using the advertising columns OF pub
locations of general circulation, such
as farm papers, etc. They can not
get their advertising into the local
newspaper at any price-and the To-
cal paper is far and away and many
times proven, the very best advertis-
ing medium, price considered, in ex-
istence. Therefore, why should the
merchant have anything to fear? He
will not if he has the wisdom to take
advantage of his opportunities. He
sells better goods, just as cheaply-
and often at lower price than the
mail order house, and the purchaser
can see the goods before paying for
them. He can also bring them back
if they don't suit him after he gets
them
Therefore we can see no reason
why we should rail against the mail
order house, as such.
Neither do we intend to scold the
pSOplS WIZ III OIl1LC I4IO1ll.
1t is all up to the local merchants
themselves. They can kill the mail
order trade in their territory if they
take full advantage of all the oppor
tunities which they have and which
the outside concern can not enjoy.
There are few merchants in ev-
cry town who are doing their full
share and more to retain and build
up the business Of the community.
but there are often many who are
doing nothing, and complaining be-
cause business does not come to them
as they think it should.
The newspaper is glad to cooper
ate to the fullest extent to build up
the business of the community, but
it has a right to expect those most
vitality interested to do something to
help Hutchinson Leader.

HARD ON ALL OF Us

TINE Austrian-Servian war is GO
ing to be particularly hard on
= the National Association Of
Newspaper Readers. No sooner have
Americans studied their maps of Mex
leo and learned to pronounce Villa
and Coahuila and Carbajal, then they
are asked to throw the whole sub
ject into the waste basket, and be-
gin all over again.
Where is Servia, anyway? How
many honest souls have privately
asked themselves this question today :?
It's many moons since we thumbed
the pages of that wonderful geogra-
ply book, and learned that China ex-
ports silk, and that the Capital Of
Maine is Augusta on the Kennebec
River.
But Servia? Do the Servians know
how to bound Minnesota? Do school
boys today know more than their
fathers did? In a word, can any Of
them bound Servia? If so, let them
not be bashful, but speak up, for the
atlas is heavy.
So let's begin all over again. How
do you pronounce Kraguyvatz? And
who put the guy in t?-Minneap-
oils Journal.

heaving a sigh, she said, sadly: my
| life is Just round of the same duties,
and seems to be wholly fruitless." 1t
was his time now, and looking up
cheerily, he said: "Not SO, my dear.
Do you see that tree over there, that
noble oak? Well, it has stood there
these many years, more than you and
I can tell, and its life has been most
wholly without variety. Each sum-
mer it is crowned with foliage and
then each autumn the winds sweep
it all away. But the birds sit there
and sing, the cattle gather under it
on sultry days and children collect
about it to picnic on their holidays.
| There is nothing of all that there
now, but what help has the old
tree been, and how many pleasant
things could be told about it-how
noble object it is, also, in the wintry
landscape"
The parable was not without its
meaning.
The good mother returned the smile
of the benignant father, and together
they sang at their family worship of
the loving kindness of the Lord.

NOT FRUITLESS

4 man who has spent busy year
~ sits down for a little retro
spect. He falls into a moody
frame, and in tone of regret says:
Il have worked all the year through,
but there is hardly anything to show
for it; my work has had no perma-
hence"
But good spirit was beside him
and she said: my dear, do you re-
member those flowers that grew right
out there? Those roses, petunias,
heliotropes, geraniums, and most of
all that beautiful lilium auratum
Well, they are all gone. Not one of
them had any permanence, you can
not even find a stem to tell that they
existed. And yet they were beauti-
full while they lasted, filling the air
with fragrance, pleasing the eye of
all who saw them, and they are re-
membered still by many persons to
whom they were messengers of gentle
ness"
And the moody shadow seemed to
break away from his brow, giving
place to a smile and an air of salts
faction.
But later, IN the day. after all the
work was done, and she was weary,

MERCHANTS OPPORTUNITY

THE Leader is frequently fur
nished with long articles clipped
from various publications pur-
porting to be arguments against the
patronizing of mail order houses.
These are generally furnished US by
nervous merchants who are afraid
the mail order house is going to get
all the business away from them We
seldom print any such articles for
the reason, that they serve as free
advertisements for the same mail or
der houses, and as we do not accept
paid advertising from these outside
concerns, we can see no reason for
Requests for the publication of ar
ticles attacking the mail order houses
generally-not always-come from
men who are not doing anything to
advertise their own business, and are
not making any use Of the splendid
opportunity afforded them by the ad-
Vertlslng columns OF the local news
paper.
The way to combat the mail order
house is by using their own methods
by advertising. The local merchant
who can not hold his own against
Twin City or Chicago competition
when he is right on the ground, has
the advantage of personal contact
with his trade, and has the opportu-
nifty to make extensive and exclusive
use of the columns of the local paper
which goes to and is carefully reaC
every week in every home in his ter
ritory, can not expect to succeed IN
der any circumstances.

the Lords remembrance keep not

To watch the mills or shops, given

in time OF danger by fire or theft,

study the word and the world today,
and sound the alarm in time of
danger, things coming upon this
earth, and the word of God is sure
and fulfilling to the letter today.
Some say they cant believe the
Bible, it contradicts itself, does it?
Lets see. In Creation the Father
and son created all things, even an

Jesus was first, the son of God,
and was God, the first begotten of
God, proof. Gen. ], 20. Let us
make man in our image, and before
sin entered the garden OF Eden, man
and woman talked with God and saw
Him face to face. After sin entered,
no man could look upon God and
live. So the old testament scrip
lures show that Jesus was living
personal being at that time as truly
as when He became a man upon
earth. Il viii call your attention
