The following letter, written by a
Michigan farmer, explains in clear
and unmistakable way the danger OF
buying of mail-order concerns. 1t was
addressed to one of the largest of this
class of institution in this country:
Baldwin, Mich, Jan. II, 1907.
Gentlemen:
l have your favor of recent date,
and also your catalogues and accom-
panying circulars offering premiums
for distribution of the same among my
friends. have no doubt that, as you
say. / will thereby confer a great ia
vor upon you, but l am compelled to
take issue with you on the statement
that / will also confer favor upon
my friends.
In my dealings with you, extending
over some time past, l have received
no favors from you'll paid for all
rot. and the length Of time | traded
with you, instead of establishing
friendly relations and gaining me ad-
ditional favor as 1t would in a home
store, gave you the opinion that, un-
like a new customer. to whom you
give your very best, so they will come
again, l was steady conner and any
old thing would do for me.
Our last deal opened my eyes and
convinced me of your policy. Your
catalogues offer some apparently great
bargains. But let us draw up our
chairs and see II there are not few
things very essential to the rural citi-
sen that are not mentioned within its
voluminous bulk.
For instance, there is no reference
to paying cash or exchanging goods
for wheat, oats, corn, beans, butter,
eggs and hay.

How much will you pay to support

public expense?
On what page do you offer to con-
tribute money to the support Of our

you provide in the way Of entertain

Can you, Mr.. Purchaser, not profit
by the experience of others and turn
your money into home channels by
trading with home merchants where
you will get dollars worth for dol
lar, or must you follow the mail-order
mans lead to trouble for yourself and
destruction for your community? Do
not wait for that evil day when you
have learned wisdom in the expensive
school of personal experience, but
profit by that purchased by others.
You will find it far cheaper and more
satisfactory in the end.

moval OF the post office at Brandon, "
Y, to Bay Pond. y. Y. by re-establishing
the office at Brandon and appointing Lud-

the purchase of practically all of the real
estate In the village to add to his estate
of 5000 acres. The office then was re-
moved to Bay Pond three miles. within the
confines of Mr.. Rockefel.er's estate. II

civil war veteran who had incurred MI
Rockefeller's displeasure, was afraid to go
through the Rockefeller estate to Bay
Pond to get his mail lest H. be arrested
for trespasS.
When the facts were brought TO Post
master General Meyers attention he d.
rected that an investigation be made at
once. The report of the inspectors reached

Cannon as a candidate. but they propose
to show to the homecomers Of Rush county
that Indiana republicans can do honor to

ess, in a Local Hospital


ess, in a Local Hospital.
Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, who Is charged
with killing the late Senator Arthur Brown
Of Utah. underwent a surgical operation
yesterday afternoon at the George Wash
ington University Hospital by DR.. H. L. E.
Johnson, assisted by the hospital staff OF
surgeons. DR.. E. K Shute was also pres
ent. Mrs. Bradley was removed from the
Jail to the hospital Friday. and prepara-
lions were at once made for the operation.
1t is said she was suffering from internal
hemorrhages and serious infection. and was
therefore in a dangerous physical condition.
DR.. Johnson stated last night that Mrs.
Bradley passed through the operation sue
cessfully. He added that she would be
over the direct effects Of the operation in
about three weeks and then she would have
to convalesce. 1t was his opinion that she
will be confined to her room for six weeks
or two months, and that she cannot be re-
turned to jail until the expiration of that
time should her application for bail be re-
fused by the court.
While Mrs. Bradley is in the hospital she
will be under guard, unless Justice Wright
should admit her to bail. 1t Is understood
she will be in charge of a woman who will
represent Warden Harris, as she is still a
prisoner in his custody.
The application for bail for Mrs. Bradley
will be definitely passed upon by Justice
Wright tomorrow. 1t Is said.
