REPUBLICAN TRADE AT HOME DEPARTMENT

copyrighted, l3lA, by Thomas J. Sullivan.
There are many and various kinds Of
robbers loose today in this land Of
plenty, but perhaps the two most I'm
popular OF them are the soil rnbber anC
The community robber- the farmer
who roDs his land of its producing
strength and the consumer who rob,
his community of its dollars.
The high grade. successful farmer is
the one who increases rather than di-
minishes the fertility of his land. Ev-
cry year he changes his crop with that
one object in view. He Subscribes for
ana reads very carefully the agricuI.
tura reports, paying particular atten-
ton to the reports on experiments made
by advanced and progressive farmers.
Why he does this is plain He knows
very well that it would be useless to
plant good seed IN wornout soil IFS
his wish and intention to make a profit
on bis investment in seed and labor as
well as In soil, and this, of course,
could not be accomplished If the soif
were not fruitful.
Bleeding Home Communities
Today there are hundreds of thou
sands OF American citizens who are
bleeding their home communities by
taking ont of the channels of local
trade the money needed to transact
business and sending it to dealers who
do not and who cannot by any pOssl
Die means return it to do its proper
and necessary work in local business
circles
The big city mail order houses that
sell goods at retail through the mpdj
um of catalogues to farmers ana 9th
ers all over the country buy nothing
from their customers They invariably
exchange goods for money. never
money for goods They employ no
labor in the communities where their
customers must earn their living. they
buy no farm products: they own no
real estate; they pay no taxes: they
have no money on deposit in the local
banks; they do not advertise in the
local newspapers they do not give
credit; they do not even pay the freight
on goods they sell Every cent taken
by them out Of the community is per.
manently lost to the business Of that
community
These are all plain and evident
truths. are they not?
We would ask this very same farmer
who would be insuIted were be charg |
ed with neglectng TO keep his soil en-.
riched to the highest possible degree.
TO explain how he can deliberately
rob his community by buying his goods
from ont of town concerns

No Substitute for Bread

When bread ran short in 1912 Napo-
Icons generals tried TO make IN for II
by issuing double, and even triple. ra.
tions of meat, but this, with other
causes, contributed to the diseases
which ravaged the forces. AS far
back as Caesars campaigns there are
records of similar troubles, and Lord
Wolseley in 1.-THE Soldiers Pocket
Book refers to the desirabillty of
making the soldiers rations palatable
as well as abundant.

Bacteria Iona Lived.

How long some bacteria may live un.
der proper conditions is brought out
by M. W. Lyon, Jr., of George Wash
ington university in a letter to Sci
ence. He tells of culture of organ
isms Of paratyphoid beta kept for more
than ten years sealed in a test tube
at Howard university, which, when
transferred to another medium, pro-
duced the reactions that proved the
bacteria to be alive and active.

Division to Two mile Trench

A division, which is the largest body
known in the organization of tbe
American army, will fully man two
miles of trenches. The regulation dis.
lance IN the manning of a trench is a
yard to a man. There are three lines
however, needed to fully man such
defenses-the firing line, which is
down in the trench, a yard behind each
man; the support, which is back a
snort distance, and the reserve.

When Living Was cheap.
