Merit vs.. Prizes.

Premium schemes and prize Offer
ings held out as bait to the people to
get them to use certain brands OF
goods should be very carefully consid-
cred. The most common plan is the
certificate deal, by which Is promised
some article represented to be worth
the total amount paid for goods, if
only a certain number be saved. Com
mon business sense assures that when
such proposition Is made the goods
must be of an inferior quality, or that
there is catch somewhere. Goods OF
merit do not have to carry a prize in
order that they be in demand. People
are quick to buy goods OF merit, par
ticularly in the staple line, If they
know of them. OF the standard brands
Of foodstuffs. Of cigars, OF thread OF
different other things, how many are
giving prizes? This is not the case
with numerous classes Of goods that
are sold with premium attachment.
Most OF them are Of inferior quality
and the price paid for them more than
covers the cost Of the premium given.
1t is the old glimmer Of getting some
thing for nothing, and the women who
want trading stamps, or prize with
their purchases, pay pretty dearly for
their Whistles

UnWise Competition.

There cannot be a doubt but that
competition stimulates trade; but
trade is the natural outgrowth Of CIV
ilization and found It's origin when in
telligent man discovered that he had a
few wants, and that they could be sup
piled by commodities others possessed
and which he did not have himself,
and that be had surplus Of things
that he could trade for articles others
had and which he needed. Thus it can
be seen that want, demand, supply, all
go to make up that which is the life
Of trade. Competition Is merely an
Mdication of mans ambition to ex-
cal his neighbor, to gain more in bar
ter and trade than what would in
ordinary channels come to him. It IS
aerely to seek, to reach out after
tsihgs desired. From the fact that 80
peY cent. of those who engage in the
i-srcantile business fail, it seems
n,nre appropriate to say that competi-
ton, unhealthy and not directed BY
sound Judgment, instead of being the
life Of trade. II one Of Its fatal die.

COMEDY IN THE DRUG STORM
Serious Place Usually, But Funny
Things Happen Occasionally.

mo, l can't say that we have .
large number Of comic incidents hap
pening here daily" said the drug
clerk. CAS- a matter of fact, the drug
business is inclined rather to the Sc
rious side of things naturally, but we
do have funny things happen occa-
sionally, like this morning, when a
little girl came in with prescription
that she said she wanted put up in
hatsues.
IIatsules?' says, sort of puzzled
like, because for the moment | didn't
fall to what the little girl meant.
Eyes, sir, hatsues,' she says, just
like that, and then il began to perco-
late through my brain just what the
little girl did mean and | says to her
then:
"I guess you mean capsules don't
you? and she says:
"'Why, OF course l do. Hatsulesn
she said. and laughed right out as she
said It. OF course | mean capsules!
Vow could ever | get it twisted up
like that
And so we put the medicine up In
capsules and the little girl took 1t
and carried it away.
And really that wasn't the most
comic thing that ever happened in the
world, but, as ! was saying, YOU don't
exactly expect to have funny things
happen In n drug store, and so that
call for hatsules kept us cheerful here

THE OLD HlTcHING POST.
II May Be Useful, but is UnsishtIy and
Generally Town Nuisance,

That good old hitching post. What
familiar object to all Of us who had
the good fortune to be reared near a
country town. Still, while tender
memories hang around the old post.
there is much about it at times worthy
Of condemnation There is nothing
that makes a main street of a small
town look so shabby and thoroughly
countrified and back-woodish as a row
OF rickety old hitching posts on each
side OF the street. Constant tramping
and paving near them makes holes in
TIE ground. unsightly mud-holes in
damp weather and ill-smelling and Of
fensive in numerous respects. 1t may
appear bit of enterprise on the part
of the merchant to erect a number Of
posts in front of his store. but does he
gain business by it? How often do
you see Farmer Shortcrop drive in, tie
his team to the post in front of Smith s
store and go over to Green's to do his
trading? AS long as htching posts are
allowed to occupy places in front Of
stores on main streets it will be i'm
possible to keep the streets in the
neat and good condition that they
should be in. Far better to have on
some unoccupied street within easy
reach of the business sections posts
where the farmers can hitch their
teams. Every town which has the
power to control its own affairs should
make regulations that will keep the
hitching post from "ornamenting" the
main streets.
