TRIAL MARRIAGES WOULD BE INDUSTRIOUS.
 By Pey. Dr.. Frank Craoa

The modern novel attack upon the family Is nothing but another form of the world old complaint against human destiny. Mrs. Par sons suggests trial marriages. The scheme of trial marriages Is, of course, simply mon- strous. To cure slight evil 1t would open the door to most certain and positive crime. It would put premium upon the wicked pro- pensities of men. When a man and woman

LIFE IS STILL ROMANTIC.

This century claims to be, and Is, intensely practical The struggle for life is strenuous, and many are forced to "cut their hard paths straightly by Poor Richards eloquence." On the other hand, we are continually told that modern society has no earnestness, no depth, little or no sincerity. and, worst of all, no high moral standard Fashion and pleasure and sham love are the amusements of the hour.

Previous to 1904 the officials of the steam of the country had paid but little at

This caused the more pro gressive ones among them to begin carefully to investigate the claims of the advantages of electric traction, with the result that at that

Home Trading,


FRIEND BIsHoP:
As have not complained to you or
any one else about paying so much for
goods | buy of our local dealers, | would
like to answer "Resident." Now have
many friends in trade at Island Pond
and only two of them ever refused me
credit when asked for it. One is dead,
the other is not. Now | have never
been ashamed to let my name be seen
attached to anything may write, and
think the dealers will tell you | always
pay them one hundred cents for dol
lar. fail to see where have taken any
thing out of my neighbors. know
some things, but if Resident does not
know more than he gives us credit for, |
don't wonder he never found himself in
pocket by sending off for goods, aud
that he is willing to patronize home
trade at any ccst. Now, Resident, as
YOU give no name ! cannot come to see
| YOU, but will YOU come and see those
"wooden nutmegs" at my house? |
will treat you well if know how, and
see if the farmers and all the laboring
class are not entitled to some considera-
ton in regard as to how their money
shall be spent. We need some of the
storekeepers, and If make no mistake
they need us. Now | will not quote
wooden nutmegs this time. but will give
you something more to the point, will
give provabIe facts
A man of our town went to home
dealer to buy some carpenter tools, He
showed list of what was wanted, and
the price asked was s22.35. He sent to
Chicago, procured the same things, and
after paying freight they cost him just
$40 - only, saving OF 1928. Now
why did not our own home trade secure
that order and not let the money 60 on,
of the place? Again: Another man

home trade, but finally WAS compelled
to send to Chicago, and saved nearly

twenty-seyen places of business in this
town. Isn't that patting il on little
too thick as there is no competition,
as the business men meet and make
prices.
In the past ages when the people were
oppressed God raised up leaders to take

Now would it not he better for our
traders to come down ou their goods

at home, telling u our homes are going

Now man is a funny animal, aud it is
easier to coax than drive him.

thinking the business men have no more
right to organize than W., and that the
