WE owe it to the community in which we live to do everything we can in every way possible that will
 be to it's advantage. Our neigh
 bor's prosperity means great deal more to us than someone's who lives elsewhere. We should bear this in mind in buying our goods. We can afford to pay our home man good price for his wares rather than send our money away, knowing as we do that every dollar our own citizen makes will help in sustaining our schools, churches and public institutions It pays richly to patronize home industry.

Grants Tomb

And now there is a complaint among the fine boned critics of thf east that the tomb of Genera Grant. as it stands, is a viola tion of many rules of art anf architecture. That is too bad if true, but then there are othe, things to think about in that con nection Is the sleep of the aoldie' within the structure disturbed be cause of the architecture of his final house2 In his life time he was prone to be careless about his ap- parel. When he and General Lee met at Appomattox General Lee was dressed in a new and costly uniform. wearing the $10.000 sword which the loving people of Rich mond had presented to him. And he wore that sword expecting to surrender it to General Grant. The latter appeared in a worn army blouse. However, he apologized for his appearance, by explaining that in the confusion of the previ- ous days. his personal luggage had been left somewhere. But when the terms of surrender had been agreed upon. Grant sat down to put them in writing. Stopping his writing for a moment, evidently running over in his mind whether anything had been omitted or not, his eyes fell upon the jeweled hilt of General Lees sword. Then he turned back to his work and added the famous paragraph, in sub stance, that All officers will retain their side arms. and officers and soldiers their horses" Then he ex- plained that the men would need their horses to plant their spring crops.
 That was a violation of all the etiquette that had prevailed in pre- vious surrenders, but it revealed the character of Grent in a new light to the nation and the world and by that act the reverence that attaches to his grave is increased and by the way. what do men who visit his tomb go there for? It is to criticise some stone and steel or is it out of reverence for the hero who is sleeping his last sleep there2
