PATROHZE HONE People.
From an exchanges the followins

From an exchange the following
excellent editorial IS reproduced. II
IS worthy of careful consideration by
every reader:
Not a few people seem to think
that if they want anything it istheir
bOunden duty to send away from
home to get is-that they must send
to one of the numerous mail order
houses located in various parts of the
country. In almost every home in
the country may be found one or
more catalogues of these honses
which carry everything from COM
mon belt to grand piano. These
books are studied, the pictures and
prices are examined and too often
when the family needs anything an
order is made out and sent othe
mail order house. The question of
transportation charges and the likeli.
hood of receiving shoddy goods is
never taken into consideration. We
doubt very much if the buyers from
mail order houses ever get the actual
worth of their money.
Aside from this, though, the.
practice of buying away from home
those articles which can be procured
from the home merchant is miserably
bad business policy, because a dollar
sent away from home is a dollar gone,
taken out of circulation, with no
hope that it will return. 1t goes to
help pay for the palatial residence of
the foreign seller, to pay the sales
men who spend all they get in dis
tant cities. In fact, it drains the
smaller towns and country districts
to build up cities. If the dollar is
spent at home with the the home
merchant, the chances are that dol=
lar may find its way back into the
hands of the original spender.

CONSIDER THE BEAM IN THINE
OWN EYE"

The casual traveller on the Euro
pean continent sees unfamiliar sights
among the peasantry of different
countries and often returns with har-
rowing tales of women harnessed to
dog-carts or blowing in the fields.
There are those who listen with
complacency contrasting these pic
lures of foreign conditions with the
condition of women in America.
They should visit American factories
and mines and study the condition OF
women and children working there
for lifetime which is never a long
one.
Young girls come out of school at
fourteen and go to work in factory.
After short apprenticeship they are
put at the machines and in time
come to earn the most they will ever
earn-$s to $40 per week. Gradu-
ally their eyes, their muscles and
nerves begin to wear out and their
efficiency declines. Lower wages fol-
low and they later stand beside the
apprentice again earning the mini
mum wages after life time spent in
factory.
Go into the rubber factories and
see women drunk with the fumes of
naphtha. Go into the nOn-union hat
factories and see the skin scaIded
from women's hands as they shrink
the felt in streams of boiling water.
Such things and worse, are every
day conditions in many places; but
we Americans do not like to think
oft. We want to treat women bet
ter than benighted foreigners do.
We are proud of our institutions, our
civilization. The fame of freedom
and prosperity penetrates to all corn
ers of the earth.
No pen will ever do justice to the
working woman of the factories and
mines. The sweat and blood, the
work and worry. of those who toll
till they become deaf to all sweet
music through the ceaseless whi4r OF
wheels and blind to all beauty thro'
the one sight of flying shuttles ex-
cites our pity.

counter, do you ever think, when

ROGUE RIVER PEOPLE
LOOKING FOR FROST FIBBER

Medford.-Rogue River valley or
chardists, having successfully fought
the blight, the Goblin moth, the San
Jose scale, the woolly aphis and num-
erous other pests, are now contending
against the industrious frost fibber,
who is busy circulating false reports
Of damage caused by frost.
1t lis hard to ascertain what this
species Of knocker gains by his per-
sistent lying The orchards themsel-
yes are proof of the falsity Of his as
sertions. Trees in a majority of or
chards are laden with young fruit as
never before. Already hand thinning
is in progress in many groves, and
within few weeks it will be necces-
sary in the majority.
AS a whole the orchards were not
damaged by the frost, Only the nor
NAL amount Of damage that is looked
for each year is recorded. Here and
there a young orchard just coming
into bearing suffered, but the old or
chards were practically uninjured.
The record pear crop Of the valley
is hanging on the trees, and an un-
usually fine apple crop. Railroad ex-
perts estimate the output at double
that Of any previous year, exceeding
total of 900 cars.-Medford Tribune.
