also feel the effects of spinners calling cot

THE HOME MERCHANT.

Without any thought of sentiment or
suggestion that we owe allegiance to
any one, the cold, hard truth is that the
retail merchants Of our home town are
the best business friends we have.
The retail merchant conducts a school
of commerce. for our education-and
the tuition is free. Every man, woman
and child gets the benefit of seeing in
the home town about anything that is
of real importance. He protects US
against fraud and deceit. He stands for
the square deal.
You never ordered $40 lightning rod
of your home merchant and then found
your note for thousand dollars in the
bank next day az result. You never
paid him 500 for range that warped
out Of shape in six months without
your wife getting the money back. He
never charged you $75 for trailer
buggy that you found ont afterwards
could be bought anywhere for $50
mo, the home merchant is just like
you. He lives where he does business
and his success depends on making q
friend of you and your neighbor. Like
you. he has to make good"
The retail merchant is now the one
great factor in our commercial system
and this is true solely because he renders
us better service than we can get else
where Take him away and our home
town is gone; take our home town away
and we deprive our children Of the re-
tail store, which is the greatest single
educational factor in modern life. No
it cannot be. The retail merchant will
continue to abide in our affections no
long as we value our homes, because the
average citizen is proud of his town the
always tells how close his farm is to it,
and he secretly despised the method of
peddlers- and the peddler system is now
known to be the Legitimate father of
the catalogue house business The

WHY HE LOST THE SIMPLE MAIDEN.

Tomorrow, sighed the simple maid,
en-. 'is my birthday"
1t was hint that young Smith knew
would be expensive to understand. But
the simple maiden was heiressto eco 600,
was decidedly comedy, and they were en-.
gagei So he decided to plunge.
Anyone could guess your age, so sim
pie are your ways" he said, and I'll
show you how III guess it. Tomorrow
you will receive bunch ofcrimson roses,
and in that bunch there will be one rose
my pet, for every year that you have
lived"
That night Smith wrote note to his
florist ordering the immediate delivery
of eighteen roses to his lady fair.
The florist read the order and said to
his wife:
Here's young Smith wants us to send
bouquet of one and half dozen Grim.
son roses to Park lane, w. He's been a
good customer lately. Throw in an ex-
ira dozen for luck.
Smiths presents were returned within
the hour, and to this day he can't imag'
inc why the engagement was broken off.

1t would seem that our government
Is big enough and rich enough to let
well enough alone. With multitudn.
Gus functions properly belonging to
national activity to keep all depart
ments busy, it hardly seems essential
that Uncle Sam should become Job
printer to the extent Of going out into
the highways and byways to solicit
business widely separated and insig
nificant in the aggregate.
The average country publisher has
strenuous time in making both ends
meet, even when all advantages are on
his side, but If he must come in compe.
tition with the government Of which he
is part and parcel, and to which he
gives loyal support, in the matter of en-
velope printing, then there lie certainly
ground for Encouragement If not dis.
gust.
There is an old saying that Uncle
Sam is rich enough to buy us all a
