Work That Wins,

He who would succeed in any under
taking, must first understand that in
telligently directed work is the only
kind that wins. He who starts out to
accomplish things for his home town
cannot blunder along unless he en-
dangers that which he sets out to do.
Commercial clubs too often fail in &C.
complishing good because of lack of
system in the efforts made. There is
an old saying: TOO many cooks
spoil the BROTH" This axiem is ex-
emplifled frequently by the organiza-
ton which attempts to carry out great
projects without the proper system
for doing the same Work must be
rightly pursued or 1t comes to naught.
Each worker should have his particu-
lar part to perform, and for this part
he should be selected with a view as
to his fitness. Concerted effort right
~ made always wins.

The encroachments of the great mail
order houses of the east on the legiti.

growing daily more threatening to the
prosperity of the town merchant and
through him the towns-people, SAYS
the editor of a country paper. Some.
thing should be done by the merchants
of every town to prevent future opera.

which supply, as general rule, an
inferior article for the egregious price.
1t is business which is like that of
the street fakir A bargain is offered
to the buyer at his first appearance.
He bites and on his second order is
bitten.
Local merchants should teach their
towns-people and the farming element
surrounding them the invidious conse-
quences to the town, to the buyer and
to general business conditions, of
patronizing these establishments. The
local merchant should do this by
judicious advertising in his home pa.

through its columns he can Offer in

ing out only goods which a person
would himself select from a stock Of
goods, the local merchant can kill the
mail order business Of an eastern
speciality house in his territory.
Help your local paper to push trade
for you through articles designed to
wean the farmer away from these mail
order houses, by giving him your pat
ronage. Your local paper cannot af-
ford to set type to boom your business
unless you respond by assisting in the
cost of publication through using its
advertising columns.
