Submarine Has Not Turned
The Trick.

Frank Simonds, the great war ex-
pert, has written an article for Farm
and Preside in which he says:
"Half the advantage of superior
German preparedness was swept
away when the British fleet made il
possible to transform America into
the factory and granary of the Allies.
II will be the verdict of history that the
defeat of Germany was made in the
United States, at least the Germans
already attribute to American help
the protraction of the war. This is
the contribution of sea power.
against sea power Germany had
devised the submarine, or rather she
had relied on the submarine. In her
plans it played the part of the old pri-
vateer. II was commerce destroyer,
and what it undertook to do was to
prey upon commerce, upon the COM
aDrce on which depended the very
life of Great Britain, since without
imports she would starve to death.
Yet despite all the sensational success
es of the submarine, it has failed in
its purpose. II has not isolated Brit
ain, it has not produced starvation, it
has not even interrupted the flow Of
munitions or of supplies for the allied
armies. II has sunk many merchants
men, but ii will not be the deciding
factor in the war;"

A CONVICT ROAD
Builders Plea American =.
Highway Association.

Ten years ago, when convict road
building had been tried but short
time, a number of engineers made in
quiries Of some of the convicts how
they liked the work. The replies were
all so favorable and prisonerswho had
been employed on roads were so de-
sirous of further service Of that kind
that one of the engineers wrote the
following poetical version of one Of
the convict's plea to be sent to road
camp:
Oh, take me back to the convict
camp,
Put me to work on the grade;
/ like the scent of the canvas tent
And the bunk the Sergeant made.
Just take me out of this pesky Jail
To the camp and Gods fresh air,
Away from the shack where the
small grayback
Skiddoos through my uncut hair.
Oh, take me back to the dining tent
MO feed with the bunch again,
Where every man gets well filled
pan
And eats till he gets pain,
Just give me suit of Kentucky jeans
The same as you did before,
And I'll serve my time without a
whine
And chip in a few months more.
Oh take me back to the village of
tents
SPm sick Of this prison cell
YIN an old hobo and ! think ] know
When ! strike good hotel.
please send me back today if you
can,
Just forget about your fee,
I've been there once and served six
months
And the road mans Jail suits me.

HOME and THE
HOME MERCHANT
The Seminary Of All Other In
situations.
HOME PARADISE TO ADAM

By Home Buying the Consumer Helps
Not Only His Town, but Helps Him
self-EVery Man With a Heart Loves
Home and Town-Some Should Be
Conscience Stricken.
copyrighted, 1914. by Thomas ]. sullivan.l
Only the home can found a state. IL
is the seminary Of all other institu-
lions. There is magic in that little
word home. 1t is a mystic circle that
surrounds comforts and virtues never
known beyond its hallowed limits.
We need not power or splendor,
Wide hall OF lordly dome.
The good, the true, the tender
These form the wealth Of home.
Destroying Your Paradise.
The retail mail order houses are try
ing to destroy your home and your
paradise by inducing you to buy your
necessaries from them instead of your
local merchants, to the injury Of your
home industries, home market and
home town
There is 30 much difference in buying
goods Of q home place Of business and
ordering them by mail from a cata-
logue house from mere picture or de-
scription that want to point out a
few facts that many may never have
thought Of.
May Examine and Select.
At the home store you make your
wants known; the salesman shows you
the desired article, helps select or sug-
gest the article best suited to your
needs.
Thus you have an opportunity to ex-
anime the quality.-tO see the style, to
select the size and color. as the case
may be; you can compare the different
grades. and then II everything is salts
factory and in your judgment the price
Is right you will make the purchase.
Will Exchange or Refund.
When you get home and upon rigid
examination you find flaw or mar on
your purchase. or the article may be
too large or too small. or black In
stead OF a blue. then the next day or
the week after you go to your dealer
and explain. and he will gladly ex-
change the item or refund the money.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-10-25

And another mattsr worthy VI
serious thought IL this: Supposing the
mail order houses could sell goods
cheaper and everybody would order his
goods from them.
The local stores would soon exist
only in memory. You would then be
at the mercy Of the mail order houses
entirely and be obliged to send away
for everything.
Buy Big Things at Homo.
Remember a store cannot be kept up
with small purchases IL the local mon
ey is sent away for the big things.
This method will result only in ruin
ing your home trade and in helping to
build up an enormous corporation in
some faraway city.
The failure to patronize home mer-
chants decreases the value Of farms,
and town property becomes less valu-
able, as you well know that If q town
goes back both local and surrounding
values decrease.
Send your money away; you get
nothing but the goods. Spend your
money at home; it will come back to
you in better towns, better stores and
better social advantages.
HeIp Build Up Your Own Town.
Is 1t not more to your interest to
help build up your own little city OF
town than to contribute to the up
building of some faraway large city3
Is II not a fact that II your owl
town had 10000 population instead o
1000 II would be much better for al
residents?
Would there not be much more en-
ploymentf
Would not the consumption OF prod
ucts be greatly increased and conse
Quently a farm within a radius Of ter
miles be worth from $40 to $50 an acre
more?
This being the case, is it only a goot
thing for the merchant or tradesmar
II you buy from himf
Or is it equally as good thing FOL
you?
True Citizenship.
To Adam paradise was home. tt
the enterprising among his descend
ants home is paradise.
True citizenship is not all in rallyinl
round the flag Of our country and sing
ing Hail. Columbia"
r
The true spirit Of patriotism is shown
by the man who patronizes home In
dustry first, last and all the time.
