him, yet he had no partn or parcel in
the establishment of that light. Con-
science was tapping, lightly at first,
but as the talk progressed, the sub
ject broadened, and finally the ques-
ton was asked, "What have I done to
maintain the one single light which
probably saved my life?" No salts
factory answer was available.
An inventory taking was then in or
der. One of the children asked, "Who
furnished the light that saved your
life, papa?" That was a disturbing
question. He had to answer, "The
people, of course. Then again from
the child, "What did you pay, papa ?"
and the answer came, Nothing" That
was a strong but simple Indictment
He found that he could not get away
from the question. He looked at the
beautiful library furnishings - the
cases, the books, the tables, the desks,
the chairs, and even the floor cover
ings all Of which had come from a
western mail order house. What had
| he done to help maintain the light :?
Absolutely nothing. Even the suit he
wore and the evening gown worn by
his wife had been bought with mon
ey sent to another city, where he be-
lieved he had gotten better bargains
than could be obtained at home.
One thing he found he had purchas-
ed from the home dealer, the school
books for his children. Of course they
were in the public schools, and they
were ready to admit that no better
schools exist in the country, yet what
were they doing for the support of
the schools? Absolutely nothing. The
couple remembered their early mar,
ried life when thew lived in sparse
i ly settled rural community, where the
roads at times were almost impass
Il able, but all this was changed in the
!, city, where they had spiendidly paved
:. streets and granolithic sidewalks fol
the use of themselves and their chill
! dren. Again the simple question o.
the little child, "Who gives US al
! these good things, papa?" brough
5 forth the answer, "The people, NJ!
child" Glow much do you pay

HOW A MAIL ORDER PATRON WAS
CONVERTED TO BUY AT HOME
(By WILLIAM LONDON)

Last Monday the subject discuss
ed on this page was the "Buy-at-
Home Dollar VS.. The Dollar Spent
Abroad". Today the "Buyat-Home"
editor will tell "How Mail Order
Patron was Converted to Buy at
Home. This woman was a leader in
social circles; and she had a splendid
husband and was surrounded by all
the comforts her heart could desire.
Her children were growing up, and
being educated in the public schools
The husband had climbed from the
bottom rung, until he was we'll up on
the ladder of success. In fact, he had
what is termed an "easy job" with
good pay. His money came easy and
went easy.
This couple had formed a mistaken
idea of the true life. They were not
home builders, although their splen-
didly equipped quarters was the So
cial center for the neighborhood.
They lived in a rented house, beauti-
fully furnished by a western mail
order house. Even their clothing,
their shoes, and so far as they could
obtain them, their grocery and table
supplies came from out of town con-
Germs. In fact, they had the email
be cheaper to pay rent and save the
order fever. They figured it would
interest on an investment in a home,
as we'll as the taxes and insurance
which are necessary expenses incur
red by property owners. These people
were just plain every day Americans
They had some mistaken notions
about living, but when they once re-
allied the fallacy of their methods
they became real city builders.
Zone dark night the husband was er
route to his home from work awaited
! by his wife and children. He had ar

might have resulted seriously, as he

from severe injury. In discussing tn,

Use carbon bisulphide, one ounce
Of the bisulphide to each barrel OF
stored grain or each 100 pounds Of
grain. Tie ball of tow to stick
that will reach the middle Of the YES

will suck up the bisulphide as a

placed in barrels and the bisulphide
put into a saucer of deep soup plate

prevent the escape of the heavy, pol

That the efficiency of the average

lions is the opinion Of DR.. c. w. Nc
Campbell, associate professor of AMI

Water the horse frequently during

ties Of water, and frequent watering
will overcome the dangers that result
from watering freely at long Intervals.
Feed regularly ration uniform both
as to kind and as to amount. This
lessons the danger from collie and 9TH
er digestive disturbances.
Eliminate lice, worms and flies, for
they may decrease the efficiency or
the work horse so per cent and In
crease the feed bill % per cent.
Clean the collar every time 1t is put
on the horse and keep its bearing sur

Sponge Off the work horse when be
comes in from work, especially WnerO
the collar and other parts Of the har'
ness have left marks. Sponge out Ills

thoroughly with cold water, but do
not turn the hose on his body or legs
Wash his shoulders every night for a

Allow him to stop in the shade for

Groom the work horse thoroughly
This will save feed and will increase

But one of the most interesting
features to be found on the ground
is in the agricultural hall, itself
true representation of the Weakley
county farm showing the varied
crops produced here and this is the
why of the contentment, the happl-
ness and the prosperity of the Weak
ley county farmer.
This feature referred to is the sew
eral exhibits of the Weakley county
community Corn Clubs. These ex-
hibits are the pride of the Corn Club
boys and include all farm crops.
The arrangement was left to the
boys and their friends and if you fail
to see these you will have missed the
best feature of the fair.
Among the number Of clubs rep
resented up to Tuesday morning
we're the Greenfield Training School
club, which sent delegation of boys
over to put up the exhibit. Next
is that of Jackson Academy COM
munity club, and it is beauty.
Then we come to the Seventh district
Corn Club exhibit, where will be
found many fine specimens of farm
and garden produsts. The Central
High Sshool boys show their patriot
ism and interest in the fair with an
exhibit second to none and chock
full of many things good to eat and
to look at. Then on down the long
line of interesting, inviting, attrac.
tive exhibits we come to that Of
Weakley county"s most progressive
scientific farmer, Hon. Allen Sharp
whom the boys say they are going
1 to send to the legislature next time
Mr.. Sharp has an exhibit Of prod
ucts of Maplewood Seed Farm, ant
here you will find seeds, corn, vege
tables grasses, but the thing tina
/ will attract you most is the specimen
of fine corn planted on June 26, ant
which is fully matured Mr.. Sharl
is proud of this corn and wants yol
to see it.

boys of Hyndsver, who RENDERED
valuable assistance last August a

der Mr.. Maddox, came in later in tn
Il day with their splendid exhibit show
J ing the things produced on the farm
in that section of the county,
