their advertisements are distributed
over the country, some one paper of
which enters nearly every home. The
result is that these metropolitan es
Establishments have built up an i'm
mense mail trade. In our town, and
indeed in most of the towns here
abouts, there is no occasion for this
out-of-town buying. The duty of cit
liens in the matter is plain, and
where other things are equal support
should be given local dealers. Our
merchants have invested their CAPT.
ital, have erected buildings, which
are the pride of the city, and have es
tablished concerns which are almost
metropolitan in character. They
have built up our little city, and
it is only fair return that they
have the city's trade, to turn trade
otherwise, even in the line of small
purchases which are great in the ag-
gregate, is to invite the decline of
property values in our town.

READ THE REPORTER

Our farmers are beginning to
awake to the fact that in order tG
get the best results from their land
they must commence to tile drain.
Those who have given the subject
any consideration, find on investiga-
ton, that it will pay them to work
smaller areas properly tiled; that
better crops are to be had and that
properly tile drained land will pro-
duce good crops in wet seasons,
where the ordinary open ditched land
will produce but very poor, if any,
crop. he trouble with many farm
ers who have been trying to farm
wet land (and this section Of the
state has suffered from too much wet
for the past few years. is that they
are short of the money necessary to
the Improvement Of soil conditions
by tile draining. It would be better

One of the most notable facts con-
nected with a country newspaper of
today is the large increase in the
amount of advertising of local bust
ness houses. The change has taken
place gradually during the past year
or so. It is highly significant, and an
inquiry as to the cause of it is Of
great profit, not only to those in the
newspaper business, but to every
business man and citizen of our town
as well. The change, in brief, means
that local merchants have found it
necessary TO call attention to their
goods because of the immense compe-
tition they face the most deadly ele-
ment Of which is that from the great
stores Of the large cities. These
great establishments advertise their
wares most lavishly, and the metro

TOWELS IN THE SCHOOLS

The city physician of Des Moines
has made a recommendation that
ought to be adopted by all of the
school boards in the United States.
He says that individual towels should
be furnished for the children in the
public schools, and that if this is not
done there should be no towel at all
in school houses. 1t must be ad-
mitted that this physician speaks
truthfully when he declares that the
public towels now used by the
children are reeking with disease
germs, and unfit for use. Either dis
card them altogether or give each
child in the school his own individ-
ual towel daily. This advice is so
timely and sensible that one won
ders why such a plan was not
adopted by wise school boards long
ago. Individual towels or nome
