pATRONIZlNG HOME INSTITUTIONS.

In our twenty-five years of news paper experience we have heard lot about the duty of the people to pa, tronize home industry. and we have
 advocated it. too. The theory is cor rect and there is no doubt that if generally practieed the result would be all that is claimed for it, as money kept at home and in circulation oene JUS most everybody in 8 community;
 but unfortunately, C good many peo- pie who advocate buying at home don't practice it themselves. The ques- ton has become of vital importance to the local merchants. with the adep- tiCn and growth of the parcels post and especially to the small storekeeP
 CT. The mail order business in this
 country is growing at a surprising rate. and there is agitation to nave the minimum weight of package that can be sent by mail increased and the rates charged for the service re- duced. which would make it stili hard CT for the country merchant to hold his trade in competition with the big mall order concerns of the cities. One of the principal reasons why .eclpe come to Arizona 10 live from ether states and countries is that there are more opportunities for profitable employment here than in most other parts of the world. and conditions are ctter for all classes. Many who re ceive generous wages here would not re able to earn more than half a.
 much elsewhere. and they should rec ognizs the moral obligation, at least to give support and encouragement to
 the local business concerns who are in many ways an important factor for
 the support of the government and in
 ma king the town a pleasanteT place in which to live.
 Too often the business man fails
 to recognize the obligation which he
 himself owes to other business inter
 ests in the community and is only concerned for his own personal sue
 cess. This fact is often impressed upon
 the printer. and more particularly the publisher Of the local newspaper. T'ho perhaps has spent the best part of his life in an earnest endesvor 10 advance
 the interests of the town and district and has received but meager remun- eration and oft-tjmes sesnt recognition for his services. The obligation of sup porting home industries rests upon tho business man as well as on the geH- |
 eral public. The merchant who sends away for printed stationery that the
 local print shop could furnish, and
 who pays money to nonresident
 agents for advertising schemes that are often worthless. has no cause for
 complaint if people send to Los An
 geIes. Chicago or elsewhere, for mer-
 chandise because they can save few leeytsl or Jew dollars 1t is. iSoeF Eruse that does not apply to all and
 the only way to keep the money at
 home is for everyone to make the apA
 pIication personal and buy nothing
 abroad that can be obtained at home. I-Giobs Record.

WELCOME TUCSON.

Oh sunday next an excursion com posed Of perhaps one hundred Of the prominent business men of Tucson. some of them accompanied by their wives, will arrive in Bisbee. These exeursionists are scheduled to have lunch and remain in the city for two of three hours. Moan of those who will come here from Tucson are already in, formed by the wonderful progress of Bisbee and know something Of the great advancement due to feature this district in the future, but others will visit the great Warren district for the first time.
 Our local chamber of commerce has commissioned every public spirited cit izen of Bisbee, in addition to the di- Eectorate of the Commercial club, as a committee to extend welcome to the Tucson visitors. This action insures that welcome will be both sincere and enthusiastic.
 Before the Tucsoaites leave BisbeH for Douglas Sunday afternoon each and everywhere should be impressed with these facts:
 That Bisbee is the best city in the Southwest
 That in the Warren district five thousand names appear on the psyrnlls of the several operating miEing com panies.
 That in this district there is more money per capita than in any city in the Southwest and that more money is paid monthly to wage earners than in any other city in the state.
 That Bisbee has many splendid schools. handsome church buildings many prominent lodge halls and homes: a Y. NJ. c. A. building and near one thousand members of this association: a public library not excelled in the state.
 Then there are our banks overflow ing with money, available for ever5 Iesitimate business undertaking large and well stocked stores where every want may be supplied. professional men of the highest character and aoiI ity.

Bisbee is near the half way point and to go farther would Iequire run of not less than 31-2 hours which would make the arrival at Tue sson late. It is not likely that 1t would be decided to make the stop at Doug las because of the short distance and good road that would invite the racers on to Bisbee before ending the first days work.

The CHURCH HIS BODY
Brief Extract From Dr.. Boards Ser
mon at First Congregational
Church.

DR.. Beard last Sunday morning
spoke on the Importance Of the or
ganized church as the body through
which Christ's spirit expresses itself.
The text was Eph. 1923: The
church is his body"
There is a popular notion that
christianity is a spirit subsisting as a
blessed ghost, and that no visible or
ganization of christians is at all nee
essary. If the early christian martyrs
had so believed what peril and pain
they would have been spared!
Abandonment of church membership
would have saved all the christian
martyrs. There were not burned or
thrown to wild beasts because they
had a new faith which made them
kind and just, and meek and gentle;
but because they would not keep still
about 1t. They insisted on, and per-
sisted in, Assembling themselves to-
gether," and this got them into all
their trouble.
If they had passed on from mouth
to ear their new faith and experience.
without getting together in an organ
ization, nobody would have disturbed

OLD SOLDIER
BADLY INJURED
VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR
STUMBLED OVER AN oBsTRUc-
TIoN THIS AFTERNOON IN
FRONT OF MODEL CLOTHING
STORE AND WAS HURT.

Thomas Crayon, a veteran Of the
civil war, who lives in MinnewaukaH,
slipped and fell over an obstruction
that was standing in front of the Model
clothing store on Broadway, about 2
this afternoon. His head struck post
when he went down. cutting a terrible
cash on the head and rendering the
old man unconscious. He was taken
into the Fout & POrterfield drug store,
where DR.. Kaess rendered the first aid
and after that he was taken in a hack
to the hospital ward at the city hall,
where he will have an opportunity of
resting up and his friends in Mime
waukan will be notified. 1t is believed
that no bones were broken, but he Is
partly paTalyzed and Is in n very
weakened condition.
This obstruction on the street has
long been menace to pedestrians and
there are other distractions on Fargo
streets that are contrary to Fargo or
dinances and should be removed. 1t is
reported that the police will give no
tice that all such distractions must be
removed

n. P. EXPECTS TO
USE own TRACKS
SOME OF THE TRAINS TODAY
ROUTED OVER THE MILWAU-
kEE TO TERRY, MoNT.-WATER
AT MANDAN RECEDINe-BRIDGE
APPROACH SUBMERGED.

1t is believed by the Northern Pa
cthc officials in this city that some
time tonight the main line trains will
be running over the tracks through
Fargo. Trains today were sent from
st. Paul by way of the Milwaukee to
Terry, Mont, which is only a short
distance from Glendive, and at Terry
they are transferred to the n. P.
tracks.
The west approach to the Man
dan bridge has been covered with
water but 1t is stated that the waters
are recedlng and it is believed that by
tomorrow at the farthest it will be
possible to use the tracks. The water
covered the tracks for a mile and a
half. 1t is stated that no trains have
been run into Mandan from Bismarck
since last Sunday and none are ex-
pected until the water goes down
The railroad company has located
several engines and work trains at
this place and in addition have about
500 men ready to get to work as soon
as they are able.
The trouble on the 500 line, on
which there was a wreck has been
cleared away and the passenger trains
which were run over the N. F. yester-
day are now running on their own
line. The Southwestern trains are
running all right and there is no trou-
BILE on that line.
The ticket agent of the Northern
Pacific this afternoon at 3 o'clock tel
ephoned The Forum to the effect that
No. this afternoon would go west by
way of the Milwaukee to Terry and
then on to the N. P. line, but that No.
2 will pass through Fargo late this af-
ternoon over the tracks Of the N. P,
as water at the Mandan bridge has
receded to such an extent as to make
this possible. From then on the trains

line of the road,
