re.opened on the End inst, and st.

a fitting opening for our Catholic

last Tuesday, TO call down the
blessings of the Holly Ghost upon
the children. The pupils of the
two schools, with their teachers,
attended in a body. The mass
was offered by Father Vigliero,
our new vicar. at the beginning
OF the mass, st. Peters College
choir song the beautiful hymn,
"Come Holy Ghost" and their

Home Town Spirit.

TRADE goes by favor is
an old saying. If man
makes no effort to throw
business advantages in the
way of his neighbors, he can
not expect that they will
show much interest in his
prosperity. Yet a great many
people who are dependent on
the industries Of this town
for their success, will buy in
some other city, merely be-
cause they think they are 60
ing to save q margin OF a few
cents. The chances are that
if they give their alleged bar
gains the same careful exami.
nation they would apply to
them in a home store they
would never pay down good
money for them. But that
is another story.
When you buy goods away
from home, you cut your
selves loose from the bust
ness interests of the home
town. You declare that you
have nothing to gain by the
friendship Of your neighbors
or the prosperity of your
community. On the purely
sentimental side, one has lit
tie admiration for this lack
of town spirit. There is an
element Of disloyalty in re-
fusing to help build up the
community that provides you
your home and the comforts
and convenience of civiliza
ton.
But, laying aside all ques-
tons of sentiment, why not
consider the advantages of
making business friends at
home? Every time you buy
goods in a home store, you
create a personal relation
that may be very profitable.
This is particularly the case
where you have anything to
sell at home. The man who
gets your patronage becomes
personally interested in you.
If you are in business here,
the spirit of reciprocity
him to patronize
your establishment. Even if
you work for salary or wages
the relations you create in
he home stores, by patroniz-
ing the home dealer, may be
exceedingly valuable in some
future exigency. The man
to whom you have given your
trade becomes your friend,
and if he can find some way
to throw favors in your direc
ion, he will be glad to do it.
