 The farmer was ready to go to mar ket. and was in haste to depart He told the painters that they must con suit his wife; if she were willing, they could paint the sign. and he drove away. The farmer supposed that his wife was in the house, but she had gone to her daughters home-a short distance away across the fields.
 The fgn-painters, finding no one in the house. put up their ladders and began to make black letters on the board aide of the long. white barn. Probably they had had experience. If the farmers wife were willing; so much time were gained, if she were not willing. and the sign were up when she appeared, they must arbi- trate.
 Mrs- Spence. looking from the win dow of her daughters house. saw the painters at work Calling te her son in-law and Major. the farm dog that had accompanied her. she hastened to interview the paintera- The black daubers had planned. evidently, to paint the sign in sections to save time and labor When Mrs. Spence ar- rived shs read-

suxiNr BACK OUR PRODUCTS.

From the little town of Del Rio, in the state of Texas, comes story with an object lesson.
 While car of home-raised toms- toes was being loaded there for ship ment to eastern markets another car of imported tomatoes was being un- loaded there for home consumption. It has been asserted and proven that the latter car contained Texas-grown tomatoes, which had first been ship ped to the eastern markets, canned and shipped back to Texas.
 The consumer paid the freight both ways, paid the salaries of the em- pioyes of the eastern cannery and the costs of putting up the goods for the market.
 They might have done all this at home, thereby saving the additional costs, but they didn't, and they haven't.
 Evidently the people of Texas. and we might as well include the whole south, have developed a decided pref erence for the thing that comes toI us with what Spencer calls an alien ated majestic" If it is not true in the case of tomatoes. it is propabiy be- cause they won't stand shipment to| and fro.
 What is true of the south in this respect is largely true. in one way or another. of Arizona.
 We may not ship our products out of the state. as they do in Texas, and buy them back at higher prices. be- cause in this particular locality we do not raise enough farm products for home consumption. and the producer finds high and ready market for everything he raises.
 But the Del Rio incident affores us| an object lesstion akin in its effects to our own experience in paying trib- ute to the foreign markets. The Tex an ships h.s best beeves to the Kan sas City markets and the Swifts and he Armours levy tribute upon the Tex as consumer for a deteriorated article of food. The Arfzonans-some of them-send their money away for an inferior article. purchasable in the| home markets at practically the same price, transportation rates considered, and probably of a better quality.
 One of the penalties of failure to D. tronize home enterprises is that we not infrequently are victimized by sharpers to the extent of buying an fn- ferior article when we could purchase a superior article at the same cost. de livered
 There is little or no difference in practical results between the Texaa way and the way of some Arizonans.
