What Do Mail Order Houses Do for
You and the Town You Live In?

Columns have been written in tn,
local newspapers Of Nevada to show
the viciousness of the mail order
habit that seems to be firmly fixed
especially among the inhabitants O.
small towns and rural districts. a
huge catalogue, alluringly printed il
colors, showing everything from a
Partisan gown at $l.69 to a moving
machine for 1920, catches the eye u
the rural buyer and he Immediately
begins to figure just how much he is
being swindled II of by his local
! merchant, forgetting that the mer-
chant is selling him a standard arti-
Gle and stands back of it with a guar
antee; that he is on the spot 20 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 $8,464,713 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 business
came from the western farming and
industrial centers. 1t means that
hundreds of communities were drain

In these days OF standardized arti-
cles a purchaser gets just what ne
pays for. This applies equally to
automobiles as to furniture, sewing
machines, cream separators or ging-
ham gowns. No farmer would think

any Of the thousand or one things
that fill the pages Of the catalogues
from these oncern: and see wha'
You will get in reply.
With the exception of the stock
market, the mail order business is the
| only business in which the entire cap
ital is advanced by the trader in adj
vance of the transaction. Further
more, it is a strictly cash business,
hence there are no risks, no bad
debts and no necessity for the need
to make immediate delivery to he
customer which means capital tied up
indefinitely. Did you ever stop TO
realize what it would mean to your
home town and county in the way Of
more taxable property, better streets
and roads, better schools and local
improvements if these millions sent
away, never to return, were invested
right here as they should be? What
would you say to your home mer-
chant if he were to ask you to pay in
advance for every article you pur-
chased from him insight and unseen,
and then be compelled to wait for two
or three weeks for delivery? But this
is what you do every time you send
for anything from a mail order house.
Do you know that there is not a
local paper published in any town IN
this country but that can get more
money for advertising and boost
from mail order houses, if it
but accept it, than it can get
all the merchants Of the town
in which it is printed? But news
papers realize that a community is
builded by the money that is sent
out of it.
Try to imagine what would be the
'esult if this mail order business were
be pushed to a logical conclusion,
when every merchant was compelled
o go out Of business through lack Of
ocal patronage. Suppose you were

FATHER PENN WILL
HAVE GREAT CROP
State Department of Agriculture
Reports Show Big Yields in
Almost Every Line
HESSIAN FLY WAS BAD
Peach Crop Not as Badly Damaged
as Feared-Turkeys Fewer in
Number Now

In spite of the unfavorable weather
conditions, insect pests. fruit tree
feau of Agricultural Statistics for the
bllSht and other drawbacks Pennsyl-
Vania will have right sizable crops this
year. Reports made to the State Bu-
last month show that the crops will be
of an extent which would have been
considered very fine ten years ago. al
though by contrast with the eXtraordi-
nary yields of last year they will not
show up so we'll.
For instance. 1t is stated that the
wheat crop was damaged only five
per cent. by the Hessian fly which
was very troublesome in the Lebanon
valley and in Berks county, but not as
bad in Montgomery, Chester and other
counties as 1t was in 1914. The fly
was reported in counties in this section
along with about thirty others. 1t is
believed that the loss from the fly will
be only half as great as a year ago.
The harvest was later than usual this
year. ranging from July in south
ern counties to July 20 in the north
ern tier.
Estimates on the oats crop made by
L. H. While, chief of the bureau from
the reports show that 100000 acres
were set out and that the production
will be about 33.5 bushels per acre and
that the total will run close to 37,017,-
500 bushels, an increase of five million
bushels over 1914.
Corn stands at "a per cent. COM
pared with a ten-year average early
In August and the production this
year is estimated at 81 bushels per
acre or a total of 56,314,000 bushels.
"a drop of almost 100000 bushels as
compared with 1914. Weather, frosts
and pests have injured the crop in
some counties.
An acreage of 277.20O as given for
buckwheat, slightly less than last year
with possibility of 1913 bushels, per
acre or total of 5,44S,500 bushels.
Reports show that the area planted
to tobacco is 95 per cent. of last year,
or 1,500 acres with Il probable pro-
duction of 44,305.000 pounds against
1895, 900 last year. The crop condition
is 81 per cent. of an average for ten
years.
Hay acreage is given as s,015,OOO
acres with a prospect of 1.1S tons per
acre. Last yeal the production was
4,020,00 tons.
Potato production is estimated at
24,493,0 900 bushels, which will be above
the acreage, but not as great as last
year. The production per acre is esti-
mated at 89.6 bushels.
Detailed information on the fruit
crops is that in addition to there be-
ing the usual shortage OF crop tollOW-
ing a heavy year such as 1914 late
frosts. fire blight high winds and hail,
caterpillars and other pests damaged

ably below normal yields. Peaches
are reported the most advanced, the
condition of the crop being IT Of an
average for ten years at this time
apples 90 per cent; pears 5S per cent,

S727 MILDLY Blouse for Misses and
Small Women, 10 and I8 years.

The belted MILDLY is a new one of the
season. Here, it is made of white linen
with trimming of the awning stripes that
make such an important feature of sum-
mer fashions. The belt confines the full
ness slightly and is buttoned into place,
so that the garment can be drawn over
the head without difficulty. The combina-
tion of a striped material with a plain
one is one of the best liked of the season,
but trimming always can be varied and
Just now we are wearing middies of color
as we'll as of white and the colored linens
galateas and the like are singularlv
attractive. If the sleeves are cut in
elbow length, they are finished with rolled
over cuffs; when they are long, they are
finished with cuffs joined to the lower
edges, but in both cases the cuffs are
straight and consequently are adapted to
striped materials.
For the 10 year size will be needed AZ

BY DOROTHY DIX.

u Among the most popular hors
d'oeuvres is Deviled Mother-in-Law.
Indeed, although this dish is highly
indigestible and certain to disagree
with every one who partakes of 1t, 1t
practically forms the staple diet of
most families, where 1t is not only
served at the beginning of a meal, but
also at the end and frequently through
the middle.
There are fifty-seven different va
rieties of Deviled Mother-in-Law, each
household having Its own cherished
receipt, and each a little more acid
and vinegary and full of pep than the
other. Not only is this the case, but
men and women vie with each other
in concocting this savory relish until
it is hard to say whether the husband
or the wife is the greater artist In its
manufacture. Hence 1t is not at all
uncommon to see two Deviled Moth
ers-in-Law served up at the same
table at the same time.
Strictly speaking, Deviled Mother
in-Law is a family dish, especially
when II is particularly highly sea-
soned, but occasionally 1t Is passed
around to guests and acquaintance
This, however, is not good form.
Deviled Mother-in-Law, like ripe
watermelon should only be partaken
of in the privacy of the home circle.
Good taste demands this.
Also, it is to be observed that one
of the peculiarities of this plate is
that while we all have an Unsuitable
appetite for the Deviled Mother-in-
Law of our own make, we do not in
the least care for that prepared by
our friends, and a very little of It
satiates us and pals upon our palate.
To obtain a Mother -in-Law for
deviling it is never necessary to
either buy II or to go out and hunt
for one yourself. 1t is always wished

Man Commits Suicide
Rather Than Surrender
By .4Ssocfnted Prcr.

Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 16. - David
Johnston was found dead this morn
ing beneath a window of his home in
Lurgan, County Armagh, in which for
two days he had withstood siege of
the constabulary. A bullet wound be-
low his eye and an empty revolver
clutched in his hand indicated he had
used his last cartridge to cheat the
police.
Johnston, who is believed to have
been mentally responsible precipitated
the trouble on Saturday by firing at

upon you, and whatever kind you get
you are sure to think that 1t is the
very worst that ever happened, and
you would have preferred any other
known variety.
Occasionally q man undertakes to
make a confection of his Mother-in-
Law by stewing 1t down in a syrup of
sweet words and loving attentions
and sugary compliments. This is
never done unless the Mother-in-Law
belongs to the species known as the
Rich Widow, which is simply bulging
with money.
The results In such cases are said
to be 80 highly satisfactory that the
men who cook up Mother-in-Law in
this way are enabled to knock off all
other work, and to ride in automo-
bileS, and drink vintage wine, and live
on lobster Newburg and planked
steaks, and only use Mother-in-Law
as a sweetener.
So far as Is known, women have no
knack at preparing any variety of
sweetened Mother-in-Law, and never
try their hands at anything but devil
Ing 1t. AS a matter of fact, men sell
dom attempt 1t either, for 1T seems to
be the consensus of opinion that to do
anything but pickle a Mother-in-Law
is as unnatural as it is to make soup
out of buttermilk, or to put sugar on
fish, or pepper on Strawberries. Some
people commit these gastronomic
crimes, but they show a queer and
exotic taste.
To devil a Mother-in-Law man
style, take the Mother-in-La that
you have unconsciously acquired by
marriage, and give it the once over TO
see where the tender spots are. It is
sure to have a few sensitive places
q bNr pn re
full study. Then get out your hammer
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-08-16

and knock these until they are beaten
into jelly. OF course you can do
this much more thoroughly If your
the house, but with persistence you
can turn out a neat job even when
Mother-in-Law Is far away. Then
you can give 1t absent treatment,
which serves every purpose.
Having carefully prepared Mother
in-Law, make a sauce as follows:
Take a ton of criticism, the more
acid the better; barrel of ridicule, q
bushel of assorted prejudices, and
an unlimited amount of determination
not to be bosBed by the wife's
mother. Dissolve all of these in
plenty of temper, and steep the
Mother-ln-Law in 1t until 1t becomes
sour enough to set your teeth on
edge. Serve this dish with a garnish
of sneers and teers and cold looks
and frozen faces.
Deviled Mother-in-Law q la Bonnie
Femme is prepared much in the same
way Women. however, always begin
making this dish by separating the
Mother-in-Law from the son 1t adores
This breaks it's heart and makes il
easy to pickle. Having thus prepared
the Mother-in-Law for the picking
process, the housewife submerges IT
in sauce the basis of which is teal-
ousy, but to which have been added
equal parts of temper, nerves, stingi-
ness and malice. Add no salt to this
mixture, as the tears of the Mother
in-Law make it sufficiently briny. Let
the Mother-in-Law soak in this mix
ture until it acquires the desired pep
perry flavor.
Deviled Mother-in-Law is highly
recommended as a hot weather dish
as It is guaranteed to send the tenn
perature of any table about which ii
is freely passed down to zero.
