A Dallas woman purchased GER
tain article in Salem. She paid her
good money to the Salem dealer and
brought her purchase proudly home.
A few days later she saw a garment
exactly similar worn by one of her
Dallas lady friends. Upon investi-
CATION she discovered that the latter
garment had been purchased from a
Dallas dealer at exactly 81 less than
the former lady had paid for it in
Salem, and il cost the latter 81 rail
road fare and dinner at a Salem
restaurant to secure her "bargain. "
She was therefore more than $3 out
on the deal. The Observer believes
that this instance is duplicated many
times each year. Dallas merchants
carry large lines of all classes of
goods and there is no reason why any /
body should go to Salem or to Port /
land or anywhere else to make their
purchases. If every citizen and
'citizeness' of Dallas were to buv
everything they possibly can in this
'ity they would not only save money
bat the efforts of the Commercial
Hub for a greater Dallas would be
'reatly augmented and assisted. Why
rot make one of your resolutions

EVERGLADES IN FLORIDA.
The Swamp Region Is Really a De-
Cayed Mountain Top.

The Swamp Region Is Really a De-
cayed Mountain Top.
One of the strange facts about the
Everglades region of Florida is that
it is really decayed mountain top.
The crest is formed of massive lime
stone. usually covered by a mantel
of sand. In this formation are num-
Derless pot holes, which vary in size
from a few feet to thousands of
acres; also countless lakes of fresh
water springs and frequent subter-
ranean streams and pools
A few miles north of Cape Sable
is an outcrOp of limestone which pro-
Jects to Lake Okeechobee. In this
outcrop is an extensive basin extend
ing 1870 miles north and south and
about 70 miles east and west, while
the altitude of it's rim is IL feet
above mean tide in Biscayne bay and
a little less above the Gulf of Mex
leo.
This rim is from three to twelve
miles from the ocean edge of the
coastal plain on the east, and an av-
erage distance of so miles from the
gulf on the west. So far as explored
it extends all around the edge Of the
basin, forming a complete cup.
AS a result of the weather and
flowing water the rim has been worn
into fantastic shapes. The depth of
the basin varies from a foot at the
rim to as much as II feet in places,
but generally the rock floor is from
q dpnfh of ono IN Qiy foot
And here is the secret of the fer
tility of the Everglades. Above the
entire rock floor rises a layer of
muck, formed Of an alluvial deposit
and Of decayed vegetable matter.
The deposit varies from few inches
to several feet in thickness.

BEFORE AND AT TER ELECTION
BARRETT CALLS ATTENTION TO
WILES OF THE POLITICIAN.
Sets City Against Country, and Is a
Foe to True Progress and Cooper
alton Among the People.

alton Among the People.
To the Officers and Members of
the Farmers Union: Upon my sew
eral visits to Washington during the
sessions of congress | have more than
ever been impressed with the dema-
gogy that keeps the country and city
apart in sentiment, and that is a foe
to true progress.
l could call by name several con-
gressmen who rode into office by ar
raging country against city.
The procedure is simple and is
one of the oldest tricks in the bag
of the politician.
He will go into the country dis
tricts during campaign and lash
against the city to a frenzy.
When the rturns, are all in you
will find that he has been elected by
a country majority
When he gets to Washington what
does he do? Continue to fay the
residents of the city, and take the
farmer to his loving breast?
Not SO.

est Straddles he can devise
For instance, take the parcels
post.
He probably went through the dis
trict before election promising all
the farmers that one of the first
things he would do when he reached
office would be to get them a general
parcels post.
Does he fulfill that promise to the
letter?
Not so you could notice it.
He studies the election returns
faithfully.
He finds that a large part of the
vote against him came from the cit
les.
His object, therefore, is to rub the
city mans back, and at the same time
not to make an enemy of the farmer.
So he frames up a parcels post
that let's the farmer ship into the
city, but that protects the little city
merchan from far-off competition by
making no provision for return ship
ments.
Thus he has given the man in the
country shadow of a redemption
Of his promise. And he has made
grandstand play to the man in the
city.
This is only given for an illustra-
ton. There are many others.
have seen congressman after CON
gresham get into Office by appealing
to the class prejudice of the farmer,
and then turn straight around and
work might and main to get things
for the city that he might melt oppo-
sition against him.
1t is this sort of thfng-the con-
slant lining up of country against
city-that is one of the greatest bars
to progress.
The city man is often led to be-
lieVe that the country man regards
