Hospital for MOrriSviIle

Hon. g. F.. Smith has made generous
proposition to the people of Morrisville
and vicinity which it seems as if they
ought to accept. He offers residence
of II rooms, with space for the finishing
of five additional rooms, plot of Is
acres, including an evergreen grove, all
eligibly situated upon beautiful crest,
at any sum which three disenterested
parties might value it; and further offers
to subscribe a thousand dollars toward
the money needed for the purchase price
and endowment thereof, in case the peo-
pie will take hold and make vigorous
canvass. If Morrisville will only take
hold of the project in the same way that
Springfield has with hers, there can be
no doubt of the ultimate success of the
project. Springfield now has large and
we'll equipped building upon which there
is debt of but one thousand dollars, to
offset which she has in the bank over
$500 for engagements when needed,
and a small endowment fund accruing
interest. And the institution has been
running less than two years. Go ahead,
Morrisvlle, and do US one better, if you
car. -Sprngfiald Reporter.

Beaver Patrol 1

Beaver Patrol No. l, met at the school
house, Jan. 49, There was one Scout
absent because of sickness. Sixteen Wis
itors were present, most of them gave
some interesting and helpful remarks.
Some of the Scouts gave a talk on the
hike last Saturday. They all reported
good time. The usual business was trans-
acted and also some new business. The
meeting was adjourned by giving the
Order vi Staff and yell.
Those who availed themselves of the
invitation given by Scout Master Leon
Bailey to attend the meeting of the
Scouts last Wednesday evening and OBJ
serve the work which the boys are doing
felt very highly repaid. The boys have
made remarkable progress and do both
themselves and their Scout Master much
credit. Let us all take hold and boost
this most worthy movement all we can.

Mail Order Competition

The parcel post has resulted, as was
generally expected, in large increase Of
the mail order business. Some mer-
chants bewail this condition and never
cease to complain about the unfairness
of the system that provides such easy
facilities for this form of trade.
Other merchants, instead of complain
ing, imi ate the mail order method with
great success. They start campaign
for educating the people along the coun-
try roads about the advantages they get
by buying in nearby centers. They show
them how the uear-home store simply
has to keep only substantial and reliable
goods, or it could never hold its trade.
Also they can often get their goods the
day they order them and if the stuff
does not prove as represented, satisfac-
tion is guaranteed They do not have
to go through with the veatious pro-
cess of trying to get satisfaction out of
some vast impersonal machine of great
mail order house.
The bulk of the trade that goes to
mail order houses would go to stores
near home, if people knew what the
home store has to SELL The local news
paper is both catalogue and solicitor for
home merchant and the one means by
which he can beat the big mail order
