MlCHlGAN'S PIED PIPER

Michigan has found its Pied Piper
In the person of Representative Har.
vey A. Penney OF Saginaw, serving his
first term in the legislature, who
comes forward with bill designed to
drive all the rats from the precincts
OF the Wolverine state.
Representative Penney, after hav-
ing made an exhaustive study Of the
rat, has failed to discover just what
the rats mission in the world Is. but
he has found that the rat breeds In
filth and is dangerous to the public
health, being a disease carrier Just as
are the fly and the mosquito. Besides
this, Mr., Penney points to the harm
the rat does to everybody and every.
thing with which he comes In contact.
The rat robs the granary as we'll as
the grain in the field, and starts fires
well, everyone knows the innumer
able sins OF which the rat Is guilty.
Government reports show that the rat
caused $S0.000,0 900 In damage in the
limited States last wear The news.

Norway.

.s The difficulty of obtaining coal
abroad has led some of Norways bust
ness men to the consideration of be-
ginning mining operations on the
Andoen island, where coal deposits
were discovered in 1867. Measure
ments made in 1892 indicate that the
coal fields on that island underlie
about ten square miles and that there
must be something like half million
tons Of coal. 1t has not been deemed
practical to begin mining operations,
however, but 1t is now rather COM
forting thought that though the for
eign supply of coal may be temporar-
lily stopped on account of the war, the
needs Of the people may be supplied
from the Andoen island. Mining meth

than in 1867 or 1892 and it would be
much easier to place this coal at the
disposal of the people now than it was

lie institutions? Do the out. of-tOwn
merchants ever donate a dollar to
the cause of charity or help take care
of the needy in Darlington? When
the death angel hovers over your
home and one of your children is
called, do the out-of town merchants
ever offer any assistance, or follow
the little form TO its last resting place.
No, it is your own home merchant
who comes to the front and in an
humble way renders what assistance
he can, il is your home merchant
who sells you what you need on a
credit and waits patiently for the pay
when you are in hard luck or work
is slack. How much credit could
you get from the out-of-town mer-
chant! If you were in destitute cir
cumstanceS and your children were
crying for bread you could not get a
dollars worth of flour from the men
outside Of Darlington with whom you
have been spending your money.
The fact is but little is ever made by
going away from home to trade and
oftener counting all expenses there
is a loss that can never be replaced.
The dollar once sent out of Earring
ton is forever gone and no commun.
ity can expect to be prosperous where
the people do not trade at home.
You make your money in Darlington
why not spend it in Darlington where
it will be kept in circulation and
eventually come back TO you. The
same dollar that buys load of coal
will be spent by the coal man for
drygobds and by the drygoods man
for groceries and by the groceryman
for meat and by the meat man for
repairing a fence and so will continue
a ceaseless round of activity in the
community. Just now while other
things are working adversely to the
interests of the city, every man in
town should join the Boosters Club,
put his shoulder TO to the wheel and
push hard for the prosperity of Earl
ington, and one of the most essential
things we can do is to begin now
and spend all our money at HOME.
