Mohawk Trail Woodlands
(Greenfeld Recorder. J

1t is good news to all the friends of the
Mohawk Trail that the legislative COM
mittee on conservation has reported ia
vorably on the bill to make the woodlands
which border that roadway a state reser-
vation The bill must now pass the scru-
tiny of the ways and means committee, be-
cause of the $4,000 appropriation which
it carries. 1t viii be mistaken economy if
that body decides that the state cannot
spend the necessary money this year. for
if the present opportunity to take the
Trail woodlands is neglected, it will cost
an immense sum and take a long period
of time to restore what is now threatened
by the lumberman's axe.

Today is the 10th virtually rainless

temperatures have exceeded 100. Some
of the largest lakes in the north of
England have become mere millponds.
The River Shannon, the largest In the
British Isles, can be forded at almost
any point. Fruits and crops are burn
ed and a majority of the streams are
mere rivulets. The rainfall for the
year is less than one-third normal to
date..= :. -, z&: = Z
AS a result Of the drought England
has been forced to turn from food
>rationing to water rationing. The a:
tioning Of water supply has been in
stituted throughout the country. No
merous country districts are importing
water at two cents per bucket E
The situation in North Scotland has
become so serious as to necessitate the
removal of cattle and sheep. Seven
hayricks on the Earl Of Derby's farm
took fire from spontaneous combustion.

The Cl1autaua1ual

Commencing Friday of this week the
Warren ChautauQua will be in session
for five days and the people Of Warren
and vicinity will be given an opporun-
1ty to hear good speakers and also to
enjoy good wholesome amusement and
recreation. The Chautauqua, is in a
way, to the people of: the smaller towns
and cities what the concert hall, the
lecture platform and the theater, are
to the people of the larger cities. On
the ChautauQua platform appear many
people of note, position and influence,
besides the numbers whose duty it is to
purely entertain.
Aside from the amusement and en-
tertainment feature of the Chautauqua
there is the educational value of the
various sessions. The culture of the
larger cities, the voice of the poet and
the song Of the composer, are brought
to the rural community through the
Chautauqua as in no other way. Au-
thOrs, critics, statesmen and philoso-
piers appear on the various Chautau-
qua platforms througout the country
bringing their verses, their criticisms,
their wisdom and their theories to the
folks in the country whose opportuni-
ties; to. sip the Intellectual side Of life
as born and bred in the larger centers,
are, few and far between. ~~i ~
A Chautauqua is purely small city
institution and is not enjoyed by those
Of the larger populated centers unless
sought by them in the smaller cities
and towns. The Chantauqua, primari-
~, was an educational Institution and
the amusement, features merely the &C
compartments that travel with any
such organization that travels and
which must depend, to a large extent,
upon some special feature of amuse-
ment or otherwise to draw the crowds.
The Chautauqua: is STILL, primarily, an
educational, institution. A high; grade
of amusements accompany, the Chau-
tauQua as also "a high grade of speak
ers, SO that when the tents are, opened
to the public on, Friday of this week
the people of Warren and vicinity may
be assured Of something inside to be
worth the price Of admission as well
as something of value to be taken home
from the lips of the speakers: 10" - =,

Buy At Home

Lie apparent unWlll1ngneSS OF the
large mail-order houses. to accept q
loss on the immense stores Of mer.
chandise carried by them has brought
about tremendous decrease in their
sales during the last few months. Re.
ports show monthly losses in sales run.
Ching from $5,O00,O00 to $15,OOO,OOO.
The decreases amount to more than so
per, cent of the usual values of bust
ness. For example: One of the largest
mail order houses had total sales in
February, 1921, of. about $4,000, 900
as compared with $28,O00,O0O in Febru-
airy, 1920. Another. had sales in Feb
ruary, 1921, of approximately $780,
600 as compared with over $1,000, 600
during February, 1920 This condition
is general. 1T appears; that: the mail
order houses are endeavOring to sell
merchandise based upon prices quoted
I'M catalogues printed over a year ago
The prices quoted and being charged
in community retail stores. The time
has come when people should see the
advantages Eof supporting home bust
ness enterprises, not only for the in
terest Of the individual, but for the
goQd5of the community at large, ~.
The welfare of the community is
largely dependent upon the success Of
its merchants and the prosperity of it's
population. {. It is a well known fact
that; mail order houses pay no taxes
except In cities where they have their
headquarterS,io r own property. They
do little or nothing toward assisting
numerous movements promulgated from
time to time for the community better
ment il they build no roads; they CON
tribute nothing to schools libraries
churches or any other activity which
makes our community worth living in.
The volume of business lost by mail
order houses indicates that the conf
dence of the public may be shifting to
the retail merchant where It belongs.
The home retail merchant has, as g.
rule, been fair; has labored faithfully
to serve efficiently; and has worked for
only a fair margin Of profit The public
should show its appreciation Of the fact
that town merchants are supplying
goods at fair and honest prices, while
maid order houses are evidently main
tanning any prices.
The very nature OF the mail order
business makes the present situation
inevitable. Home merchants, by close
contact with the manufactures and
jobber, can give the public a square
deal even on ductuating and declin-
ing market. There should be closer
spirit of cooperation between the home
merchant and the people Of the COM
munity. Never again should the public
or our merchants permit mail order
houses to draw the resources from the
cOmm1lnitV aS IL did in nrnwar dauS#
Money spent with mail order houses is
gone out Of this community. Buy at
home Make your home town one
hundred per cent better home town or
ganizatfon and help to bring greater
prosperity to everybody In your home
town. J.
