ducements for the location of fac
tories, including exemption from
taxes for a time, free sites md bo-
muses., and these methods have CON
tr.buted so much toward building
up hundreds of prosperous runlc.-
palities that their wisdom can not
not be questioned. ANYTHING that
will add to our desirable popula-
ton. that will give employment to
men who support families and thus
contribute to the general welfare,
is at all times desirable
Bur The people who join heartily
in the work Of bringing in new in
dustries, ana who show the great
est enthusiasm over this feature of
the public work in which all good
citizens share. sometimes are the
first to forget that the new indus
tries brought in and the old ones
already here require continuous
support and, failing to get it, be-
come a hindrancc rather chen nn
aid to development
We are apt to overlook, tco, the
fact that the home merchant Is els
titled to as much consideration as
the factory which Ne have obtain
cd by special effort The mcr-
chant is a necessity even more 50
,han the factory; for who cares to
live in a community where ;hore
are no stores. or where the stores
are closed and barred and the mer-
chants have moved away, forced to
other fields by lack OF patronage!
The retail store, properly con-
Quoted, i, an industry that shonid
have the support Of every ioVai
citizen. Our pride in the home
town is measured by Our willing
ness to support its merchants and
its industries.
1t is not necessary to build a
Chinese wall around our Communi
ty-to refuse to buy outside when
we can do SO to advantage. But
the man who will send away for
something that he can buy at home
on as good or better terms needs
education and lacks loyalty. Some
times, unfortunately, the very one
who should be least liable to this
criticism, the local merchant, is
given to sending abroad for things
which he ought to buy from his
neigibors. Then, again, there is
the farmer who finds it easier to
mail his order to big city than to
town. Often he is handicapped by
bad roads and thus has a valid ex-
cuse. But lie ought to be able to
buy by mail from our own mer-
chants as safely and as advan-
tageOusly as from someone at dis
lance with whom he has no ac-
quaintance. If he is not furnished
the facilities it is time for the i'm
provement of our merchandising
methods And he ought to have
good roads that would make a trip
to Ellensburg pleasure.
Much remains to be done to
strengthen our local business inter
ests. We ought to give real sup
port to any move that will tend to
keep our money at home.

Watermelons For Winter Use.

Watermelons For Winter Use.
How would you like to carve a
thirty pound watermelon in mid
winter?
l did that identical thing the
first day of January. 1911. I'll tell
you how you can do the same thing:
First select nice round melon,
as a round melon will keep better
than a long slim one 1t must have
a medium thick rind. Be careful
and don't bruise, for a bruised
melon won't keep.
Pull the melon as soon as it is
ripe but don't wait for it to get
overripe and with as long a stem as
possible.
1t does not need to be vanished
over as some people think, but just
laid away in a well ventilated base
ment they will keep indefinitely
We had watermelons all the time
the last six months of 1910 by TAX
ing care of them as above mention

Origin of Our Dollar.

The word dollar" was in our
language at least three hundred
years ago, for it is used by Shake
speare several times. 1t is sup
posed that the word was in use in
London in the latter part of the
Sixteenth Century, having been
brought in by the North German
merchants. who managed the trade
on the Baltic and in Russia.
Dollar" appeared first in an
English dictionary in 1745. 1t is a
borrowed word, being the German
-thaler." The coins issued by the
mint in JOachimsthal were called
JoachimSthalers." When other
mints were established, the
'JOachims" was dropped and the
coins were called simply "thalers."
The dollar was adopted by Con-
sress as the unit of our currency on
August 2, 17S5. 1t was to contain
1854 grains of pure silver; but.
when the mint was established, in
1902, the requirement was reduced
o S71.25 grains of pure silver. The
,oinage Of dollars began in 1874.

Alone.

Alone.
They are left alone, in the dear old
home,
After so many years,
When the house was full of frolic
and fun.
OF childish laughter and tears.
They are left alone, they two, once
more,
BEGINNING life over again,
Just as they did in the days of yore
Before there we're nine or ten.
And the table is set for two these
days;
The children went one by one
Away from home on their separate
ways
When the childhood days were
done.
How healthily hungry they used
to be!
What romping they used to do!
And mother, for weeping, can hard
ly see
To set the table for two.
They used to gather aronnd the fire
While someone would read aloud
But whether at study, or work or
play
Twas loving and merry crowd.
And now they are two that gather
there
At evening to read or sew,
And it seems almost too much to
bear
When they think of the long ago.
All, well - ah, well. tbs the way of
the world!
Children stay but little while,
And then into other scenes are
whirled.
Where other homes beguile;
But it matters not how far they
roam,
Their hearts are fond and true,
And there's never a home like the
dear old home
Where the table is set for two.
Mail and Breeze.
Face the Sun.
Don't hunt after trouble. but look
for success;
You'll find what you look for don't
look for distress;
If you see but your shadow, remem-
Der, l pray,
That the sun is still shining, but
you're in the way.
Don't grumble, don't buster, don't
dream and don't shirk;
Don't think of your worries, but
| think of your work.
The worries will vanish, the work
will be done;
No man sees his shadow who faces
the sun!

Some Truths.

Every young man has within
himself the elements of true great
ness.
Innocence is sublime, however
tattered and torn its outer gar
ments.
Let each day keep in store just
as much of your best work as pos.
sible.
There is no alternative; there can
be compromise; duty must be done.
Truth is eloquent, however rude
the Languages in which it may be
couched.
However humble your station in
life. destinyGF nations enters around
your being.
Every American youth should
strive to make his name a syno-
nym of duty, truth, integrity, and
virtue.
Honorable. faithful and efficient
service is the only condition upon
which the world owes any man a
living.
Show me a young man who is
honest and not afraid of work and
/ will show you an honored useful,
and successful man.-Ex.
