THOUGHTLEsSNESS VS.. THRIFT.

That many people who send home dollars out OF town
for what they get in Ell Centre do thoughtlessy
is the opinion of j. r. Fahs furniture department man
ager of the Imperial Valley Hardware Company. In
speaking of The Press ''1rade at Home campaign, Mr.
Fahs had the following to say this morning:
"The words home trade have been considerably
abused In many campaigns in which local buying has
been urged sentimental for home purchasing have
been advanced The duty Of people of community to
their merchants the appeal to the sense OF loyalty
and the need Of support have often formed the bulk OF
the argument when the merchants themselves dormant
and unprogressive mered support unless as objects
Of charity
MEN and women whether in large city or small
town, have, to large extent the discriminating
tastes the same desire for service and the merchant
realizing at all his obligation must them Just be-
cause business pays taxes in certain community
is not sufficient insure his patronage by the citizens
He must deliver the goods.
It is quite generally conceded that E Centre mer-
chants keen to anticipate wants. quick to show the
newer things and ready to accommodate They're not
asking for consideration they do not deserve They are
broadmnded enough cticise the shopper for 60
ing out of town. if they have failed receive here the
service which they have right to expect.
"a good deal Of out-of-town shopping is occasoned
by thoughtessness. When reminded, the Out-of-town
buyer often remarks could have done we'll better
here but did not think to look but notwithstanding the
apology the loss of home trade is there just the same
and lust because someone did not think.

he will take far better of you than any sinterested

EVOLUTION OF LIGHTS
IS INTERESTING TOPIC

1t is seldom that the complete de-
velopment of an industry or the gen.
eral application of scientific discov-
cries, can be accomplished within
generation. The utilization and de-
velopment of steam for power, manu-
facture of steel, art of printing and
many kindred discoveries extend back
into the preceding century.
The telephone. gas, electricity for
light, heat and power, have, how
ever, come into general use within
our own memory. Our grandmoth-
crs recall the tallow candle as the
common method of lighting; the ker-
osene lamp gave way to gas, which,
in turn, is supplanted by the modern
electric :ight-changes that cease to
cause wonder in these days of mir
acles. The telephone now an indis-
pensable convenience in our daily life,
is so new as to be used with trepida-
tion by some of the older generation.
From small local telephone ex-
changes we were brought overnight
INTO audible touch with distant cities.
Isolated electrical plants, serving a
small community have grown into gi-
gantic systems extending into many
states.
Great as have been the physical
changes in the public utility field, no
less has there been marked evolu-
tion in financing, operation and regu-
lation. The small local telephone eX-
change, central station and gas plant,
owned by the president Of the towns
First National Bank and few prom
inent citizens, has merged into vast
organizations whose stocks and bonds,
aggregating hundreds Of millions, are
held by thousands of investors
throughout the land. From the su-
pervision of the local superintendent,
who acted as manager, engineer, me-
ter reader and general trouble man
for the small local plant, the man
agement of the modern utility is con
trolled from a general headquarters
perhaps hundreds of miles away. In
stead of being at the mercy of un-
scrupulous and mercenary local com
panies, with attendant high rates and
poor service, the public now have the
protection of railroad commissions
end other regulatory bodies.
This concentration, scientific oper-
alton and management likewise tends
to afford the utmost financial stabil-
ity to the utilities, as is evidenced by
the fact that, whilst the hard times
preceding the European war threw
many industries and even railroads
into receivers hands, it is fact worth
noting that electric, gas and similar
utilities have shown consistent and
steady growth in net earnings, with
rot a single failure due to depres-
sion in business. The stocks and
bonds of public utilities, as a conse-
ouence, are fast coming into favor
as private investments.

PRINTING 500 YEARS

q manuscript of the Cistercian or
der. done in the early half of the
twelfth century, which bears witness
to the discovery OF the principle of
printing 500 years before the date
generally recognized for that dis
covery.
The book belongs to Wilfried M
Voynich of London, England.
The manuscript in question deals
with the teachings of st. Augustine.
The startling feature is in the de-
corative initials. These show the
same style for every use of the same
letter. and the raised impress on the
reverse of the page proves that, in

BITTERLY BssAILS GERARD
Won Reventlow Accuses Him of Civ
ing Out War Information.

Amsterdam, Feb. 10 (Via Londonl.
Count Won Reventlow devotes the
leading editorial in the Berlin Tages
Zeitung to-day to an attack on James
w. Gerard, former American ambas-
sador, whom he accuses of having
used his official position deliberate
ly to transmit important war infor-
nation to the entente by way Of
America.
MANY indications" he writes,
have continually pointed to the the
ory that the uncontrolled cable SER
vice and letter service to the Unit
ed States permitted to the American
embassy had also been an uncontroll-
ed method of communication with
London and Paris. This was best
illustrated in the events which led to
the capture and execution of Sir
Roger Easement. Thus London
learned In good time of the enter
prise which led Easement to the Irish
coast, and his capture followed
American Ambassador Gerard and
his personnel were the ones who de.
livered the honorable Irishman &c
the hangman."
An attack on American newspaper
service from Berlin is appended, ,ant
the article closes with an expression
of hearty thankfulness that Mr.. Ger
ard has left Berlin.
