TRADE AT HOME
Sound Advice to Purchasing Public
What Other Communities Think

Every man and woman in the city, truly says the Meriden Journal, ought to realize that in trading with the To. cal merchants they are helping their city and by aiding the city are helping themselves.
 Duty is a power that rises with us in the morning and goes To rest with us at night. 1t is co-exlenSive with the action of our intelligence. It is the shadow which eleayes 10 us, go where we will. Let us do our duty in our shop or kitchen, in the market the street, the office, the farm, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if We stood in the front ranks of Seme great battle and knew that victory for man. kind depended upon our bravery, strength and skill. When we do that, the humblest of us will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world.
 1 It sho id be the slogan of every ru- l ral consumer to never send away for goods that he can just as well buy at home. Every time you send dollar | to mail-order house that dollar, as 1 far las you and your community are concerned, is practically out of circu. lation. Your home merchant is the one who helps to keep up your schools, | your churches and your town, He Is the one who deserves your trade.
 When you have nothing Ito give in exchange, to whom do yoa go for ac- eommodations until some uncertain time when you can pay? Do you not always find your lhome merchant ready and willing to let his goods go on promises, not guaranteed notes, but verbal promises, trusting 10 your hon. esty and good luck in meeting the ob, ligation later?
 In buying from your home mer- 1 chants you deal with neighbors. Buy with goods before you. Pay when you get the goods. Have goods deli> cred free. Return goods if not satisfactory
 Build up your home store. Hell build up your home town. And make of yourself man worthy of your day and time.

Patriotic music, patriotic songs, pa- ,,iotic speeches, ,and large and enthu- siastic gathering of people marked the ,oising of an American flag on the g,ounds of St. Mary's parochial school trpasday evening. The affair was 8 gnceess in every way and the score of grey haired veterans who were given sests of honor were not the least entha- siastic of those present. Their eyes frightened and shoulders were throw n hack as the flag that they love and had fonebt for was hauled aloft by the lit te daughter of MT. and Mrs. Henri faisSe. who was selected from the ga- tbered children by Rev. Charles F.. Bedard. who assisted. As Old Glory slowly arose to the top lof the pole the gathering of several hundred broke in- 10 applause, the band struck up the rational air and all heads were uncov- cred. It was an impressive sight.
 After the flag had been hoisted a company of forty school boys, ranging in age from seven to ten years, dressed in z1uave costume, went through a marching drill and the manual of arms. Captain Alphonse Mandler had his company well in hand and he had cause to be proud of his "men.p They

Fire at the Heath Farm

A fire at the Heath farm near White $ crossing this Thursday afternoon for a time threatened the farm house and it was only by the hardest of fire fight ing that the neighbors succeeded in saving the house after the barn, wood. shed and other outbuildings had burned.

The Heath family were not at home and when the fire was discovered by neighbors the outbuildings were blaz- ing. Putnam fifemen answered 8 summons for help and went to the place in an auto truck.

The meeting in Danielson Tuesday 1 evening was especially successful.
 Mrs. Rienzi Robinson, president of the Danielson League, has been working for weeks preparing for the event, and the success was in large part due to 1 her efforts. The Orpheum theatre was | crowded to the doors. It Is estimated that there were over 600 people present, among whom were most of the representative people of the Bor- ough, judges, lawyers, merchants, ,min- isters and other prominent scitizens. The St. James Band furnished excel- lent music before and after the speak ing. Mrs. Robinson introduced the speaker of the evening, Miss Emily Pierson of Cromwell, telling ibrieiiy of her position in the suffrage work.
 Miss Pierson spoke eloqaently and
 conyincingly of Woman Suffrage as 1 the next step forward in human prog l ress.
 | The meeting in East Woodstock We'd
 nesday evening was one of thesmost
 picturesque and interesting in the
 whole campaign. The night was SC
 warm that it was decided to have the speaking out of doors instead of in the Society Hall. Chairs were arranged on the Common and Miss Pierson l brought her car in front of them for use as a platform, while the electric 1 headlights of several other cars made an excellent spotlight for the speakers. 1t was a perfect starlight evening with 1 countless fireflies in the grass, and the white church and spire as back ] ground made the scene one of rare beauty. Miss Danielson of Putnam l Heights introduced the speakers who were Mrs. John E. Sheppard of South l Woodstock, w. J. Bartlett of Putnam, and Miss Pierson of Cromwell. Mrs. Sheppard spoke in part as follows: cone of the chief reasons why women are asking for the vote is because os the change in the work Of the world which puts all womens responsibilities un- der the control of laws. In the olden days the preparation of foods'and the making of clothes was done entirely in | the homes. Today all this is carried on in the great mills and factories and the housekeepers who iare trying to do their duty by their homes need voice in the laws of the city and state in | which they live. Very few of us here
 tonight who do not buy food and clothes made under conditions about
 which we know absolutely nothing
 The clothes may come germ laden
 from the sweat shops of New York
 city. Our food may be prepared in dirty factories. If women could vote
 inspectors would be provided to carry
 out women's wishes in regard to the
 conditions under which these essentials
 of their home life are prepared.
