KIIIlnu the small Towns.

1t is impossible to build up towns
without there being business to en-
ploy the people who reside in them.
The mail order system of doing busi-
ness is killing Off the small town, and
as a result the farmers residing near
them suffer by having a poor market,
and poor schools and other blessings
Of the kind that go with the live town.
Not alone this but farm values are
kept down.

FAVORS TO THE GERMANS.
President Soon to Announce Tariff
Concessions

Regarding the changes proposed to be
made in the treasury regulations govern
ing imports into the United States as of
even greater value to German exporters
than the actual concessions of reduced du-
ties contained in the recently negotiated
tariff arrangements, the German govern
ment is understood to be DESTROYS of having
these changes take effect at the earliest
possible moment. The reduction of duty on
German champagne will not take effect I'M
til July l, according to the terms of the
agreement. But it is held to be the spirit
of the understanding that the concessions to
German merchants made in the amendment
of the customs regulations to meet their
complaints should take effect as soon as
possible, or in other words in advance of
July l. Therefore as soon notice reaches
Washington that the German emperor has
signed the bill passed by the reichstag to
give effect to the terms of the modus vi
vendi, the President will issue a proclama-
ton announcing the fact and the amended
treasury regulations will be issued imme-
diately.
