chants offer many advantages with
which the mail order houses cannot
compete. Prices are frequently cheap

lay in shipment and no freight to

II is an error and a mistake Of
Judgment for any person to order

could be purchased in the home

to prosper the small towns must
prosper. There must be a market for

They do not buy the farmers pro
duce.
They do not buy the farmers stock

They do rot help to educate the

They do not pay any taxes in Your
community.
They do not: help support YOUR

They do not help build your roads

They do not show YOU goods be

They do not in return for the farm

buys their clothing. household goods,
farm implements. etc.-buy the farm

They do not buy your grain, but
ter and stock from pictures and pay
in advance the same as you do.
They do not spend a dollar Of their
money with the farmer or consumer.
They do not furnish employment to
a single resident of your community.
They do not extend to you credit,
as does the local merchant when you
are hard up.
They do not s%ympathize with you
at a time when you have sickness
in your family.
They do not sympathize with you
when your wife and children are

CONTROL OF PRICES.

The enormously high price OF food
is causing floods If letters to be
written to congressman and senators
urging them to pass a law authorlz-
ing the government to fix the price
of food, such as potatoes, flour,
meats, and so forth, as these articles
are largely in the hands of specula-
tors, who are fleeing the public to
the full extent of their ability. The
American consumer is paying twice
as much as the people in England,
France and Germany are paying for
their food, which is regulated by
those governments, and, it is now nee
essary for this government to pro-
tect its people from the rapacity of
the spectators by fixing prices.

Deacon Bill of the News says we

Upon their backs to bite them;
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
And so on-ad infinitum."

THE OCTOPUS.

The mail order houses have begun
their spring offensive. They have or
ganized for a concerted effort to "get

been well planned and their cata-
logues r now flooding the country.
One Chicago mail order house has
reported a business of almost $780,
OOO,OO for 1916, an increase of more
than $34, Zoo, 600 over the previous
year. And this is but one of the sew
eral large concerns that are in the
mail order business. This money,
practically every cent of it should
have been spent in the home towns

The above it would seem, shows a
good and sufficient number of rea-
sons why this mail order octopus
should be left severely alone by the
farmer and the residents Of small
towns and cities who have thought
lessly lent it their patronage.
