Buying At HOME
MEANS ECONOMY
(By E. M. Trowern.)

If city or town is good enough to
live ii, and good enough to take a
salary from, it should be good enough
to buy in. If the teachers, the preach
ers, the professors, the fremen, the
policemen and the civic servants want
increased salaries the most direct
route to bring about that desired end
IS to keep the money circulating in
the Home Town If all the money of
the country ever got into the hands
of few men, business in general
would stagnate. The proper and
healthy condition is to have money
circulated SO that everyone will, thru
his or her industry, get some of it.
The first expectation of a producer
is to be able to sell his crop after it
has been grown. Too sell it he must
have customers, with money, who are
iable to buy it. The further the pro-
,ducer is from the consumer the more
the transportation costs. Farms near
thriving towns and cities are more
valuable than those which are isolat-
ed in the backgrounds. The best way
to make backwoods farms valuable
is to buy in the cities and towns near
them.
Prosperous cities and towns are
built up through proper cooperation
between retail merchants and their
customers. They must work togeth-
er. The customer requires the retail
merchant and the retail merchant re-
quires the customer. If customers
send all their money away to the \
mail order houses for staple goods
and expect the corner store to live on
the sale of lamp chimneys, eggs and
coal oil they will awaken some day
to find the little corner store closed.
Goods when you want them and
where you want them are worth more
than goods thousands of miles away,
Ten cents worth of toothache gum
IN the Corner Drug Store in the Home
Town is worth more to a suffering
child than ten tons of the same article
in Hong Kong, China.
. Retail merchants endeavor to locate
In places where they are required.
They have q double mission to per-
form; they buy goods to suit their
customers and they expect to make a
living by selling and caring for them.
The better service a retail merchant
gives his customers the better bust
mess he should receive in return. The
service should be mutual and the Gus
toner should be equally anxious to
see that the retail stores in his town
or city succeed.
The statement that by buying thru
mail order houses you are saving the
middleman's profit on all you buy is
only glaring deception, to say no.
thing whatever of the question of
lack Of loyalty to your Home Town.
Let US follow the process and see if
less labor is required. A person liv-
ing in town and whose position de-
pends upon che prosperity of the town

DEMOCRATIC
PARTY At
TACKS REPUB-
LICAN METHODS

The Democratic party is making
good its recent threat to launch a par
tisan attack on the Administration.
This is evidenced in the picayunish
attack made by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee upon President
Harding's effort to keep physically fit
for the tremendous responsibilities Of
his office by getting physical recrea
ton outside of Office hours between
Saturday noon and Monday morning.
It is also evidenced in the hullabal-
loo the Democrats are raising over
the Republican tax bill, as passed by
the House. AS indicated in our news
service, while the Democrats are crit
icizing the Republicans for the tax
bill, they are opposing every move
ment made by the Administration in
the direction of economy.
1t should be constantly kept in
mind that by far the greater portion
of any tax bill which will be framed
during the next few years will be US
ed to pay off debts incurred by the
Wilson administration. Although we
had less men modified than either of
them, and had to make no foreign
loans or buy any raw material from
foreign nations, our per day cost of
winning the war under Democratic
management was four times that of
Great Britain, six times that of
France and ten times that of Italy.
1t is these debts which the present
administration, and the administra-
tions for years to come, must pay.
The least the Democratic party and
its leaders could do would be to as
sist in raising these taxes as patri-
otically as the Republicans assisted
IN winning the war. Instead of that
they are opposing the Republican eff
forts to find money to pay off the
debts OF the Wilson administration.
Probably the Democratic party is
driven to this extreme by reason Of
its failure to "put on" a calamity
campaign. A few weeks ago the
Democratic press and politicians were
crying hard times and unemployment,
predicting ''soup kitchens" and "bread
riots" and claiming the Republican
administration and its uolicies were
bringing ruin to business and idleness
ITO workingmen. The record of the
business and industrial world during
the past two months has deprived the
Democratic party of what it had hop
ed would be winning issue. Being
denied the somewhat peculiar delight
of making merry over business and
industrial depression, it now hopes to
find an issue in the efforts of the Re-
publican administration to devise
sane program of raising money to
meet the obligations incurred by the
frenzied financing of the Wilson re-
gime.

many LIVES
PERILED IN
AUTO CRASH

Stevens Point-The lives of several
persons were imperiled when a large
touring car, standing in the road east
of this city, was struck head on by
another car about midnight. Three
persons were injured while others
suffered minor bruises.
The standing car belonged to a Chi
cago man and was being driven to
Stevens Point by a brother-in-law.
Bruno Bidermin, also of Chicago.
Two women and two girls who were
on their way to- this city to take
train for Superior were with him. A
tire was being repaired when the 9TH
er car, driven by Frank Blaskey, pro-
prietor of saloon here, struck the
Chicago auto.
Frank Warzynski, Chicago, who
was fixing the tire, was thrown on to
the gravel road. Twenty stitches
were necessary to close the deepest
wounds. Sylvia Stroik, s, Superior,
was cut in the face by flying glass,
when the rear windshield of the car
was broken. She was sitting inside
the car. A passing motorist picked
up six of the party and brought them
to the hospital here.

0AT FEED HAS
Low VALUE

Madison, Wis.-The feed and fer
tilizer division of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture sends out a
warning to the farmers against GER
tain stock food now being sold. A
large quantity ofsoat feed or oat mill
by-products has recently appeared on
the Wisconsin feed market. It is
bought at price which is attractive
to consumers unacquainted with its
value. Accordingly the Department
is advising buyers that the product
has low feed value and that it cannot
be used as a substitute for grain as
claimed by some sellers. The feed is
largely oat hulls and it is only legiti-
mate of course as lightener for
heavy feeds.

THE MAIL ORDER
MOTH AND FLAME
The home BUYER-who is he?

The home BUYER-who is he?
He is the man to whom "home'
MEANS something.
He is the established, respected
citizen.
He is the man who lives a settled
comfortable life in his cozy home or
| fiat.
| The home buyer is one of the hon
ored, substantial citizens of our com
munity.
He brings up his children here, and
builds up his business here.
The fy-by-night citizen, the unset
tied, discontented individual is likely
to be the out-of-town buyer
He purchases elsewhere because
his home town means nothing to him.
He is drifter through life, a moth
attracted by far-away flame.
He has no prosperity of his own be-
cause he has not joined forces with
prosperity. He has not attached him
self to any of the things that bring
wealth and contentment. He has not
attempted to identify himself closely
with his town, to build up his credit,
to own proverty, to establish a grow
ing business security
He seeks to save a few pennies un-
der the lure of out-of- town advertis-
1,1oe nYo1yy +o L
singed in the blaze that tempted him.
He misses completely the point of
true thrift, of real economy-that is,
purchase goods only in person, after
first-hand examination.
The HOME BUYER on the other
hand is the man who knows what he
wants-and gets it. r
He is the man who doesn't wait
for unreliable mail deliveries.
He gets what he wants when he
wants it.
The home buyer is known and liked
by the city's merchants. They put
themselves out to serve him. They
deliver goods for him in an emergen-
cy, at odd hours, with special prompt
ness. He benefits by corrections and
alterations, by special prices and bar
gains of all kinds.
The home buyer is the thrifty man,
the successful man, the man who
stands by his home town, grows with
his home town, thrives as his home
town prospers.
Which are you? The mail order
moth, the out-of-town shopper, or the
substantial, successful, satisfied
HOME BUYER?

DIR. FREDERICK C. LUNDY

Dr. Frederick G. Lundy of Marsh
field, Wis, is one of the best loved
chiropractors in Wisconsin, because
20 him they owe their present secur-
;ty.
DR.. Lundy, they say, stood as a
oulwark between them and the med
;cs in Wisconsin in the attempt of
he latter to place the chiropractors
IF that state under the control of the
medical board by granting them a
medical license. The older legislators
IN the Wisconsin legislature say that
he medical and chiropractic bills in
reduced at the session just passed
we're the most bitterly fought bills
n the history of that body.
The medics, accused by the chiro-
oractors of using every trick known
20 lobbyists, finally secured the pas
sage of their law by vote of 49 to
10. DIR. Lundy, repres anting the Chi
ropractors, secured reconsideration
Of the bill and the bill was killed by
exactly the same vote, freeing the
chiropractors from the control of the
medical board and allowing them to
practice by the direct consent of the
as heretofore.
DR.. Lundy is one of the big au-
thorities on chiropractjc legislation,
and to him goes the major credit for
Wisconsin's security. He is chair
man of the legislative committee and
secretary of the Wisconsin Chiro-
practic Association.

but never has it been our pleasure to

head, white body with streaks of red

IN his back, of reddish brown, the
white predominating.
