TRADE AT HOME.

The Daily Commonwealth has always advocated
q trade at home policy on the part of the people
who live in Greenwood and we repeat that when
it is possible to buy from a home merchant it is
to your advantage as we'll as to his for you to
spend your money with him rather than to send
it out of town. Your home merchant pays taxes
into the city and county treasures. He belongs
to your churches and your lodges. HI helps sup
port your charitable institutions. He is a part
Of the community of which you are a part.
Out of town people solicit your business
through agents and with catalogues. Some offer
just as good merchandise for sale as does the local
dealer but with the local merchant you have the
privilege OF seeing his goods, of knowing person
ally the man who sells them to you. When the
prices are the same you should through civic pride
trade with your home merchant. If your home
merchant cannot, or does not, offer as good a value
as some one else he cannot complain if you buy
your goods from the other fellow.
Some of the agents who solicit the retail bus
mess OF the people are gentlemen, some of them
are not. Some of them can meet you face to face
with an honest proposition while some of them
stoop to low methods of getting business.
Some complaint has been registered recently

tatives in Greenwood and while The Daily Com
monwealth can use no names it takes this method
OF cautioning the people Of this city and vicinity
against buying out Of town when they can gel
the same article from the Greenwood merchants
for the same or less money. The out of town man
has the opportunity Of taking advantage of you,
and you can trust your home merchant. The lat
ter can not take advantage of you if he wanted to.
1t would not be to his advantage to have a dis
satisfied customer in his home town.

WOMEN AND WAR.

Now that momentous national questions are
confronting us, it is fitting that we bring our.
selves face to face with any situation in case hos
tilities are declared. Colleges and universities all
over the country have taken the matter into ser.
ious consideration and have given it thought, the
result of which has promoted serious discussion
and in some cases the actual installation of train
ing courses for men in military tactics.
Just what part the college girls of the country
would play in the scheme of national defense
not apparent as yet. However, judging from past
conflicts, a very considerable amount of aid could
be given by the women Of our colleges. This
might take the form of contributions to various
phases of relief through subscriptions and by our
handiwork in the making Of articles for the Red
Cross.
Already we have given willing subscriptions
for the aid of the men in the trenches, but do we
realize just what it meant? Were we called upon
to give our services in actual work, we. would give
even more willingly in any way we could. The
most that we could accomplish would be but a
very poor effort if We had not given it serious
thought and somewhat prepared ourselves.
The patriotic spirit that is in every loyal
Americans heart would be stimulated in the event
of hostilities. That the women of the colleges
could play a very vital part and be of great SER
vice to the country, is demonstrated by their show
of loyalty to certain movements in the past and
in their present interest in the industrial affairs
of the world. 1t cannot be said in what form the
call for service may come, but it is certain that
The women of the country would meet every ext
yency.-Ward- Belmont Hyphen.
