There are two ways Of looking ut the
subjects Of home markets. and the sub.
iects should be studied from both
viewpoints II a reasonably correct IN

Il should be understood In advance
that each community. inclusive Of ali
the people who live In the market
town and the farmers who surround

prosperity Of the individuals living In

buying everything the farmer wishes
% sell, and the market should always
be cash market
This much the farmer has q right to
demand in return for the support he
b able to give the town.
Could Get Better Prices.
II the farmers have In their local
town a market for their products or q
great part Of them they would obtain
. much better price for everything
they raise. and the consumer would
pay considerably less than the people
living in large congested centers.

To supply the needs and demands Of
the people living in the large cities
great quantities Of country produce
are daily shipped to the commission
merchants operating there.

The city consumer pays the price for
living in the center Of excitement, as
he joins with the producer in sharing
the cost Of moving the farm products
to the large cities: also the expense
entailed in handling. storing and dis
posing Of them.
Town 10 Entitled to Support.
On the other hand. having provided
for good. adequate market, the town
b entitled to the support Of the farm
ers.
Furthermore. the only manner in
which the market can be maintained
Ii for the farmers to give all their
trade to their local merchants-keep
their money at home.

II the farmers of community per-
sist in sending the money they receive
for their products away from home to
buy goods the time surely will come
when there will be no money at home
With which the towns tradesmen can
buy the farmers products.
This is the philosophy Of the situa-
don In a nutshell.
The resident Ut town who does not
exert his every effort in its interest, to
build 1t up and make It strong and
prosperous. is indeed retarding his own
advancement. That's the logical reply.
Develop Homo Market.
The FIRST step in the right direction
u the creation and development Of
home market. Everything within your
power should he done to make your
town the trading mecca Of your vicin-
ity.
You should volunteer your services
and cooperate with the other citizens
IN making your town the trading envy
Of your section Of the state.
Give the question a little thought
and when you have reached a conclu-
sion do not hesitate to voice your sen.
tments.
Go to your local newspaper publish
er. your banker. your merchant, your
lawyer. your hotel keeper and your
druggist and tell them what you think
would be the best way to build up and
advance your town.
Citizens Are rhoushtIsss.
The efforts spent should not be d.
rected in specific channels, but should
embrace the betterment q ruRal Nfe
and conditions
The work for the improvement Of
both town and country ought to be
made community job. and every res
4ent should engage In the work with
equal zest.
Local development will b. hindered
Just as long as the thoughtless eiti-
Gems line up at the counter Of the
faker and tender him their hard earned
dollars and while they continue TO- AID
IN increasing the bank accounts Of the
enormous corporations engaged in sell
Ing goods by mail through deceptive
pictures In expensive catalogues.
Let the community rise up in one
body and put n stop to this practice.
