the Village of Ostrander.

Delaware, O.-At Ostrander burglars
entered the post office, two business
houses and a residence and secured
merchandise worth several hundred
dollars. Very little money was Sc
cured in the post Office, but the safe
was broken open and a quantity OF
stamps were taken. The hardware
store of Manville & Winston was en-
tered and a quantity of hardware Ia
ken; also, money from the cash reg
lister at E. B. Beans general store. AT
the residence of Bean a money sack
containing $50 was taken. Blood

HURT HOME TRADE
W1AT GREEDY, sHoRT-sIeHTEo
PEOPLE DO.
WAYS THAT KILL CUSTOM
Fair Treatment by Tradesmen Assists
in Building Up Towns and In
creases Business for
All

One of the troubles in small towns
seems to be that petty jealousies keep
the business mer from working in har-
mony. There 10 just so much business
to be had, and it either goes to the
home stores, the mail order houses,
the department stores or some near
by city, or perhaps is let go TO
more progressive neighboring town
1t should be the aim of every town
to make its trade territory as large
as possible. 1t is the attitude of the
business men that counts. One good,
live man in business in q small town
is a benefit to the whole place. lie
brings trade to all. People are
swayed to and fro by opinions that are
formed sometimes without careful
reasoning. 1t is the best policy to
treat each and every one fairly and
! honestly.
Let the average farmer think that
lie has been given the worst end ot
bargain, and he will ponder over the
matter for years. 1t is not a good
idea for a merchant to have scale
of prices for different customers.
Charge John Jones $12 for suit III
clothes, and sell the same suit to MS
neighbor, Jim Smith, for S11, and
Jones will find it out and feel that he
has been treated unfairly, and Jones
is right about it, too. There is one
town, a county seat, in a western
state, a place Of nearly 5000 popula,
ton. It's trade territory eXt$nds fer
a dozen miles in each directi>n. The
country has a large foreign popul&
ton. They are the best classes CT
customers, liberal buyers and moi
quibblers over prices. Still, they de
sire Just treatment. A few years age
thousands of dollars in trade was di
verted from the town through a dcai

later the farmer was at town where
there were but two stores and an eie

few days later, called on the ma
from whom he purchased his implt
ments and again asked the price Q
the harrow, and was told the sam
as before. He then stated that tn
same make and kind of harrow ha
been offered him for $3.50 less. Afte
some talk he was told that he coul
have the piece of machinery for tn
same price. He did not take it, br
secured the one offered him by tn
man in the smaller town. He did M
like the style of the dealer in tn
larger town In fact, he conclude
that the other storekeepers of tt
place were of the same caliber. II

TO ABOLISH SERVICE BOARDS

House.

Columbus, O.-The federal pla1 OF
municipal government was indorsed
by the house of representatives when
it passed the Paine bill by decisive
vote.
Democrats and republicans alike
supported it and opposed it. 1t passed
by a vote of 81 to %. And that was
not real test either, because a goodly
number of the members took to the
woods rather than go on record on the
matter. The bill is the same as the
one introduced at the last session and
smothered.
II abolishes boards of public service
and boards of public safety in cities
and substitutes a director of public
service and director of public safety.

II had one split bamboo rod for

Giv;nu Bonuses.

The giving of bonus to gain trade
is prima facie evidence that the deal
er is selling goods at price which af-
fords the giving away Of a portion Of
his profits. Would it not be better
to reduce the price, and with the saw
ing to the customer he could buy what
ever he wants? But the people want
something for nothing. and think that
they are getting it when they pay
ten or fifteen per cent moro than they
should for goods, and in recognition
of their deals receive a coSpon or
ticket for some article valued at
about half the extra money they paid
the dealer. AS long as people figure
this way, it seems that their wants
must be satisfied.
