He snuck up behind the 1ivver and

BUYING AT HOME SERVES BEST
INTERESTS OF COMMUNITY
Those who &c Away From Mays'ilie
TO Make Purchases Help Hold
Back City's Progress.

Testimony has been offered to show
that on every dollar sent to mail
order house, seventy cents goes to the
jobber or manufacturer and thirty
cents remains with the mail-order
house, as return on investment, sal
aries, advertising, light, heat, delivery,
supplies, insurance, taxes, general eX-
penses, depreciation and shrinkage,
bad debts and profits.
1t is that thirty cents which should
stay in Maysville. That thirty cents
of every dollar sent to mail-order
houses goes to help build up Chicago,
and so does not and cannot help build
Up Maysville. OF every dollar spent
for the same things in Maysville, with
home merchants, this thirty cents
stays here, to help build up our city.
Therefore, every time a citizen of
Maysville sends his money to a mail
order house, and away from home
merchants, he hurts his own COM
munity.

outside drew their collars and furs
tighter.
"Then-Go,' said old Mr.. North
Wind. And the storm parade began.
In it were the Storm King, King Hail,
old King Snow, Prince Sleet. the King
of the Clouds, his army of Raindrops
the Snowflake children, the Winter
BreeZes and old Mr.. North Wind
marched ahead carrying a big stick
made out of icicles which he threw UP
in the air and looked exactly like n
drum-major.
o. course the people on the earth
could not see him, but they could feel
him. Oh. how cold it was! And what
a terrific storm.
The city people said that they would
not be able to get about and that cars
and traffic Of all sorts would be de-
layed
But the strangest thing of all was
the way the storm acted. 1t began at
one end and went straight through the
city but only a section ut q time. When
it had finished storming in one sec
zion it went on down Il little further
To another, while all the parts around
were fine and clear.
The evening newspapers in the city
said that the storm was ''freakish,"
and one little girl who was riding in
Il mOtorcar with her mother said that
they seemed to keep pace with the
storm straight down through the city.
But they managed to escape the very
end of it which was the worst of all.
Now for 2 good wind-up." said old
King Snow as he blew.
That's a good EXPRESSION" said cid
Mr., North Wind. For even though he
was the drun-major of the storm the
others made suggestions as to how the
storm could be made worse.
And they all ended UP by blowing
showing, sleeting, hailing, raining ana
freezing harder than ever.
oh, it WAS n gorgeous parade" said
old Mr. North Wind. I'VE moved right
along just like regular parade but
we had the streets almost 70 ourselves
which is quite different from z regular
parade. and extremely SUPERIOR"

THE STORM PARADE.

Are You ready" asked old Mr.
North Wind.
We are ready" said all the little
breezes.
How about you, hail drops?"
We're ready" they said.
And Prince Sleet, how about you?"
"All ready Mr.. North Wind"
Then set CO. said the north
wind. And such Il storm as there
was. But it was quite the funniest
kind of storm for it seemed to be
clear in one place and then all of Il
sudden the storm continued.
Wen start" said old Mr.. North
wind, AT one end OF the city. and
We'll give q parade
The others did not know at first
what storm parade meant. hut old
Mr.. North Wind explained
You see" he said. wen start to
blow and roar and storm mt one end
of the city. The other end will be per
fectly free from tire storm, but gradu-
ally, little by little. we Will work our
way right through the city. All. won't

King. "Old North Wind doesn't care
IT We don't ~cep step"
Il should say not laughed the
North Wind. and his laugh was SO cold
that they all wanted to start right
away. They felt like exercising and
blowing and showing.
Prince Sleet was talking with the
King Of the Clouds and the Hail King.
We'll give them 4 good time" they
all said. Yes. Wen come down to-
