conference.

WHY TRADE AT HOME

Many people-'asS that question but
very few troble to seek the answer.
Why should pepple patronize
their home merchants?
Because it is a great saving Of
time, and time today represents
money
Because the home merchant can
only remain in business through the
patronage Of home people and a
town without merchants would be
a sorry place in which to live.
Because the home merchants sell
goods that do not have to be return
ed because Of defects or inferiority
Of quality. It is the only way in
which a local man can hold his trade.
Because the local merchant is not
in the habit Of charging excessive
pnces. You may at times be able
to get the same article elsewhere
for little less money, but the quail
ity will Invariably be reduced in pro-
portion to the price. The local mer-
chants cannot afford to sell Cheap"
stuff. His customers would not toll
crate il. @,,-V
Because the prosperity Of a com
munity depends upon the amount of
money in circulation in the communi-
ty and that is regarded mainly by
the marketing Of surplus products
abroad and the keeping of as much
as possible Of the receipts at home.
Because a community that spends
most Of its money abroad for sup
plies soon finds that it has but lit
tie left for the purchase of addition
al supplies.
1t IS so simple child could under
stand it, and what a child can com
prehend should not be unheeded by
adults.
Think it over.
Thinking may accomplish much
good It certainly will do no harm.

APROPOS LYNCHING

Before US is . Communication from

law violations, especially in our own
city and county, it is we'll to stop a
few moments to consider ways and
means Of bringing about better
order in conditions lest our City on

In the record of thirty-four lynch
ings throughout the country in the
information compiled by the Depart

Tuskegee Institute there are twenty
four more lynchings than for the
first six months Of 1920, but it is
