1t is our duty, first. last and always,
to show our appreciation of our home
firms because they have showed their
appreciation of our trade in ways that
bind our interests together. They
have stocked their stores with every
article which we need in our home,
they have continually improved their
store buildings and store service;
they have shown themselves worthy
and deserving of our trade.
The home merchant pays his license
to us; his tax to us; and he stands
ready to help us in any movement,
with cash contribution and his NOR
al support He is willing to trust our
honor to pay him for the goods we
buy from him, and cheerfully extends
us the convenience Of charge ac-

The dollar which you spend at homa
you have a chance to get back in cir
culation here at home. A dollar sent
away from home is gone not to return
to US again, but helps to build another
community and correspondingly tears
you down. In spending money at
home, You may see what you are get
ting before you pay for it. You can
buy more cheaply here at home than
elsewhere for when you buy away
from home. you must pay the cost of
money order, pay expressage, lose
valuable time in going to the express
office. ETC., as well as wait several
days for the delivery of the goods.
And when goods arrive, the chances
are You will find you did not get your
moneys worth.
Your home merchant has the same
or better goods right here at your
door. He will deliver them to YOU
without charge. and without delay.
He has secured his goods from the
same world market as merchants do
in others cities, and his facilities for
selling them to you at lowest prices
are unexcelled.
When you send your dollar away
from home. say to Chicago, and some
time later find yourself pinched by
circumstances and in dire need Of
something to eat and wear, would you
dare ask the Chicago merchant to ex-
tend you credit and send you food and
clothing? No. Your first move WOULD
be to tell your tale Of woe at home.
There is not a merchant in our home
town who would not come to the
rescue OF any worthy family and ex.
tend them credit. We ought to spend
our money at home always, and

now utilizing about 70 per cent of its ca- pacity and the presumption is that much the greater part of the commodities now manufactured and exported are not war materials, but those which are used in the arts of peace. Should Russia pur- chase here-and the chances are fairly good that she will--iron and steel products the aggregate of which will be very large and these will be commodities which are essential when peaceful development is under way. Some of the larger corpora tions, and particularly that department of the steel company which represents the energy and foresight of James A. Farrell, the foreign sales department. are ready to utilize the full strength of their organi- zations so that exports of steel and iron products which are not war material may be facilitated.
 Governor Hamlin's Good News
 Information which has been brought from the far west by Governor Hamlin of the federal reserve board at Washington fully confirms private and informal com munications which have been for some time received in this city. Governor Ham lin's experience in public life especially qualities him to investigate business con ditions and thoroughly to assimiate the varied information which he receives. He is perhaps better qualified for that par
 
 ciates, since he has had long and thor ough association with the department or the government which is in touch With business life. Governor Hamlin says that 1t is true that the lumper business or the Pacific coast is not prosperous. That mas long been known to men Of affairs or the financial district. The Panama canal, the tariff schedule and the great competition which Pacific coast Canada was ready to enter upon in part explain the de- moralzation of the lumber business. But in other respects business and commercial life in the far west is such that Governor Hamlin might with accuracy have sald that great improvement In all lines or business has taken place. Instead of say l ing just that, he somewhat qualihed ms statement by saving that he had observed I unmistakable signs that improvement had | begun. Something better than symptoms and signs are reported from the far west. Facts and figures are gwen to snow that I the improvement really is.
 | In the financial district it was commonly | said last fall and early in the winter that | the first improvement in bushes would be observed in the grain raising sections , of the country. The estimate was that 1 farmers would gain at least $2OO,00O,0Oo more for their wheat than they would | have received if there had been no war. l Now the estimate, which was made early I last winter. is reported to have been Jus tified, Of course, prosperity of this kind gradually spreads from the farmers. It | is infused into general business, in the
 agricultural sections and gradually ex- | bands so that at last that section of the | country which is east of the Allegheny mountains begins to feel this stimulus Of course, the orders for war material received by industries in the midwest and east, unparalleled in their magnitude, have strengthened the stimulus.

caused for time some cessation of these inquiries. It did transpire, however in January that Russia, looking into the future. believed that the time would come when it would be necessary to provide for railroad equipment, especially steel rails and steel bridges. Russia is concerned not only with the immediate emergencies of the war, but Is also looking far into the future, confident that after the war recuperation will take place rapidly in Russia and that the stupendous natural re- sources of the country will within few years be highly developed. It is, in fact, upon that development of her natural re- sources that Russia relies for speedy re- cupera tion.
 In an address recently made by John Hays Hammond at Lakewood he intimated that he was not of the same mind as are those who believe that many years full of desolation and commercial stagnation will follow the close of the European war MT. Hammond is persuaded that recuper- ation will be much more speedy than many persons believe to be possible. As he is familiar with conditions in Russia, ano has recently been brought in touch witf her awakened national spirit 1t is a fall inference that he had Russia in mind es- pecially when he spoke of the probability of rapid recuperation.
 One of the reports which have beer widely circulated within few days con tains the intimation that those who art now representing Russia when making in quiry into the steel market and the stee manufacturing industry of the United States are prepared, if all goes well, t' make contracts which will require al much as 100,000,000 to iquidate. There i no doubt in the minds of those in thu financial district who keep in close toucl with financial conditions that Russia vii
 be able satisfactorily to finance an orde of this kind even though it be as mucl
 as $100 100000.
 pure guesswork The amount represente,
 by completed negotiations may be con
 siderably more than S100,0000 000, or it ma. | be not half as much. In any event if tn order be placed it will represent a yer, large amount of money, presumably pay
 ments being extended over series 0 years.
 The Wiser Way
 1 The suspicion prevails that some of tn managers of large steel industries ar acting with prudence which nevertheless involves considerable patience. They ar not seeking war orders nor to any consid erable extent are they accepting proposi
 tions involving the making and exportin
 of war materials. They are persuade
 that the time is not distant when the do nestle demands for iron and steel prod
 ucts will become so great as to entail tn
 entire capacities of their plants. Alread
 some of the plants are working under re
 cent greatly increased capacity. Yer | high authority can be given for the state
 ment that in the late summer an | throughout the fall of last year tn | United States Steel corporation was work | ing only a little over 30 per cent of it | capacity. Recently Judge Gary has state 1 for publication that the corporation
