Need Of Lessons In ECONOMY.

A number of state agricultural de.
partments have inaugurated series
of farmers institutes. At these meet
.ings, the science Of agriculture in its
various phases is ably discussed by
able authorities. 1t appears that it
would be advantageous to take up
other matters relative to farm life, as
well as merely the science of farming
Lessons in simple economy could be
given to farmers and their wives, par
ticularly along the lines of country
development, of the essentials in
building up the country and protec-
tion of local industries. This field
alone offers a wide latitude for ener-
getic work. The farmer should under
stand principles upon which commerce
is based, as well as being versed in
the growing of produce, which is the
basis OF commerce.

Fraunces' Tavern, Restored.

roof indicating the top of the walls
and the slope and height of the roof
were found in the walls. The differ
ence in the bricks in the walls also
helped to determine what portion was
old and what modern. 1t will be OBJ
served that the wall fronting on Broad
street is of thin yellow bricks. These
are the same kind as are found in the
old Dutch church in Tarrytown. In
order to secure an additional supply
to fill up the opening on the first floor
they had to be made to order in
yard in Holland where bricks of the
same size and kind are still made. The
bricks on the Pearl street side are red.
AS they are an inch longer and some
what thinner than the bricks made
to-day 1t was only by searching
through many yards, tape measure in
hand, and picking up abnormal bricks
that enough could be secured to piece
out" the original wall BY such means
the old building was put back into q
shape that would probably be recog.
nized by "Black Sam" Fraunces If he
should appear to-day.
The property, which is now used
as the headquarters of the Sons of the
Revolution in New York, represents
an expenditure of nearly $150,OO0, the
restoration alone having cost nearly
100000. 1t Is looked upon as me-
mortal of Frederick s. Tallmadge, who
was the president Of the society, and
bequeathed to 1t sum sufficient to
pay the cost Of restoration. The tab
let on the outside Of the building
commentaries his name and contains
his portrait, as well as history Of
the building.

Parable of the Foolish Citizen.

Once there was a good man who
labored hard on the farm, and on
each Sunday went religiously to
church. In time he gained sufficient
wealth to move into a nearby town,
where all his children were afforded a
chance for acquiring an education.
For all his supplies he sent to a dis
tant city. He opposed every PROPOSE
tion to pave the streets of the place,
to improve the very schools his chill
dren attended, and when the assessor
visited him he was verify pauper
for taxation purposes. This man was
highly moral man, a pillar in the
church, and even worked soap-club
deal in order to secure for the Sun
day school an organ. At last he died.
1t is recorded that he entered the
pearly gates for which he long hoped
and prayed. The streets were golden,
and there was beauty on every side.
He marveled; became enraptured
with all he saw. To some angels
standing by he spoke: This place
must have cost pile of money!"
Yes" replied one of the white-winged
attendants, "but it has been paid for
below. Each one coming here must
help bear the burden of taxes" Just
then saintly-looking man approached
with book, and the new arrival from
the farm took one look at him, and
believing him to be the assessor, bolt
ed out through the gate-and then
woke up.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Patronage of Home Stores Depends
Much Upon the Merchants.

How often do merchants complain
about the farmers and others sending
to distant places for goods, while at
by the merchants to send their pro-
duce to some other place while the
merchants ship in the same class of
products that the farmers are send
ing out?
In the home patronage matter there
is nothing so wholesome as reci-
procity. Do the merchants always
give preference to homegrown pota-
toes, to the products supplied by the
local hens, to the output of the local
creameries? Do the merchants al
ways show a good example by patron
izing their brother tradesmen? Or
do they at times send to the city for
the clothes they wear; the piano for
their daughter, the wagon they use
in delivering goods, ETC.?
There are lot of narrow-minded,
short-sighted men in the mercantile
business as well as on the farms.
There Is lot of selfishness in the
average of humanity, and this mani
tests itself now and then in censur-
ing others for doing that which we
feel justified in doing ourselves.
Many merchants seem to think that
there is only one side to the home
patronage proposition; that it is the
duty of the farmer to buy everything
at home regardless of whether the
merchant buys his -four from the
home mill, or whether he sends away
for the potatoes which he sells, in
stead of buying them from the local
| farmers.
Then, again, merchants are as blind
| now and then to their own interests
as are the farmers. The merchant
seeks to squeeze the last cent of
| profit from the farmer and thereby
| loses trade, as we'll as the farmer
| trying to save a few niggardly pen
nies and getting "bit" by the distant

ing dead cinch" game is forever
bowling. The home patronage matter
is mainly up to the merchants OF
the small towns. People resid
ing in the country are pretty fair
minded. They want decent treat
ment. They like consistency. They
will even pay the live, reliable, honest
merchant a higher price for goods
than they will the distant mail-order
concern or the surething department
store, or the scalliwag merchant who
is always out to beat somebody out OF
few cents.

How MonopolIes Are Assisted.

During the past few months, mail
order houses located in the large
cities have been making more than
ordinary efforts to gain trade. These
efforts have been stimulated by the
panicky times. Residents of agricul-
tural communities should understand
that concentration of money in large
financial centers was the main cause
of bringing on the financial depression.
They should also understand that the
mail order system is one of the most
potent factors in this concentration;
that this system draws the life-blood.
