nothing for the support and building
I'D of the farm community. He would
be highly insulted if you asked him
to contribute to any church or charita-
BILE movement of your community and,
unlike your local merchant, he never
has to go down in his pocket to help
bury the poor of the community or to
buy coal and provisions for the widows
and orphans. You pick up his catalog
or his circular and he tells you he will
do more for you, for certain amount
of money, than your retail merchants,
and that is backed by nothing more
than little printing on a piece OF
paper.
Did you ever stop to think what
tremendous expense the mall order
houses incur in telling you about the
goods they have to sell? Let me give
you Just one example Of big mall
order house in the country. Last year
it sent out 100000 catalogs. THESE
catalogs cost, by the time they reached
YOU. Mr.. Farmer, 81 each. In addition
TO that. the company sent out circulars,
snecial price sheets and did adveTtls-
ing in magazines and papers that
amounted to at least $3,000,00O more.
Now. they did over $60,000,OOO worth |
If business, and their advertising alone
cost them nearly 10 per cent OF the
-otal amount of their business. Add
o this the cost of the tremendous
orce of people they have working 1or
hem in their home office and numer-
ms branch offices, which would make
mother 10 per cent, and yet they MADE
nrofit of close to $10,0O0,00O.
Do YOU know what this means? lhls
1eans that it cost there people an
verage of at least 20 per cent to do
usiness, and in addition they made
rofit of nearly 1872 per cent. In or

Victim of Burglars.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-The home of
]. P. Morgan, Jr., at 231 Madison ave
nue., was entered by burglars some
time between midnight Thursday night
and early Friday morning A consid-
cradle number of articles of jewelry
were stolen. The money value Of the
articles is said to be at least $4,000 or
$1,000, and is much less than their
historical and sentimental value to
their owners, and every effort is be-
ing made by the detective bureau I'M
der Deputy Commissioner Dougherty,
formerly with the Pinkertons, to find
the loot.
The family was in the house at the

STOCK RAISING GOES
In HAND WITH GRAIN

SPOKANE, Jan. 30-James Ken
nedy of Fargo, owner of one of the
original bonanza farms in North Da-
kota, who is interested with the Fife
brothers in the construction of a
sewerage system in Spokane, said in an
interview here today that the day of
exclusive wheat farming is passing
rapidly. He added:
STOCK growing in conjunction with
CREAM raising yields larger and more
satisfactory profits, and at the same
time it improves the land. The farm
ers in the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington are taking up
mixed farming with vigor and 1 think
the time is not far distant when there
will be cows, pigs, horses and other
animals also poultry, on almost eve
ry ranch"
Mr.. Kennedy said that on his farm,
which was formerly known as the
Leech ranch, he has $50 head of high |

grade Shorthorn cattle and 40 Perch
eron brood mares, in addition to the
regular crops. The reason the Leech
heirs failed to make the farm of 5000
acres pay is because they confined
their operations to wheat
There are exceptional opportun-
tiles for diversified farming all over
the Northwest" Mr. Kennedy said.
"The rich lands have yielded fortunes
to many tillers of the soil, but there
is every reason to think that the fu-
tDre is even brighter than the past.
The resources Of the western country
are almost unlimited and there is room
for thousands of ambitious earnest men
and women.
Our cities are growing rapidly and
as this expansion continues will come
the development Of industrial and com
mercial enterprises possessed of
wealth. and this in turn will mean an
even greater demand for farm products
than exists at the present time"

spigot and no corporation can COM
pete with such an organization in any
business"
Organization that develops instead
of sitting individual initiative is the
kind that is invincible. If all the peo-
pie of this community organize and
unite to build it up no influence can
withstand their power If all the mer-
chants of this town watch the spigot"
no mail order corporation "can com
pete with such an organization as this
in any business"
Buying by mail is an unnatural and
an unsatisfactory method of buying. 1t
violates substantially all the laws of

commerce. Just why so many peo-
pie do it is the one thing the merchants
of this town want to know. If the fault
lies in themselves or in their methods
they should be as quick to overcome
the fault and reform the methods as
if the blame were elsewhere. A little
self examination may throw some light
on the subject.
is low prices; the mail order buyer
makes the same claim. Are they right?
Some, perhaps all, of our merchants
will say that, quality considered, they
give better value than the mail order
house.

SQUARE DEAL" IN RETAILING.

In recent issue of Farm Sense, al
agricultural paper published at Des
Moines, Iowa, the editor devotes g
page to the square DEAF as relating
to the citizens and retailers of com
munity. This article is in part as fol
lows.
In the beginning let me say to you
that 1 have no quarrel to pick with
a mail order concern that transacts
business on the square. On the other
hand, | have no excuse to offer for
a retailer who defrauds his customer,
but | want you to know that | stand
for the community and for that COM
munity's interest, and for that reason,
l believe that, all things being equal,
it behooves you, Mr.. Reader, to do your
share in building up that community.
You know, and know, that the mer
chants of your home town, with few
exceptions, are honest, painstaking and
careful business men; in many, many
instances they are your neighbors and
your friends, and are entitled to liv- !
ing in this world and some of The
good things, too, provided they get
them honestly and fairly. And re-
member that there are taxes to be paid
for the maintenance of roads and the
building and support of schools; and
without exception, the business men
and the owners of city property al
ways pay their share in taxes for the
support of these things in commun
ity. This is not true of man who {
a mail order business even if {
it is conducted on the square, and let !
ne say to you, and let me say it with c
,ut fear of contradiction, mail order I
houses can not and will not sell you G
IN article, quality considered, any fl
heaper than your local merchant can n
md does sell it.
Now want you to forget your preju S
lice against your local town if you n
ave any, for few minutes, and let us
ak about the fellow who is bidding N

Andrew Carnegie knows something
about business and the principles up
on which business success depends.
The great cry about the domination
of corporations has blinded some peo-

said that he made all of his partners
