COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
1t 10 Not Always a Matter Of Saving TO
Buy Cheap Goods.

.
Almost every rural community has
within its confines people who have
paid well for experience and have
learned costly lessons as to buying
of goods.
Not long ago In o western town q
citizen desired to buy a kitchen range.
A visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser, who by
the way had his attention attracted
by the advertising in his farm paper
of "a bargain in a kitchen range.
The range was advertised as equal to
those costing 'twice the money at the
local store" The citizen sent q
money order to the concern advertis-
ing tho range, and in the course of
few weeks he was notified by the rail.
road agent that the range had ar.
rived. In removing 1t from the sta
tion to the farm house, in some mex
plainable way part OF 1t was broken.
The broken pieces were taken to the
local hardware store but could not be
duplicated. A letter was written to
the range company and In the course
of few weeks duplicate of the
broken part was received. but 1t was
discovered that it would not At the
stove. 1t had to be returned and u
few weeks later another piece was
sent; then the stove was placed in
use. Within six months the top had
become 80 warped that 1t interfered
seriously with the drafts. At the end
of the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser OF the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one-third moro
than the poor range cost, and after q
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when arst bought.
This is one illustration OF how econ
omy wrongfuiiy practiced is---ex.
pensive. 1t Is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters when good
articles are wanted. Neither Is It q
wise idea to buy goods before you
have an opportunity to carefully ex-
anime them and determine their
value.

The conservative element In China
has been greatly upset by two Incl
dents which occurred almost simulta
neously. The "holy duke, Yen," who
is a lineal descendant of Confucius in
the seventy-sixth generation, visited
Peking for the express purpose of op.
posing the government plan for a
memorial university to his great an.
cestor. He expressed his belief that
theD institution should teach modern
languages and modern science, as we'll
as the Confuscian sacred books, which
are the pillars of the old Chinese
learning. The other incident, even
more shocking to tradition, was the
visit of Count Otani, the abbot of one
of the most famous Buddhist mon.
asteries in Japan. He represents the
advanced wing of the sect which advo.
Gates the marriage of the priesthood,
tolerates meat eating, and accepts
modern science. He has his countess
with him, and travelled in that most
dangerous of foreign devil wagons"

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions Of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers Of the United States.

q v
One OF the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated Of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 100000 farmers. II during a
year each OF those farmers can be-
saved $40 in time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means of
improved roads, 1t means saving of
$50. 100000 annually; but the truth Is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation Of the good roads
movement saves each farmer In the
land from $50 to 500. Thus it can be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate hun
dreds OF millions of dollars each year.
Good roads are important 10 the
progressive town. This fact has be-
come 30 recognized that wherever

New Immigration Act.

On July 1, 1907, the new immigra.
tion act of February 20, 1907, went
into effect. AS this law is to repre-
sent, for the present at least, our pol.
icy with regard to the admission Of
alients to the United States, 1t Is we'll
to see clearly at this time what
changes the new act has made In pre-
vious legislation, and what the prob
able effects will be- The new
act Is weak, remarks Robert Dec.
Ward, in North American Review IN
that the excellent poor physique"
clause Is largely nullified by giving
the secretary of commerce and labor
authority to admit physically defec.
tive alients under bonds Except In
cases of tuberculosis or loathsome and
dangerous contagious diseases). Ali
past experience goes to show that such
bonds are useless. All common-sense
goes to show that physically defec
tive and degenerate alien is undesir
able, whether he be a public charge or
not. Better to have 100000 aliens
spending all their lives in American
almshouses, insane asylums or prisons
than to have 500 physically weak, de.

ceeding generations. We might estab.
lish a physical standard for admission
to this country like that of the United
States army or navy. That would be
too high. We might require every
alien to have a physique sufficiently
rugged to enable him to work at hard
manual labor, whether he be clerk
or painter or a farm hand. That,
also, might be too severe. The very
least we can do is to establish a phys.
ical standard such that any one so
weak, degenerate or defective as to
have his ability to support himself
thereby interfered with should be ex.
