Home Merchants First.

Don I complain II you maven I
everything in the world you
would like to have Remember
that this is the garden spot of
the world and the paradise of
Maryland. This year, while
other sections were visited by a
distressing droughth, you had u
good season. While other sec
tions were visited by disease,
our county was healthy (the
doctors say more SO than they
ever saw it. While the crops
in some sections were injured,
yours grew to perfection.
This is not a belated Thanks
giving editorial. but we are
reminded to write it because the
Christmas Holidays are near at
hand, and our people have been
so blessed, in comparison with
others, that we feel it our duty
10 remind them of il, and TO
suggest that we make every
body around us happy Christ
mas day and during the season
of Christmas festivities. There
is one class of our people who
have not felt your prosperity.
1t is the merchants. The men
who help you out when times
are hard, and who carry you on
their books for months when
the Chicago merchant would
not carry you fifteen minutes.
You should remember that your
county cannot have that degree
of prosperity that it is entitled
to if you make your money here
and spend it in Chicago and
New York. You may have to
pay few cents more some
times. but YOU are face-to-face
with the merchant and you can
nee what you are buying We
are reminded that one of our
farmers recently sent to Chi
cago and bought enough paint
as he thought to cover his
house. He just had enough for
half of it. and as he was in a
hurry he had to come to town
and buy enough to finish the
Job. Now listen 1t took him
less than one-half as much of
the paint he bought in Snow
Hill to cover the same surface
as the Chicago mixture that he
bought because he thought it
was cheap. The fact is. that
most of the goods coming from
these catalogue houses is shod-
dy. and in some way deceptive.
They wear out in a short while,
leaving YOU poorer for having
bought them. We don't mean
to say that you do not some
times get good bargains, put out
as feelers for your trade, but as
a rule YOU would do better at
home, and at the same time
keep your money in circulation
in your own community where
some of it would come back to
YOU. You should take pride in
your nearby town and help 10
build it up in prosperity. Your
property will increase in value
as the town prospers. Your
products will find a more ready
market and at better prices. 1t
is a duty you owe to yourself
and to your children to spend
every dollar that you possibly
can at home rather than with
strangers.
Think il over and make your
Christmas purchases in Snow
Hill, Berlin, Pocomoke City and
other towns of Worcester Coun-
ty.

particular, with every prospect of a
continued steady growth in its mem
bership. With the passing of the
weeks the wisdom of locating a camp
in the Boyle Heights section is be-
coming more apparent, and time is
the only factor to be reckoned with
in making Hollenbeck camp one of the
leading camps of Los Angeles.
La Fiesta camp held a splendid
meeting last Monday night, with an
unusually large attendance present,
numbering prominent visitors from all
the Los Angeles camps as we'll as out
side the city. A class of fifteen can
didates was admitted into the camp
and order, East Lake camps officers
and degree team performing the cere-
mony of introduction in their custom
ary efficient manner. The degree team
of East Lake camp, in charge of George
Fisher, is regarded as one of the best
drilled in Southern California, and last
Monday nights work in no wise i'm
paired their reputation. AT the conclu-
sion of the initiation and business ses-
sion, cigars and apples in abundance
were passed around the hall, and "a
general social time had, during which
time brief and interesting addresses
were made by numerous neighbors, the
general tenor of which expressed the
pleasure of the speakers for the even
ing's entertainment.
