THE HOME TOWN
BY NELS DARLING

The average western town depends
upon the agricultural resources OF
the country in its immediate vicinity
for it's support. 1t is but little more
than local trading point 1t has
no jobbing houses, no manufacturing
with which to bring money into the
community from large trade ter
ritory. Such a town would soon be-
come deserted village were the
stores to close their doors and quit
business. Every cent Of every dol
lar sent to the Mail Order Houses
of the great trade centers, is for
ever lost to the community from
which it comes; going into channels
that carry far and away from the
locality where its equivalent in
wealth from the soil was created.
II IN any instance money was saw
ed by sending away for goods that
can be bought at home, there would
not be so much room for criticism.
So often the item of freight is not
considered Quality is not as care
fully taken into account as it should
be. Service is not given its due cred
IL. You must know the weights and
freight rates TO make a true esti-
mate of costs You must be a good
judge of all sorts of merchandise to
be able to make dependable com
Parsons CT Quality. The proof of
the pudding IS in the eating there

deal of merchandise is in its wear
ing qualities. Many a fine looking /

of goods.
When you send away fer any
thing you pay in advance You go TO
he derot for the shipment and do
your own hauling. You cannot make
an immediate exchange if the goods
are unsatisfactory. You cannot tee
phone the last minute for something /
you have forgotten l am now talk
ing about service. A safe plan is ID
buy of dealers at home, in whom
you can place confidence. Are you
giving your town your moral and
financial support?

State Has Suffered Shame.
Idaho has lately suffered shame
and humiliation by reason of the be-
trayal of some of those IN whom
the people had reposed their con-
fidence. 1t is a nausesting affair
this cold, cowardly. deliberate barter
ing of the states honor. The actual
taking of the public funds is bad
enough but the loss Of the money
taken, should it be lost. is altogether
the least of the consequences OF
such evils. Corruption IN public Of
flee is not to be measured in its
evil consequences by the direct loss
ocourring-such things impair the re-
putation and standing of the state in
every financial center of the Unit
ed States.
''It reduces the value of every
farm. of every horse and COW, OF
every state and municipal bond and

The Enterprise is pleased to be
able to print in full today the great
speech which was delivered by Sena-
tor VIM. E. Borah, at the Parma
Roswell annual picnic last Thursday
Senator Borah spoke as follows:
'State pride Is as indispensable in
the building of a great state as self
respect in the formation and upbuild-
ing of private character. 1t is the
moral and intellectual flavor without
which our state can never attain un-
to that individuality amcng other
states of the union which every good
citizen covets for the commonwealth
in which he has come to make his
home and rear his family and among
whose people he has cast his lot.
We ought to cultivate it in every
conceivable way. As the individual
builds his home and puts his person
al character into its architecture and
grounds, its furnishings and its Ii
brary, distinguishing it thus from
that of all his neighbors, so a people
for good or fer bad, write their
character and purposes inevitably in
to the institutions and laws of a
state and thus give to her char
acter by which she is to be judged
among all the sisterhood- of states.

Scarcely an element of natural
wealth but abounds within our state.
All the great metals, timber and
building stone, grazing lands and
agricultural lands, and all upon such
a vast scale-for this state Is FAR
greater in area and in natural wealth
than all that magnificent region
teeming with industrial power known
as New England. 1t is richer and
broader than the territory upon
which arose and fell the BabylonSan
empire. And then scattered here and
there in the midst OF it all these
