Go To Work.

Many people are of the
opinion that now that the new
administration is in office and
its views are fairly well
known. there should be no
further delay in the revival OF
business throughout the coun-
try.
Every change of administra-
ton brings its period of doubt
and uncertainty. The money
ed interests do not know Just
how far il is safe 10 go. hence
they set the brakes and mark
time by a temporary curtail-
ment of expenditures. This
produces natural slump in
business that is designated by
some as hard times.
Mr.. Harding has indicated
that he desires a conservative
but. progressive administra'
ton. free from entangline
foreign alliances. and with the
protection that should be af'

prejudice. II makes for tolerance
cures home sickness; and gives one
a broader outlook on life.
The students who stay at home
all the time read the same books,
study the same lessons. see the same
faces. think the same thoughts. sing
the same songs. play the same games
and walk In the same paths that
other generations have trodden All
this makes for narrowness and in

Some OF the practice of our

Some of the practice of our
forefathers were commend
able and are worthy Of emula-
ton in chis present age of pro-
gress. Others, however, have
been shown to be back num-
bers. They have been sup
planted by modern customs
which had to be put into use
if the world should go for
ward. 1t is not our purpose
to point out any of those in the
first class, but there is one in
the second class to which we
wish 10 call attention.
For many years the people
of Garrard county as well as
all the other counties of Ken
lucky and all the counties in
all of the states of the Union
had an idea that they could
get bargains from the mail
order houses and save money
by sending their hard earned
coin TO the big concerns in
Chicago apd other far away
cities which would never re-
turn TO the senders or their
neighbors. II may have been
true when the mail order
houses first grew into promin-
ence that they gave real bar
gains. Ii this was ever true
Il was in the times Of our
grandparents before these
houses began TO hog the
deal" They built up such an
enormous business that they
did like many other large con-
Germs and began TO be less
particular about the quality OF
their goods, believing that
once the business had been
built up ii would carry itself
regardless Of quality and feed
on the suckers that are born
every minute.
Today il is our belief that a

One of the worst evils which
this country is afflicted is the
constant and fragrant abuse
of board Of trade privileges
by certain piratical specula-
tors who are enriching them
selves at the expense Of the
producing and consuming pub
lie.
Boards of trade may be a
modern necessity. but nullify-
ing the law of supply and de-
mand is not necessary and
should be prohibited by the
iron hand of the government.
a combination of plutocra-
tic spectators can hammer
down or boost TO the skies the
price of wheat, corn or any
other commodity at will. They
clean up millions on their
deals. but these profits are not
shared in by either the pro-
Queer or the consumer.
II is purely a Juggling of
the markets by individuals
who have the power to do SO,
and solely for their own per-
sonal gain.
If we have no law elastic
enough to strangle these
leeches one should be enacted
and rigidly enforced.
If the law supply and de-
mand is allowed to determine
the value of stocks and COM
modities there can be no valid
objection TO the price they
bring. and they will always
command what they are
worth.
Any price beyond this is
robbery of the many for the
benefit of a few. And rob-
berry is robbery. no matter in
what guise we find it.
No congress as yet has had
the courage TO meet this SUI
preme issue.
Will the new one go into
history as greater than its pre-
decessors. or will il content
itself with sidestepping the
golden opportunity of the
century?

order houses and the home
merchants will show that our
merchants here can give the
public Just as good merchan-
disc as the big houses many
miles away. Not only is this
true but the charge of trans
portation is saved TO the custo-
mer because il is he that pays
for this charge when he buys
from the mail order house.
The retail merchants of Lam
caster have to have their goods
brought here. but they are
brought in large quantities.
which makes a big difference.
Here are some Of the reas-
ons why you should patronize
the home merchant rather
than the mail order house:
When you buy from
mail houses, you buy
sight unseen" which,
under most circumstance
is bad business.
If goods are not salts
factory, il costs more in
time and more in money
to make the exchange.
If your house burns.
do you go to the mail
order housees for contri-
buttons to rebuild? No,
you call on the home mer-
chant and he invariably
responds literally.
Your home merchant
pays more than you make
by patronizing the mail
order houses in taxes TO
help educate your chill
dren.
Mail order houses do
not build and maintain
good roads. build church
es and school houses. and
other necessary improve
ments for your commun-
ity.
Mail order houses do
not furnish a market for
your butter, eggs and
potatoes.
Suppose that everyone
should patroniZe the mail
order houses for all their
supplies; the local mer-
chants would have 10 go
out of business. You
would have no market
for anything produced on
the farm and all the adj
vantages and convent
ences of a local market
would be destroyed.
There is an ethical side
TO the matter; how do
you feel when you have
spent your MONEY with
the mail order houses and
then come 20 your home
merchant and ask him for
credit?
Prosperous people pa
tronize home industry.
Give your home mer-
chant the benefit of your
CASH and he can, and
will. sel.yo goods for a
less profit.
