WRITE AND SEE
IF THEY WILL

do their share towards its upkeep, eth

Our local business men have dug
down into their pockets again and
again for all sorts of laudable objects
in the way of contributions to this,
that and whatnot, and they will prob.
ably continue to dig as long as they
remain in business.
Like the good old Jersey COW, they
have been "milked" so long and so
often and for such varied purposes
that digging" has become almost sec.
ond nature to them.
But there Is one man who is rolling
In wealth that has been gathered in
from the rural districts, and that man
has yet to make his first dig. At any
rate, no one appears to have ever
heard OF him contributing a single
penny for the alienation Of local con
ditions.
He is the mail-order man, and It is
high time for him to dig.
Many of you have been sending him
your money for these many years,
depicting the financial condition of
your home community in order that
he and his may ride in expensive auto.
mobiles and wear rich furs, laces and
diamonds.
He counts his wealth by the mil
lions, all contributed by his dear
friends" from the country districts. A
few hundreds to him would be but n
drop in the bucket, yet 1t would mean
much to you IL expended In improv-
Ing the roads that you must travel in
earning your daily bread.
Now suppose each n of you good
people who have been handing your
hard earned money over to the mail.

him that when the rains come and the
mud is deep, and traffic is difficult,
and 1t is hard for you to earn the
golden dollars that go to swell the
great wealth he can never spend.
Tell him that you have beef his

Ask him TO dig" and dig deeply.
If he is your friend-if he cares a rap
