Senators Much Alike,

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If 1t were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

business must be kept up and in order
to do this 1t is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out OF
the struggle for existence among the
country people.
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller Of these
articles when he wants anything in
the merchants line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should be
seen and arrangements made for the
purchase of the article, IL he does not
carry 1t in stock.
The home merchant advertlses or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper because
1t gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements Of the merchants are
read by them. If the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can
not afford to advertise, and without
advertising paper will soon prove
failure. Soon the home paper Is sent
to the wall for the want OF support
from the merchants; 1t may have a
large circulation, but without the mer'
chants help it will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant is next to
get out of business for the want OF
support, and the town will decrease in
population, and the people will won.

The home merchant contributes to

that they are in reality paying more
for an inferior grade of goods thar
those sold by the home merchant
which probably cost them few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations in the United States
all kinds Of schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol.
lar of the country people, and they
have been so far successful, at the
great expense of the home town of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun.
try people at ten or Is cents year.
They build up a circulation on this
low price of hundreds Of thousands;
this circulation brings to them mil
lions Of dollars In advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for advertising is more than
doubled from the sales of these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came Is the cheapest place in the
country to buy, and it is, if the person
receiving this catalogue wants cheap
article, not only in price, but also in
make and material. The farmer re-
ceives this catalogue, looks 1t over,
and after reading the well composed
guarantee or assurance that the goods
described In 1t are the very best that
can be found anywhere, sends in an
order. The house receives the order
and Immediately ships the articles
wanted. The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box is
opened It is found to contain some
thing much below his expectations,
but this does not satisfy his mind on
the fact that he has been duped and
that he is not getting his full money
value. In second order he may be
treated the same as the first one, but
still he may think that he has saved
money by buying it where he could
get it cheap.
At the same time the merchant at
home has the goods on the shelf in
his store waiting for them to be taken
away so that he can replace them with
newer goods, thereby keeping his
stock fresh and up-to-date. If he has
pot the article wanted he can order II

to the interests of the people.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer.

ever ready to go to sell their farm

these entertainments unless he has

Home trading makes home indus

keeps them there, and it helps to build
up the place. But the town will be at
a stand-still so long as the people per-
sist in this way of robbing the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
If the people will keep their money

their neighbor that business is good.
and it will be, as long as the people

toward the betterment of the COM
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and see to 1t
that 1t is put where it is most needed
and wanted.
This should be vital question to
all concerned in the welfare Of his
community and it should be an estab-
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can
get at home.
