present administration the iavorte meth
cd of sendinh the smaller articles to the
White House has been by parcel post.
Larger packages from unknown senders
are always opened at a safe distance from
the executive rooms to provide against
unpleasant possibilities.
Many Kinds of Gifts
Tie nature of the gifts varies in such
way that the President might possess
a good start toward collecting a museum
of curiosities or even establishing 20
olcgical park. Pamphlets and books
enough to furnish a goodsized library
accumulate every few weeks. Just for
the sake of variety a mud turtle, sent
hy admirers on the eastern shore of Mary
land, was found. carefully wrapped, in
the mornings mail one day not long ago.
The reptile had not been harmed in any
way and was Immediately turned loose
in the expanse of the White House
grounds. A vast number OF pamphlets
are received, many OF them autographed
by the authors. They deal with every
subject under the sun, from giving sure
cures for animal distempers to furnish
ing a cure for all social and political
evils, the same being duly guaranteed by
the author. II is remarked by the force
at the White House that many of the
have been printed at the ex-
pense of the authors, which fact is
regarded as sbeing significant.
Photographs also form q goodly bur-
den in the mail of the chief executive.
They are sent with the understanding
that they are to be kept and treasured
by him. Most of them are autographed,

PRESIDENT ELECT WILSON
IS RETICENT AS EVER.

Trenton, N. j. Jan. 80. Presi
dent Elect Wilson permitted him
self to be questioned at grea
length by the correspondents to
day about the makeup Of his Cab
met, aud seemingly en- oyed the
efforts that were made to get in
formation from him. The Coy
ernor, however, carefully avoided
any disclosures.
Asked whether amy names other
than that Of William Jennings
Bryan had been suggested for the
Secretaryship Of State. Mr. VII.
son said:
bout n half dozen. "
p TO the inquiry as to who these
men might be, Mr. Wilson reflect
ed for a moment, but replied that
he did not recall off hand, because
some Of these individuals were
grouped under lists Of names sng-
gesfed for otlfer portfolios as well.
One Of the correspondents asked
Mr.. Wilson if he intended TO APP
point TO his Cabinet men Of prac-
teal experience in public affairs Or
professional men who had not
been IN politics.
"Both sorts are under con
sideration," he answered, and
then added, with a laugh:
"Bit ! certainly am not going
to make up my Cabinet Of college
presidents"
The Governor said he had de
cided to follow the usual course
Of getting acceptances first be
fore announcing his Cabinet. lie
was asked whether he would
make public the acceptances as
they came to him.
"No," he replied, " because
! m really trying to make up Il
team "
He intimated that a possible
declination Of a single portfolio
might make it necessary 10 re-
distribute the entire Cabinet.
Except for the visit Of Repre-
sentative Carter Glass, chairman
Of the House Subcommittee on
Banking and Currency the Gov
'rnor devoted the day to New
Jersey business.
Mr.. Glass gave Mr.. Wilson an
account Of the progress Of the
public hearings before the Bank
ing and Currency Committee.
"Mr. Glass pleased me-" said
the Governor, "by telling me
that the attitude of the big bank
ers who appeared before The
committee was one Of friendly CO.
operation"
While talking about banking
reforms, the President elect re-
casually:

Chicago, that the banking system

BUYING AT HOME.

Loyal citizens should be
Interested in home affairs
The community that is good
enough for us TO live in is
good enough for us to buy in.
II We wish to buy our goods
IN another town, why do we
not go there to liver
Our city is just what we
make It. Therefore we
should not pull it down, but
strive always to build it up.
Every dollar we spend mt
home stays at home
and works for its wei
fare; therefore it is our duty
TO spend most Of our money
III our community.
If we buy at home our
merchants will be more pros
porous and will help 10 make
Ihc cIty prosperous. They
can afford to better the con
dltIons OF their stores aud TO
hire more people to work for
them. Where much labor is
IN demand there, we find u
growing community. People
from nelghboring towns.
Knowing that our town af
lords much labor. will natrr-
ally locate here, Thus our
community will not only be
come more prosperous but
Will also gradually grow in
population.
Our merchants are inter

fairs When i'll luck, be

Their pocket book. if need be
Would foreign merchants do
thIs2 If we should ask a for
cIgn merchant TO donate "a
small amount Of money for
charitable purpose in New
Iberia, he would tell us TO
go to Our home merchants.
Furthermore, our merchants
help III supporting schools,
churches, lodges, and even
our homes. They donate
much money for charitable
purposes. In view of all
these things ought we not 10
show our appreciation by pat
ronizing them2
Our merchants pay their
share Of the town, city and
state taxes. An estimate has
been made to the effect that
merchants Of towns and vii
lagos now pay 30 per cent Of
the taxes, and If the big mail
order stores succeed in dcs-
troyIng this source Of tax
revenue the merchants share
OF the tax must be paid by
us. We are thus deliberately
seeking 10 increase our taxes
by destroying local merchants
through mail order house pat
ronage.
We should believe in trans
acting business with our
home merchants. Have we
not produce Of our own to sell
AMI do we not expect them TO
buy Of us9 Even if we are
not merchants we expect them
to employ us if we ask for
employment.

The most remarkable phase Of
petition No. 2, if we are correctly
informed, Is that the promoters
do not want a town at all if they
cannot have it on the Fejfar land.
This places the entire situation in
