The annual encampment of the
Southwestern Minnesota C. A.
r. association will be held at Lu-
verne June 20 and 80. This will
also be a celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the close of the
Civil war and it is planned to
have a big time. Some of the
speakers who have been pro-
cured are Captain Will S. Emery
of Lakefeld, Mimi; United
States Senator Knut Nelson and
Rev. Potter of Sioux Falls, as
we'll as Col. Towne, Judge Mel
son, Comrade Rasey and others.
The Longfellow Male Quartet of
Minneapolis composed of veter-
ans of the war, will furnish
music. Mrs. George C. Ohm
stead, formerly Miss Sadie Nc
Donald, the only daughter of the
department, will be present and
help.

munity of twenty-five hundred
people, the Nelson's have a de-
partment store that would be a
credit to Duluth. The catalogue
house has no terrors for this
store, for it beats them at their
own game. Pages and double
pages of up-to-date, well writ
ten and attractive advertise
ments in the Luverne newspa-
pers tell how this rural store
| fghts-and beats-the cata-
logues.
That's one case, and there are
many others. A wise partner
ship between the local merchant
and the local newspaper will
profit both, develop the commun-
ity, and beat the catalogue house
to death.
Kiene's Department Store at
Frazee, Minnesota, prints cata-
logue prices and it's own prices
side by side, showing that it can
meet and even beat the prices of
the catalogue house.
Another interesting case just
comes to hand. In the Sandstone
Courier is a full-page advertise
ment inserted by the Webb
Hardware company of that town.
The company offers to meet the
prices of any catalogue house
and in addition to save half the
freight cost. 1t asks it's patrons
to fill out a blank giving the
catalogue number and descrip-
ton of the goods, and the cata-
logue price. It then offers to
meet the catalogue price, dup
licate the goods, and save the
buyer half the freight charges.
1t says "Buy at Home" and 'Try
Your Home Merchant First"
but, more to the point, it gives
tangible reasons why this should
be done.
People ought to buy at home.
It keeps the money at home and
builds up the community. 1t is
short-sighted economy to send
the money away to build up some
other community.
But people will continue to
buy out of town so long as they
believe that they can do better
that way, and all the academic
argument human ingenuity can
conceive won't stop them.
What will stop them is to show
them that they can do as we'll
Or better at home.
The way to do that is the way

Webb Hardware company at
Sandstone and Kiene at Frazee

Granite Falls put" COOS thus
in his Tribune: America wants
no war; neither will the people
stand for one, unless honor is at
stake, but on the contrary we
desire peace and will have it if
we must fight to continue the

tons and all peoples"

The pace that kills is no dream

Sun tells the story Of thirty per-

fourteen in May of last year.
Fourteen of the thirty were chill

wagons killed eleven and street
cars five.

The Minnesota regents have
unanimously accepted the Mayo

Minnesota's best assets.
