The following letter has been re.
ceived from a man who knows:

Missouri Trust Co. Bldg, St.
Louis, Mo-, May 4, 1908.
John L. Bruce, Esq, Santa Ma
ria, Texas.
Dear Sir: l arrived safely after
my very pleasant visit with you
through the Rio Grande valley of
Texas. AS you know, 1 have for
years been farming on a large
scale some of the finest land in the
State of Missouri, and am familiar
with farm conditions in Missouri
and Illinois.
am ready to say that land in
these two states worth from 500
to $50 per acre is not farmed any
series of years at over a net profit
of $40 per acre a year. saw in
the Rio Grande valley land that
was bought at from $50 to SIS per
acre that was being farmed at from
500 to $500 per acre profit per
year. / saw men realizing $3.50
per acre net on sorghum and al
falfa; $500 on onions. $500 onNce1-
cry. 1t is country that will pro-
duce in surprising abundance the
fruits of California, the sugarcane
of Louisiana, together with corn,
cotton, sorghum, alfalfa and every
on earth.
I felt enough interested to buy
several hundred acres of land in
this county.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT H. KERN.

California, Louisiana, Colorado,
Virginia, New York-and all the
other forty-six, are not in the class
of Grand Young Texas when agri-
culture is the basis of comparison.
Thousands of people are toilirg
with rocks and weeds, and poor
land for which they pay a high
price or large rental, and from
which they receive only a bare
fraction of the value of the land in
the annual net profit. When you
can raise $500 crops on $50 land
what is the use or reason for stay
ing in locality where you can't
raise $50 crop on 500 land?
Senility has overtaken the ma
jority of our sister states, and
their residents should pack up and
come to this land of ours where
almost every good thing under the
sun can be grown, and health,
happiness and wealth are the gifts
of the climate and soil.

Is Mrs. Guinness dead or is she
still alive? Many timid people

sure she were not-still alive.

Shopping by Mail.

Everybody knows about the cata-
loguc houses and other big establish
ments which advertise to do a mail
order business. The theory upon
which they proceed is to pick out a
few articles Of common consumption
and sell them at wholesale prices
perhaps, or even less. IF a popular
copyrighted book is published they
will buy them in large quantities and
put them on the market at their cost
price, and this serves two purposes;
ii aids them in killing off the local
dealers by showing a great contrast
between the mail order house and the
local dealer. It also operates as an
excellent advertising scheme. Seeing
these low prices upon articles which
the people know about. they readily
conclude that the company advcrtis-
in" these things so wonderfully low
arc selling everything on a CORE
spondingly low basis. The next deceit
is the quality Of the goods. They adj

Suppose you would only buy the
bargains-just the goods that you
understand and know to be bargains.
How long do you suppose the mail
q house would do business7 Not
very long, They rely upon the bait
which they set and it works in a large
number OF eases to perfection. Bar
mum said that the American people
delighted in being humbugged, that
his show was the greatest humbug on
earth and that was the reason he got
such large crowds. We are always
locking for bargains and that is all
right. But because some one adver-
tiscs one article for less than they are
worth, that is no inference that he
sells other articles for less than thew
are worth. In fact, the opposite in
ference is truc, namely, if he sells one

sell the next FOR that much more than

FOR goods That are kept right here,
and what is worse, they arc getting
beaten on every article bought. let
alone the damage done to the local
dealer who is usually one Of the
principal factors in keeping up the
town.
There is no logic in the situation.
Your local dealers can furnish Won
your articles for one year as cheap
or cheaper than you can get them in
Chicago, besides if YOU happen to get
something You can't use. sou can
easily adjust it with your local dealer.
We insist that the quality Of the
goods bought at home is invariably
better than those bought in Chicago.
You are all opposed TO trusts, why
help in building them up? That is
just what YOU are doing by sending to

We give the trusts our financial or

a few cents, we are willing to hazard
the future Of our children?
let's have the patriotism and the
stamina to say that the interest Of
II home town shall first be protect

whole duty by our local interests we
will find that We are worth more in
dollars and cents than we are sending
to Chicago for our supplies. and we
will have retarded the progress Of
