Buying Substantial Goods.

One of the principal differences be-
tween retail business in such town as
ours and the business of the great met
ropolitan department store, is the sub
stantial character of the stock which
the home merchant keeps.
The merchant who depends on the
patronage of his tOwnspeOple must keep
his customers satisfied or lose his trade.
He rarely puts an article in his stock
unless it will stand the strain of wear.
The great metropolitan store, on the
contrary, uses an enormous amount of
second grade goods. They have to Of
fer an appearance of unusual bargains
in order to get peapl9 to buy by mail
order, or under the inconvenience of a
great department store. The margin
is not greater than their tremendous
expense for rentals, catalogues and
high salaries. Consequently they give
orders for a selected class of second
grade goods which can be finished to
please the eye, but have serious de-
fects
The tendency to consider price at the
expense of quality has built up the
great mail order houses, but the vogue
that it has given to shoddy goods is one
of the causes of high cost of living
Better buy at home where the merch-
ant will tell you just what an article
is.-ElkhOrn Independent.

Thousands of Dollars Worth of Prop.
erty Destroyed in Peculiar Manner.

Few people of this day and age real
ize the immense amount of property de-
stroyed and the large number of lives
lost in the smaller towns and villages
and in country homes each year by gas
Oline lighting plants exploding.
If one should take the time to scan
the newspapers each day he would be
surprised to learn that more lives are
snuffed out by this one cause alone
than by all the so-called high explosives
put together. The reason is clear.
People who handle high explosives
know and realize their danger, while
the average layman who runs his own
gasoline plant is ignorant of the fact
that he is handling an element quicker
and more powerful than dynamite. He
is told by the concern who sells him the
plant that it is perfectly safe and it is
to the same extent that nitroglycerine
is safe, but, who would want nitro
glycerine to be used with impunity
around his premises?
One of those sad accidents which are
constantly occurring comes to our no
tice in an Associated Press dispatch
and is sufficiently near home to forcibly
impress it on our minds:
''Kewanee, ILL.,, Feb. miss Min
ME Borrows, aged Is, and Mrs. Bor-
rows, aged so, were killed on the farm
of Mrs. H. D. BOrrows, northwest of
here, last night when a private light
ing plant exploded. Mr.. Borrows was
injured severely and the house burned.
The question naturally arises why so
many of these plants are in use. Their
sole excuse for existence is their slight
saving over a safe and reliable method.
The few paltry dollars, which it is a
question if they really save, are held
up against human life and valuable
property. Their owners never realiz-
ing until too late that they have been
harboring menace as uncertain and as
deadly as the scythe of old Father
Time.
