Our Merchants Sell
Better Goods Than
Ifineranf PeddIers

Women Should be loyal to the home
store and help Snow Hill grow.
Past experience of the buying public
demonstrates that merchandise pur-
chased at home from reliable mer-
chants and manufacturers is more
satisfactory than the supposed bar
gains purchased from the itinerant
merchant that cares nothing for the
welfare of the community, but only
desires to dispose of his often inferior
goods, leaving the community to solve
its own problems of financing self by
taxation, etc. Often these purchases
are made by women unthinkingly from
the itinerant nonresident vendors, not
realizing that their husbands are
striving daily in advocating and adj
vertising to show the public the adj
vantageS of patroni2ing home indus
tries by:
First. Retaining every available
dollar in Snow Hill.
Second by satisfying the customer
by exchange of goods.
Third. BY extending reasonable
amount Of credit
Fourth. BY being a reliable home
merchant and liable for mistakes and
misrepresentation.
A point frequently overlooked by
the buying public is that all citizens
are engaged in some business or other,
including laborers, mechanics, mer-
chants, manufacturers or in the pro-
fessions.
To illustrate, doctors wife being
called upon by an itincrant with a
patent medicine for sale What is the
wife's first thought? Why, that her
husband is physician and their liv-
ing is made by his practice, and that
such impoSters should not be patron
lied. So il is with all other homes in
the city.
Mrs. BIS husband is a grocer A
nonresident vendor selling dry goods.
furs and ladies' ready-to- wear, calls
upon Mrs. Il. and see how quickly she
will buy his wares and pay exorbitant
prices. Had this vendor offered her
her groceries. she would have frankly
informed him that her husband was
in the grocery business.
How often is the husband clamoring
for home patronage in his particular
line of business, while his wife is at
home purchasing from tnerant ven
doris, sending her orders to mail order
houses or assisting the ncighbors in
making up a mail order house club
Some persons say Eve are unable to
buy al home just what we wish"
1t is conceded that may be the case
in some instances. But. did you ever
call the attention of your home mcr-
chant to see whether or not he could
not supply your wants?
All this does not apply alone to the
consuming public, but is also applica-
BILE to merchants that complain of the
numerous abuses of their business.
But one might ask the local mer-
chant chow much are you doing to
make Snow Hill prosper and grow"
You have howled about patronizing
home trade. Are you doing il your
self?
BE careful, now, of what you are
going TO say Several local manufac-
turers and jobbers say they do not
get the support of the home merchant.
Why? Take an inventory of yourself
and see what lines of merchandise
you are handling and see what pro-
portion you can purchase from your
home jobbcrs, manufacturers or labor
erS. Let him who makes the first
complaint OF not patronizing home
industry see that he is doing unto
Others what he would that others
would do unto him.

Are you satisfied with the report?
There we're a number of red marks

cause for investigations Can you
explain why these marks are on the
card in the case of your son. or

getting sleep enough or regularly;
the home study hour has too many
interruptions; too many outside at
fractions on nights preceding school

SiegeI Bill to Increase Roll From
435 to 460 Voted Down A.
ter 9 Hours Debate.
VOTE WAS 146 TO 142
ready Unwie'dy, Opponents De-
clare-Proposal to Decrease
Number is Smothered.

Washington-The House recorded
its opposition to any increase in it's
membership, recommitting to the cen
sus committee by vote of 146 to 142
the Siegel bill to increase it's size
from 435 to 460 members.
The vote was taken on a motion to
recommit offered by Representative
Fairfield of Indiana, a Republican
member of the census committee, after
nine hours of debate and wrangling
over parliamentary procedure.
Decrease Plan "smothered."
Previous to recommitting the bill,
the House rejected 40 to 146, an
amendment by Representative Bar
bour, Republican of California, to au-
thoriz ize reapportionment without any
increase in membership. Another
amendment offered by Representative
Tinkham, Republican of Massachu-
setts, to decrease the membership to
425, was smothered under an ava
lanche of noes" Eleven Southern
states, which Mr. Tinkland charged
had disfranchised colored men, would
have lost 33 seats and Massachusetts
one under his amendment, while a
gain of "a seats would have been split
among dozen states, which made
considerable gains in population in
the last decade.
1t was the second time within a
year that the House has blocked ef-
forts to increase it's size, during the
last session bill to fix the member
ship at 483 being defeated At that
time another bill providing for re-
apportionment under the 1920 census
without increasiHszz ztasessssanu lumber OF
members was passed by the House,
but no action was taken on it by the
Senate.
Party Lines Disregarded.
Opponents of the bill contended that
the House already is an unwieldly
body and that it would function less
efficiently with an increased member
ship. Chairman Siegel and .Represen.
tative Larsen Of Georgia, Democrat
member of the committee, pleaded for
the measure, while Representatives
Fairfield and Rankin, Democrat Of
Mississippi directed the attack
against it. Party lines were disre-
garded in the final vote

Mondel1, the Republican leader, that
although he had opposed an increase

session, he favored the Siegel bill

=, AN ANNOUNCEMENT

We wish to inform our friends and
patrons that we have disposed Of our
interest in the Cook County State
Bank, for the purpose Of bringing
about consolidation of the two
local banks, as we firmly believe
that Cook county will be better
served having one banking ~ihstitu-
tion, as Grand Marais is not large
enough to support the two. And in
order to bring this about we have
sacrificed any personal feelings or
financial interest that we may have
had, in order to benefit the general
public, and we wish to ask our good
friends that have stood by us for
the past five and a half years to give
the new banking institution the fair
and loyal support heretofore given
us, and in this connection we wish
to extend our thanks to our many
friends for favors extended us, and
assure them that they will be cher
ished as pleasant memories.
At this time we can not say just
what business we will enter into,
but we will make Grand Marais our
home in the future and will do our
utmost to promote the welfare Of
Cook county and the new combined
banking Institutions.
Yours very truly,
