A Remedy Suggested

What's the matter with our
country towns and small cities!
Why don't they, as a class,
grow and expand in wealth and
population as rapidly as sur
rounding territory?
A principal reason is that the
country town and the small city
transacts only a fraction of the
business of its territory, the re-
mainder being done with the
mercantile institutions of vari-
GUS large cities.
Another reason is the lack of
support for home industries al
ready established and the fail
ure to establish others to util
ize the raw materials produced
at home.
Both conditions can be rene
died, but a great deal of hard,
intelligent and persistent work
will be required.
There is no better way to en-
courage home patronage than
for home merchants to practice
it by buving in the home town
everything to be had there, in.
stead of patronizing the city
stores for what they do not
happen to carry in their own
stores.
There is no better way to en-
courage home industry than for
home merchants to prefer and
push home products.
These are things that the in
lividual merchant can and
should do, but results will come
quicker from the right sort of
organized effort Omaha Trade

Consistency is such a rare
jewel that only a very few may
wear it. The grocer handling
smoked meats may not adorn
himself with this gem after
having criticized the butcher
for handling canned goods.
The retailer who buys his print
ing out of town, all the while
criticising those who buy mer-
chandise elsewhere, will find
that the consistency jewel does
not match his complexion. 1t

tbs Extfd Session 81 congtess
The extra session d Congreesls,
convened In Washington City
today, and will be a working
political body, in shaping the
future destiny Of the Democrat
ic party. 1t is divided as follows:
House, Dem. 228; Rep. l60; So

Sent, Rep SO, Dem. Al, va
cancv |.
Many marked changes have
taken place in the pcrsor-
atty { the. ,,nngre y 81 zee the
last session. Ia tue House the
Democrats have made a gain of
81 members, and the Republic
cans have lost IS members.
For the first time a Socialist
has been elected to Congress,
coming from Milwaukee.
If the Democrats make good
in this Congress, at the next
election their gains will be gres-
ter, but if they conclude ito
play horse" their late vic tory
will fade away, and the &c. O.
p" will come in to power in
Congress again. We hope the
Democracy has learned wisdom
from sad experience, and will
so conduct public business in
trusted to them as to retain the
confidence of the people. For
over fifty years, the Democratic
party administered the affairs
of this government, and made
of it one of the grandest, and
most powerful governments on
the earth, but in an evil hour,
they divided into partizan cliq-
ues, sections and improper or
g4piz .tion, and thereby lost the
confidence its friends, and for
many years, and like the child
rem of Israel, have been wan
deri 'g in the wilderness for forty
years, but now, they are COM
ing into their own again, and ii
will depend upon their own &C.
tion whether they shall be per-
mitted to enter in and possess
the land. 1t is not men but ac-
ton, not party, but measures
that count, and Constitutional
government, and if one party
cannot give it, the people will
turn to another. "This is a
government Of the people, by
the people, and for the people. :"

Palm Anniversary

We are pleased to announce
the first anniversary of the
Palm Theatre tonight under
the efficient management of G.
C. Pratt. One year ago the
Palm theatre was purchased by
the Pratt Bros, after they had
;een advised to "let it alone
as it never had been a paying
investment. These gentlemen
took charge and after a weeks
redecorating opened the theatre
md from that day until the
present, it has been a very
much so, profitable business.
After a few months Bert Pratt
had to leave this city on ac-
count of his health and sold out
90 his brother, C. G. Pratt, who
mas conducted the theatre
since.
The first photoplay house to
be opened in this city was
opened by a man from Water
loo, la, who merely made ex-
oenses until the Improvement
League of this city took charge
for one week and got several
people in the habit of attend
ing, who never had attended a
picture show. It never paid
him we'll and in a few months
lie sold out the theatre. From
hen until the Pratt Bros,
bought out the theatre it was
not a very profitable business.
1t may be wondered at, why c.
C. Pratt has made it a success?
He runs a strictly first-class
show, shows the best pictures
money can buy and last of all
che understands the business
ne is engaged in" We have
often been in his office in the
mornings, when he receives his
program for the evenings show
and he has every detail sys-
tematized, so that he can tell
just when the film was made,
and whether it is good, or not.
Many times a day, he calls the
General Film Co., of Omaha up
over the phone, rendering,
countermanding orders and in
this way he receives the best
service obtainable. We don't
mean that he is a chronic kick
err, but he makes it a point to
never run the same reel twice.
That's the reason the Palm
theatre has made a success.
For service, clearness of pict-
ures, cleanliness and courtesies,
the patrons of the Palm ars as
sured of. Over $4,000 people
attended the Palm during the
month of March which shows
up very we'll in a town of less
than 1000 population. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pratt have made a host of
friends in this city, both social
ly and in a business way and
we with the rest of the citizens,
hope they will continue to
think Mo. Valley the best town
on the map. How much a line
do we get for this? Not a cent.
Our honest opinion.

The year 1904 witnessed a partial

OF the year was with Henri Jan Josef
