called upon to pay largely increased
passenger and freight rates. The
people have accepted this new bur-

least that every employe can do in
return is to serve the public courte-

The peach tree Is a native Of Persia
and China. II was brought to Italy
by the Romans In the time OF the
Emperor Claudlus, was cultivated In
Europe as early as 1850 and brought
to America about 1850. Its name Is
derived from Perslco. It's native coun-

distrust, as according to Pllny they
supposed the king OF Persia had sent II
into Egypt TO poison the inhabitants
with whom he was at war. The Chi

or reason. Merchants generally Duy
their goods where they can get them
the cheapest. whether in Chicago. New
York or Asia. no matter how much OF
the same goods the farmer has TO sell.
The price Is the FIRST and last consider
alton. They FIX the price OF what he
sells as well as what he buys. Can
the farmer be blamed for buying
where he can get the best bargains ?
He wants TO enjoy the same privilege
ms the merchants do. Fair play "a all
he wants"
A Business Injustice.
But did the farmer who made the
above remarks take everything into
consideration Did he remember that
while the local business men are main

ing In making roads TO these markets
and doing all they can to help the farm
er. the llail order houses that have not

buy dollars worth OF the farmers

that 1t Is an injustice. II Is, and the
only way 10 overcome II is by ADvER-
TISlNG.
Visit TO Country Town.
Merchants should publish a com
.,-tar % NHaNr VhAa. Of
the retail catalogue houses--tight them
with their own weapons While visit
ing n country town recently the writer
made some Investigations and discov-
cries. For example. Chicago mail
order house was selling 100 pound
grindstones mounted for $3.l0. The
local merchant sold the same article
for S325; freight from Chicago. %

cost $3.65: seam roofing. S2.S5 in Chi

against $3.T5. freight - cents TO be
added 10 the $685.. These are facts
which every merchant can prove and
keep right on proving all the time.
Cash at Home Too.
Local merchants will quote prices on
goods 50 low that cataluuge and mail
order houses cannot duplicate them.
But you must pay cash. Mail order
houses demand the cash In advance.
Why not pay the local merchant In adj
vance? Besides. when you buy from
