A group or men ana women, Known
as the Consumers club, met in Lam
caster Friday evening to discuss topics
of interest to the growth and prosperi-
ty of Lancaster. One of the mem
bers of the club said that judicious
and liberal advertising, backed up by
the policy Of educating people to
talk up their home interests, to en-
courage home enterprises and to buy
goods at home was a certain, sure and
speedy way Of increasing Lancaster's
prosperity. This statement was en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed by a large
majority of the club members.
Elder Small, Col. Force and Mrs.
Hi Splurge, however, had a nebulous
idea that they could get certain goods
cheaper from the catalogue houses or
the larger cities. Their claims were
not justified by the facts, and they
were shown that, quality considered,
they could save money in every case
by buying at home.
Among those present was Deacon
John Fearem, one of the town s
honorable and respected pioneer bust
ness men, who found it difficult to
adjust himself to present day condi-
tions.
Everybody knows John Fearem, p"
he was fond of saying. ''And it ism t
necessary for me to advertise. He
also thought it very unwise to tell
the truth about the harm the catalogue
and mail order houses of the cities
were doing to the country generally.
Why, said Deacon John Fearem,
you only advertise EN- You see
that John was certainly wrong in his
conclusions.
Judge Mutchlau took exception to
John Fearem s statement. Deacon,
said the judge, when we hold
revivals in our church and &C after
the devil hard, and fight sin and mi
guilty, are we or are we not helping
the cause of morality and of religion
Did we ever win a political contest
by keeping quiet over the shortcom
ings and misrepresentation of our
opponents2 I reckon not. Are we
purging congress, our state legisla-
lures and our city councils of dis
honest and incompetent members by
shutting up like a clam and never
voicing our disapproval from the
housetops9 It is agitation and
publicity that accomplish reforms,
deacon.
We business men have every
advantage that could be asked or
desired over the catalogue houses.
We sell better goods for the money.
We have our goods here for inspection.
We are here on the spot to correct er-
COrs. We save all long waits and
annoyances. and we extend accom-
mOdations impossible with the mail
order dealers. Be we must advertise
more and tell the buying public fully
and truthfully what we can do for
them and what the catalogue houses
will do to them by draining the COM
munity of its life blood. The dis
semination of the truth never yet hurt
a just cause, and the showing up of
the great evil which even the honestly
conducted mail order business is to
any community, will do much good
to any person who wants to see his
town prosper. -

days ago, said Parson Greatheart' S
wife, assisting our daughter to
select d bookcase. We decided on the
Gum sectional book case, because
other sections may be added, and yet
the beauty and symmetry of the book
case will be retained. In looking
over Goble & Dyer's excellent stock
of furniture it occurred to me how
very many really useful articles could
be selected from their store. I saw
beautiful articles of furniture of
every kind, Gum book cases, bed

THE Union State Bank is Offering
Grant County taxpayers an unusual
opportunity for an absolutely safe in

"These bonds are in $500 and 81, 900
denominations, bear AZ per cent in
terest, are exempt from taxation, and
furnish absolute security to the
citizen or farmer who has $500, or
81, 900, or more to invest. He can

bonds are payable at the Office of the
county treasurer in Lancaster. The
Union State Bank will collect and
remit both principal and interest
without charge to Grant county tax
payer of the county at exact cost.
The Union State Bank does this in
the interest Of the growth and
prosperity of the county and to aid
in fastening the construction of a
necessary county improvement -
''The Union State Bank of Lancas-
ter does my banking business, said
we'll known Grant county pioneer
farmer. II have done business with
this bank for more than so years. My
business with them in the early days
consisted largely in borrowing. And
to their broad minded and accom-
modating policy I am indebted large

wanted to buy an additional 40 or so
acres, this bank let me have what
money l needed and allowed me to
pay in installments, thus reducing
the interest, as we'll as the principal.
I am gratifed to know that the Union
State Banks business has developed
and kept pace with the grown and in
creased prosperity of the community,
and il is recognized as a rock of
financial strength wherever known.
They accord all accommodations con-
sistent with safe banking principles
