ton. And right here Is where the good
town proposition comes to him with
great force. He knows he can send
his children to the village school at a
great deal less expense than to send
them away to college, and that in
most cases better results are OBJ
tanned.
If the farmer seriously desires all
these good things he must of necessi-
ty help to build them. Let him under
stand that he is one of the main
spokes In the great wheel of COM
MERGE in his vicinity and that he can
ill-afford to send abroad to purchase
even the smallest item of merchan-
disc, though it may seem to him that
he is saving few cents by doing so.
IT seems that it could be easily
pointed out to him that II there was
no town near him and he had to drive
20 or 80 miles to take his produce to
market and haul his groceries the
same distance home he could easily
see that his land would greatly depre-
ciate in value and the disadvantages
he would encounter on every hand
would be very disastrous to his time
and he would gladly spend his money
at home to divert this calamity.
One of the most potent levers with
which to control trade in country To-
calities is the liberal use of printers
ink, coupled with intelligence in adj
vertising the wares of the merchant.
The catalogue houses employ the best
talent obtainable to write their adver-
tisements and spend large sums OF
money in this way. Besides advertis-
ing judiciously they advertise on a
large scale and consequently get the
business. The old saying that You
must fight the devil with fire" will ap-
ply in this case. The home merchant
must advertise He must do more than

Doom of Open Saloon System =
schlitz Saloons conhscated by Re-
ceivers.

Leavenworth, Kan, April 20.
Judge T. F. Carver and Judge S. II.
Allen, supreme court brewery re-
ceivers, took possession of five brick
buildings, said to be owned by the
Schlitz Brewing Company here to-
day. One is large two story ware
house and the other four corner
buildings, all located at good beer
selling points. Three of the build
ings were erected by the brewing
company. The warehouse was left
in charge of John Rehr, the Schlitz
agent, whom. it is said, has pledged
his word not to use it for the stor-
age of stock or in any way in COLI
nection with the handling or sale OF
Eeer. The sheriff has ths keys to
the other four buildings and the sa-
looms in them are closed. The value
OF tfeso FIVE buildings is fully fifty
thousand dollars. The allegation Is
made by the agent that the brewery
does not own them, and litigation
over their possession is likely TO fos-
low.
Hem Gives Up Fight.
No other saloons except the one
owned by the Helm agent and the
four in the Schlitz buildings are clos
ed. 1t is reported that the Helm
Brewing Company has decided to
pull all property out of here ana
spend no money in defense of the
suits in the courts. The Helm agent
closed his place and notified the
county attorney, and no injunction
suit will, be filed against him indl-
vidually. The other beer agents not
included in the companies in the
suits in the supreme court announce
that they will quit Most of them
have removed their stock to Stili'
ingsville. Mo. Some of these agents
have rented buildings in Missouri
and are going to run supply depots
from that point. The two wholesale
liquor houses have removed their
stock and closed up. One will open
In Kansas City and the other quit
business. So far no arrangements
have been made for the starting OF

Doom of Saloon System.
The visit of the receivers caused
the saloon keepers to put up binds
and many of them have their front
doors closed tonight 1t is said that
quite number will quit the first of
the month and that open saloons Will
be thing of the past within anoth-
err week. The pulling out of the beer
agents without fight has been very
depressing on the saloon keepers.
The action of the receivers in go
ing from saloon to saloon in the
downtown district attracted much
attention. Small crowds hung around
the places. There were no hostile
demonstrations of any kind. Even
the saloon keepers took the move
ment good naturally.

Jockey-Pastor Dead.

GREAT HARRINGTON, Mass, June 4.
Rev. Irem w. Smith, one of the best
known Methodist ministers and drivers
of trotting horses in western Massa-
chusetts, is dead at his home in Otis.
Mr.. Smith was great admirer of horses
and his desire to handle them led him
practically to give up his work as a
clergyman and devote his time to his
horses. For many years he drove at
the agricultural fairs and the "minis-
ter's horse usually had place in the
race. The fact that he was Methodist
minister gave added interest to the
race. His name always appeared on
the score card as Rev. l. W. Smith,
and he drove his own horse. Mr..
Smith was II years old and his death
was the result of a shock. He was
born in Franklyn, Penn, and graduated
from Hartford College and Yale Semi
nary. He held pastorates at Brooks
vile, Me-, Durham, Conn.,, and at New
Marlboro. He retired from the minis
try several years ago.

THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN FLAG.


An Address to the American People.
friday. the 14th of June, will be the
we hundred and thirtieth anniversary
g. me birth of the flag of the United
n ,,ot;e The flag was designed for
ina .h or thirteen colonies, stretched
,rAe oelt along the Atlantic coast,
r rnaue up OF less than three millions of
people Without common traditions or
r rans uage; drawn together only by COM
mon Hanger from savageS within and
OPPRESSION from without, which threat
s sneu ehelr existence and liberties. That
to los now waves over great nation, ex-
Iouulhg from the Gulf of Mexico to the
LAKES b; from the Atlantic to beyond the
aaoinc sea: and inhabited by nearly
lilnety millions of people, who speak a
common language.
our flag is now-in form-the oldest
nag OF civilized nations. The resolution
~ congress for the adoption of the
stars and Stripes on June the 14th.
Inn, was as follows: -"Resolved that
me nag OF the United States he thir-
teen STRIPES, alternate red and white:
!hat the Union be thirteen stars, white
IN olue field, representing new con.
stel,atlon. The design Of this flag is
crealted to George Washington, and in
part was taken from his family coat of
arms, Such is the origin of flag dedi-
GATED 10 the proposition that "aIl men
are created free and equal" Let us
honor the natal day of our national flag
-:olspiaylng it from our public build
lngs, schools, and homes in recognition
OF this memorable day.
The men of the Grand Army of the
Kepubllc, who preserved the nation in
the greatest war of modern times and
made vital the Declaration of our faith
ers, call upon all who live under the
flag to recognize this day by patriotic
ooservances in schools and-on the Sun
Gay precedlng-in churches. To this
end we suggest that the Governor of
every State by proclamation announce
the day and promote it's recognition;
that the press scatter this call-as seeds
Of Observation-Disclosures over the land
Such recognition will nourish the great
ness OF our nation, inculcate noble citi-
zenship, the principles of civil liberty,
and be an object lesson to the new gen
erations that have come upon the stage
since the Civil War.

THE CARE OF LIVESTOCK.

Ii the testimony of great numbers of the
readers of The New York Tribune Farmer
is fair basis for the formation of a correct
opinion, then what is known as its Veteri-'
nary Department is everywhere esteemed
highly. 1t is, however, more than veteri-
nary department. DR.. c. D. Smead who
has had charge of it for more than five
years, every week answers very many ques-
tions in regard to every variety of livestock
known on the American farm, not alone
prescribing medicines and treatment, but
telling how the diseases might have been
prevented, and laying down specific rules
for feed and care in health, in sickness and
IN convalescence. Every farmer keeps some
livestock-good veterinarians are scarce
Each inquirer is fully answered, but DR..
Smead goes far beyond this; he believes
that any information which one intelligent
farmer needs is also needed by hundreds
and thousands of others, and he often so
broadens his answer as to make it a COM
plete essay on the subject discussed. A
year or two ago Mr.. B. Walker McKeen of
Fryeburg, Me-, said in a meeting of farmers
that valuable horse had been attack ed
with disease of which he had known
nothing until he had recently read of it in
The New York Tribune Farmer; what DR..
Smead had taught him enabled him to save
his horse. Another farmer arose and said
he had had similar experience. Five or
SIX hundred dollars saved in one town by
one copy of the paper! C. G. Waller, NJ

press my gratitude to you through The
New York Tribune Farmer, and to say that
