Impudence of Hol 2oIIol.

A noted English artist was standing
at the edge of the road, waiting for his
horse, and he was dressed in his
usual peculiar -mustard-colored
riding suit, vivid waistcoat and bright
red tie. A man, who had evidently
been reveling, happened to lurch
round the corner of the street. He
stared at the famous artist for a min
ute in silence, then he touched his cap
and asked in tone of deep commiser-
alton, beg pardon, guv'nor, was you
in mournin' for anybody"

Each child was allowed to select his

came to the son of prominent poll
tician.
(which chicky will you have, Ber

''If you please, Mrs. H., think I'll
take the mamma hen," was the polite
reply.-Lippincott's

That an article may be good as well
as cheap, and give entire satisfaction,
is proven by the extraordinary sale of
Defiance Starch, each package con-
tanning one-third more Starch than
can be had of any other brand for the
same money.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-08-31

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much mere thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

Why Farmer Should GiUe
His Support to the
Local Merchant.
PRESERVES HIS own MARKET
Depreciation Of Village Property
Must Inevitably Mean DeprecIa-
tion Of Agricultural Property
and Encouragement Of
Monopoly

Copyright, 1906. by Alfred c. clark.)
The most serious problem that con
fronts the rural towns and villages
Of this country is the competition Of
fered local enterprises by the cata-
logue houses Of the large cities. 1t is
problem for which solution must
be found if the prosperity and sta
billty Of the nation is to stand.
And the solution Of this great prob
lem lies in the hanf OF the people of
the towns and villages and the farms,
especially the farms.
The people Of the rural communities
have everything to lose and nothing
to gain by sending their money to
the catalogue houses. by passing by
their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
absolutely no interest in their com.
nunities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not build side
walks in your town: the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building Of roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1907-03-02

They do not help to build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do not assist in
the support of your churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata
logue houses do for you and the
first and greatest of these is TO assist
materially in bankrupting your com
munity The dollars they take away
never come back 10 you They will
never help to make city Of your VIII
lage. They will never increase the
value Of your real-estate holdings by
making local Improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer. for it is the
farmer who is the greatest patron of
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one, two or
three miles from his home is his mar
ket for the butter and eggs and other
produce Of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share Of the
business of the community, maintain
a competition that affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products of his farm. 1t is these half
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are in no
way due to the catalogue houses of
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars to the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set OF harness, or a pair
OF stockings. or any OF the necessities
or luxuries of life, and to get them he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the well written description, and, pass
ing the local merchant by, the mer-
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer-
chant who has helped tc build the
community he sends his dollars to
the catalogue house in the city and
takes what they choose to send him.
What is the result?
One after another the doors of the
local stores are closed, and where ait
one time there were half dozen mer-
chants, each bidding for his share of
patronage by Offering fair prices for
that which the farmer had to sell,
there is now but one merchant who
has a monopoly, not only Of the sell
ing, but Of the buying as well, and he
pays what he pleases for the farmers
produce.
da.e farmer can continue to send his
money to the catalogue house in the
city for his supplies, but he cannot
send his produce to the same place.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1907-03-02

In disposing of that he ls absolutely
dependent upon his local merchant
and by his patronage OF the catalogue
houses he has killed competition, and
must now take whatever is offered for
what he has to SELL
Mr. Farmer. are you helping to kin
the goose that is laying your golden
egg?
Are you sending your dollars to the
catalogue houses and by so doing kill
ing the local industries of your town?
Are you putting your merchants out
Of business, and creating a monopoly
that will pay you what it pleases for
the products Of your farm?
If you are doing these things 1t is
time for you to stop and consider the
future You will have to look but
little way ahead to see the result, and
it will not be an attractive picture that
greets you, The prosperous COM
munity of which you are now part
will fade like the summer flowers be-
fore the winter winds, and almost as
quickly
It is the fact that there is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable The
men who maintain this local market
for you are the men who cause the
railroad trains to stop at your town.
Take them away and soon the town
will be wiped off the map. The
churches will close for lack of support.
The schools will cease to be a pride,
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right
Of birth, and your acres, that are now
valuable because they lie in close
proximity to market, will show a
depreciation that will astonish you.
Your interests are identical with
those Of the merchants of your town.
BY sending your dollars to the city
you may cause the merchants to close
their establishments, but when they
are forced to this they can pack their

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional re medIes. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When this tube
gets in6amed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh cure. Send

For, though 1t be frayed and dingy
And worn on a shabby dress,

A charm you may never guess.
So wear 1t with pride, dear woman,

Glad to show,
Wherever you go,
You are standing for God and right.

The vows OF our worldwide band
To carry loves glad evangel

Means all that God and woman
Can do for the human race.
Then let it shine out, dear women,
Our beautiful ribbon white,
For you cannot know,
As you come and go,
What soul may need its light.
1t speaks OF hope to the hopeless,
1t tells of purpose high,
For God and home and country,
To live and do and die.

Of day we long to see,
