EDUCATE LEGISLATURE

It is a pity that there cannot
be more men elected to the leg
islature that have a knowledge
of the real needs of the rural and
grade schools of the state. Such
men are needed to aid the state
superintendent in his plans for
greater efficiency. Instead Of
having so many bum politicians
elected to the legislature we
should have goodly number Of
men elected to that body who
have a real knowledge Of what
should be done in the schools in
the way of building a founda-
ton. More money is paid out
each year for our schools than
for any other one purpose and
from financial standpoint alone
we should have men in the leg
islature who have a practical
knowledge of school room work.

3O.5 pounds Of butter: During
a thirty-day test she produced
118 pounds of butter. The COW
is now on the yearly test and
may reach 1900 pounds of but

LIVE AND LET LIVE is
REAL CREED
Whv Should Home Merchants
Not Be Given a Chance to
Bid For Orders Sent to
Distant Markets

When DRUGGIST A. buys his
groceries of B. who in turn buys
his hardware of c., who buys
his dry goods of E: who buys
his drugs and medicines of A, is
it not plain that they each help
the business of the other and of
their town? Is it not also plain
that not only E but also the 9TH
ers are likely to buy drugs Of
A. and groceries of B, and hard
ware of C, and clothing of D.,
and dry goods of E? And not
only that but that the whole
community is likely to buy Of
A, B, C, D, and E just as A, B.
C, D and E also buy from the
rest of the community? 1t is
the same way in selling: What
one sells to another the latter is
able to sell or consume and thus
make or save a profit, and I'M
less a business is fairly profit
able it cannot last.
Now what would be the result
if each of them should do their
buying in Chicago or New York,
and, because they begrudge their
neighbor at home fair profit in
his line should force him to get
out of business, or do his buying
or selling in some distant mar
ket? What would become of our
grocery stores, our drug stores
and the many other business en-
terprises that go to make up a
good live town? And how would
! it profit anybody to have a dead
town and a little business in
place of live town with plenty
of business? Would the grocer
make more money when the rest
of the community bought gro
ceries of Shears & Sawbuck
Would the clothing and hard
ware men save anything by fore
ing the others to Chicago? 1t is
plain that long distance trading
is too one-sided to be mutually
profitable? When the first cost
/ the transportation charges, the
delays, the uncertainty as tc
getting what one orders, and the
scarcity of money due to sc
many sending their money away
for goods, are taken into con-
sideration, does it pay to trade
elsewhere instead of at home
Does it pay the buyer or the
seller or the community in gen
eral to buy and sell in a distant
market? Not as a rule we main
tain. There may be exceptional
cases but as a general policy it
pays best to trade at home or as
near home as possible. We full
ly believe that the average mer-
chant and business man can fur
nish as good goods at a small
cost as the big mail order houses
and still make a modest profit
If he can and will he should have
the chance. Of course he should
advertise what he can do, but if
he does not, make up a list and
show him what you can do else
where. If he is a live business
man he will match your prices
and save you something and still
save profit for himself. If he
is not such a man there are 9TH
ers near your home and they are
generally good advertisers. Hunt
them out and save money by
trading at Observation-Disclosures

CaiTanza Instructs His Representative
to Give Indications That He Will
Accept Proposal for Policing OF
Northern Section of His Country.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-Gen. Car
ranza's representatives on the Next
ican-American joint commission
made to the American members to-
day the admission that the protocol
signed three weeks ago at Atlantic
City had not been ratified. They sup
plemented the admission, however,
with a declaration of the attitude of
the Carranza government and assured
the Americans that the delay il rati-
fication did not signify the rejection
of the agreement which they had
signed after almost three months of
consideration.
The exact character Of the COM
munication from the Mexicans was
not made public but it was evident
at the close Of the conference that
both Americans and Mexicans re-
garded as probable the official sane
ton of the protocol and the resump-
ton Of the sessions at which it has
been planned to discuss questions al
issue between the government of the
United States and Mexico.

the home of Miss Mabel r. Boardman
Of the Red Cross thai a fund of $780,
10000 collected in this country and
offered for relief Of non-combatants

an act would tend to create great pop

civilian populations Of warning ma

for the assistance in rehabilitating
their home and restoring normal liv-

With the forwarding yesterday of

Of intermediary and took the only

tuition to pass them. Except in a few
cases it is anticipated that prosecu-
tons will be dropped.

Immunity from invasion where troops

1T should be pointed out also that

OF Its long experience on the border
has not been subjected to a test ex-
tended through a long enough period.
At any rate 1t Is learned that the Sec
