Home Trade Idea Not New.

Day after day the people are awak.
ening TO the fact that the only way
the evils of trusts can be combatted
Is by an adherence to the home trade
doctrine. 1t is nothing new. 1t was
the sentiment that prompted the
founders Of our government to sound
the clarion Of Liberty from the sum.
NIT Of Bunker Hill. Then, 1t was the
forcing OF a people dependent on an.
other government to pay an unjust
tribute for necessaries OF life. To.
day 1t is one class OF people of a ma.
ton, and the greatest nation on earth,
to compel the other classes to pay un.
just tribute In a commercial way. The
wrong was rlghted by blood in the
first case; the wrong can be righted
In the present case by the people with.
out resorting to serious trouble, by
merely exercising their prerogatiyes
and the means that lie In their power
to prevent the concentration OF great
wealth in the big financial centers by
keeping their surplus earnings at
home. 1t is the draining the dollars
from the country to the large cities
that assist In building up the great
combines, the great trusts. which are
manipulated to the deteriment of the
people of the country at large. 1t
does not require special legislation for
he farmer to buy -four made In his
home mill; to use other products made
in his county or state, or to p~atronlze
the merchants of his home town.

cANNI6ALs FOUND IN CANADA.
Natives, 6eset by Famine, subslst on
Human Flesh.

Winnipeg, Man.-Tales OF cannlbal.
ism, wholesale murder. awful famine
and deadly feuds among the natives
OF northeastern Canada between the
eastern shore OF James bay and Lab
rador are brought back by J. A. Os-
borne, the veteran editor of the Fort
Francis Times. who has just COM.
pleted a trip of exploration in that
desolate, unlnviting country.
While at Moose Factory the ex.
plorer met a young man who fed
thither in terror of his uncle, who he
said had killed and eaten eight human
beings. There, too, he saw a woman
who last winter killed and ate her two
children. so great was the famine.
The woods seemed almost entirely
without the usual number OF deer and
rabbits, upon which animals the ma
tives ordinarily subsist.
As these occurrences did not seem
to have caused any tremendous stir In
that region Osborne has come to the
conclusion that c%annibalism Is prac-
ticed openly upon many occasions
among the Indians and half-breeds.
Osborne says the Indian and Eski-
mo population of the region is dimin-
ishing rapidly, due partly to emigrs-
ton TO the coast OF Labrador and part
ly to the prevalence of disease and
frequent scarcity Of food.

Duty Of Good Citizens.

Home and it's protection Is the safe.
guard Of all government. That citi.
zen who has the love of home and
fealty to home interests, is a worthy
representative Of a commonwealth. II
is the mass OF such men that are the
backbone Of any community, and,
figuratiyely, the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded, Whoever lives In a com
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist In
the building up Of industries that add
to the greatness of that community, Is
like an alien. While he lives one
place. his heart is In another. He is
not the ideal citizen. for he Is not in
harmony with those who are his
neighbors. 1t is the duty of every
resident OF a town or community to do
his utmost to advance its interest.
By thus doing he not alone assists
himself, but his n%eighbors, his town,
his county, his state and his nation.

Ny boy, the farm Is all right. Some

ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope, and after
years have regretted their youthful

but the few who have succeeded thus
are so small in number compared to

Were you a resident of the city, there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that

be long riding the pillow, or harvesting
the grain, but far superior Is the work
than that the great majority of the
city youths are compelled to follow,
and how much greater the compensa.

behind the dry goods or grocery coun.

and a constant struggle. The best
years of life are wasted In making
money for others, while the indus.
