WHY WEEDS SPREAD.

There are four reasons for the
spread OF weeds. and the first Is
carelessness in allowing them TO
get foOthold when they first ap-
; pear. Second.--The ignorance Of
their habits and manners Of
growth makes it difficult to eX-
terminate them when the field
has become thoroughly infested.
Third. sowing Of impure
seed, particularly of clover, al
falfa and grass seeds, and the
importation OF many in the grain
crop seed we secure from eleva-
tors and seed houses. Fourth
Failure TO keep fences and road
sides free from weeds.
Weeds take up In large quanti-

amount of soil moisture they use.

done at the same time and done right

argument that where any merchant

Will Progressive Party Live?

Will the Progressive Party live? &?
This question has been asked us fire.
quently and we have always frankly
answered that we did not know
But we do not consider that question
nearly as important as, Will the prin-
ciples for which the Progressive Party
stands live? Will the rule of the
bosses be overthrow? viii the trusts
be controlled, so that the capitalist,
the laboring man and the consumer
will all be justly treated? VIII the
alliance between crooked business and
crooked politics be destroyed? Will
the people be allowed to ruler Will
hnInan rights be placed above proper
ty rights? Will human resources be
conserved through an enlarged meas
ure of social and industrial justices
These are the important questions
and we can unhesitatingly answer
that these principles will live.
The important thing for the people
of the country is not what party Sc
cured the passage of certain laws, but
the passage of These laws 1t is not
the name of party but it's principles
that is important.
Some people seem to think that If a
man was once Democrat he must al
ways be Democrat or once Repub-
lican he must always be Republican.
1t would make no difference to these
people if the party did not stand for a
single thing for which it stood when
he joined it, because he once was a
member of that party he must con-
tinue so as long as he lives. This is
an absurd position. Times are chang
ing, we are confronting new condi-
tions and new problems have arisen
which must be solved. Every man
should study these conditions and
these problems and vote for the party,
which he thinks offers the most reason
able solution of the problems.
Some people we fear place party
above principle or country. Let us
stand for principles and not parties
Don't say thing is right simply be-
cause the Republican, Democrat ol
Progressive Party advocates it. Stand
for thing because you think it is
right or oppose thing because you
think 1t is wrong.

Buy at Home.

In his talk at the Boys and Girls
Farm Congress Friday afternoon,
Hon. A. P. Sandles gave excellent
reasons why the people should patron
ize home merchants and not mail
order houses.
He asked the children If Sears & Roe.
buck or Montgomery Ward & Co.
were furnishing anything towards
giving the Farm Congress and re-
ceived the answer no. He told them
that the merchants of Hillsboro were
paying for their entertainment; that
the local merchants paid taxes that
helped keep up their schools, build
their roads and assisted in all mat
ters for the upbuilding and improv'
ment of the county. The big mail
order houses, he said, had no interest
in them except to get their money
and assisted them In no way; that
when their money was paid to these
houses it was gone while If spent with
the local merchants, the local mer-
chants might spend it with them.
He emphasized the proposition that
the prosperity of the home merchants
added to their prosperity and that 1t
was unquestionably to the advantage
of the farmer to buy at home. tie
further said that he had no doubt
but that the farmers received better
value for the money spent with the
home merchants than when spent
( with a mail order house.
! 1t seems 10 us that Mr.. Sandles'
arguments in favor of buying at home
are unanswerable and that his advice
should be followed.
When you are buying of a home
merchant you are not buying pig In
a poke. You see what you are get.
ting If anything is unsatisfactory
the merchant is right here to make
it right. Further than that he often
carries you when you are hard up,
while with the mail order house 1t is
always cash.
The local merchant helps you builo
your churches, school houses ano
roads and assists In all public enter
prises, gives you better value for your
money and accommodates you wheI
you need it. The mail order house
takes your money and is done will
you.
4 From selfish standpoint even yor
should buy at home.
