WHAT MAIL ORDERS
COST ONE FARMER
Thrifty German Discovers Too
Late that it Pays to Build
Up the Home Town

Hans Garbus, a German farm
er of Iowa, has discovered that
the benefits which appear on the
surface as attaching to the mail
order plan sometimes spell dis
aster and has written very in
teresting story of his views in a
certain farm paper. Here is
a part of his story:
1--WE farmers need awakening
to the fact that we have unmis-
takably reached the period
where we must think and plan.
/ am one of the slow German
farmers that had to be shown,
and ! am now giving my exper-
fence that others may profit, for
knowledge is more expensive
now than ten years ago.
"Twenty-nine years ago / be-
gan my farm career. had an
old team and $50. Our furni-
ture was mostly homemade
chairs, cupboard and lounge
made from dry goods boxes,
neatly covered with ten-cent
cretonne by my girl wife. We
rented eighty acres. Being a boy
Of good habits / got all needed
machinery and groceries of our
home merchants on credit, until
fall crops were sold. The first
year was a wet season and / did
not make enough to pay credit
ors. / went to each on date of
promise and explained condi-
tons, paying as much as posi-
BILE, and they all carried the bal
ance over another year. They
continued to accommodate me
until / was able to buy a forty
acre piece of my own.
Gas soon as l owned these few
acres the mail order houses be-
gan sending me catalogues, and
gradually I began sending nv
loose change to them, letting my
accounts stand in my home town
where ! had gotten my accom-
mediation when / needed it.
1--WE then had one of the
thriftiest little villages in the
state good line of business in
all the branches, merchants
who were willing to help an hon
est fellow over a bad year, and
a town full of people who came
twice a week to trade and visit.
Our little country town sup
ported a library, high school, a
ball team and we had big cele-
brations every year.
"A farm near a live town soon
doubles in value. / sold my for
ty acres at a big advance and
bought an eighty, gradually adj
ding to it until ! had 200 acres

and found it easy to patronize
the mail order agents that came
almost weekly to our door. I
regret to say that / was the first
in the county. to make up a
.neighborhood bill and send it to
q mail order house. Though we
got bit every once in a while, we
got in the habit of sending away
for stuff.
Gradually our merchants les
sened their stock of goods-for
lack of patronage. Finally we
began to realize that when we
needed a bolt quickly for mach
inery, or clothing for sickness or
death, we had to wait and send
away for it, which wasn't so
pleasant. One by one our mer-
chants moved to places where
they were appreciated, and men
of less energy moved in. Grad
ually our town has gone down;
our business houses are tacky'
in appearance, a number are en-
pity; our schools, churches and
walks are going down, we have

A Final Word in the Birch and Revllll
Item Case

Truth is indeed stranger thau

so new and novel that it has
startled the public, at least some
Of them, even the "doubting
Thomases.' Some found that
the Birch article contained
enough to make them 60 way
back and sit down. So far as
this article is concerned this is
the final chapter on John Birch,
unless further developments de-
mand publicity. We have no de-
sire and no intention Of persecut-
ing John Birch or poor Joseph,
the Item editor. They may not
be alone so far as their perform
ances are concerned; they are
simply unfortunate in having
fallen within the range Of our
calcium. We have no desire to
prosecute, and certainly no in
clination to pursue Birch and
Joseph unless something unfor-
seen transpires in connection
with the controversy. We feel
that we have done our duty to.
ward the public and voters Of
Grant county, and so far as I am
concerned this is the final chap
