London, Feb. 3.-During the last
few days the Germans have been
making desperate efforts to break the
deadlock which has existed for SO
long on both the eastern and western
fronts. They have delivered a series
of attacks, always preceded by artil.

Flanders and France, and while In al.
most every case they have thus won
preliminary advantage. before the
fighting was concluded the French,
British or Belgians have been able to
regain the trenches temporarily lost,
and, in some cases, to occupy the Ger.
man positions. In these attacks. ac.
cording to the reports of the British
and French general staffs, the Ger.

How many farmers in this Sec

curing good country roads?
Doubtless most of them have

serious thought, and if they
would only get together occa.
sionally and talk it over some
one would be able to advance q
plan that would be practical and
easy of solution. Let's have a
meeting or two, Brother Farm
ers! A few of you get together
and select a date and place and
then tell US about it and we will
announce it in advance IN the
paper and hustle up big at
tendance. There are but few
things we can not do if We only

people among whom we live.
We want to ''keep prosperity
at home" and we want you to
help US in our work by doing
your share, and you can do that
by buying at home and keeping
all of the profits at home.
It is serious problem that
confronts US in the near future,
and we should grapple with it
as becomes men of brains and
determination.
Shall we trade at home and
keep prosperity in this town?
Or shall We continue to make
city millionaires who wouldn't
give us a five cent if we were
hungry for bread?
Remember, brother and sister,
this applies not only to your
neighbors, but to YOU as well,
if you happen to be one who has
been doing your shopping in
other places.

PUTTING IT Up TO YOU.

We would not weary our read
ers by being too insistent upon
any one subject, but the welfare
of our community should be up
permost in the minds of every
loyal citizen. and that welfare
calls for a few very pertinent re
marks at this time Of the year.
Between now and the 25th day
of December many thousands of
dollars will be spent by the peo
pie in the purchase of holiday
articles. The manufacturing
cost of those articles must of ne
cessity go to the factories scat
tered broadcast over the coun-
try. That can not be helped.
But there is another cost
which should be seriously con.
sidered by every person who
has any regard whatever for the
future welware of this town and
this community. That cost is
the retailers profits on the sales
To make this community pros
porous and keep it so it is neces-
sary that those profits be kept
at home, and that can only be
done by patronizlng merchants
who live here and conduct their
business here and spend their
own money here.
No citizen has the right to feel
that it is all right for him to
send bis money away from this
community because the is only;
one person and his money will
not be missed" It is just such
people who are building up the

strangling the rural business in
terests all over this country.
They are the peple who produce
hard times in the country towns
and farm sections Of every state,
because they are millions in mum
Der.
Let Us bring it right home to
you. Suppose every person in
this town and the farming sec:
ton around here should buy all
of their goods from business
houses located IN other sections
of the country or state. How
long would our stores keep their
doors open, and how long would
you be able TO buy even a pin or
a nail IN this town?
And if everybody kept on
sending their money all out Of
the town and community, how
long would it be before we had
no more money to send, and
when we found the community
pauperized where would we turn
for relief?
The profits of local industries
both farm and town-repre.
sent the money that is kept IN
circulation at home. If those
profits are sentaway we can not
expect long to have any money
in circulation IN our midst, for
other people in other places will
have it, and we will be getting
poorer and poorer all of the
time, and our community will be
getting deader and deader. until
in time no one would care even
to live here.
Certainly no sane person
would want such a condition of
affairs to exist here.
But what is the remedy, you
say? It is both sane and simple.
Quit doing your shopping out
of town and buy goods from
home dealers. That is, buy
everything you can here.
Don't be carried away with the
false idea that you can buy
cheaper somewhere else, for you
can not. If you want shoddy
and worthless goods you can
find plenty of city stores and
nrmS VINO GnrlVe on SelllnS cOun
try people just such rotten stuff
at a few cents less than you
would pay your home dealer for
a good article that he is willing
to guarantee. But you can not
buy a reliable article else
where any cheaper than you can
buy the same article right here
at home.
We are pushing the "ouy it
at home" slogan in this CON-
munity and we want you to JOIN
