Lima Bean PURGE,

Let cup and half of dried Lima
beans stand over night covered with
cold water. In the morning drain,
rinse and set to cook in boiling water.
Let cook until tender, supplying wa
ter (boiling) as needed, and adding
a teaspoonful of salt during the last
of the cooking. The beans will re-.
quire about three hours cooking at a
gentle simmer. When the water has
evaporated and the beans are tender,
with pestle press them through the
PURGE sieve. Add nearly one-fourth
cup of butter, little hot cream,
and salt as needed A teaspoonful
of onion juice, a tablespoonful of fine
chopped parsley, and paprika may be
added at discretion. The flavor OF
onion is always good with beans. Beat
the mixture until light, when it is
ready to use. Serve very hot.

TRADING AT HOME.
MANY REASONS WHY IT is THE
BEST POLICY.
SELF-lNTEREST A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
as a Whole Benefits Each lndi-
vidual-The "Why and
Wherefore"

AS self-interest is the law which gov.
ems the transactions of trade, it is the
first light in which the subject of
Trading at Home must be treated.
Sentiment has little influence in trade,
The prosperity of any community
depends on the volume of business
transacted within it's borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount of money in circulation and
any influence which takes money out
OF community is detrimental to the
financial welfare of the community.
1t is in this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a COM
munity. Money which should be kept
in local circulation goes to swell the
volume of money in the distant city
instead of remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as the me-
dunn Of transfer among local mer-
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion of money
is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby: it extends eventu-
ally to every member of the COM
munlty. 1t is a cUrtailment of business
which affects the value OF all property
even to the labor of the man who is
dependent on Il days work for his liv-
ing. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home in a degree
which more than offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
the purchase.
Every dollar sent out of any COM
munity for goods which can be pur-
chased at home represents a percent

perity of our city. The criticism is
Justified and it holds just as good in a
lesser degree to the man who trades
out of towel. 1t is the same offense
on smaller scale.
The effect of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has In
mind a notable instance. Two cities
OF about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides of river
which is a boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade in the two towns. The
millionaires of one of the cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out. AS result, the town is
rapidly forging to the front; every one
is prosperous, the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
mllllonaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because of
lack OF capital; merchants are fail
ing; stores and houses are being va
Gated; people are moving away and a
general, air of poverty and decay per.
vades the place.
Few cities present such strong ex.
amples OF the value of money spent at
home but the same principle holds
true in every community. 1t is due
every community to reinvest the
money it produces in the community
which produces it.
The chance of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tlsed at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description of the adver-
tisement. The few cents which is
saved on the price of an article so
bought is usually sacrificed in the
quality OF the article. Buying from the
mail order house is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
a nome merchant without examining
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1907-05-31

the goods, but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods Of
fered for sale at home. If the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for little while, he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
of better quality and as good bargains
as the mail order goods, taking quail
ity into consideration. If this pre-
sumption is true, the buyer of mail or
der goods is distinct loser as he has
secured inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives, as
we'll as himself, of the use of the
money. F. R. SINGLETON.

age of injustice to the community it.
self. IN the first place, some merchant
loses the profit On sale Not only
that, but the price of the article rep
resents so much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
up means that the operations Of the
merchant are curtailed to that extent.
He has that much less to spend; that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage of the
butcher, the baker and the other pur-
Veyors OF the necessities of life; to in
vest IN property, in newspaper adver-
Using; to deposit in bank where it
may be used by other members of the
community, or to devote to church or
charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita OF circulation in the community:
factor which determines largely the
value OF all goods or property on the
market; the scale Of wages and the in
terest on loans.
1t is not hard to trace the effect of
the diversion of money from it's legiti-
mate channels. When money is scarce
trade languishes because of the lack
of circulating medium; merchants and
all others curtail expenses; the volume
OF trade decreases and nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter of the circulating
medium. When the volume of money
increases, trade moves and it moves
as fast as the volume of money will
permit. Money that is working is con-
stantly producing profit to all: money
that is not working produces stagna-
ton in trade
Accordingly, it is to the interest of
every member of a community to con-
line his expenditures as nearly as DOS
slble TO the community in which he
lives. Every dollar he spends at home
helps to make his own holdings more
valuable because they are more salable.
When a community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and if the money is not divert
ed, it revolves constantly in the finan-
c1al circle OF the community, earning
profit for everyone who handles it
and turns it over
Accordingly, the money spent at
nome is bearing compound interest for
the community. It's effect is appare Mt
even to the outsider Spending money
at nome is species of loyalty which
makes materially for the progress of
the community. If the community is
composed of the sort of people who
spend their money at home it ad.
Vances rapidly. There is money for
public improvements, money for new
enterprises. The money which the
loyal man makes at home is invested
at home; the city grows, the streets
are improved and the marks of pros.
perity and progress are evident on
every side.
We are wont to inveigh against the
wealthy man who makes his money in
