MAKING OR BREAKING A TOWN

1t is easy enough to kill off a town, but how are we to rejuvenate
a community that has been literally choked to death by the veryp people
who should be its best friends and proteetors-ns people?
This community is by n meal dead, but it has had some solar
plexus blows from people who should have been pushing instead OF
showing.
1t has been slowly choked and strangled by those who have injured
themselves by their acs quite as much as they have injured the COM
munity.
1t has been done by the inveterate patronzer of the mail order
mar and the big city merchant.
Let US suppose W pictures, and the story will have been told 50
plainly and SO graphically as to be readily understood by any person
of any degree of intelligence whatever.
Picture One N
This is a thnv ng country community.
that are sold at close margins of profits, is clean, sanitary, and attractive
many ways.
Business is good, money is plentiful and in constant circulation,
society is active, and life is lore than worth living.
Farmers find a ready market for their products and those that are
1ot consumed locally are purchased by shippers at the highest market
prices.
The town has a good abroad, lew people re constantly
moving in, real estate is o the move, farm values are high and tie
demand for them is heavy.
1t is a successful town, but it is so only because the people OF the
community trade with their home merchants and are loyal to home in
situations and home people.
The community produces Tor than it consumes, and since the
with the result that the financial condition of the community becomes
better day by day.
This is what loyalty to the home institutions does for you and yours.
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1915-09-18
Picture Two

This is known as a mail order town and community, and it looks !:
There vas a time when this as a prosperous community of people
with many stores well stocked and business generally 81 the boom.
Then the mail order mar came along with his handsome catalogues
and his alurrng advertisements of something for nearly nothing
which did not pan out as expected. and many of the people fell for his
stunt.
home merchants sold less goods and had to reduce their stocks and
some OF them became disguised and moved away, and the town just
naturally hit the slippery place on the toboggan and slid down to the
bottom and has stuck there " since.
Yes, it is just a mail order town and looks it,
Pride is gone, business men are apathetc, trade is dull money is
scare and hard to get, social life is dead, real estate is deader, and
farm values have shrunk until they are the deadest OF all.
Many farms are for sale, but there are n buyers. Nobody wants
to live II invest in a dead community.
Young people growing up get tired OF living in a cemetery and
move n to other and more progressive communities, or to the big
cities.
Older would like to go, too, but they al OF sell their prop
ey and Of course there is nothing left for them to do but stick
around and stagnate with the resto of the victims OF the mail order
man.
This is what patronizing the mail order mn and neglecting the
home merchants and home institutions does for you and yours. =
MORAL: The community that patronizes home institutions will
live and prosper. The one that cings to the mail order man more
often faces certain commercial diintegraton, stagnation and death.
ANTIDOTE: Resolve today that you will never again deal your
the mail order nan Stick to home and home will stay by you, and
your combined energies will bring victory from defeat and prosperity
from disaster

of khaki by our army dates back to
the South African war. 1t will sur.

Singing While In Danger.

Though there Is no definite rule laid
down in the British naval regulations,
yet 1t has become an unwritten one
for the officers to instruct their men
to sing when they are in great danger,
as for instance, when their ship has
been mined or torpedoed and is sink
ing
Thus many Of the men on board the
Formidable went bravely to their
deaths singing "Tipperary." A popu-
lar song, as a rule, is ordered to be
sung because most of the sailors
know 1t, and collective singing puts
more heart in them and helps them to
hang on as long as possible till help
comes.
Some years ago some sailors from
the Vernon were blown up in Ports
mouth harbor. II was in the middle
Of January. and an icy blizzard made
things worse than usual. The lieu:

sung under stranger conditions. II
is said that the lieutenant swan

who weren't singing!-Pearson's.

ALL RUN BY ELECTRICITY
Labor-saving Devices a Feature Of
House Exhibited at Panama-Pa-
cifle Exposition.

Electrical labor-saving devices form
one of the most interesting features of
the manufacturers exhibits at the Pan
ama-Pacific exhibition. A novelty
shown in this department is an all.
electric house.
Many homes have been built and
adapted to use electricity in as many
ways as possible after construction,
but the house exhibited has had the
various features built in. Each room
Is equipped with labor-saving devices
and electrically operated comforts. All
the kitchen machinery, from potato
peelers to the electric refrigerator, Is
motor driven.
The dining room is arranged SO as
to show how light lunches can be pre-
pared on electric chatting dishes and
stoves. In the rear of the house there
is an electric workshop and a garage
equipped with battery recharging
device for the electric automobile.

Much Unknown About Marbles.

Though the western part of Yer
mont includes the most extensive
marble industry in this country, the
eastern part is virgin field where, in
the lack Of general study Of the
stratigraphy, the structure, the pale
anthology, and the areal geology, 1t is
at present not only impossible to de-
termine the area and position of many
OF the beds, but also even the thick
ness of some of the marble formations
which are but partly exposed. The
marbles of eastern Vermont, many Of
which are dolomitic, vary widely In
kind and character, and the outcrops,
though few in number, are scattered
from the Massachusetts, line to the
Canadian boundary. Many Of the
marbles are suited only for indoor
ornamental use. The greater part Of
the lodges are to be classed as min
eral reserves which will be drawn on
In the future.

New Field for Women.

The opening Of new avenues of
profitable endeavor for women is a
matter OF considerable Importance.
and the Maxwell Motor company OF
New York is making an effort to util.
lie them as saleswomen. In recent
communication the president of the
company says: Il believe that there
is room for women in the automobile
business. Women have proved to be
good saleswomen and demonstrators
in other lines. We believe that they
will be particularly successful with au.
tomobiles, and we are going to take
the trouble to find out whether we are
right or wrong"
The company has accordingly put
Mrs. Crystal Eastman Benedict in
charge OF the saleswoman's bureau
and she reports that the women SO far
employed are proving their value.

NITRATE DEPOSITS OF CHILE
Many Things to Which the Users OF
the Supply should Give Close
Attention.

The worlds supply Of nitrate, for
use in the manufacture OF fertilizers
explosives and other chemical prod
ucts. is now derived almost entirely
from the deposits of sodium nitrate In
northern Chile. These deposits are
vast, as compared with any probable
future demand and even the best Ell
forts of a close monopoly supervised
by the Chilean government have not
been able to do more than keep output
and prices under some small degree OF
control. In ordinary times the Chilean
deposits can swamp any possible com
petitive supply, and In the past this
has operated to prevent the develop
ment of small or less well located de-
posits elsewhere.
The Chilean deposits have, however,
one marked defect which Is brought
into prominence by the present Euro
mean war: and which would have come
out in still more disastrous form IN
case of a war between the United
States and any power having an active
feet in the Pacific ocean. The defect
is that the distribution of the output
is entirely by sea, and that the steam
ers carrying the nitrate must make
long run along open coasts. We must,
therefore, consider that nitrate, though
the supply is more than ample, is like
" to be entirely cut off under war
conditions.
In default of supply Of Chilean nj
trate, a country would have to fall
back upon either (a) local or other
supplies Of natural potash or soda nj
trates, (b) nitrogen extracted from
the air or (c) nitrates manufactured
from coal tar products. All Of these
are technically feasible, and none are
absolutely prohibitive as to cost under
war conditions, though in normal times
none OF them can at present compete
with the Chilean supply.-Engineering

BIRDS THE FRIENDS OF MAN
