THE WISH AND THE DEED.

A dry goods merchant was start
ing down town when his wife re-
minded him of his most important
duty during the day: ''Now, my
dear, be sure and send to the city
for that new buggy, so we can have
it for Sunday. You know our old
rig is getting so that it isn't fit to to
be seen"
Just a few blocks away the We
hicle and implement dealer was sit
ting at breakfast with his family.
The conversation drifted around to
the near approach of school And
| that reminds ne, John" said the
| lady who sat at the head of the ia
BILE, 81 must be going to the city not
| later than next week. I must get
school clothes and see about a fall
suit for myself, and while I'm there,
perhaps l had better see about new
rug for the parlOr and some lace
curtains for the front windows"
An hour later a leading grocer
stepped into the bank to buy draft
which he was going to send to a cat
alogue house for new bedroom
suite.
'How's business?" asked the
banker. "Oh, not so very good" re-
piled the grocer. Things are dull
just now"
Before the banker finished writ
ing out the draft a dapper young
man with Il smile stepped up and !
asked how everything was. The /
banker seemed glad to see him. He .
was a representative of a big print !
ing establishment m another state.
He ch&tted pleasantly with the
' inn +a=
which the young man casually of his
friend behind the window if he
wanted anything. We'll, yes" re-
piled the banker, I believe do.
Print us 5000 checks and a couple
of thousand letterheads.' The young
man thanked his friend and hustled
out.
That night the business men of the
town had a meeting to discuss the
growth of the mail order evil, to
make plans for bringing greater
prosperity to the home town. The
dry goods merchant, the vehicle and
implement dealer, the grocer and the
banker all made short talks. They
agreed that the ranchers, and the
town folks who persisted in buying
goods from mail order and outside
houses were guilty of treason TO the
home town, that they were the peo-
pie who killed prosperity.
But these men stopped short OF all
the facts. Did you ever see town
making a real success of itself where
the business men were not working
Did you ever see sue
,essful town without successful To-
cal printing shop? Did you ever see
such a print shop successful without
the support of the home banker, the
nome merchant, the home grocer,
and all the home dealers? The print
ing of letterheads, envelopes, state {
nents, circulars and cards is the life
If business for the local print shop
But it doesn't matter if it's job {
printing or bedroom suites, if you {
send the business away, give it to q
outside cities, you deprive the local c
business of the support that makes i
he towns prosperity. 7
The home town must hold the r
business of the ranchers, it needs the c
business of it's citizens, and it needs i
he business of its business men also. L
But none of the ranchers, citizens, f
printers or merchants can t
.rgue business into a town; it must S
,e demonstrated. ?
Ever hear of Chicago or New York a
Jity sending their orders out of t.
own? Reckon not. q

Of the sea, but also of something
much deeper, much more fundamen-
tai than that. I am thinking of
those rights of humanity without
which there is no civilization. My
theme is of those great principles of
compassion and of protection which
mankind has sought to throw about
human lives, the lives Of non-com-
batants, the lives of men who are
peacefully at work keeping the in
dustrial processes of the world quick
and vital, the lives of women and
children and Of those who supply the
labor which ministers to their sus-
tenance. We are speaking of nc
selfish material rights but of right;
which our hearts support and whose
foundation is that righteous passion
for justice upon which all law, al
structures alike of family, of State
and of mankind must rest, as upor
the ultimate base OF our existence
and our liberty. I cannot imagine
any man with American principle:
at his heart hesitating to defend
these rights"

HUGE OIL TANK AT

the shock at z :35 o clock Satur-

linois Central railroad tracks at
the former place..
The oil Immediately burst In
to flames and but for a strong

mill would have been destroyed.
The force of the explosion tore
up great chunks of frozen earth

No one was injured.
Great clouds of black smoke
blowing over the river gave rise

SMOKING THE MEAT.

The best fuel for smoking meat
is green hickory or maple wood
smothered with sawdust of the
same material. Hardwood OF any
kind is preferable to soft wood.
Resinous woods should never be
used, as they are likely to impart
bad flavors to the product. Corn
CORDS are the best substitute for
hardwood and may be used II
desired. Softwood and corncobs
give off large amounts of carbon
in burning, and this is deposited
on the meat, making it dark IN
color and rank favored.
