PULLING TOGETHER
HOME MERCHANTS SHOULD PA
TRONlZE EACH OTHER.
KEEP DOLLAR GOING ROUND
Do Not Let It Escape by Unnecessar-
lily Sending 1t to the city-Set an
Example to Others.

The community that will pull to-
gether, that will work as one man
for the general interests, will find an
abundance of prosperity.
And working together means the
spending of the dollars of the COM
munity within the community. Nor
does it mean only that the farmer, the
mechanic, the doctor, the preacher,
the editor must spend their money at
home, but it means also that the
merchant must do the same thing. It
means that you, Mr.. Dry Goods Mer-
chant, must patroniZe your neighbor,
Mr.. Furniture Dealer, when you want
furniture. 1t means that you, Mr..
Furniture Dealer, must patronize your
neighbor, Mr.. Dry Goods Merchant,
when you want dry goods. It means
that the groceryman must patronize
the home implement dealer when he
wants new wagon, and the imple-
ment dealer must buy his groceries
in the home town. 1t means that
whether Mr.. Butcher, Mr.. Grocery
man, Mr.. Dry Goods Merchant, Mr..
Furniture Dealer, Mr.. Hardware Man,
or whoever it may be, that intends to
erect new building they should buy

house, or the groceryman sent 1t to
the city for his dry goods? The
trust organization of the community
would have been broken, that dollar
would have ceased to cara profits for
the people of the community, but
would have began earning dollars for
the city into which it was sent.
It is the dollar that is spent at
home that makes the savings deposits
of the home bank grow; that in.
creases the wealth of the community.
and decreases the tax rate. Buying
at home means saving the commun-
ity, but, Mr.. Merchant, do not preach
this trade at home doctrine unless
you practice it. You must buy your
stock of merchandise in the city to
be sure, but aside from what is spent
for your stock of merchandise see
to it that every dollar it is possible
to keep at home remains in the com
munity. Keep them circulating
among your neighbors, and they will
make money for you as well as fer
them; they will build the home COM
munity, and make of it prosperous
community in which your business
will grow, and your town holdings
will grow in value at the same time
the farmers acres grow in value. The
home trade problem is many sided
one, and the home merchants side OF
the problem is not the least of them.

nWilIu Yourself 10 sleep.

Fortunate is the woman who has
successfully cultivated the habit OF
sleeping at will. It is said that Miss
Julia Marlowe can rest between
scenes of the most exacting plays by
her ability to drop asleep when she
pleases. These little periods of uncon'
consciousness are great restorers, and
there need be no special preparation
for them. We associate sleep with
darkness and bed, but daylight, soft
couches and easy chairs are just as
good for sleeping purposes-only the
power of will-concentration is lacking
and that is so general as to be a Sc
rious drawback to good work in all
directions. We see women of splendid
health and poise, of strong mentality
and we marvel at their "gifts" when
the whole secret of their power lies in
concentration.

THE STORY.

I T was the proudest moment of Alb
4 inle1ech's life. The ambitious
dream of the years before had been
realized, and there he stood, elated
but imperious, before the people of
Shechem, their acknowledged king.
The sun shone in his strength and
glory, and nature all about seemed
smiling in silent tribute as the sol.
emn procession of the priests of Baal
had set forth from the temple that
morning and proceeded to the great
oak that stood like a giant sentry
upon the knoll just outside the town.
There the priests had chanted their
fnvocations and had spoken the
words that proclaimed Abimelech
king, at the same time placing upon
him the magnificent and costly ephod
which years before had been made by
Gideon, the father of Abimelech and
which up to the present time had
been treasured in the house of Gideon.
Suddenly as the procession enters
the town a voice rings out from the
heights above overlooking the city.
Quickly every eye is turned in that
direction, and there sharply outlined
on the cleaning white of the rock a
| man is seen standing. His appear
ance is almost that of a supernatural
being. His white, tense features, his
cleaning eye and streaming hair, his
outstretched arms and hands pointing
to the people below him, and the
nervous tension apparent in every
muscle of his body as he drew him
self up and shouted in high-pitched
voice cast a mysterious spell over the
people, so that where an instant be-
fore had been the noise of tramping
feet and the shouts of acclaim there
fell silence still as death.
And had not the people been so fas-
cinated by the apparition before
them, they would have noted the
| startled look of surprise and fear
which passed across the features of
Abimelech, they would have seen
him start back and catch his breath
and mutter:
lothian! BY the gods I thought
my men had slain him! Or is it his
spirit?"
But this dismay gave place te won
der as he listened to the remarkable
parable which lothian spoke
Let fire come out from Abime-
lech, he cried in closing, and devour
the men Of Shechem, and the house
of Milo; and let fire come out from
the men of Shechem and from the

widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maine, crepe and
lace? It is a custom handed down to
us from the Romans, who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear of hair on their
heads, but of course it was most I'm
attractive for women. No one, not
even Roman matron, liked to be
seen bald-headed, so the women of
the Tiber devised a little cap to hide
their badness, and thus the custom
has come down to us, even though
heads are no longer shaved as sign
of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll
ing was first established, the people
thought that the sound of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men, and women, too wear
boNo OA ChC 1C1L III LA5lE HAAS
The reason is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
of hats of to-day was first introduced
it was ornamented with a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side, reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
sort of anchor, or safety line, and
were put there expressly to be seized
when sudden gust of wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because, as a
general thing, the left hand was more
apt to be free than.the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knotted in a
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut off quite close to
the hat, so that they form very
small and stiff bow knot.
It is always the custom to throw old
shoes after bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were in the habit of using their Slip
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper is not really
intended for the bride, but for the
bridegroom, who is supposed to use
it for the same purpose the mother
and father of olden times did.

Eiu Plans for Atlanta.

Rev. Len G. Broughton, of Atlanta,
Ca, has all his plans made to build
great new Baptist tabernacle. He
proposes to erect some other build
ings all on the same square, one of
which will be Bible training school
similar to the Moody Bible institute
in Chicago. Such a school is already
being conducted in small way, with
Miss Blodgett in charge. The taber-
nacle is to have many stories, and a
great deal of institutional work will
be carried on. The church is the
largest of the Southern Baptist de.
nomination, having about 1900 mem.
bers, and Sunday school of about
1000.

the material for that building at
home of their neighbor, Mr.. Building
Material Man.
And let us speak word for Mr..
Printer Man also. He is part of
this community; he contributes to it's
prosperity; he advertises it, and he is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which the community's dol
lars are to circulate. When you, Mr..
Merchant, want printing Of any kind,
give the job to the home printer.
The dollar that you spend with him
he will again spend with you, and
both will make a profit on it. It is
but fair that he have this, his legiti-
mate portion of the home trade. He
is as much part Of the community
as yourself, and as much entitled to
your support as you are entitled to
the support of the farmer, the me-
chanic, the preacher, the doctoA-
The battle against the mail-order
octupus can never be successful
one unless all interests are actively
| engaged in it. It can never be sue
cessful so long as the merchant wants
it preached but does not want to prac-
| tice it himself. The merchant who
sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
| ing his own household supplies, sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves, of the city merchants, is not
entitled to the support of the COM
munity. Such a merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community S
dollars just what he condemns in
others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few, if any, such mer-
chants as this in this or other COM
munities, but if there are any here it
is not for their benefit that this pa
per is preaching home trade to it's
readers.
We hear much of the strength OF
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength lie? To a large
extent in the fact that they control
the trade in the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an interest earn
ing dollar. Let us form a little trust
of our own. Let all of us, merchant,
farmer, doctor, mechanic, preacher,
editor, spend our dollars at home,
keep them at home, and we have or.
ganized trust of our own that will
bring to each of us our share of earn.
ings on the capital invested.
This is not a hard problem to figure
out for ourselves. The farmer, let
us say, wants a dollars worth OF
sugar. He buys it of the home gro.
ceryman, and the groceryman makes
profit. The groceryman buys a dol.
lars worth of dry goods, and the dry
goods merchant makes a profit. The
dry goods merchant patronizes the
dentist, and the dentist makes a
profit, and the dentist buys butter and
produce from. the farmer and the
farmer makes a profit. So as the
dollar goes around and around com.
munity each man into whose keeping
it comes makes a profit on the han
/ ding of it, and the dollar grows into
two. But what would have happened
had the farmer taken that dollar to
buy his groceries of the mail-order
