Toxic, Japan.-"Before the war is
as much a stock phrase in Japa1 to-
day as it ever was in the United States
after the struggle of the sixties. The
war has made all things new. Now
Japan is ship that has found herself.
And what are mostly guesses on the
part of the rest of the world concern
ing Japan's purposes and future are
intensely interesting present problems
with persons on the scene. The sitE-
alton here is complex and rather be-
wildering, but there are certain un-
questioned facts which stand out
clearly as a result of the war.
One of the wonders wrought by this
wonderful war takes rank as perhaps
the most conspicuous achievement of
its kind in religious history. For the
conflict lately waged in Manchuria has
been the means of winning the whole
nation to friendliness for Christianity.
This amounts to nothing less than a
vast Christian conquest. It justifies
the sanguine reports which mission
aries sometimes send home, without
any such ground as they may stand
upon in the present case. Represen-
tatives of many denominations, from all
parts of the empire, natives as well as
foreigners, have assured me that prac-
tically the last vestige of active oppo.
sition to Christianity has gone from

were debarred from the scene of war

Closely parallel to the fag end of

at various turnings is a street which

a dingy, granite paved, populous street

that, but the price of the article rep

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

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

factor which determines largely the
value of all goods or property on the
market; the scale of wages and the in

Accordingly, it is to the interest of
every member of community to con-
ine his expenditures as nearly as pos

A PRETTY ROMANCE
Will Terminate in a Marriage at Hon.
oIuIu of Millionaire Potter.

East Liverpool, GA pretty 10
nance, begun amid the book shelves
in the Carnegie library at East Liver
pool, will terminate within a few
weeks in a marriage at Honolulu, Ha-
waiian Islands. Beneath the sunny
skies of the Pacific Miss Gertrude Ba-
ker is awaiting the coming of ner
lover, William E. Phillips, millionaire
pottery manufacturer of East Liver
pool. Mr.. Phillips is now travelling to
Honolulu as fast as train and ship can
take him.
Miss Baker, 25, is the steDdaughter
of the late Gen. Benjamin Jones, Of
Mt. Vernon, o., who in his day was
one of the foremost men in Ohio mill
tary affairs.
About two years ago Gen. Jones
died, and Miss Baker accepted minor
position in the Carnegie library at
East Liverpool. Mr.. Phillips, who is
junior partner in the great pottery
firm of Smith & Phillips. met her
there, and from that time on he took
a remarkable interest in books. partic-
ularly those in the Carnegie library.
For year Mr.. Phillips and Miss Ba-
ker were much in each others COM
pany. Finally the young woman re-
ceived an offer of the superintendency
of the Carnegie library at Honolulu.
Mr.. Phillips begged her not to go, but
she insisted.
Distance seemed to only lend en-
Chantment to the two lovers, and they
kept up a regular correspondence. In
letter after letter Mr. Phillips begged
the girl to become his wife, and
finally he received the IOngGd for an
swer only a few days ago. Hastily
packing his trunks he started for San
Francisco.
After the wedding, which will take
place in Honolulu as soon as he ar
rives, Mr.. Phillips will take his bride
to Japan and then on a trip around
the world.
Miss Baker is a niece of former Gov.
Nash, of Ohio, and a cousin of B. F.

steel king of Pittsburg.

justified and it holds just as good in

on a smaller scale.
The effect of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has in

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

TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY 1T is THE
BEST POLICY.
SELF-NTEREST A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
as Whole Benefits Each IndI.
ViduaI-The "Why and
Wherefore"

As self-interest is the law which gov.
erns 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 its 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
munity. 1t is curtailment of business
which affects the value of all property
even to the labor of the man who is
dependent on 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

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 hCme. If the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for a 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 a distinct loser, as he has
secured inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives. as

money. F. r. SINGLETON.

was challenged and the pastor swore,

ton last fall. A delicate point of law
has been raised. Raudebaugh is pres
