shelving. The drawers containing
sketches and photographs had been
pulled out and their contents thrown
about and trampled under foot.

Need a Good Bank.

A good bank is valuable asset for
the small town. During these davs
OF prosperity people of almost every
community have a surplus amount of
money to deposit in the bank. or to
invest in way that will bring a
fair margin of interest Lately a sys-
tenn has grown up of doing a banking
business by mail. Alleged savings
banks and investment companies in
large cities advertise widely Offering
SIX to seven per cent. interest on de-
posits. Many who have little knowl-
edge of financial affairs make demos
Its in these banks. The Lincoln hank
at Oak Park, ILL.,. was one of these in.
stituunus that made great offers tn
the people of agricultural districts In
order to secure deposits. More than
Sl'Ooo'OoO were deposited by farmers
and others in this concern. Within n
year 1t was declared unsound bv the
United States authorities, the pro-
moter of it placed under arrest and
charged with fraud. The poor de.
luded depositors are not likely to re-
ceive five per cent. of their deposits
Remember that when you send your
money from your local community II
ceases to be any factor in developing
home resources or in adding to the
wealth of the place. 1t is better al.

Widening THE FIELD.
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
soms Causes for Complaint Which
Can Be obIiterated by the
United Efforts Of the
People.

How often do we hear II said that
the young man has not the opportun-
ity that the young man Of score Of
years ago had. How great Is the COM
plant of trusts and combinations
which control industries to the detri-
ment of the smaller ones in business,
and how often IL reference made to
business concentration in the large
cities at the cost of the smaller
towns.
Innovations In business methods
have been many. 1t may be said that
this is an era OF economical methods;
that evolution is going on continually
broadening the field for individual
effort and making possible the opera
tion of mammoth enterprises. There
can be no doubt as to the detrimental
effects upon small towns of this busi-
ness concentration in the larger cities.
Pessimists deplore the lack of oppor-
tunity for the young men OF today.
At the same time the large corpora
tions put forth the cry that there Ia a
scarcity of the right kind of material
for important places of trust How
ever this may be, there is one thing
evident, and that is. small towns being
kept from advancing narrows the
field for the young men who would
otherwise enjoy an opportunity to en-
gage in business;
Travelling to the large city for en-
ployment the youth. perhaps, seeks
clerkship at moderate wages. There

compete with in the race for success.
His field is narrowed. 1t is not often
that he has fair competition, and ia
voritism he finds Is one of the obstruc-
tions in his way. One of the cures
for this condition is to devise means
OF enlarging the scope and Importance
of the so-called country towns.
There is no economical reason why
the large city should have the busi-
ness that rightfully belongs to the
small town. There is no saving in
buying goods at distant point even
though small percentage may be
saved directly. Whenever a resident
OF community sends his money to
some other community for the neces-
stiles that he requires, he robs his
own home town OF a certain amount
OF business. Employment is given to
the people of the large city instead of
the people OF the local community.
1t has been estimated that more
than SO per cent. of the trade goes
from some communities to larger
cities. II this trade were given to the
home town, 1t would Immediately dou-
BILE Its business Importance and give
corresponding increase in employment
for the people. This means that the
population of the town would be in
creased and the opportunity for en-
gaging in business would be greater.
Not only this but 1t is an established
principle that values of farm lands to
4 great extent are dependent upon the
activity Of the town near which the
farms may be located. Thus 1t is
plain that II the sons of farmers
would have greater opportunities open
to them for engaging in business, it
can be increased by closely adhering
to the home trade and home protec-
tion principle, which widens the local
field for individual effort in business

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

strangers TO town form their
opinions as to its people by the ap-
pearance OF the business places and
the residences. In a town where the
buildings are dingy and dirty, and the
show windows of the stores are care
lessly arranged, 1t Is evidence that
there is a lack of enterprise. 1t pays
the business men of a town to be care
full as to the exterior appearances of
their places Of business.
Small towns usually contain but few
expensive residences. 1t matters little
how inexpensively built residences are
II the buildings are kept well painted
and the yards neat and clean. This
is evidence of the good taste of the
people.
In many towns in country districts
there are hitching posts placed here
and there before the stores. 1t is gen.
orally the case that where the hitch
ing post is found. unless the street is
well paved. there is mud hole
Every town that is incorporated
should have regulations as to the
placing of hitching posts indiscrimin-
ately in the streets. There should be
set aside some side street that is con-
venient to the business portion of the
town. where the farmers and others
can hitch their teams instead of in
front of the stores.
Good sidewalks give the strangers
to town favorable impression of
the place, and also they are an advan-
tage In many ways and may prove
matter of economy through the pre-
vention OF accidents that might give
cause for damage against the town
corporation.
Nearly every small town has its
public park. 1t is often noticed that
these parks are little cared for. They
are public pastures and serve no good
purpose as places where the people
OF the town can meet evenings for
social intercourse. People OF towns
should take pride in keeping the pub
lie parks in good condition. They can
be made beauty spots with but little
effors and expense

TO BE CHARGED.
REPORT THAT THEY MUST PAY
TWO-CENT RATE.
There Would Be a Big Gain to the
Roads in Receipts by Such
Action.

Through the actions of the state
legislatures in passing two-cent fare
laws throughout the central and wes-
tern states as wella as a few states in
the east, it is highly probable the
railroads, including the Pennsylvania
will charge all employees the straight
two-cent rate, as other people are
charged. The passes, it is under
stood will be used only by the heads
CT departments and their chief clerks,
if the ruling is made. 1t is estimated
that the railroads would gain between
two and three hundred thousand doi-
lars each year by disseminating the
passes to the employees.
Even the remotest idea of such a
move, does not meet with favor
among the local employees of the
Pennsylvania. One of them states
that although he did not use much
mileage CT this nature each year,
when he did travel, and at that over
his company's own lines he did not
feel that he should be made to pay,
and that the railroad at least should
show enough courtesy to its employees
to grant them small amount of mil
cage now and then. Some of the To-
cal employees believe that the Penn
sylvania will never be a party to such
an action.

New York, June S-With the avowed
purpose to protect the national anthem
of the United States in the form it
was originally written by Francis
Scott Key, The Star Spangled Ban
ner" Association of America has been
incorporated at Albany. The action
of the state and city school authorities
in emasculating the third verse of the
anthem in the song books used in the
public schools, inspired the formation
of the associations. Charles r. Skin
ner, who was State superintendent of
Public Instruction in 1900, was re-
sponsibe for the omission of the verse
and he gave as his reason that lines

compel the restoration of the eypur-
gated third verse.

foundation rests upon the early eff

this great trade organization to reach
