Why It Pays to Buy AT HOME
WHY WE SHOULD BUY AT HOME.
By Maizie Mills, 1221 w. 9th Ave-, Pine Bluff, Ark.


 We have been told that there are many things which cannot be re- called, among them, the spent arrow and the spoken word. The dollar that is sent out of the community, might be properly added 10 the list
 A community should be regarded as large family. Anything of real value taken from it, lessens it's strength. If James and, John, two brothers, live next door to each other and each has something the other wants, both are benefited by exchang- ing goods, rather than sending their money out of town for the same pro- ducts. This is but an humble illus tration of what Pine Bluff people are now doing. They are sending their money to Little Rock, St. Louis, Memphis, and other communities, where it helps to keep up the indus tries of these cities, rather than those of Pine Bluff.
 At her boarding house the other day, Mrs. Smith said to the boarder at her right "Mr. Brown, here is that dollar l have owed you for quite a while Mir. Brown. who owed a dol lar to Mr. Jones, passed it on to him and, in turn, the dollar was passed to eight other people. The last one of these, happening to owe Mrs. Smith a dollar on his board, handed it back to Mrs. Smith. This strik- ingly illustrates what can be accom- plished by the dollar that is spent at home. By spending her dollar at home she multiplied it's value several times and still retained the useful ness of the same dollar.
 Had Mrs. Smiths dollar gone to some foreign mail order house, 1t would have been lost to the commu- nity, all the debts it settled here would still be in existence, and there would be ten discon tented people living in the same house.
 Just as far as possible, keep the dollars at home, and our people will be happier and more contented.

Why People Should Trade at Home

The first invention of Money was to effect a means of communication of exchange between peo- nles has corn. has wheat, has bales of goods-money is the interchange of these commodl- ties for can get wheat and goods for hls corn af his convenience through the use of money.
 In a town like Pine Bluff. money should be uspd in this sense a single dollar will purchase hundreds of dollars worth of commodities so long as it remains in your community. The baker, the huteher the carpenter, the grocer, the dry goods man. the clothier and the banker, all interchange their wares through the money that is in your city When i leaves, il is gone forever The baker, the hutcher tbe grocer and all other business and their wives and families. to reap profit from the goods the foreign spent dollar would have fur nishod So the ones Wt0 send their money away. are taking the profits away from themselves.
 Therefore. good people, buy at homo and not only save money, but make 1t. J. F.

Color of Lightning.

The color of lightning is almost en-
tirely due to the nature of the sub
stance in its track that is made In
candescent. The blue, red, purple or
silver tints, which are ordinarily much
more brilliantly marked in tropical
countries than they ever are In this
latitude, are due to the same circum-
stance as that which produces the col
or desisnedly communicated to the
light of different kinds OF fireworks
Each different foreign Ingredient that
floats in the air has its own proper
hue. which 1t can communicate to the
lightning. The vapor OF iron has one
kind of shine and the vapor of sulphur
another
