Within the past year he broke his arm,
and Thursday OF last week while riding
in an automobile with his father the
machine tipped over and when Dwight
was pulled from under the wreck ha had
added broken leg to his other mishsp.

THE ooDowNs OF JAPAN.
Iron Sheathed Warehouses Necessary
Because Of Danger Of Fire.

Fire is one of the terrors that dodge
at the elbow Of the Japanese house
holder all the time. and because he
lives in q matchwood dwelling Sakure-
san has to take a curious precautiOn
against the sudden loss Of all his
household goods. This precautiOn is
the goodwin.
The stranger In Tokyo or Yokohama
who sees from his rickshaw a strange
iron plated building with doors like
turret shutters and pointed roof heavi-
ly incrusted with tiles Is led to be-
lieve that here perhaps Is some feudal
fort of the old time, ready to house
fighting men against the attacks Of
street mob. But when the tourist
finds one Of these black sheeted build
ings on every other block he learns
from the country dweller that these
things are godowns or stOrehOuses for
household goods.
When a fire gets well started in the
crowded blocks of dolls houses in q
Japanese city 1t is rarely stopped un-
til from 10 to so houses have been
consumed and a black scar has been
drawn across the whole face Of the
district. Because the houses are so
flimsy and crowded so closely tOgeth-
er that the Japanese iremen even at
their best can do little with we'll
developed blaze certain astute citizens
erect these iron sheathed and shut
tered two-stOried stOrehOuses. where
In the householders of the neighbOr-
hood and the stOrekeepers Of the dis
trict can store away their valuables.
The godOwns are 20 heavily
sheathed with iron plate and SO
weighted with mud tilee that they
rarely burn. All day long their win
dows are kept almost Theoretically
sealed by heavy swinging shutters
that look like the doors of a safe.
When q fire comes to a certain dis
trict the first thing is to close the
doors of the goodwin and put 1t In
shape to weather the flames.
To these public fireprOOf safes the
householders bring their best furni
ture. their porcelain and their deli
cate prints. The wives keep locked up
there their best kimOnos and their
odds and ends of jewelry. Merchants
have their excess stock slowed away
within them.
Whenever there is a fete In any
Japanese home or preparations are be-
ing made for the entertainment OF
some special guests the servants are
sent to the nearby goodwin to bring
home all the valuables. Pictures are
again hung on the wall, the heavy
bronze vase is restored for the day
to its special tabOuret. and the ward
robe of madame is replenished.
Then with the passing of the special
occasion passes also the household
grandeur All the deeting prettiness
of print and lowered kimOnO is swal

A London writer says the curious
thing about that famous sale was .
difference of opinion between the
greatest painter of his day and all
the rest of the world as to the artistic
value of the picture. Millais did not
think 1t was GainsbOrOugh at all
not because of any technical detail of
execution. but simply because the view
of a woman was not Gainsborough's

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

In the April issue of the Merchants
Trade Journal is All article warning the
owners of the Economy Cream Separator
that they are laying themselves liable to the
law if they even use the machine This
separator has been sold throughout the
length and breadth of the land by Sears
Roebuck & CO. It has been recently adj
judged an infringement upon patent held
by another company. The decision of the
court reaches even the innocent purchaser
OF the separator and DEGREES that he shall
not use the machine he has bought and paid
for. The court also instructs its represent
alive to obtain the names of every purchas-
err of this separator from Sears Roebuck,
and ascertain the price paid for it.
1t is to be regretted that SO many inno-
cent purchasers are to be Inconvenience
They are not to blame, as they did not know
the separator was an infringement upon
patent.
There is a lesson worth remembering in
the incident however. If the purchaser
had favored his local merchant with his or
der for cream separator he would have
been absolutely safe, and protected from
any such trouble The chances are that he
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1908-04-10

would have been able to get as good or even
better machine, for the same or even less
money, if he had taken it up with his local
merchant Local dealers these days are
able to meet the competition Of any mail
order house on any article. The factories
from which they buy must make them
prices that will meet such competition.
The attractive advertising matter sent out
by the large mail order houses often sounds
most alluring to the reader, and he is lead
to believe that he is saving money by send
ing away for his goods. However, if he
would take the article he gets from the
mail order house, he would soon find that
he could do equally we'll right with his
home merchant.
Even if few articles advertised as
leaders are sold at price the local merch.
ant cannot meet, he should have the pat
ronage. It is his money paid in taxes, ever
occurring donations to worthy causes, and
public movements that keeps the commun
ity aliye and growing. The mail order
house does not help build schools, churches
water systems or assist in the improvement
of streets or roads Every person who
sends away for articles they could as wei
purchase at home does little bit TOWARD
retarding the growth and development o
the community in which he lives.

THE TROUBLE MAKERS.

In this issue appears cOmmuni cation
from j. W. Arnold. local harness dealer, in
which he denies a report that has been cir
culated to the effect that he put coal oil in
his harness oil. TO the fair thinking people
of the community such denial is unneces-
sary. Mr.. Arnold has been in business
here long time and he expects to remain
in business. The stability of his business
depends upon the good character of his
work. When the farmer takes his harness
to "a local dealer, who wishes to retain his
trade he may rest assured he will get the
best work that can be turned out. Such
malicious reports as these are bad for any
community in that they cause dissention
and bad blood among home merchants who
should stand together and work for the up
building of the community. The people
who start such reports are but trouble
makers and should be promptly branded as
such by the people to whom they confide
their trouble making information. 1t is the
trouble makers and not the people whom
they claim were injured that is making the
complaint in question. No one who has
had horses scaded by poorly oiled harness
es has made any complaint in public or pli-
vate. There is too much dissention among
the merchants of Montpelier already with
out outside trouble makers starting false
reports to stir up feeling t1at need not
exist.

THE REWARD is COMING.

There is no good movement that does
not bring forth its reward. The people of
Montpelier when they took up the work of
improving their school system and bringing
it up to a high standard, were probably
prompted entirely by motives of pride.
They wanted their children to have school
advantages equal to those offered by any
town in the state. They have contributed
to this work willingly, and have felt great
" rewarded in the feeling that Montpelier
is to boast of schools equal to any in the
state.
Developments of the past few weeks
show that their reward is to be greater
than they expected. The world outside
has heard of her efforts The high stand
ard of her schools has become known and
residents of surrounding communities have
decided that they will take advantage of
them. piece of property sold in Mont
peIier last week, SO the report comes, was
purchased solely because the people wished
to avail themselves of the excellent school
advantages offered in Montpelier. Report
also states that d large number of people
are contemplating the same thing
This is but the beginning. But it is
great encouragement, The people can now
see that it is not all matter of pride, but
also "a matter of dollars and cents. No
movement can be carried ON that will make
town SO inviting as residence town, as
the perfecting Of the public schools. Resi-
dents of all the surrounding communities,
as soon as they are in such circumstances
as they feel they can afford it, want to give
their children the advantage of u good edu-
cation. How much better for them if they
can get all they want in Montpelier and do
not have to go away from their business
interests.
Every new resident who comes here to
take advantage of the schools adds a little
to the value of Montpelier property.
1t is the demand for property that
makes it's price. Every new purchaser for
Montpelier property increased the demand
to some extent. As soon as it has become
thoroughly known over the length and
breadth of the territory tributary to Mont
pelier in business interests, that the schools
of Montpelier are as good as can be found
anywhere, the number of new residents who
come here solely because they wish to avail
themselves Of the advantages offered will
be surprising. It is a reward worth work
ing for, and those who have led the move
ment for good schools are to be congratu-
lated. Their work is but started but the
spirit is still the same. It will be carried
on and our public school system will be one
of the factors that works constantly for the
greater Montpelier.
