TOO MANY HOLIDAYS.

UNDER the above heading the I'm
ion News, of Baltimore county, prints
the editorial quoted below. The Un-
ion News understood, we presume,
that in this editorial it was stirring
the animals up"-with a vengeance.
Hence our interest in reprinting the
same, for Stirring up" (you know is
good for folks these long winter days,
when we need something to rip and
rear about; elsewise our Information
may become stagnation. AS small
contribution to the avoidance of
which, we herewith hand out the
aforesaid editorial:
"When the United States took pos
session of the Philippine Islands we
found that about one day in three was
legal holiday, most of the occasions
being celebrated in honor of some
more or less well-known saint. This
great surplusage of dies nom greatly
interfered with business and to it
many attributed the lack of progress
which existed under the rule of Spain.
"But we are fast catching up with
the Dons. A few years ago all the
holidays generally observed were
Christmas, the Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving Day. Now their num-
Der is legion, and in addition the Gov
ernor is empowered to name as many
special days as he may see fit. The
Governor, however, seldom exercises
his prerogative, and then only when
some bankers and brokers', weary
with four or five hours work a day
handling other peoples money, ask
him to include a Saturday when a
regular holiday falls on Friday, so
they may have a weekend of four
days.
awe have an abundant sympathy
with children, and a good deal for tea
cheers, but we think it is going lit
tie too far to give two full weeks holi-
day in our public schools for Christ
mas. The teachers are paid for the
at the time when the pupils are doing
their best and most important work.
People now living can remember when
school children received Christmas
Day only as holiday, and the leap
was considered great one when the
respite from school stretched from
the day before Christmas until New
Years Day, inclusive. If it is desired
to shorten the school year it would be
better to take the surplus from the
fag end, when the weather gets warm,
the children are worn out and it is
far better for them to be out of doors
than in a stuffy school room"

1.-THE above statement from Mr..
Lawrence is an interesting one and
worthy of all consideration. 1t does
not, of course, offset however our ar
gument for patronizing the local mer-
chants through whose payments of Ii
censes and taxes much of our govern
mental machinery is made possible
and on whose employment of labor
much of local WELFARE depends. When
the local merchants become as alert
and aggressive in advertising and
pushing their business, as the Mail
Order Houses are, we imagine they
will be just as valuable customers of
such valuable manufacturing plants
as the Elk Mills companies. Mr.. Law
rence's phrase in the above letter,
"their system of advertising reaches

some people that retailers never get
in touch with" points the very moral
we are trying to emphasize to our To-
cal merchants. They-the retailers
must get in touch with the people or
the mail order houses are going to
drive them to the wall. Meanwhile,
we want to thank Mr.. Lawrence for
his letter. 1t is just such thrashing
out of important questions that brings
us to the final rightful understanding
of them.-Editor of the Whig.]

Dear Sir:-I have read your edi-
torial entitled Forty Thousand Dol
lars Yearly out of This County to the
Mail Order People, and | will say that
/ cannot for the life of me understand
how you figure this out. You have
lost sight of one fact entirely and
that is this: where do the mail order
people buy the goods they sell? 1t
can be easily answered right here in
Cecil county they buy thousands of
dollars worth yearly.
One Mail Order House from Sept.
8, 1913, to November "a, 1918, gave
us $17,S2300 worth of business and
we sell to more than a dozen houses
that sell by mail; so you can imagine
how much of their money comes into
this county.
There are also two other mills here
who | feel almost confident receive a
large share of the Mail Order peoples
business and between the three mills
you can easily figure out how much
work it gives to people in this county,
so your statement ("none of them has
any work for your is radically
wrong, as they positively do supply
us with lots of work here at Elk
Mills, Nd, and sometimes they give
US more than we can handle.
have often heard it said you would
get the business anyhow through the
retailers if Mail Order people did not
handle your goods. | grant you might
get part, but their system of advertis-
ing reaches some people that retailers
never get in touch with, and if they
only get $40,00000 out of this county
they spend great deal more than
this for the purchase of upholstery
fabrics right back again and | assure
you we are very we'll pleased with the
business we have done with the Mail
Order Houses and would not like to
lose them as customers, as they buy
in volume and you know yourself this
counts when it comes to shipping
goods.

War gives men license to do what

They resort to all kinds of meanness
not to say outright cussedness when
two nations are engaged in war. In
fact there is nothing too mean for
the belligerent to do to the other, and
that is war; A nation with no defences

There has been in the past much
indifferent on the part of consumers
with respect to the cleanliness of
milk; too many of them desire to buy
milk at a low price and do not give
any consideration to quality. Dirty
milk may prove expensive as a gift,
while can milk may be economical
even at a high price: the cheapest
article is often the most expensive. A
higher price for clean milk may be
cheap insurance against some form of
sickness.
In recent Farmers Bulletin (No,

culture has outlined the main factors
that should go to favor the produe-
ton OF clean, safe milk. These include
clean, healthy cows kept in light, well-

After all this is y queer sort of

state of Montana. That this is so any
one VINO noted a trip to Townsend by
several gentlemen prominent in the
republican politics of the city of Hell

WE GAIN FOREIGN TRADE.

serieW with Mr.. M, A. Oudin, manager
of the foreign department of the Cen
eral Electrical company in which it
says:
THE Opportunity before American
manufacturers as Il result of the cur
tallment of European production is one
that concerns all industries. Mr.. Ordin
pointed out that while the stoppage
of European supplies of all kinds is
factor favorable to a great. extension
~of, American trade there are two ad-
verse; factors which have. a very i'm
'peTtant bearing upon the magnitude of
the trade that may be obtained The
first adverse factor is the financial
disturbance which has existed
throughout the world for over year
this economic depression, particularly
i'll South America, has been made
much worse by the war in Europe.
The second adverse factor, which is
of q temporary character, is the dis
location of transportation facilities
which now exists

tions conNinces him that the present
concentrated attention upon our for
eign business is in itself "a potential
factor making for very large for
