Using of the catalog concern
is designed to appeal to the
cupidity of the reader, and
excite suspicion as to the
honesty of local dealers. The
broad claims of saving made
by mail order houses refute
themselves because anybody
should know that they are not
based upon actual accurate
knowledge of local conditions
and prices which certainly are
not the same in all localities.
By one fell swoop the mail or
der house denounces local re-
tailers as robbers and hoists
itself upon a pedestal as the
only simon pure, honest and
straightforward concern in the
World-and the mail order
buyer believes its statement.
Mail order trade is built large
ly on bluff and brag; it can not
stand the crucial test of COM
parison @price for price and
quality for quality with the To-
cal dealers goods. Most mail
order buyers are NOT proud of
the fact that their greed for
gain causes them to sacrifice
every generous impulse that
is inspired by consideration of
friendship, sympathy and sup
port Of their neighbors and
fellow citizens. Aid in adver-
sity, comfort in sickness and
sympathy in bereament are
given by neighbors and friends
without thought of return: but
ingratitude is sure of it's own
reward at last, aud this fact
is so we'll known that none is
SO mean as willingly to be
called or thought ungrateful.
These are facts that should
determine the policy Of the
local retailer in meeting mail
order competition.

own school in term time requiring
all students to attend. Sometimes
students seek excuses to attend other
schools and then fail to attend any
where. The only students excused 10

live with church-going parents In Be

PLEASING Entertainment

THE Tom Thumb Wedding" given
in the College Chapel, Tuesday even
ing, under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid of the NJ. L. Church, was a very
pleasant affair. Nearly a half hun
dred children of the town less than
a dozen years of age took part, some
being merely representatives more
or less intimate and dear, and
friends of the bride and groom.
The entertainment was gotten up
by Miss Frances McMahr OF Holden,
Mo-, who furnished the costumes and
led in the training of the children.
She was assisted by Miss Grace
Cornelius at the piano. and several
church friends and others helped in
the various rehearsals.
The audience was fairly good
