C. ONE of the western 9 Members of Congress
 have been doing excep- tionally good work for their states in relieving the condi- tions of settlers upon lands affected by unusual weather conditions, such as drouths,
 fires, etc., and in securing ex- tensions of payments. This has been particularly the case in Oklahoma, South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming. The disposition of Congress geuer- ally upon such questions can hardly be said to be favorable, but the delegations from the states affected. have empha- sized the needs of their people with such clearness as to be able to secure legislation in several instances, the most recent of which was Ill Okla homa, where extensions have been granted to the settlers in Kiowa and Comanche ceded lands. Representative Taylor of Colorado, joined the forces of Western Members, includ- ing those from Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and the southwest and west, in de manding that extension of payments be given to the homesteaders in reclamation projects. Washington has been filled with visitors from all sec tions of the west during the past winter, whuse plans and interests have been tied up through the dilatory practices of the Reclamation Service, which invariably gives as an excuse for the slow methods in which things are being done, that the amount of money at their disposal is insufficient to proceed more expeditiously.

Why aren't you dancing, Kendall?" Miss Turner ceased her airy gyrations few minutes later to ask.
 Madeline wouldn't" said Kendall.
 Miss Turner looked across the room at Madeline. q don't understand that" she said in a puzzled, disap- proving tone. Madeline loves to dance and she has no partner. Per haps she's tired. Kendall. run and ask Polly. She's not dancing"
 Kendall obediently jumped to his feet and presently was making the prescribed bow to Polly. Mrs. Boyd and Miss Turner, watching them from afar, saw Polly shake her head.
 Now, that's strange" murmured Miss Turner q think it's about time for me to interfere. I know it isn't because the girls don't like to dance with Kendall,'' she explained apolo- 'getically as she started away, 'fbe- cause he's really awfully popular ! Mrs. Boyd was not at all pleased when few minutes after her son returned and resumed his seat beside her
 :. Wouldn't Polly dance with you?' she asked in a restrained tone. i Nope" replied Kendall.
 'T'll speak to Miss Turner about 1t, 7" said Mrs. Boyd firmly. q don't like to make a fuss, but the girls oughtn't to be allowed to behave that way. It's rude."
 | sGAI;se rrrro,- t-rours soid Kendall '"She asked 'em, too.''
 Did they say they wouldn't" per sisted Mrs. Boyd. She was becoming more than annoyed; she was undoubt- edly angry. Little Hottentots!" she murmured to herself.
 "Yes'm," said Kendall, dutifully. | Did they say why?"
 Nom" said Kendall. l Mrs, Boyd eyed the entire feminine contingent with stern disapproval. Rude little creaturesl" she said aloud this time.
 ] Come with me, Kendall" Miss 1 Turner said after a short colloquy with Mrs. Boyd. "I1l find you part ner.'

 Polly let one tiny foot slip to the ground, Then she drew 1t back with look of terror.
 "Oh, please don't make me;P she said, the tears starting to her eyes.
 Miss Turner held out a compelling 1 hand. "Come!" she said, decidedly.
 q can't" walled Polly. rising and fiinging herself into Miss Turner's arms "Oh, please don't make me"
 "Wby can't you, dear?" asked Miss l Turner.
 'I mustn't tell" sobbed Polly. Utterly at loss, Miss Turner tried 1 to stop the sobs.

~OYAL citizens should be


 fairs. The community that is good enough for us to live in is good enough for us to buy ip.) II we wish 10 buy our goods in another town, why do we not go there to live? Our city is just what we make 1t. Therefore we should not pull 1t down but strive al- ways to build it up. Every dol lar we spend at home stays at home and works for its wei fare, therefore 1t is our duty to spend most of our money ill our community. If we buy at home our merchants will be more prosperous ana will help to make the city prosperous. They can afford to better the conditions of their store and to hire more people to work for them. Where much labor Is in demand there we find a growing community. People from neighboring towns, knowing that our town affords much labor, will naturally To- cate here. Thus our commu- nity will not only become more prosperous but will also gradually grow in population. Our merchants are interested in all our public affairs. When i'll luck, bereavement or mis- fortune comes, the men we buy of are here with a kindly greeting, their words of cheer and their pocket-books, if need be. Would foreign merchants do this? If we should ask a foreign merchant to donate a small amount of money for charitable purpose in a dis tant city, he would tell us to go to our home merchants. Furthermore, our merchants help ill supporting schools, churches, lodges, and even our homes. They donate much money for charitable purposes. They keep up our weekly newspapers by their adver- tisements. It Is impossible for a newspaper to be alive and vigorous without the aid of our home merchants. In view of all these things ought we not to show our appreciation by patronizing them? Our merchants pay their share of the town, city and state taxes. Au estimate has been made to the effect that merchants of towns and villages now pay 30 per cent of the taxes, and if the big mail order stores succeed iu destroying this source of tax revenue the mer- chants share of the tax must be paid by us. We are thus deliberately seeking to in- crease our taxes by destroy ing local merchants through mail order house patronage. We should believe i'll trans acting business with our home r1nerchantc

Downfall of the
 Strategist

Miss Turner, the dancing teacher, stopped in front of Mrs. Boyd, who had come to enjoy the vision of her son gliding gracefully over the floor, and beamed upon her. Miss Turner laid her hand affectionately upon the shoulder of the unregenerate Kendall, ! who stslked beside her
 "Kendall's doing beautifully, Mrs. Boyd" she said, enthusiastically. He danced with every girl in the class last week. He's really getting to like dancing, and he wants to-"
 She swept away and Kendall pumped into the chair beside his mother.
 Cuff" he growled.
 Mrs. Boyd tactfully ignored this re- mark. They're going to begin danc- ing again" she said, after moments pause. Don't you think you'd better run and get partner?"
 Sure" said Kendall. He stood up and looked about the room with an appraising eye. 'I1l ask Madeline" he announced after careful inspec- tion. He darted across the hall, but returned after 8 short absence and dropped into the chair with sigh.
 Aren't you going to dance?" asked his mother in surprise.
 Madeline wouldn't do it." Kendall explained, briefly.
 "Why not?" Mrs Boyd demanded, bristling materially.
 Didn't say" replied Kendall, gruff- ly.
 Mrs. Boyd glared across at Made line with glare which said plainly, Rude little creature!" but she said nothing.

"Yeth, I will tell, too" It was Dorothy's shrill little voice that sud- denly drowned both Polly's sobs and Miss Turner's murmurings. "'Cause you didn't make me promise before l got the apple and then 1 wouldn't promise at all. Kendall, he gave all the girls two piethes of candy and some of 'em three piethes, Mith Tur- ner, when they wouldn't promith for two, and he gave me a apple, if we'd promise not to ever dance with him, cause he said If the girls wouldn't dance with him maybe his mother wouldn't make him come"

Come with me into the dress ing room, dear, and let's wash your face" she said soothingly. Then she turned to Kendall.
