POOR GOODS, CHEAP PREMIUMS.
How Money is Sometimes Squandered

The economical housewife Is q

pennies and dimes can greatly assist
her husband in accommodating money
for S during days OF adversely.
Quite often women through their anx-
iety to assist in saving, and not having
a training along business lines. make
foolish expenditures. How often do
we find women in the country towns
and districts engaged in buying soaps,
spices, teas and coffees from some
club-order concern with a view of get
ting cheap premiums that are offer
ed with each lot Of goods? There is
no economy in this method. Women
as we'll as men should remember that
there is never anything of value given
without In equitable compensation,
and when purchased on the club plan
the profits paid are generally enor-
nous. You cannot get something for
nothing. If you desire to purchase
place to buy them is at some re.
sponsible grocery establishment in
your own town. You can see what
you are getting. and you know that the
goods must be good or you can re-
turn Them When you get a premium
with a lot of soaps or spices or e
tracts, you will find that while the
goods may appear all right, there is a
great chance of fraud that you little
look for. The bars of soap will be
of light weight, poorly dried, made of
cheaper materials, and would be dear
at your home store at half the price
that you are compelled to pay for
them. The spices will be half ground
bark, and the extracts synthetic, never
made from fruit ~flavors, but out of the
dirty-looking coal-tar, a by-product Of
gas-manufacturing, and even the teas
and coffees will be of the poorest kline
and doctored up to look well. TheI

that was where he hit the nail square
ly on the head.
Day after day went by, but she did
not come again; and as the city editor
went to and fro in the street or on
the trolley cars, it annoyed him to
find himself peering a%nxiously into
the face of every young woman who
wore a big black hat. On more than
one occasion he had chased after
silk shirt waists that bore some gen.
eral resemblance to his hazy idea of
what hers might have looked like, only
to discover that they were not the
one which he sought. What impelled
him to this search, or what would
have been the result had he found
her, he could not explain, eve to him.

FOR THE HOME TOWN..

Be a booster for your home town.
BY patronizing other than local insti-
buttons you are using a boomerang
that is likely to fly back and do you
injury when you least expect it. No
one can be an ideal citizen and talk
and work against the interests of his
home town. So long as you are a resi-
dent of a community, do your part
towards assisting it to greater
progress.

Those who are opposed to the evils
of capital concentration, the building
UP of trusts that work against the in
terests of the masses, should consider
the fact that any and every system
of business that depletes a section of
the country of the wealth it produces
strengthens the system of business
and financial concentration. One OF
the most baneful systems that at the
present is working against the inter-
ests Of the smaller cities and towns,
and Is the greatest medium of drain
ing wealth from agricultural communi-
ties, is the mail-order plan OF doing
business. From some rural towns
from 40 to so per cent. of the trade
goes to foreign Ger If this trade
were confined to the home town, its
business would be doubled, employ
ment given to twice as many people;
the profits accruing from mercantile
business would seek local investment,
and within a few years the population
of the town would be 0 than dou-
bled, and all living within the district
would be benefited.

Every kind and class of goods have
a real value, and this value is based
upon the cost Of the raw material, the
price of the labor in producing it, and
the cost of distribution. Whenever
there are big bargains offered in any

be careful and see that you are not
getting an inferior article.

While the farmer may receive a
dozen papers from the large cities, he
invariably reads his local paper. 1t
is to the interest of the farmer as well
as the merchant that the latter use
it's columns freely to tell of the latest

The farmer wants to buy, and the
merchants want to sell, and the farm
err will buy when and where he can
save money. The merchant who let's

through lack of advertising rightly is
not a very enterprising business man.

I HOW THE NATIONAL
FORESTS SERVE US

"The Use of the National Forests, "
a publication just printed by the de-
partment of agriculture, is a brief
clear manual for public Information
as to the forest policy of the national
government.
1t is too true, as the short preface
to the public says, that "many peo-
pie do not know what national for
ests are. Others may have heard
much about them, but have no idea
of their true purpose and use" 1t
is the object of this publication to
explain just what the national for
ests mean, what they are for and how
, to use them.
In the first place it is explained
how the forests are created and how
their boundaries are drawn. Next
their direct use and value are shown
from the point of view of the home
| seeker, the prospector and miner, the
user of timber. the user of the range,
the user of water, and other users of
forests resources. Third, 1t is shown
how the forests are intended for use
for the production of usable products,
and for the establishment and main
tenance of homes; how on all of them
the timber is protected from fire, the
water flow is kept steady, the forage
on the range is Increased and guard
ed from abuse; and how, in addition,
they serve as great public play
grounds and as breeding places and
Eefuges for game. Finally, the man
agement of the national forests is
described.
Here it is that the great usefulness
of the forests is brought out most
clearly and strikingly; for the forests
are managed by the people in their
own interests. and every means is
used to meet the desires and wants
of all forest users half way by dealing
with them in the main directly on the
ground and in all cases with the ut
most practicable dispatch and free
dom from red tape
In a word. the special interest of
this manual lies In its showing that
the forest policy of the government,
both in principle and in practice, is
for the benefit of the ordinary man.
for the benefit of every citizen equal
ly. There Is still tendency to think
of the national forests as preserves"
closed to use, and to leave the pub
lie lands exposed to unregulated in
dividual exploitation. Where these
misapprehensions still prevail "The
Use of the National Forests" will go
far to correct them
The book is written by Mr.. Freder-
iclt E. Olmsted. whose intimate
knowledge of conditions in the west
and the policy under which the ma
tional forests are managed especially
fits him to deal with the subject.

HAS TRAVELLED FAR

w. r. Johnson, who is now in this
country and in this city visiting
friends and relatives, from his home
at lloilo, has had some very strange
experiences since leaving the Grand
valley many years ago. Mr.. Johnson
returned via the Suez canal and the
Atlantic and has now circumnavigat-
ed the globe several times. He lik-
es the Philippines, and will in all
probability remain there for some
time, having some considerable bust
ness interests on the islands. Mr.
Johnson first went to the east, when
his brother Anson Burlingame John
son, occupied the position of consul
at Annoy, China and he then after
wards went to the Philippines. He is
at present visiting his sister, Mrs. J.
ID. Reeder, at Palisades and his bro
ther Russell johnson, of Clifton. He
has been the guest also of j. V. A.

THE BIG CIRCUS.
A Great Menageric is Carried by the
Sells-Floto Shows TO be Seen
Here Wednesday.

The Sells-Floto shows carry large
amount of live stock. Horses num-
bering 800 have to be cared for ev-
cry day. 1t takes tons of provender
to feed these horses and the menage-
rie.
The animals of the menagerie are
generally of the most interest. The
hardest and longest lived and most
intelligent is said to be the elephant.
Some of the largest of this show are
used to push the heavy wagons and
carts about the "1ot" when the show
is setting up. One morning an ele-
phant became enraged at his driver
and wheeled quickly and struck at
the man with his trunk. The beady
eys of the animal glistened as he
trumpeted his anger. The keeper
lashed the big brute with his whip
and subdued him without any dam
age being done. Had the man been
hit by the blow it would have killed
him When an elephant gets so bad
that he is dangerous, the owners have
the animal killed, and a substitute
takes his place, although the killing
of an elephant means a loss of sew
eral thousand dollars.
The most delicate animal is the
giraffe. They take cold easily and
often die of hasty consumption. Seals
are hardy, but they are difficult to
train. Probably the hardest animal
to train is the wild African zebra.
They will not give up to man. They
