeeded thus
are 10 small in number compared to
the army of failures that there 10 lit

or course there are times when yor

Were you a resident OF the city. there
would be times when you would long
for the Quietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the pillow. or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work
than that the great majority Of the
city youths are compelled to follow.
and. how much greater the compensa-
ton? How would you like to stand

q large element Of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for

farm Offers more permanency Of occu-

attention ON employment in city OF
town, weigh every matter well. and
then act according to what reason die
tates. You wei be very likely to con-
clude that the farm IL good enough
place for you. and that your own lit

over-crowded city. Remember that
