bering that they never pay a cent of taxes in any of the communities which they flood with their goods, local men ought to have more local patriotism than to patronize them. Then, too, while it is possible oc- casionally to buy some particular article cheaper from a mail order house than can be done of the local merchant, yet experience proves that taking quality service, ac- commodation and other things in consideration, a customer gets bet ter returns from home buying. But there are some people who have the ineradicable habit of buying everything possible away from home. The wise man said that the eyes of a fool are towards the end of the earth" He must have had in mind those people who al ways think they can do better in trading elsewhere than at home.

WOODEN COACHES ARE
 TO BE DISCARDED
Interstate Commerce Commission Will Taboo Them-FigureS in
 New Ravens Last Wreck.

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. l5.-In the investigation which the Inter- state Commerce Commission is making of the recent wreck on the New Haven railroad, the wooden coach question plays an important part. It is understood that a num- Der of such cars are in use and the conditions under which they are employed will figure largely in the testimony and that it will be sought to show how much delay and eX- pense would be really necessary as a minimum if the road were anN- ious to do its best in equipping it. self There is a good deal of ground for the demand for improved equip ment, but that is a matter already very thoroughly covered as far as the public is interested by former inquiries. There is also serious doubt as to the standards of discip- line enforced upon employes-a question quite as vital to safety in travel as the best equipment.

Best Men May Be Bad Husbands.

Of course, the conventional way to answer this question is to say to a girl: My dear, marry a man who is honest and honorable, who neith- CT drinks nor swears nor plays poker, and who belongs to the '. M. C. A., and goes to church every Sunday, and you will be happy ever after"
 Unfortunately, this isn't true. Some of the best men on earth are the meanest husbands. Many a man who never says anything stronger than "Oh, fudge" can grouch for six weeks at a stretch. Many a man who has moral principles that are as impregnable as the Rock of Gi- braltar is as hard and cold as the said rock. Many a man who is as honest as the day is as close as a steel trap, and has to be chloro- formed before he can be pried loose from a quarter. Many philan- thropist is so busy promoting the welfare of the world he has no time to devote to making his own home happy.-Dorothy Dix in Pick ing Husbands.

F. J. Graves, who represents a large St. Louis wholesale house, was in Mena Monday. Mr. Graves territory embraces Kansas, Okla homa, Arkansas and Louisiana, and he has recently visited almost ev- cry portion of the radius he is sup posed to cover.

In some of the places in those states the crop failure is complete-not anything surviving the drouth. But through this country, and especially around Mena, conditions are at least fa- vorable for over a half crop. I have always liked Mena, and it is my in- tention to bring my family here next year for the summer"
