EUYING IN DISTANT CITIES.

People sometimes. tell the home
merchant that he does not sell as cheap
ly as metropolitan stores or mail order
houses in more or less distant cities.
Any person wishing to compare the
two scales of prices should inquire
whether the distant stores was selling
the same goods. Second grade prod
ucts can be made to look very hand
some in catalog cut. But the home
merchant can not float that kind of
goods. They come come back to his
store too easily.
1t is amusing to see the bother people
will take for trifiing sums they think
they are saving. They will travel
many miles, spend street car fares,
pay for luncheons, hotel bills. and tips.
They get tired and footsore, tramping
around overgrown stores separated by
long distances. They wait for change,
carry bundles, and pay express. They
pay high price in money and energy
for supposed economies.
When YOU buy goods away from
home you rarely take them back.
The bother and expense looks pro-
hibitive. When you buy at home you
would return them if dissatisfied.
This takes the time of clerks, frequent
ly the goods have been injured while
in your hands.
Where it is so easy to return goods.
the customer must be given both the
worth of his money, and something
suited to his needs. A higher grade
of salespeople is thus required in the
home store. To make sale that will
stick so near home, the customer must
be given intelligent advice.
Thus the public demands from the
home store more competent service
than it eXacts from the distant mer-
chant. This means additional expense,
which is counterbalanced by lower rents
and like economies. Whenyou consider
how generously the home store re-
spends to all kinds of demands, reason
able and unreasonable, the range of its
price is remarkably low.

TURNING OVER THE NEW LEAF

Have we done it? If so, see that 1t is
kept turning over" for the next 258
days, and as the days come and go, that
the entry made is, something done to
day 10 advance the interests of Oakland
and Garrett county. Let this be our
resolve: That we will unite in most
earnest and persistent effort to make
Oakland larger and better city, a
cleaner, consequently healthy city in
every respect. The ladies' of the Civic
Club, especially for the past few years.
have had cleaning up days and have ac-
complished great things.
The city council has greatly improv-
ed the appearance of the city, by re-
curing property owners to put down
brick pavements in place of the rotton
board walks.
Oakland ought to have city hall Of
modern architecture. Nothing would
advertise,the city to better advantage.
Oakland is able to erect such a building.
Why not decide to build it this year?
Another thing Oakland needs badly.
and that is, putting into effect the plan
of the ladies' civic club for the improve
ment of the Oakland cemetery property.
Why not decide that question and make
this an object of special effort, to be
fulfilled this year. Can we not have
a grand rally for this purpose? A bazaar,
a grand concert. three days fair, an
effort of some kind to secure the last
cent needed to complete the work?

THESE days we hear much about
'trusts" and the large manufacturing
companies, of very unfavorable
character and doubtless many of them
deserve all they receive, but at the
same time some Of these great cor
porations deal generously with their
employees, as in this instance: The
United States Steel Corporation will
shortly distribute its annual bonus to
its employees. The amount is expected
to be close to 5000, 900, as against
81, 500, 900 in 1912 and S1,45O, 900 in
1911. In the past year employees also
received increases in salaries aggregat-
ing $l2, 900, 900 annually.
