The editor was out walking along the Williams-Flagstaff road one day the first of the week. A drag had been used on the road re- gently. To say that the use of the drag improved the road fifty per cent over what it was previous ly is mild estimate. Would that more of our roads might be drag ged Just a little work with a drag at the right time would give us roads that would be mighty hard to excel.

The people grew tired of paying taxes to the steel trust, sugar trust and other infant industries thru a protective tariff, and put the dem ocrats in to stop it.

We're thru with voting special privileges to our millionaires.

When Should One Patronize
 Home Concerns

This IS a qu -stion of vital int"r est to every reader of the News. We may just as well admit that a great many people in this vicinity patronize mail order houses in pre- ference to home stores and other business concerns; and on the oth- CT hand it is also true. that some of the home concerns send away for goods that they might get here. It would be much better for tho community if in some way thispra- ctice on the part of both groups might be checked. How may it be done?
 To say that any one os the mer- chants customers or the merchant himself, should buy at home even tho he have to pay two or three prices for the goods, would it seems to us, be altogether unreasonable In that case the local price would be. to high. But, if the price is only a reasonable per cent higher. we believe the home concern ought to receive the preference. This for a number of reasons.
 In the first place, prices in gen. eral are higher here, than in east ern cities. Coming from Eastern Kansas ours Ives, we have had the difference between prices here and there brought sharply to our atten- ton. We have noticed, however, that wages are highes here the same as other commodities, and, that being the case, the laborer, re- ceiving more, should be willing to pay more for his goods here, and the merchant visa versa for the things he may purchase at home. In the second place, trading at home, reacts to the benifit of every member of the community to such an extent as to make it good busi- ness to pay more for goods at home than one would have to pay else where. Just how much more is an unsettled question.
 There are other arguments which argue for the patronage of home concerns such as time saved, con- venience. opportunity to see the goods, better satisfaction but the two mentioned above, we believe are the TWO which argue strongest for home patronage in spite oi greater cost
 These two points being conceded, how much more should one be will ing to pay for home goods than they would have pay for forgein goods? That is the question which we will not presume to give final answer, but we do wish to say that in our opinion, it is best to patronize the home concern even tho one has to pay from one-eight to one-third higher here. This is simply our personal opinion, but we are willing to abide uncnmplain- ingly by this rule in regards to the purchase of our goods. If we can not come that near to a forgein concerns prices we will not con- plain if prospective customer or ders elsewhere. What is your opin- ion? We will be pleased to hear it and to publish it if you desire

submarine, which was dream In 1863,
is owned by the navy Of the smallest
power. 1t is true that single subma-
rines are not expected to accomplish
much in a real struggle, SO the larger
navies of the great powers have fleets
of submarines. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon are to be found In the
possession of all armies in Europe to-
day, yet they, too, are only expected to
be of real service when they are pos
sessed in large numbers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero
plans have been used to a limited ex-
tent and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by the
present war.
II is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While 1t was used in
| the Russo-Japanese war OF ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary. and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
| cheney. In the intervening decade, how
| ever. great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and. IN
deed is a custom every day, to send
| and receive messages from distance
of more than 5000 miles. This. then
is a new and important factor in naval
onerations, as was seen by the censor
shin put over the great sending sta
tions on this side OF the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.

1904 but it was very different sea
