SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
An Honest Answer to These Will
Keep the Trade with the
Home Merchant Every
Time.

time-with the mail order catalogue
and its temptations, there are two,
and only two, points to be taken into
consideration
One OF these Is moral obligation,
and the chances are that that will be
dismissed as sentimental nonsense.
The other is-Will it pay? and to
that the thrifty person will be in.
clined to interpret an answer from the
prices quoted in black-faced figures in
the catalogue.
Neither OF these questions should
be lightly dismissed. Moral obliga.
tion is not sentimental nonsense, and
blacktaced figures sometimes lie
The duty man owes to his own
community and his obligation to trade
at home are so often reiterated In the
country press that, possibly like some
Of the preaching, IL has tendency
to harden the hearts of the sinners.
Nevertheless, the principle is true as
gospel.
What has your neighDoring town
given you, Mr.. Farmer? A market for
your produce. What has made % to
80 per cent. Of the present value Of
your farm? The accessibility of
market. You know what your grand
father did on that same farm? Drove
his hogs and hauled his grain go so,
maybe 10 miles to the nearest market
town, and received prices for them
that would make you howl about the
H.. r..
lily supplies for which he paid what
you would consider monopolistic
prices. Do you happen to know what
the old farm was worth then? Well,
II lacked good deal of being SIS or
500 an acre.
Yes, the home town, with its handy
market. has advanced the value OF
your property and made you worth
several thousand dollars more than
your grandfather was worth. The
home town affords schooling for your
children, and perhaps social and
church privileges which your family
would not otherwise enjoy. The rural
mail routes and telephone systems,
radiating from the home town, as
spokes from hub, bring to your
home the greatest conveniences of
modern times.
What would your farm be worth
and how many Of these advantages
would you be enjoying now, II the
city from which that mail order cata
logue came We're your nearest market,
your most accessible trading point,
your only post office and social center,
the only place to which you could look
to connect you with the outside
world?
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing the settlers OF newly-opened
reservation do is to send for a wagon
load OF mail order catalogues? Well, |
haven't. They lay out town site
every six or eight miles, start two or
three general stores, build school
house, a church. blacksmith shop, a
grain elevator, petition the depart
ment for a post office. and start
newspaper They know from former
experience that, with these things
close by, life will be endurable, what.
ever hardships may come. They know,
also, that without them they must live
lives of isolation and endure an exist
ence that is contrary to all natural
human instincts.
On the other hand, 1t goes without
saying, that the average country town
cannot exist without the support OF
its tributary territory. Then, II that |

THE FLYING FOX.
Curious Inhabitant of the Forests In
Eastern Australia.

Curious Inhabitant of the Forests In
Eastern Australia.
The flying fox is very curious in
habitant of the forest near Moreton
bay, in east Australia. 1t lives in
f1ocks and moves generally toward the
dusk of the evening, and the noise pro-
duced by the heavy tapping of the so
called wings is very singular. The
f1ocks like quiet places, where there
are large araucarian pine trees, with
an underwood of scrub and creepers.
The foxes hang in vast numbers from
horizontal branches of the pine trees.
When there is a clear space among
the trees an enormous number Of the
animals may be seen, and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter short bark,
something like the sound made by
young rocks. Often every branch is
crowded, and the young foxes are seen
either tapping their wings and holding
on with their hind feet and with their
heads downward or snarling and fight
ing for places.
Suddenly the whole take to fight and
flap their furry, winglike sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to
them.
The creature is not true fox, and
there is fold of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and it enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the air.
