How Much Could You Get
for Your Land?

You are farmer living near this
town and own land. Let us say that
you own more then you need and
would like to sell one hundred acres,
How much could you get per acre7
A man buying farm land naturally
prefers to locate near thriving pro
sperous town. He wants good home
markets for his crops; he wants good
schools Suppose that your land is
three miles from town and another
farm that looks very much like yours
is three miles from town twice as
large and twice as lively. If you
were going to buy for your own oc
cupancy, wouldn't you Day a whole
lot more for the land near the town
twice as large and lively? Of course
you would; it would, be good business.
What makes town big and bust
ling? Money; money in circulation; not
in circulation in Chicago or Spokane,
but right here.
How much money have you sent
out OF town in the past ten years?
How much have your nelghbors sent?
How much have all of you together
put out of circulation here at home? ?
1t is probably bevond all calculation,
1t all the money had been spent in your
own town, isn't it reasonable to sup
posa that the town would have grown
more than 1t has growu7 Wouldn't it
b. larger. better, town? Wouldn't
it have more stores to buy your pro
dnce? Wouldn't it nave more public
improvements to make 1t more attract.
i've to outsiders who might come here
to live, to go iuto business, o. buy
your surplus land at good figures2
If The customers paid the local mer
chant cash. as he paws the out of town
merchant, isn't it reasonable to sup
pose that he would be able to sell
merchandise at a lower figure. not
having TO pay eight and ten per cent
interest for the necessary money to
cary the business, to say nothing of
the number of bills that al e never paid
in some cases running as high as ten
per cent = year7 AS far as prices for
merchandise are concerned, you can
buy as low here at home as anywhere,
QUALITY CONSIDERED. The re.
tail price of many things is dictated
by the manufacturer. For instance;
flour in most places is consigned I'd
the retail merchant is obliged to sell
at the price dictated by the mill; the
retail price of sugar by the sugar trust;
oil by the oil trust; the price of many
articles such as advertised brands Of
coffee. tea, spices, shoes, clothing, is
the same every where in the United
States.
To trade at home means to help the
town and neighborhood. To help the
town and neighborhood means to help
yourself.

POSTMASTER IS
 KILLED BY NEGRO

Sparks, Ga, April 26.-Whi1e search ing for two negro men who had in suc- cession robbed the postoffice, bank a dry goods store and a drug store at Lenox, this county, early this morning. Assistant Postmaster Clifford Ruther- ford of that place was shot twice through the head and was instantly killed by Marshall Lewis. one of the negroes, who had taken refuge in the railway station.
 Lewis accomplice was caught but Lewis escaped and was later trailed down by dogs at Adel and was taken toward the Nashville. Ga., jail. The negro confessed and begged not to be taken back to Lenox. A hundred friends of Rutherford went to Adel late this afternoon with the intention of inter cepting the sheriff. It Is admitted that a lynching is imminent Indignation over the murder Is deep and if the sheriff fails to reach a substantial jail the proba bility is that his prisoner will be hanged.
 Rutherford, while seeking the rob bers, put his head in the door of the depot waiting room and struck a match. At that instant two shots rang out and he dropped to the floor.

ArnGnianS Are BeSieged and Slain By Thousands
NO HELP IS ID BE FOUND
Foreign Representatives and Others Are PoWerIess to Aid the Sui ferers Who Are Pursued by
 Fanatics.

Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey, April 26.- Refugees who have made their escape from Deurtyul, which is d small place not far from Alexandretta, bring most alarming accounts of the situation there. Theyp affirm that 100000 Armenians are beleaguered by 50,000 Moslems The be- sieged are ahlf starving and the condi- ful. It is difficult for foreign residents here to credit these rumors. The for eign consuls estimate about 5000 towns people and refugees at Deurtyul with per- haps as many more Turks threatening them from the outside. It Is certain there are no Americans at that place. The com manders of the British and other war ships at this port have had under con sideration the landing of a force to re- lieve the beseiged town, which is within one days march of Alexandretta, but they finally decided that this was wholly impracticable, as they had no right to interfere in a purely internal affair and the governor declined to give his per mission to the landing of an armed force.
 If relieving forces were sent out in op- position to the governors wishes, it was recognized that such an expedition would be equivalent to a declaration of war, and in addition the largest commands that the warships could muster would stand in great danger of being overwhelmed if they attempted to force their way against such immense odds.

Supposed Kidnapping Case Is
 q Plain Runaway
MERELY CHILDISH WHIM
Daughter of Wealthy New Yorker Left Home for Boston But Returns When She Learns of the
 Kidnapping Case.

New York. April 26.-Adele Boas, the 13-year-old daughter of Arthur E. Boas, a wealthy thread manufacturer Is at home tonight with her parents, the mys- tery of her disappearance last Friday hav- ing been dispelled and the case resolves it. self into nothing more than the esca- pade of a child with sudden desire to see the world, Boston in particular, and a wish to be independent and work for a living With cut finger and dIsheveled clothes and apparently suffering from fatigue, Adele's parents are sure she real izes that there are pleasanter experiences than going forth alone to a strange city in search of adventure. Yet, aside from the natural reaction that has set in the girl is little worse for her wanderings. The Boas family physician spent half an hour with her this evening and announced afterward that she was in perfect health. He said her trip was merely the result Of a childish whim.
 She is growing" he said, land she was seized with one of those unexplainable notions children have, and followed the fancy. She had been thinking of going
 
 weeks she had been saving her money for the trip.'
 With the first shock of the meeting with her parents over, the child told more of her movements in Boston The position she had in restaurant there was to have brought her $2.5O a week with board and i, lodging.
 Saturday night and Sunday she spent in the room she had rented. Her money by this time was exhausted, all but enough to get back to New York, and this morn ing she decided to return. She went to the south station and was approached by an elderly man.
 '"rhe police are looking all over for you, Adele Boas,' he said.
 My name is not Boas,' she replied, de- fiantly, and boarded the train for New York, only to be identified at Stamford Conn.,, after she had tried in vain to dodge the persistent questioners, even re- sorting to the ruse of speaking broken English.
 The first clue to the missing girl came this morning when Mrs. E. M.-Upton tel ephoned from Charleston, Mass, and said she had seen girl answering the descrip- tion of Miss Boas while on a train be- tween Boston and New York. Mrs Up- ton did not make it plain to the police whether the train was en route to Boston or coming to New York. But the Boston police were notified and later MT. Boas re- ceived a telephone message from a man in Boston saying he had seen a girl an swering the description of Adele, and that she had boarded a train for New York This started so much police machinery in motion that 1t was impossible for the girl to pass unnoticed.

Town is In Flames.

Beirut, April 26.-The town of Hadiin about 100 miles to the north of Alexand- retta. where the residents have witnessed the assaults of the fanatics for the past week, was in flames yesterday. Accord ing to reports received here, several of the quarters escaped and up to midnight Sunday all the Americans were safe. At this place there are five American wom- en missionaries.

Ravendahl, who obtained the CO., operation of the French cruiser Jules Ferry, which arrived at LatalSfa this morning. Thousands of refugees have been pouring in to LatalSia and the pres ence of the French warship there will have much influence in controlling the situation. The refugees are mostly wom- en and children, many of the male mem bers of the families having been killed. The consul general has also succeeded in inducing the local Authorities to take measures for the relief of the people and they are responding sympathetically and energetcally.
