tie country merchant to carry Oh

You must remember, too, that when
you send your money to some big con
cern in a distant city, you lessen the
amount of money in circulation in
your own residence town. II you had
spent it at the home store, some Of
it at least would have been paid out
by the proprietor in the form of
wages to his employees, they in turn
would have expended it for the neces-
stiles of life, and it would have passed
from n to another Of the home deal
ers, proving an important factor In
the prosperity of the community. Hav-
ing Sent it to the mail order house
the probabilities are that it will never
again benefit anyone In your home
town.
You should trade with the home
merchant because he is the n from
whom you ask and receive favors.
Perhaps you have had a run of i'll luck
you have lost your position, had
long-continued illness in the family, or
have experienced difficulty in collect
ing money due you. You are in
straitened circumstances. Would a
letter to the mail order house, stating
all these circumstances, secure for
you a supply of the n-ecessaries of
life on liberal credit terms? Most as
suredly not. An appeal to the propri-
etors for aid in your extremity would
be barren of results. 1t is the home
merchant who stands ready to extend
the credit necessary to tide you over
an emergency, and for this reason, if
for no other, he should have your
loyal support in your times of pros
perity.
Perhaps you are financially indie
pendent, and have never known the
necessity of asking for credit. Even

that everybody in town knows tina,
he is a hindrance rather than a hell
to the community. He is not wanted
in public positions, and when ques
lions of local interest and Importance
are discussed, his opinion carries fal
less weight than the man who con
tributes his share to the prosperity OF
the community by spending his mon
ey where he earns it.
In addition to losing in a large de
gree the respect of others and his
own self-respect, the nan who does
nothing to build up the town in which
he lives fails to find the contentment
which is necessary to happiness. Hav
ing done nothing to make the town
better, he is unable to see the many
advantages it possesses, and is con
tinually talking and thinking of its
deficiencies. He does not o out
however, but stays on year after year,
a disconnected parasite, getting all he
can and giving as little as possible In
return. There is an unwritten law OF
nature that makes it impossible for
one to really taken an interest in a
place until he has done something for
it, and it is only when we have done
our share toward building up the town
in which we live that it becomes a
real home to us.
Perhaps the local dealers in country
towns do not always have in stock
just the articles you desire, but they
are usually willing to order whatever
their customers want, and under or
binary circumstances can supply you
as quickly as you can procure the
goods from a mail order house. When
you buy of the, home merchant, the
goods are before you and you see
what you are getting. In buying By
mail there is always a chance that
when the goods arrive they will not
prove to be just what you expected
and desired. In that cas- you are put
to the inconvenience OF sending them
back for exchange, or if the need is
immediate and pressing, you are
obliged to accept that which is not
entirely satisfactory.
Trade at home in order that your
home town may have stores at which
to trade. There are many times when
you are in a hurry for some article,
there Is nc time to send to New York,
Chicago, or elsewhere. Your need is
immediate and imperative. You are
glad under such circumstances to
trade with the home merchant, yet ii
other people followed your example
and patronized mail order houses,
there would be no home merchant to
trade with. II others bought Of him
only when they wanted things in a
hurry, and sent out Of town for the
greater part Of their supplies, he
would have left for more promising
fields long ago, or If he had stayed in
those circumstances, the sheriff would
finally have closed his doors. You
wouldn't like to live in a place with
out stores, and yet it may be that you
prefer to reside i'm a country town
rather than in a city. Do your share,
then, toward making It possible for

All his life in union mine,
He earned his daily bread
They buried him in union grave
When the union man was dead
He had a union doctor,
Likewise union nurse;
They got union coffin,
Also union hearse.
And then he went to Heaven,
But to stay he didn't care;
He kicked and scowled because he said
Non-union men we're there.
He then went to the other place,
Produced his union card,
When Satan threw an honest face
And studied good and hard.
Aud then he laughed, his hands did rub

papers were objects Of charity, when

the paper, but those days have passed

each of which is worth money, just as
potatoes, legal services or dry goods are

Nov that nearly everybody takes
the home paper it would seem that no
body should have to be shown that
advertising space in the home paper is
worth money to the buyer-that is, if
he knows how to use his space intelli-

years have learned how.

people in general, Of our little city.
The number present being estimated at
about eighty-hve. After the usual form

prayer, creed, commandments etc, the
following program was rendered:

AS whole, the program was very
pleasingly rendered. The parts taken
by the scholars were given in such
manner that far excelled the expecta-

charge
Mr.. Berryman's address was more
than gratifying to those present. He
brought in the story of the Resurrec-

the listeners to such a height which
made them think they we're living in
that long ago time. The praise, the
melody aud solemness of his words lent
that holiness and inspiration to the day

CROPS BADLY DAMAGED
And Retarded Throughout New Eng
land BY the Cold Weather.

Concord. n. H., June 9.-Serious dam
age and delay to crops has resulted
from the unprecedented cold weather
of the past month in all sections Of
northern New England. Government
records at points where weather OBJ
servers are stationed indicate that the
average mean temperature for the
month of May was lower than in any
other year since these records were
started more than 80 years ago.
In this city the average mean was
just so degrees and the lowest point
registered by the thermometer was %
on May u. Five frosts occurred hero
during the month, three of which are
recorded as killing" one "heavy" ana
one light"
The only crop which will be ready for
gathering on time will be the hay
crop. The cold weather had had little
effect on the grass, and the rains have
given it a thick, luXuIiant growth.
The greatest actual shortage for the
entire season is likely to be in the to-
matO crop.
