And another matter worthy of
serious thought is this: Surprising 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 Home.
Remember a store cannot be kept up
with small purchases If 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 a 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.
Help Build Up Your Own Town.
Is il not more to your interest to
helix build up your own little city or
town than to contribute to the up
building of some fara way large city?
Is it not a fact that il your own
town had 10000 population instead of
l 900 1t would be much better for all
residents?
Would there not be much more EN-.
ployment?
Would not the consumption of prod
ucts be greatly increased and conse-
quently a farm within a radius of ten
miles be worth from $40 to $50 an acre
more?
This being the case, is it only a good
thing for the merchant or tradesman
II you buy from him?
p
Or is it equally as good a thing for
you?
True Citizenship.
To Adam paradise was home. To
the enterprising among his descend /
ants home is paradise.
True citizenship Is not all in rallying
round the flag Of our country and sing
Ing HAL. Columbia" |
The true spirit Of patriotism Is shown
by the man who patronizes home In
dustry first. last and all the time.

The magnitude of this Country'S ac.

Indicated in various annual reports
and statements which have just been
published for 1916. Here are the fig

When it IS remembered. observes the
Manufacturers Record. that the rail-
road data included only railroads hav-
ing annual revenues Of Sl,OOO.peO or
more (although their gross earnings
constitute % per cent OF all in the
United Statps). and that the bank
statement does not include either
banks with state charters or trust

Most modern cars are equipped with
demountable rims and carry the tires
inflated on these rims at the rear OF
the car. This neCesSitates heavy sus-
pension brackets. Care should be
taken that these tires are securely

tire weighs considerable, and If not
securely fastened will chafe against

MANY RAIL WRECKS

TRACK IN POOR CONDITION
For Two Years II Has Been lmpcs-
ebIc to Give Trackage and Rolling
Stock Necessary Care-SkiiIed
Labor Lacking.

Central EUrope'S food problems have
during recent months been adversely
influenced by the fact that slowly the
railroads are losing their efficiency and
are no longer able To do their share in
the distribution of these necessities.
The WAY has made heavy demands
upon the lines. and il has been impo>-

the care they require.
For almost two years now the rail
reads have been neglected. This and
the heavy traffic over many of the prin-
cipal lines due 70 ti.,, war have matt

what il was formerly.

The wear on the ties has been unusual
~ severe. a condition which in its turn
has caused Il rapid deterioration OF
tha rails and rolling stock.
+ Lack Of skilled labor has prevented
the state and private railroads from
keeping the rolling stock in good re-
pair. This compelled leSSeninG in
the speed Of trains. a reduction of
carrying capacity of the roads has also
resulted. Locomotives especially are
in poor condition. In their case neg.

II is very doubtful whether in all of
central Europe it would he possible To

Lines Tied Up by Wrecks.
Hardly a week passes without some
wreck. Most of these have been Il
freight trains. since the sweeping re-
auctions in the speed Of passenger
trains were made last fall. The fact
that the lines are then tied up for
hours ut time increases the difficulty
Of the traffic situation.
Last winter thousands of tons Of po'

ruined in this manner. trains having tC

The outlook in railroad matters in
central Europe is extremely gloomy
