that no police women are wanted in
Wilmington. as suggested by Mayor

needed is more police Of the mascu-
line gender.
There is need of a number Of pa
trolmen," said Chief Black and

EVERYBODY SHOULD BUY AT
HOME FOR TOWN TO PROSPER
Helpful Principles of Reciprocity Ig-
nored by Many Tradesnen-Arsu-
nent Worth Considering.

An earnest plea for reciprocity in
trade Is made in an editorial article
printed in the Agric cultural Southwest
The points made are well worth the
attention of the men deficient in pub
lie spirit who spend their money away
from home without taking the trouble
TO ascertain whether or not the local
merchants can serve them as well as
those Of the outside cities. The ar
ticle reads:
"Grocers In small towns expect that
the good farmers Of the community
shall trade at home rather than at
the catalogue houses in the large far
away city The farmers. too, think
that it is hardly right for the mer-
chants TO send TO some commission
house in a large city for their supply
of potatoes.
Both are right Yet we find farm
ers buying from mail order houses and
merchants often buying from distant
places products Of the farm that might
better be bought ut home. Not alone
this. but how many engaged in the gro
Gerry trade overlook the Importance OF
buying furniture, clothing. jewelry anC
other things from their brother mer
chants at home? How many in the
| furniture and hardware business bu!
groceries from some distant house
How many Of them buy their clothing
! from other than home stores?
AT an implement dealers conven
ion in one OF the. western states tn,
catalogue house competition was beini
considered One Of the delegates wa
strong in condemnation Of those wiz
bought implements from the mail or
der houses. He happened TO throw hi
fur lined overcoat over the back of
chair. and plain to be seen was tn
label of one Of the noted catalogu
houses OF Chicago Still he had tn
audacity to appear in a state CONVEX
ton and criticise the farmers VIII
bought farm implements from the sam
concern from which he had purchase
his overcoat instead of buying it fror
his home store. Thus we find the hell
ful principles of reciprocity ignored b
many inconsistent tradesmen.'
