PLEA IS
MADE FOR TRADING
WITH HOME FOLKS
BUSINESS MAN GIVES SOUND
REASONS Why WE SHOULD
FAVOR LOCAL DEALERS.
GENTLE hint TO ADVERTISE
Must Not Keep Their Light Hid Un-
der BusheI II They Expect to Get
In the Ranks Of the Progressive
and the Up-to-D Date.

Permit me to commend the stand
that The Herald has taken for home
Industry and home institutions
said prominent BUSINESS man OF
the city this morning, who, by the
way, is not engaged in the mercan-
tile business.
1T ought to be an easy matter to
convince the people of this communi-
ty that they are standing in their
own light when they do not buy at
home. Take the merchants. They
help to pay our taxes, to support our
institutions, to build OR churches
and schools and roads and bridges.
The more prosperous they are the
more money they will have to spend
in the community and the more mon
ey spent in the community the more
prosperous all the folks living there
in will be.
And my plea is not alone for the
merchants. There are number of
enterprises in the city that do work
and that make products that are Just
as good as are made elsewhere.
Take the -four mills, for example.
Why not buy flour at home? It ia
made largely from home grown
wheat. The more -four we buy from
the local mills. the more they will
have to make, and the more fiuor
they make the more hands they must
employ. And that wiil Increase the
wage roll OF the city and will make
for the general advancement Of the
community.
Again why should we send our
laundry away to Nashville? We have
laundries here and they do good
work, that Is it is satisfactory to me
and to large number of others.
You may say that few cents week
spent for laundry is small thing.
And it is, but in the aggregate it
amounts to considerable sum.
Every dollar spent away from here
that can be spent at home rs drain
on this community. 1t adds to the
wealth of those who absolutely con-
tribute nothing to our local advance
ment.
Il have merely mentioned a few of
our industries. There are others
and want to make tho same plea
for them that have made for those
which have been mentioned. or
course | realize that there are mills
and industries in the CITY that keep
their lights under bushel, that is
they do not give any publicity
through the press to their wares and
for that reason many folks cannot
be blamed for giving to those who.
10 advertise, at the same time there
s little excuse for going to Nash.
vile to trade.
Il believe that If home industries,
mills and factories and merchants
would advertise and show the people
what they have and impress upon
The people their duty to trade at
lome that it would help the crusade

and Bryan. We rejoice at the bright
prospects in the nation for the sue.
cess OF genuine democratic princi.
pies and we congratulate the party
upon the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for president and Thos. r.
Marshall for vice president and we
pledge them our hearty support in
their great mission to restore this
government to the rule of the people.
Z We realize that the people of this
county are vitality interested in the
government Of their state. That gov
ernment which is nearest home is the
government which interests the peo-
pie m0st. And we cannot nave good
govssnmenf Eitpout the impartial,
Just and fair enforcement Of the laws.
This is the paramount issue in Ten
nessee. We believe that every law
should be enforced. In that way only
can the people be guaranteed the pro-
lection Of life, liberty and property,
the great objects for which govern.
ments are instituted among men.
Especially should the laws design.
ed for the suppression of vice and
crime and for the promotion of tenn
peranee, sobriety and civic righteous
ness be rigidly enforced. Officials who
observe their sacred oaths and enforce
these laws are deserving the highest
commendation from all good citi-
zens. We most heartily approve and
commend the action of Sheriff Cod
win, Attorney General FrIerson, City
Attorney Dedman and City Marshal
Mclean and the other officials who
co-operated with them, upon their
determined stand against the illicit
liquor traffic in Maury county. Their
course deserves to be SIMULATED by
every other official in Tennessee.
And we do hereby pledge them our
active support and cooperation in
their holy crusade against vice and
crime.
We believe in temperance and the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic in !,
Tennessee. We are unalterably op-
posed to the repeal OF the temperance
laws merely because the lawless liq.
uor interests have refused to obey
them AS Tennesseans, proud of the
history of our state and jealous Of it's
lair name, we will never consent to
make a cowardly surrender to the
live keepers and rum sellers Of Nash
ville and other cities where recreant
ind faithless officers allow them to

ives. To repeal laws merely be-
'ause those whose business
is to break all laws demand their

World that free government in Ten
essee is failure. That we are IN.
Killing to make.
We denounce the existing back

cen oppressive upon the people, ex-

WHAT POOR ROADS COST.

1t is estimated by J. e. Pennybacker,
jr, secretary Of the American Asso-
citation for Highway Improvement,
hat $780, 900, 900 would be saved to the
United States this year-if the pres
ent record-breaking crop could be
hauled to market over first class
roads.
At present only s per cent of the
highways Of the United States are inn
proved. Within a few years, Mr..
Pennybacker says he expects to
see at least 20 per cent Of the high
ways improved. The main highways
of the nation make up about 20 per
cent of the total highway mileage.
Mr.. Pennybacker estimates that the
$3.50, 900, 900 loss in hauling cost over
bad roads would improve $4,000 miles
of highway. Consequently in five
years 100000 miles of highway-which
is equal to the entire mileage of i'm
portant main roads-could be put in
good condition with the money lost
through poor roads.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR.
TO NATURAL COLOR.
BY COMMON GARDEN SAGE A SIM.
PIE REMEDY FOR DANDRuFF,
FALLING, FADED, GRAY HAIR.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers had dark.
glossy hair at seventy five, while u
mothers are gray before they are fifty.
Our grandmothers kept their hair soft
and glossy with a Sage Tea" which
also restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making 1T.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company Of New
York, who has placed on the market
a superior preparation of Sage, com
bined with Sulphur and other valuable
remedies for dandruff, itching scalp.
and thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on it's rich, sven shading than any
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
d few days: and don't be tormented
with dandruff, itching scalp and loose.

Hair Remedy win quickly correct

A CENTRAL MARKET.

There are two imperative necessities
for rgo- is an auditorium-and
the other is a central market. Both
are of interest to every man and wom-
an in Fargo-whether taxpayers or
not. The former will bring V
tons galore to this city. Each meet
ing means that hundreds to thousands
of dollars are spent. 1t helps every
man in the city. The central market
plan will greatly reduce the cost of
living. In that way it should appeal
to every resident of the city-and to
the poorer classes even more directly
than to the others.
For years attempts have been made
to secure both. On the auditorium
proposition it was found the city had
no authority to issue bonds-under the
existing law-for a building that could
be used for any other purpose. For
that reason the matter is still hanging
fre-and may until a new law is pass
ed by the next legislature.
But there is now in the city treasury

fines. 1t is proposed to convert this
back into the general fund.
It seems to The Forum that it
would be a good idea for the council
to make that $4,000 a nucleus for a
central market proposition. There is
no movement that would tend more to
popularize either the mayor or the
members of the council than to estab-
lish a central market.
The $4,000 that has been raised
from fines will secure a site and may
even do better than that. 1t is a pos
tive certainty there will never be a
time when a site can be purchased any
more cheaply than the present. The
city administration and the members
of the council should give this matter
consideration.

Press Comment

Cando Herald: The movement which
has been launched by the third
or progressive party into American po-
lltlcal history in 1912 was as inevi-
tao!e as the coming of the French rev.
olutton and the sailing of the May
mower. 1t is not born of a thwarted
and defeated political ambition, it is
not a case of the outs wanting lin"
1t is not a movement prompted by re-
Venge. 1t is born out Of a deep-seated
consciousness on the part OF many
Americans citizens that conditions
governing the political actions of both
OF the old parties were not what they
should be, and that there was no re-
llet TO be had or expected from the
controlling forces within these parties.
Relief must come from without new
party must be formed.
In the forming of a new party it is
inevitable that mistakes should be
made and real or seeming wrongs COM
mitted. This fact does not initiate
against or disproye the fundamental
right of the party to exist, nor will it
Lessen or retard its growth in power.
The progressive movement has come to

Whoever its leaders may be, 1t is a
permanent and fixed factor thai must
be reckoned with in the realm of flu

are strongly of the opinion that there
Is no sound or just excuse why my
