Editor Realizes Situation.

1t has come to a time when the
business man must take note of the
mail order concerns. They are n
t~inually growing larger and taking
more trade out of the smaller towns.
OF course we all know that it is not
right for Williamsburg people to send
their money to Chicago or New York
or other places for their groceries,
dry goods, ETC., when we have people,
neighbors and friends s SLING the
same goods right at home.Nj The local
merchant has no one to blame but
himself for the condition which now
exists. This may be a little hard. but
it is true. Many of the focal mer-
chants do not let their old customers,
and prospective new ones, know of
the articles they keep BIT advertising
them. The mail order houses are the
largest and most successful advertis-
ers in the world, and without adver-
Using they could do no business. Now,
if they can afford to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars ia year to keep
their old customers informed and to get
new ones, the local merchant could put
a big 'kink" in the mailorder business
by adopting the same method on e
smaller -scale.-Wilkinsburg (pa-)

Chance for the Youth,

Young men who are residents of
country districts should be impressed
with the fact that there are chances
for every one to get along in the
world if endowed with a good quality
Of brain matter and the desire and
the ability to work, and work rightly
and industriously.
For the young man starting out in
life there are many pitfalls; not the
One in the category of bad habits
and dissipation, but in the business
world. The catchy advertisement in
the want columns of the daily press or
In the farm journal, $40 to $40 a day."
attracts the attention of many of the
young mel who know little about the
devious methods of the sharks to catch
dollars from the pockets of the pro
ducers." Many of these concerns aim
to sell to the agent a lot of goods that
are almost wholly worthless, and let
him fight 1t out the best way possible.
Then again, there are legitimate con-
Germs that employ men to sell to the
trade, but they never hold out prom.
Uses of such great profits.
1t is well to steer clear of gratis
that are intended to take dollars from
your pocket under the pretense of Civ
ing you employment. If you fell that
you could make a success as a sales
man, there are legitimate houses in
your nearest city that may afford you
an opportunity. But don't think that
you can demand the salary Of a bank
president from the start. You will get
what you are worth, and no more.
The more you can make your services
of value to your employers, the more
pay you will receive. Good men are
always in demand. Chances for adj
vancement were never better, but the
field is narrowing rear by year, owing
to change in commercial methods, and
concentration In almost every line.
II you would succeed in commercial
life, get the Idea out Of your head
that getting to the front Is a snap,
and the path a fowery one. Work Is
necessary II you and an honored place
among the winners.

Economy ia Home Trade.

In an address made some years ago
before congress the late Thomas B.
Reed said: which, is it better for
the farmer to do-sgnd his supplies a
thousand miles to the ~seacoast, 5000
miles cross the waiter and sell it to
the mechanic who gets less wages, OF
sell it right here at home to the me
chanic who gets more wages?" Reeds
logic is sound, but he might have gone
a little further, and shown the farmer
how important 1t is|to have the home
market right at his door; how by the
building up of the commercial and
manufacturing Importance OF his
home town, he widdns the market for
his products, and that the livelier
and better the home place can be
made. the better Will be the prices he
will receive for hisI productA

M.iMT!


A collar lining of taffeta should be
cut so that the front part is on the
straight of the material, and the
curved part of the collar will then
come on the bias.
1t is a good plan to bend steels or
whalebones at the waist line when
making "a bodice before putting them
into the castings, rs the bodices will
then fit closer to the figure.
In sewing a piece of material on the
bias to a straight piece the former is
apt to become stretched. To avoid
this the bias should be placed un-
derneath, and it will then be sewn in
evenly.
Always make the neck of a blouse
slightly smaller than the base of the
collar band, and in tacking it into
position it is an excellent plan to cut
a few notches in the blouse so as to
avoid wrinkles when the collar is
finally stitched on.
When altering a blouse it is a mis-
take to move the shoulder seam to the
front. A better plan is to let it drop
backward instead Of forward.

with fear. believing that some caiam

a miracle took place at their home
a few days ago.
The women say they were gathered
about the dinner table and talking Of
their dead mother, Mary E. Ford
when suddenly a loaf of bread on the
table began to rise from the plate and
ascend fully two feet before dropping
back to the plate with a distinct noise
They did not eat any more dinner
In fact, they have net slept since
They declare it was no optical de
fusion, and that they were not tricked
by any one. They are willing to give
the loaf Of bread away. but their
neighbors decline to have anything t.
do with it.

Willowy Back Now
in Fashions Favor

Paper doll days are over with
Dame Fashion. We must have backs,
and they must be things of beauty
that is, for the girl who wants to look
stylish. A year or two ago it was a
matter of choice whether or not one
cultivated the Ethel Barrymore back,
but there is no choice about the new
back. We must get willowy. Women
will all have to become contortionists
if they keep getting new backs or
fronts every year. Some say the cor
sets the thing, but girls who have
tried of laced into some of these
new mo hips affairs say it's all a de-
fusion and a snare. The only way to
get the new back is to grow thin.
This new back goes in sharply at
the waist line and the owner of it
stands so straight that she seems to
be bending over backward. Girls who
have really acquired it say they did
it by walking. One girl never takes a
street car for Il place that she can
reach by walking. incidentally, it
saves carfare. She started by being
tired to death after a one-mile jaunt,
but now she walks ten quite easily.
Strange to say, although she was
rather a fat girl when she started in,
instead of tightening her corsets for
the mo hips effect, she loosened
them. That's so my muscles al get
q chance to work." said she.
The thin girls who have the back al
ready are giving up corsets entirely.
1--WE may as well be comfortable while
1t lasts" say they. The main point is
to hold the chest high, the abdomen in
and the shoulders fat as you walk. A
good exercise to get the new back is
taken on the floor. Lie perfectly fiat
on the back, with the arms extended
directly out at the sides. Then with
out changing the relative position of
the arms try sitting up straight. At
ter you've succeeded in doing it once,
which won't be the first time you try,
get so that you can sit up several
times in succession. This hardens the
muscles of the abdomen and back and
gives the sharp curve at the waist
line, which every up-to-date girl is
working for.
