HOME TRADE is A DUTY.
The Place Where a Man Lives IS
Place Where He Should Buy.

A case in point illustrating the
benefits of home trade to the town
itself has been told 1t is a subject
that permits of elaboration. 1t was
told how town with the home
trade spirit forged away ahead oil
neighboring town which obtained
its merchandise from the mail or
der houses The advantage of trad
ing at the home shops was made
plain and now a word on the sub
ect of home trade as a duty that
every citizen with the welfare OF his
particular community at heart owes
to that community Probably h
himself is obliged to earn his living
in that town If so no argument
should be needed to convince him
that home trade is so much his duty
that if he is patron of the mail
order houses instead he does not
deserve a livelihood from the pa
tronage of his neighbors.
Take the man who earns his
bread and butter in another town
or city. In spite of that fact it is
his duty too, to patronize the home
stores They are doing business
where he has established his home,
where he casts his vote at election
time and where his children are go
ing to school. He most certainly
owes that town something besides
his taxes.
OF course fair treatment by the
storekeeper should be expected. and
usually he is shrewd enough to ac
cord it, On the other hand. the
thousands who have to their sorrow
bought "a pig in the bag from 4
mail order house know that dis
lance lends enchantment-to the
view the mail order house takes Of
the matter. A home merchant can
not very we'll go behind his an
nouncements in the local papers.
while the mail order houses can
and do make all kinds of offers N
their city apers. knowing full well
the best satisfaction defrauded
customer i'll a remote town can get
is to write a letter of protest.
which goes into the waste basket
This DEPRESSION from the subject
of home trade as a duty IS merely
to call attention TO the fact thar
there are more spurious bargains
advertised by the mail order houses
than genuine ones.
Home trade as duty ought to
be a town slogan. 1t should be
practiced and preached by every
man and woman identified with the
best interests OF the town they call
their home

THE SMALL MINE OWNER.
He Should Give Capital Fair Chance
to Invest and Develop.

The greatest fault with the average
small mine owner lies in the fact that
/ he is inclined to demand an eXtortion
ate price for his claims, or to insist on
terms that few bonding interests care
| to accept Particularly is this true
when the claim adjoins rich mine, or
! is located in district of proved great
! ness. On this account hundreds OF
prospects are lying dormant today
that might otherwise have been con
tributing their treasures to the wealth
of the world. This tendency to over
value mining claims has assisted in
keeping many meritorious districts in
the background, and the sooner the
owner manifests disposition to meet
the bender or buyer on fair basis,
the better will it be for the mining i'll
dustry.
When bonding company desires to
secure control of an improved proper
ty and finds the owner demanding ex-
tortionate terms, the chances are that
its representatives will retire from the
district, Disguised with the narrow
spirit exhibited by its residents For
no company will pay large amounts in
cash and agree upon exacting terms
unless the property has been develop
ed beyond the prospect stage. The
wise owner realizing this promptly
comes to terms with the concern max
ing the first favorable offer He does
not give his property away; far from
it: but he does meet the capitalist half
way. The bonding of prospect means
that the interested people must ex-
pend considerable amount of cash
in explorations and developments, AMI
not uncommonly it is necessary y
erect costly hoists install pumps and
other equipment And if the terms are
not attractive at the outset the bonl-
ers will seek elsewhere for what they
desire To court investment in the
district, the mining residents must
present compelling attractions
But when the merit of the properly
is already demonstrated: when the orc
reserves are comprehensive and prof
its good when the value of the mine
is a proved certainty; then it is little
short of of criminal foolishness for the
owner to permit himself to be despoil
ed by interests that only serve to cast
reflections upon the greatest industry
oil them all And when bond and
option are sought, the owner owes ii
to himself to see that he is protected
and that his mine is passing into the
hands of those able and willing to
work it TO the best advantage of all
concerned Mining World.

SOLD LIQUOR TO INDIANS.
Frank Bailey Arrested Thursday At
ternoon When Caught In the Act.

Caught in the act of furnishing
Indians with two TASKS of whiskey,
Frank Bailey, stranger in the city.
was arrested by Officer Bursley at
2:30 yesterday afternoon. He was
at once taken before Judge Simons,
waived preliminary examination and
was bound over to the grand jury.
Bailey was dealing with some In
dams who came in from Lake George
yesterday with two wagon loads of
blueberries. The Indians received
$3.50 a bushel for their fruit at local
stores and as they had thirty-six
bushels to sell had plenty of money
when ready to go home. Word was
received at police headquarters that
they were getting liquor and Burs-
ley was sent out on the case.
Bailey was caught in the act of
handing two TASKS of whiskey to
William Butcher, an Indian from the
Leech Lake reservation who is at
Lake George for the blueberry season.
Butcher was educated at Carlyle and
was accompanied by fifteen year
old son who has just returned from
five years at the government school at
Flandreau, S. D. The Indians left
for their home last night and said
that they would be in the first of
next week with more berries. The
berries were bought by local mer-
chants.
