Why 1t Pays to Buy AT HOME

WHY 1T PAYS TO BUY AT HOME.

Lives there man with a soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This IS my own, my native city?''"
Why not have faith in our own city?
Our future success is built on conf
dence and a man who is welded to
doubt always finds that his days have
been wasted. So let US buy at home
and help our city grow.
Some will say: "Why buy at home,
when we can save from 20 to 80 cents
on every dollar buying away from
home?" They have not stopped to
think of the time they wasted waiting
for: these things to be sent which very
often are unsatisfactory, nor have
they counted the cost of having these
things sent to them.
They do not seem to know that it is
because other cities have $50 many
people to buy from them and so much
cash sent from other cities that they
are, able to sell cheaper. If all the,
aQeople who spend their money away
S,n home would spend it here our
merchants would be able to buy

R|CH VALUES IN
 SUDDEN STRIKE

(. R- Bone. secretary of the Chloride Mining company, was the first man to reach Phoenix after the reported strike at the Chloride mine Mir. Bone ar rived in the city yesterday, and said that the word which had been received here of rich strike on the property owned by the company was positively authentic. He is most enthusiastic over the mine, and declares it will be one of the richcFt properties in the state.
 The strike was made on Sunday at the 424-foot level. In driving a cross cut the strike was made on ledge 29 feet wide carrying gold. silver lead and zinc. with a chute feet wide of solid metal carrying better than $S0 values.
 The strike was not expected at this point. II Was looked for in the no tn ledge, and the main strike will prob ably be there before many days. ac- cording to Bone. There are two other edges to tap. where It is expected stiil larger ore bodies will be found
 Tt is a biz concentrating proposi- tion,' said Bone. There is plenty of money behind the mine, and We lool, for a mill and machinery on the ground before many moons"
 IL is understood that the manage ment had confidence in the mine wniie t was yet a prospect, and that the plant and equipment to handle the ore had already been ordered

Need of a Budget

The consideration of the general appropriation bill in the committee of the whole in the house adds to the biennial proof of the need of budget system The appropriation committee, after making study of the needs of the various offices and in stitutions from such data as available. presented the bill The whole committee is going it mak- ing changes one day canceng them the next and ad- hitting that it knows little or nothing about the subject under consideration. Heads of departments are called in and generally they their invitations as sign of encouragement to ask for more, and gen. orally they do hesitate to ask Some of the mem bers assume that these heads know better what they want than anybody else could know and favor ac- cepting their views final In the end in order to bring the total bill within required limits. there must be horizontal reduction of the items at which. all guessing has been going and we shall have completed bill which is itself product of guesswork We may concede that none of the heads of the de- partments want to squander the money for which they ask but they ask enough that they will be sure they enough and if it happens to be more will be absorbed.
 Every head of institution has a greater inter- est in his institution any other than in all others, in the state. He has not, therefore, true perspective and is the right to judge or to say how much his institution should receive. That should be the duty of a disinterested that is, less interested in any particular institution but with equal in all institutions There should be central impartial board composed of such men, to
 up budget in the interest of the whole state and whose interest include the welfare of the taxpayers.

NEUTRAL U. s. BIG
 AID TO THE ALLIES

Without in the least wishing to impugn the statement by MT. Hay ward in regard to the feeling in Aus tralia and Canada toward the United States as being unfriendly, 1 think said Thomas r. Ivy Of New Ramp shire. that it can be criticised as conclusion drawn from too marrow views. It is quite unbelievable that d majority of those who think, in any of the allied states. fail to recognize that the neutral position of. our gov ernment has been of the greatest aid to the allied cause. As confirming this view, let me repeat, in substance, what Mir. Snow, distinguished mem Der of the kings bench of Toronto, said to me a few days ago here in Washington.
 All Canada, he said. was pleased when President Wilson was reelected. We knew what had been his policy and could reasonably look for it's con . tlnuation. We did not want the United States to declare war on Germany. As neutral the United States supplied us with food, ammunition and guns the three things We absolutely needed l Without this help from the United States before we became organized, as we now are, our situation would have been extremely hazardous. Therefore
 l repeat that President Wilson in be- ing neutral has been the best possible l friend to the allies.

Find Out the Facts

The Jacksonville Times Union thinks that Uncle Sam might ask why American manufacturer of shells can compete with British rival in England and can't compete with him in the United That is just what Uncle Sam should inquire and il is just what he should find out It might be discovered that the American manufacturer could compete with British manufacturer in England because the British manufacturer could the shells in sufficient quantity to meet the British demand and that the American manufacturer called upon to make up the deficiency But that is only part of the question
 AS to the success of British manufacturer in competition with American manufacturers at home It is not enough to make accusations against the fairness honesty and patriotism of the American manufacturers. Whatever the trouble is it should be discovered and when is discovered it should be remedied- If we to adopt any plan for preparing ourselves to meet possible enemy attacks the ability to manufacture at home all the shells that any emrg ency might require will be part of it. It accomplshes nothing to utter unproven charges or to harbor unfounded suspicious. It is facts that are needed and the facts should be brought out in time Of peace and the remedy supplied is too late

Hidden Purposes

Very frequently there is much in a bill presented in the legislature appear the surface that is not clearly set forth in the typewriter printed page Now, for instance there is the wild animal bounty bill which seemed plain if ever bill plain and above board. It could mean nothing else "a purpose rid the state of at least greatly reduce the number of predatory beasts which ravage flocks and herds, and the smaller animals which lay waste the fields of the husbandman- prairie dogs, gophers and jackrabbts.
 We wondered the persistence of Senator Rob- in insisting that the bounty the rodents and the J. rabbits be mandatory rather than within the discretion of boards of supervisors. MT Roberts has been down by failures for he has another card up his sleeve. Perhaps he would have done better to play earlier in the game, but still is not yet too late play it with the result of capturing the desired trick
 In the various debates the bill he dwelt with eoquence upon the ravages of the rabbits and the gophers their paralysis of the dry farming industry of Cochse. The senate gathered from his impas- stoned remarks that he pleading only for the crops of the dry farmers and could discern another purpose of the bill make these animals of to the dry farmers Sulpher Springs and other valleys which the magic touch of water from irrgating canals has not yet been applied
  from an engmatca remark of the in private discussion of the bill. We must do something for these dry farmers" he said i've must give them some visible support We must make them able to connect somehow"
 The evident meaning of the was that if the supervisors were compelled to pay the penalty the dry farmers would be independent of the eccen- tricities of the early and the rain It would be nothing to them whether school kept or not With the pleasures of the hunt there would be mingled the greater pleasure of the profit It is easier to pursue the festive jackrabbt at five apiece over the fields than it is to plant cultivate and garner the inert and unresponsive pumpkin. More true joy IS found in delvng after the gopher than unearthng the uncertain potato
 We think if Senator Roberts spreads these facts before the senate understand he intends to do there will be belated change front in the senate with respect to his amendment

Many lumbermen today are finding

 diamond mine. They are rapidly awakening to the fact that in cutting the timber from their land they have taken the first step toward putting it in position to perform it's true func- tion TT agriculture. Originally, they bought the land incidently along with their timber, and bought it only be- cause the trees were growing or it and they couldn't avoid buying it. In estimating the possible profits from their operation, they rarely, if ever, figured on the cleared land as an asset of any value. After harvesting the timber crop, many of them sold the land for a more song, others held on to 1t. but groaned under the taxes they must pay each year on their

The leaf market experienced pleasant
excitement this week in the informa-
tion that preparations are under way
for large supply of Sumatra directly
from the Island, which will be disposed
to dealers and manufacturers in diff
ferent way than at public inscription,
and is promised to keep the price far
below the rates which prevailed at last
years inscriptions. These arrange
ments are being made not by the syn
dicate that attended to the importa-
tions of last years Sumatra and which
went out of existence yesterday, but
by new Sumatra importing associa-
ton. Under the new arrangement it
is said that dealers and manufacturers
will get such lots as they may desire
at the import price, plus nominal
profit per bale for the members of the
association. A rate has been set that
would appear to be far below the profit
Sumatra importers are making, partic-
ularly at this time when the keen and
pressing demand for it commends any
price. If the arrangement as proposed
is accomplished the cigar industry will
be in position to count on at least a
reasonable price on Sumatra and es-
cape further advance on the cost of
it's production.
In other respects the market moves
in an even tenor of business. All types
of leaf are in steady demand but the
supply of it is too limited to force
brisk business. journal.

LANCASTER, PA, Nov. 7

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. z, 1917.
The past week has been one of ex-
citement in the local tobacco market
Indeed, the excitement has been felt in
other places, too. And all because the
unexpected has happened here. Moth
ing less than a raid on Lancaster
county's new tobacco crop by the same
big outside concerns that for some
years past have been buying up the
bulk of the county's crop at prices that
virtually had the effect of shutting
most of the Lancaster dealers out of
the market The local packers were
relying on the declarations of the rep
resentatives of the big outside con-
Germs, mostly cigar firms, that they
would not think Of buying the new crop
at such prices as growers were de-
manding, % to 25 cents pound for
wrappers, because such prices were not
only unreasonably high but extortion-
ate. AS these concerns had refrained
from following their custom for some
years, which was to buy on the field,
the local men felt easy, feeling fully
convinced that there would be no move
ment on the crop before it was strip
ped. And it was then expected that
there would be big drop in prices, for
it was thought that after stripping the
growers would prefer to sell at lower
prices rather than have their crop lying
in the cellar or shed where there was
danger of it being damaged.
Will they buy as in past years or
take. up certain amount of tobacco
and then stop buying, possibly waiting
for prices to drop as would inevitably
occur if they appeared inclined to de-
sert the market. The growers under
stand quite we'll that the local dealers
could only take up a comparatively
small part of the crop under any con-
ditions so they would hardly endeavor
to maintain existing prices if the big
concerns stopped buying because they
thought prices too high. Just at pres
ent, however, everything is rose-hued
to the grower, and it would be hard to
find one who feels any apprehension of
a break in the market. They can see
nothing else but the golden shower fall
ing upon them. Local packers are not
at all sure that the banks will feel like
financing such high priced tobacco. It
may prove moneymaker and it may
not Nobody can make even decent
guess as to what the market is likely
to be year from now. Uncertain at
all times is the tobacco market, and it
is doubly so now that it is wartime.
