BUY 1T RIGHT HERE

We want to urge the people of Mani
towoc, for their own good, and the
good Of the town at large, to make
every purchase that it is possible for
them to make right here at home. We
know there are some merchants in
ManitoWoc who can't see their way to
support their home newspaper And
Wen have to admit that they are large
ly to blame for the mail houses getting
business out of this town But whether
or not they advertise with us will not
keep us IRON doing our duty and try
ing in every way We can to build up
the town in which we live and OF
which we are justly proud
We believe the stores here offer just
as great bargains as stores in Chicago.
If the stores of Chicago send out a
grocery or a clothing or a furniture
catalogue once each month and solicit
business the merchants here must real
ize that they have got to meet that
competition by telling their people
what they can get here at home.
Don't buy anything by mail that you
can get here by going to the store.
When you need credit, or when sick
ness IN the family makes it necessary
ior you to ask favors, the Chicago mail
order house wont even spend a three
cent stamp in answering your appeal,
Hhe home merchants will tide you
over a spell OF misfortune or bad luck,
and for that reason they deserve your
business when you are able to pay
cash. Remember this, and remember,
90, that not a dollar that goes to
build up this town, to keep its steets
in shape or to light it at night comes
from the Chicago mail order houses.
Bear in mind that the further from
nome you send your dollar the longer
il takes it to set back

MODERNITY ON THE FARM

To a certain extent the cities are
absolyed from blame for Turing the
boy from the farm and the more or
less stable existence of the tiller of
the soil to the uncertain lot of the
city laborer or clerk. According to
arguments advanced by those who
have made study of the small town
and country development, the blame
for the desertion of the land by tie
young must rest largely with the par
ents--with the farmers themselves.
The average farmer has until re-
Gently been interested in his crops,
cattle, and bank account more than
ne was in the comfort of his wife and
children. With the city man it has
Oeen the reverse. The wife of the
city mechanic, whose income was far
smaller and UNNECESSARILY less secure
lhan the income OF the farmer has for
years been having hot and cold water
IN her kitchen, bath tub in the house,
ana gas and electricity with which to
COOK, wash and iron. Her household
work has been cut to a minimum. The
wife of the farmer, in most cases is
still drudging away unnecessarily. Be
cause of this drudgery, and the want
Of comfortable and consequently in
leresting, attractive home, the migra-
Con to the city has been unprecedent-
cd in recent years.

Proper Breathing, Help to Swimmers.

to breathe SO that you blow out your

before you sink, it Is evident that you
will not sink ut all When breathing
while swimming do not take too many
breaths, but let your mouth serve as
the intake. 1t can do il quicker than

senting the administration of the

protesting letter from Secretary Lam

weeks. Warning was given by back
ers of the bill that unless treaties now
pending are finished by then they will
press the bill.
Flood replided that he will not then
oppose the measure if Secretary Lam
sing has been unable to complete pend
ing arrangements. Negotiations are
on, he said, with Canada, Great Bri-
tain, France and Italy. Smaller
countries will come later.
This is the third time the House
has deferred action at Secretary Lam
sings request. Flood gave repeated
assurance that no practical harm
would result. The House manifested
its determination that arrangements
must be completed at nee either by

DESIRES TO AID IN ROAD
Fulton Sun Feels People Of Galloway
County and That City VIII Help
the Hannibal Road

Interest in the Ozark Trails road
from Springfield, Mo-, to Hannibal,
which passes through jefferson City,
Fulton and Mexico, is receiving some
attention at this time with a view to
active work in the spring. The sec
ton of the road from this city to the
Galloway county line will be perma-
nently improved this spring, provided
the material can be secured. All
funds necessary for the work have
been raised.
The Fulton Sun published the fol-
lowing which was contained in an ar
ticle concerning the conservation be-
tween the President of the Jefferson
City Commercial Club and Fred Will
liams, President of the Fulton Com
mercial Club, recently:
"The President of the Jefferson
City Commercial Club said they were
especially interested in getting the
assistance of Fulton in putting thru
the proposed highway from jefferson
City to Hannibal and that they had or
ganized a highway commission to
work for the building of six roads out
of the capital, one Of them being the
Hannibal road.
eve have no doubt the people of
Fulton and of the county will also be
ready to assist in getting the Hannibal
road. We want it, for it would result
in giving us a rock road from the south
to the north part of the county as well
as from the east to the west. With
these two main lines built, it would
not be long until feeders would reach
out from various parts of the county
to them and SOC we would have good
roads all over the county"
