needs the country ana the country
needs the town. The farmer needs the
assistance of the storekeepers of the
town in securing market for his
products. He needs the assistance of
the storekeepers of the town in getting
good roads over which he may haul his
products without losing more time
than the products are worth. He often
needs the assistance of the storekeep-
ers in helping him over a period of
financial stringency.
Storekeeper Needs Farmers Trade.
On the other hand the storekeeper
needs the business of the farmer. He
does not ask the farmer to sell him his
products on credit even though at the
time he may be hard pushed for cash
and may need more credit badly. He
does not ask the farmer to help him
build sidewalk in front of his store.
He does not ask for the business of
the farmer provided that he can sell
the farmer the goods he needs at as
low price as he can secure them for
elsewhere.
But does he always get the farmers
business? Ask the mail order man
in the big city or ask the postmaster
or the express agent in any town or
city in the country. They could, if
they would, tell of thousands of dollars
sent away to the big cities to pay for
goods that could be purchased just as
cheaply and much more conveniently
in the nearest town or city. These
thousands of dollars, when sent to the
mail order houses in the big cities,
never come back. They do not help
to build good roads past the farmers
houses. When the next crops are har-
vested, the mail order man won't buy
any of the farmers products. The
potatoes, the tomatoes, the melons and
other things that the farmer raises
may lie and rot upon the ground so
far as the mail order man is concerned.
No Credit From Mail Order Man.
The mail order man won't sell the
farmer cents worth of goods on
one days credit no matter how badly

little ready cash he has to pay for
them. If the farmers house burns
down. the mail order man is not go
ing to sell him any lumber on credit
so that he may build another home.
He will take what cash he can get the
farmer to send him and there his in
terest In the farmer ends. If the farm
er has no money to pay for what he
needs, the mail order man will find
others to help swell the stream of dol
lars which is building up his great for
tune and helping build up the great
city in which he lives. Let the home
merchant help the farmer when he
needs it. And the local merchant does
help the farmer as long as he can, but
there comes time when he cannot.
He cannot make money without Gus
toners. Without the legitimate profit
that he makes from his sales he can
not "carrv" the farmer over the rough
spots, he cannot contribute to the good
roads funds, he cannot pay the farmer
cash for lis productsI

II. H. FRUMEss DELIVERS AID
DRESS AT B'NAI BIRTH MEET
ING.

Mr.. II. III. Frumess delivered an dd-
dress at the last B'nai Birth Lodge
meeting, Sunday, March 18th. His
subject was rs Judaism Living or
Decadent." Mr.. Frumess, in beginning
his address, said that an event
had recently occurred, unprecedented
in the annals of Jewish history, tour
of the Flying Squadron. Jews have
never been known to hold revival meet
ings for the purpose of bringing their
brethren back into the fold And while
he did not criticise the movement. he
pointed to it as evidence that there
are many Jews who believe Judaism
to be decadent, and in need of extra
ordinary stimulants to keep it alive,
and so the question arises: rs Juda-
ism Living or Decadent?"
This question:" he said. 'can only
be asked by those, who cannot differ
entiate between substance and form ;
who are accustomed to see Judaism
only in the form. and seeing that this
form, is losing its former aspect, they
arrive at the conclusion that Judaism
is moribund and dying.
TO judge things rightly, one must
follow the teaching of the great rabbi,
who said: Look out at the flask. but
at the contents thereof One must
judge things according to their sub
stance. and consider their forms as
modification, which enter into them
according to time and circumstances.
What is the substance of Juda-
ism?" After quoting authorities. the
speaker reached the conclusion that
Judaism is more than a mere religion.
based ON certain creeds or logmas. and
that it is indissolubly welded with the
Jewish nation and that, viewed his.
torically, Judaism is national. re.
iigious and ethical essence. whose vari.
GUS forms are manifestations. which it
brings forth according to time and
conditions.
The speaker then reviewed the pro-
gress of Judaism since the prehistoric
era, when the Jews were idol Worship
pers. From the beginning and CON
tinuing turnout the biblical epoch,
Judaism strives towards higher ideals.
Slowly and laboriously it climbs,
working its way thru idolatry. poly
theism and monofatry until it reaches
monotheism. the ideal for which it
strives He then traced the ethical
element of Judaism. showing the vari-
Gus crude stages II had passed thru
until it reached the conception of
brotherhood of Man,
Particular stress is laid upon the
national element of Judaism, which
is very strong during the biblical pc
riod. and which grows still stronger
after the destruction of the temple. He
then pointed out that during the Tai
m,ldic period. Judaism changed its
form, the substance. however. remain
ing the same. He traced Judaism thru
the Philosophic period, the Mystic
Cabdlistic, the Hasidic, the Haskalic.
until he reached the present day. Ac-
cording to the speaker, the substance
has almost always remained the same.
altho the form varied in every age.
He came to the conclusion. that dog
