What is the Use?


What is the use of urging people
to trade at home. They won't do it
and it is impossible to teach them to
do it. Home is mighty good place
to earn your money, but what's the
use of giving neighbor Jim your
trade when foreigner John in the
large city needs your trade. Besides
Jim is piker, thief and robber and
a high priced man any way. What
if our town and community does go
back? What if all the world points
it's finger at us and asks what's the
matter with Iowa and its smaller
communities? What if our property
does depreciate in value? What's the
farming community gets so dull our
young people are glad to leave it and
get into cities where people do trade
at home and boost for home things?
We have saved a few dollars anyway
and neighbor Jim. the blamed old
cuss, will sooner or later be forced
out of business. Well be glad when
he goes. Well be glad wnen half
the stores in the pretty Town are
closed up. Well be mighty well
pleased when no one except old peo-
pie are left and grass grows right in
the middle of the streets. We will
be more than pleased when half the
churches in town are forced to close
for lack of support. Well be glad
when the tax collector comes round
and asks us for a few more dollars
10 help support the schools and the
town because neighbor Jim and other
merchants have been forced to close
their doors and are no longer tax
payers in the community. Well be
glad to see our old town pine and die
away because We are pikers, kickers
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. people.
We don't blame people for trading
and his companions tack on from
two or three hundred per cent on
good articles and ask double prices
for inferior things. We do not blame
them so much for sending to mail
order houses when articles bought
at home fall to pieces and refuse to
give satisfaction and neighbor Jim
refuses to make 1t right. We do
blame them for trading away from
home when they refuse to give their
home dealer the same opportunity to
sell goods that is given the foreign
house and at the same rate of profit.
We do blame people for jewing local
tradesmen down to five per cent
basis on a large order for cash and
after the sale is made pick up the
articles, walk out of the store and
tell the man to charge it and neglect
to pay him for year afterwards We
do blame people for failure in all
cases to give the home dealer an abb
solute square deal, which is never
done if it can be avoided. But then,
what's the use of talking about trad
ing at home anyway? We can build
up the larger cities and it is mighty
pleasant occupation at social gath
ering to wonder why our town is so
dead. There are reasons and there
will continue to be greater reasons
in the future unless people wake up.

DON'T PULL OUT THE
GRAY HAIRS
NO LONGER NECESSARY, SAYS A
WRITER.

"Pull out one gray hair and dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is, to a great extent, true, IL no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear 1t is sign
that nature needs assistance. 1t is
natures call for help. Gray hairs,
dull lifeless hair, or hair that is fall
ing out is not necessarily sign OF
advancing age, for there are thous-
ands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without single streak
of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea," which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation
of domestic sage, and sulphur, scien-
tifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly HARM
less. 1t refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to it's ma
tural color.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by
Hays & Field.

A STAMP HOAX.
The Story That Went With the EIs.

Stamp collecting is peculiar but
fascinating hobby, and it is said that
MS many as 9.000O00 in all the world
own it as hobby. Germany, France,
Austria, England and France rank In
the order named in the number of
stamp collectors they contain.
'"The elephants beak hoax" is one of
the best jokes ever played at the ex-
pense of collectors. 1t was worked ON
half dozen well known philatelists
who were astonished by the announce
ment that q well known New York
stamp. collector had secured the only
copy of peculiar stamp later known
as "the elephant stamp bill" This
stamp bore as its central design the
figure of an elephant with the beak
and wings of bird. This stamp, so
the story went was designed by well
known South American revolutioniSt
who was about to overthrow the exist
ing regime The design on the stamp
was meant to designate that the new
ruler had the strength of an elephant
and the swiftness of a bird. But
alas for the plans of mice and men!
His plot was discovered, and among
the supplies seized were half a million
of the stamps of the new and yet un-
born republic. These We're ordered de-

aged to smuggle about hundred of
these away, but he was finally caught
and shot at daybreak. Before his exc
cution, however, he had given one
stamp to little boy, and this had in
some very reasonable and plausible
way found the New York collector
after many months.
The stamp was naturally of great
price and would have brought a big
sum had not several collectors COM
pared notes and found that each had
in his possession on approval the only
elephant bill stamp in existence. In
this way the interesting hoax was dis

minutes. When he finally reappeared

A Funny Chase.

Lord Oxford, an eccentric English
nobleman, once had team of red deer
stays that he frequently drove to II
light coach. All went well until one
day there happened TO be a pack Of
.staghounds on the road from London
to Brighton. along which Lord Orford's
picturesque team was merrily fieeting.
There followed the strangest chase
that ever mortal man witnessed. The
hounds hunted the team and its owner
hard to Newmarket, and with such q
smash into the Ram inn yard the
whole lot went that there was no more
coach left and little more of driver.
Lord Oxford took to horses after that.

The CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding The Pre-
vention of Coughs And
Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These trou-
bles are frequently due to weakness,
which produces a catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane, which is an
internal skin of the body. When this
skin is weakened it becomes easily in
fected with germs which cause many
of the diseases to which flesh is heir.
Healthy mucous membranes are es-
sential safeguards of the body's gen.
eral health.
We have a remedy which we honest
ly believe to be unsurpassed in excel
lence for the prevention of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal conditions. 1t
is the prescription of famous physi-
clan, who has an .enviable reputation
of thirty years of cures gained through
the use of this formula. We promise
to make no charge for the medicine
should it fail to do as we claim. We
urge everybody who has need of such
medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if We were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonableness of
our claim in every particular, and we
see no reason why ony one should hes
itate to accept our offer and try it. We
have two sizes of Rexall MucuTone,
prices so cents and $1.00. Sometimes
a 50-cent bottle is sufficient to give
marked relief. AS a general thing the
most chronic case is relieved with an
average of three large bottles. You
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Hat
tiesburg only at our store,-The Rexall
Store.-THE OWL DRUG STORE, f..

Tennyson's Father Had to Fly For His
Lifo From Russia.

Emperor Paul of Russia, Tennyson,
the father of the poet, dined with
Lord ST. Helens, the British ambassa-
dor in Moscow Several Russian Off
GERS of high rank whose names he did
not know were also guests. During
dinner a guarded reference was made
to the emperor's death.
"Why do you speak so gingerly
about matter so notoriousT" cried
Tennyson inpulaively, leaning across
his neighbor. Russian whose breast
was covered with orders. 'We know
very well in England that the Emper-
or Paul was murdered. Count Zoboff
knocked him down and Benningsen
and Count Pahlen strangled him."
There was strained silence; then
the ambassador abruptly changed the
subject. As the guests filed out into
an adjoining room Lord st. Helens
drew Tennyson aside. Don't go into
| the next room," he whispered, 'but fly
| for your life The man next you,
across whose breast you leaned, was
Count Pahlen. and Zoboff was also at
the table"
He gave a few hurried directions,
and Tennyson rushed off. threw his
clothes into a portmanteau and fled

GRATING ON THE CRATER.
Get-Rich-Quick Promoter Has to Pro
vide for JackaIs and Vultures
of His Trade.

The man who starts a get-rich-quick
scheme may always be likened to a
beast of prey, stalking and bringing
down his game single-handed, or
sometimes working with pack. Trail
ing along behind him is a jackal, the
lawyer. whose business it is to save
him from capture. The jackal must
have his share of the kill. Then in
the trees overlooking the hunt are the
vultures of the game, the blackmailing
gang, each of whom knows that they
must give up to him if they are to be
allowed to keep on. They print little
blackmailing sheets, and in some
cases have a financial agency on their
side. They must be paid and paid
roundly. SThen when the beast of
prey, the jackal, and the buzzards
have torn off the last shred of flesh
fro mthe quarrycomes the hyena of the
game, who digs the bones from under
the sand which has covered them and
cracks them open and sucks the mar
! row. He is the "squaring" lawyer. II
| is his business to write to each of the
victims and offer to take a claim
