TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Patronage of Home Stores Depends
Much Upon the Merchants.

How often do merchants complain
shout the farmers and others sending
20 distant places for goods, while at
the same time the farmers are forced
by the merchants to send their pro-
duce to some other place while the
merchants ship in the same class of
products that the farmers are send
ing out?
In the home patronage matter there
Is nothing so wholesome as reci-
procity. Do the merchants always
give preference to homegrown pota-
toes. to the products supplied by the
local hens, to the output of the local
creameries? Do the merchants al
ways show a good example by patron
fixing their brother tradesmen? Or
do they at times send to the city for
the clothes they wear; the piano for
their daughter, the wagon they use
In delivering goods, etc.?
There are a lot of narrow-minded,
shortsighted men in the mercantile
business as well as on the farms.
There is lot of selfishncss in the
average Of humanity, and this mani
tests itself now and then in censur-
ing others for doing that which we
feel justified in doing ourselves.
Many merchants seem to think that
there is only one side to the home
patronage proposition; that it is the
duty of the farmer to buy everything
at home regardless OF whether the
merchant buys his flour from the
home mill, or whether he sends away
for the potatoes which he sells, in.
stead of buying them from the local
farmers.
Then, again, merchants are as blind
now and then to their own interests
as are the farmers. The merchant
seeks to squeeze the last cent OF
profit from the farmer and thereby
loses trade. as well as the farmer
trying to save few niggardly pen
mics and getting "bit" by the distant
mail-order concern. There is such q
thing as equity, be 1t understood, and
there is such thing as compensation
The merchant who gives the farmers
Of his community a square deal and
shows the proper kind of enterprise is
hardly ever heard complaining about
The mail-order house or the depart
ment stores iniuring his trade But
the merchant who is intent upon play
ing a dead cinch" game is forever
hewling- The home patronage matter
is mainly up to the merchants Of
the small towns People resid
ing in the country are pretty fair
minded They want decent treat
ment They like consistency. They
VIII even pay the live, reliable, honest
merchant a higher price for goods
than they will the distant mail-ordel
concern or the surething department
store, or the scalliwag merchant who
is always out to beat somebody out Of
. few cents.

DIRECTORY.
Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
tucky has population of 2,147,174.
The area is 40,40O square miles !:
400 of which is water. The streams
within the State, as rule head in the
Southeast and flow in 'Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
tstructon of railroads and the devel-
opment of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only limited demand for coal and
lumber. Now that the demand has in
creased. 1t would seem that
a kind providence has held in
reserve our almost ineXhaustible util-
tiles until a time when they are most
needed by the country. Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for many years to
come.
We have a coal area of over fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities aSe being developed in
many localities,
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than III other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
always welcome.

CHARACTER IN HAIR.

Much has been heard of the eyes.
the hands and the features as de-
lineators of character. but very little
of the hair in this connection. Though
ii is scarcely more than a surmise, it
is said that a jealous disposition and
possibly unreliability are denoted by
dull black hair. A person with light
hair is sensitive to criticism and
sights. Good judgment and common
sense rest upon the head of the own
er of brown hair of a deep color and
firm texture. Though women with
