"A Knock at Mail Order" suyir

"A Knock at Mail Order" Buying.
Here is a little "anti.catalcg
house" story that is going the
rounds. Many merchants are hav.
ing it printed and circulated in
their respective localities. The
cost is not great and the moral is
plain. Why not do likewise?
"Gone Forever" is the head line
and the story reads:
Ten years ago an Allen county,
Kansas, farmer put his initials on
a dollar bill. The next day he went
to the nearest town and spent it
with q merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back.
Four times in six years the dollar
came back to him for produce and
three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he got it back was four
years ago. He sent it to q mail
order house. He has never seen
that dollar since, nor never will.
That dollar bill will never pay any
more school or road tax for him,
will never build or brighten any of
the homes of the community. He
sent it entirely out of the CIRCLE of
usefulness to himself and his
neighbors, Don't send your mon
ey to mail order houses, but trade
in your home town and you may
get it again.

ments of all these encounters,

thinks of the place without grant
ing that part of the charm lies in
the fact that home and mother
were near the fishing hole.
1t makes a great deal of differ
ence when home is there, for the
family ties, the days passed in the
woods and fields round about, and
the favorite fishing and shooting
places are not easy to break away
from. If we were always Young 8
different story could be told. but as

DISCREDIT THE STORY
Account In New Mexico Papers Of Letting
Of BrOarwOod Extension Contract
Not Considered Authentic

The story published in the TeXico
Democrat and other eastern New
Mexico papers is that the contract
for the Brentwood extension from
Texlco has been let and that con
struction will begin at once is gen
orally discredited here by all who
are familiar with the situation. Tho
probability OF the lines being event
ually built is not questioned but the
contract is not yet let and cannot be
for several months.
The Brownwood extension Of the
Santa Fe lines has long been regard
ed as one Of the most certain of the
suggested railroad projects in the
Southwest and It's building has only
been regarded as question Of choice
of time. IT is the natural part Of
the development Of the Santa re
lines in the Southwest and completes
the transcontinental and Gulf trunk
The S9S,O0O,00O of now bonds
which were mentioned in connection
with the New Mexico story as hav-
ing furnished the money for the new
extension have not yet been issued.

of the pCCos Valley lines is TO be held
