War Correspondent Dunn's Views
The WEIGH CAR


all those eight hoursI And, as he says he
had no motor trouble. no transmission
trouble. and no tire troubie," l am forced
to the conclusion that he either fell asleep
on the road or played few games OF
pinochle with his chauffeur In the mean
time. He surely would not have Us be-
lieve that ne spent three and a halt hours
in the middle Of the day trying to find
the nearest way TO the Hubi
MIR. KclseY's ideas Of arithmetic are
both original and striking. He concerns
himself only with elapsed time" and
quietly ignores actual RUNNING time.
He has, seemingly, succeeded IN convine-
ing himself that his twelve and a half
hours of actual running time from here
to Boston on improved roads was tar
more Of record performance than that
Of the Weleh Car In nine hours. He ad-
mits he had no trouble whatever, and
consequently makes no allowance for an
accident that might have been fatal to
all occupants Of the Weleh Car instead
OF merely causing II two hours delay.
He claims TO have done the trip in the
shortest elapsed time. yet proves by his
own figures that HIS speed at no part OF
that run ever approached that OF the
Weleh Car. The worst enemies OF the
Weleh Car-and aft superior things have
enemies-wou1d never think Of taxing
the Weleh or its driver with the two hours
lost In a very serious and entirely unpre-
ventable accident, but. In the effort to
prove himself an amateur enthusiast, Mr..

fisIirer and 4 decidedly amateur sport"

request that Mr.. Perlman continued on
to finish the run, because l wanted him
to do what ne easily did-beat every
other car that tried the same run.
II was Mr. Perlman's desire to abandon
the run altogether and take me to a local
hospital, but though In exeruciating pain
l insisted that he continue on to Boston
as soon as the foil extent OF the accident to
myself and the Weleh Car could be ascer-
tanned. Though the tonneau was broken
by the force Of the collision, when Mr..
Perlman found that his engine was intact
ne continued the Journey, yielding at last
to my opportunities. So we finished the
trip and went to the hospital In Boston
with a broken knee cap conscious IN my
suffering that we had broken all Winter
records to Boston from New York. Mr..

Mr. Kelsey concludes his Adventures"
by stating that outside Of gasoline. oil
and hot air. the expense of his trip
amounted to lost five cents. Considering
the result Of the trip, think It was lavish
expenditure. In fact, Il wasn't worth half
the outlay, and something ought to have
been laid out In crackers and cheese for

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 a second order he may be
treated the same as the first one, but
still he may think that he has saved
money by buying 1t 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
not the article wanted he can order 1t
from the wholesaler or manufacturer
and it will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
as if it had been ordered from cata-
logue house The home merchants
business must be kept UP and in order
to do this it Is absolutely niece ssary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out of
Che struggle for existence amcng 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, If he does net
carry it in stock.
The home merchant advertises 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 a paper will soon prove
failure. Soon the home paper is sent
to the wall for the want Of support
from the merchants; it may have
large circulation, but without the mer'
chants help 1t 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

editor and tho merchant leave town

together.
The home merchant contributes tc
the support of the church, he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up, he
contributes to the horse show, the fall
festival and the hundred and one
things that he is supposed to help out
and give his support to. He Is at the
head of the list for everything that is
for the good OF the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty CO
operation of all the people, all the
time, that are interested In the well
fare of the community in which they
live. The merchant helps to elect the
men that are to represent them in the
city, county, state and national af-
fairs, and he is ever on the go looking
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-
chants of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support of the people and 1t is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for livelihood, when the peo-
pie send their money to concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any of these enterprises
or take an interest In the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indus
tries, brings more to the town and
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-
slst 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
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, it will take on metropuli-
tann look. and. the people will. say to

that they are in@reality, paying more
for an inferior grade of goods than
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 buv and II is IL the nersOn

ceives this catalogue, looks it over,
and after reading the well composed
guarantee or assurance that the goods
described in it are the very best that

order. The house receives the order

miles to get them and. when the, box is

HOME MERCHANTS
GOOD REASONS WHY THEY DE-
SERVE YOUR SUPPORT.
MEANS MUCH TO COMMUNITY
He Is at the Head OF the Things
That Are Good for tho
Town and Your
self.

Copyright. by Alfred c. Clarl)
The above head is a subject that
can we'll be treated as open for dis
cussion and consideration at any and
all times. 1t is also a subject that
should interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare of the community
In which he lives and who wishes to
see It grow and prosper
No person can afford to do what he
knows will work an injury to the COM
munity In which he lives. In justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port to the home industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
of the town in which he goes to do his
trading.
In considering this question it
should be borne In mind that the coun-
try people, like all other American
citizens, are always on the lookout for
place to invest their money that
will bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure; in this they
are right and are justified in so doing,
but, at the same time they should re-
member that they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
they send to foreign markets.
If they should stop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated,
and l2ok into, and know, the true con-
dition of affairs, probably they would
reconsider the stand they had taken
toward them. In many cases the peo-
pie are ignorant of the true surround
ings and inside operations of these
concerns and think they are doing
right in sending them their money.
They are led to believe that what they
get from the catalogue house is the
same article that the home merchant
sells, only at much lower price. The
majority of the people do not know
that they are buying the cheapest
article that can be manufactured and

"Helpmeet" has had a curious his
tory which began with the biblical
account of the creation, when the
Lord God said, 1t is not good that
the man should be alone; Will make
him an help meet for him" That is
to say, fit assistant. But. the two
words hove become curiously combin-
ed into 'helpmeet," and they are
constantly used as one. Moreover,
the confusion is increased by the cor
ruption of the words into "help-mate, .

woman, who was generally consider
ed as the most suitable help mate for
parson."

their neighbor that business is good,
and it will be, as long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar
kets. The least that person can do
toward the betterment of the com
munity and his own interests, Is to
keep the money at home and see to It
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.

A Labor Day "Reminiscences.

JOS T. Atwood, 39th ILL.,, Austin Sta
ton. Chicago, had his memory stirred
by seeing the notice of the death of Gen.
Simmons in The National Tribune. He
was a splendid man and soldier, and
Comrade Atwoods last memory of him
was when he appeared as Marshal of a
Labor Day parade in Chicago several
years ago. The parade was an immense
affair, and Comrade Atwood was one Of
nine old soldiers who took part in it.
One carried the flag that he had car
ried in the war from 1861 to 1865. When
the procession was forming he asked
Gen. Simmons where they should take
their place. He looked down upon them
and said, Tho you number only niHe,
there is but one place for the veterans
to march, and that is at the right of
the line" They were not in uniform.
but Gen. Simmons said that that did
not matter, they must take their places
on the right, which they did, and car
ried their flag bravely thru the march.
Comrade Atwood thinks that he is the
only survivor of that squad.
