Do You Realize The Harm You Do
By Patronizing Mail Order Houses?

Columns have been written in the
local newspapers OF Nevada to show
the yiciousness of the mail order"
habit that seems to be firmly fixed.
especially among the inhabitants of
small towns and rural districts. 4
huge catalogue. alluringly printed in
colors, showing everything from a
Partisan gown at $l69 to moving
machine for 1920, catches the eye of
the rural buyer and he immediately
begins TO figure just how much he is
being swindled out of by his local
merchant, forgetting that the mer-
chant is selling him a standard arti-
Gle and stands back of il with a guar
antee; that he is on the spot TO hear
any complaint that may be made and
stands ready to see that the article is
all the manufacturer claims for it. or
money back. A late report states
that Sears, Roebuck & Co. did a total
business of SS,464,713 during the
month of May. an increase of nearly
one million dollars over the same
month last year, and by far the great
er part Of this enrmous business
came from the western farming and
industrial centers. 1t means that
hundreds of communities were drain
ed of that amount of cash that went
to build up Chicago to the detriment
of their own communities.
In these days of standardized arti-
cles purchaser gets just what he
pays for. This applies equally to
automobiles as to furniture, sewing
machines, cream sepaTatOrs or ging-
ham gowns. No farmer would think
of buying Il horse from 4 picture, no

any patron of the mail order house
and spot the goods he ha spaid his

The victim of the mail order habit
believes he is getting the advantage

waited by these concerns. Nothing is
or can he further from the truth. In
these days of standardization, as above
stated, q purchaser gets just what he
pays for--no more, no less. When
anyone offers you something Just as
good" as the standard article for less
money, you can put 1t down right
there that somebody lies. II you doubt
this, try TO get standard guaranteed
article from mail order house, Il
matters not whether II is n sewing
machine, cream separator, n wagon,
an automobile tire or any of the thous.
and one things that fill the pages
of the catalogues from these concerns
and see what you will get in reply.
with tho exception of tho stock
market, the mail order business is the
only business in which the entire cap.
ital Is advanced by the trader in ad-
vance of the transaction. Further.
more, 1t is a strictly cash business,
hence there are no risks, no bad
debts and no necessity for the need
to make immediate delivery to the
customer which means capital tied up

LETTERS TO EDITOR
He Is Against Diversification

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Farmers in hilly country, increase your cotton acreage this year all you can. Turn a deaf ear to all this speculators' bun comb about reducing the cotton crop Let large planters on level land do that. Your cotton will have little effect on prices
 Only cotton will bring cash next fall Plant all you can and make 1t yield as much possible; It will bring a good price in spite of calamity howlers.
 It will take years to make diversified farming pay. You are too poor to go heavily into that at once Raise a little of everything you can for your own use to save buying and hauling. Pork, corn and fodder usually bring good prices; a moderate amount of them can be sold.
 It costs 29 cents a bushel to raisA wheat on a large scale. You cannot compete with that. In the north onions bring % cents, Irish potatoes 25 cents, turnips 15 cents per bushel. and other things in proportion. They are firmer and keep bet ter than those we raise in this warmer climate. The same can be said about plums, pears. apples. grapes and all hardy fruits, as well as carrots, tomatoes cu- cumbers, etc. Everything attains its best at the most northerly point it natures.
 War in Europe had to be met with brains in America As you SOW. so shall you reap We elected democratic college professor President What crop did we get? To relieve distressed cotton he buys a bale at 10 cents a pound. Armour and other spectators followed him. The glad tidlngs were told of his shrewd move in every paper.
 Not a word was said of the millions of bales they sold ahead. to be delivered after Christmas, when they bought it for less than cents.
 To further gall the farmers, Congress & Co. said in October they would at once have $35 900, 900 ready to loan farmers on distress cotton at 6 cents pound at per cent interest, and kept reiterating that every few days till Christmas, when farm CTS just had to sell at less than cents a pound.
 On January ?. 1915, the glad tidings were flashed to an cotton states from Wash- ngton that the $135. .0o0.000 was now avail able: all poor, worthy farmers with 100 bales or more of cotton could get some of it. cents pound for few days at a first charge of 6 per cent interest (but boiled down would actually cost 12 per cent interest," if he had money enough to buy the necessary red tape in advance.
 As farmers had nearly all sold below 6 cents. prices were advanced to S1s cents. so spectators could again enrich them selves
