TO GUARD DEER,

The hunting of deer with dogs
having become known in Nicholas
county, twelve mounted State Police
have been sent to that county TO
protect the deer. 1t is strickly a
violation Of law to hunt deer with
dogs at any season of the year in
this State. This is a good move on
the part of the Game Warden and
the police forces. This game is at
best scarce in West Virginia and
should be protected. It is odd how
so many people will violate the law.

SALUTING THE FLAG

We are patriotic people here in
Julesburg and we love our country
just as heartily as any other citizens
of this nation. But sometimes We are
careless in showing the stars and the
stripes the respect due. We stand on
the sidewalk and watch parade pass
in which the flag is carried, and many
of us forget that there is no prettier
custom, no sincerer tribute, than to
salute or raise our hats for second
as the flag goes by. What the flag
symboizes is worthy Of our honor, and
citizens should be glad to give this
outward and visible sign of their 10y
atty. The salute to the flag in pub
lie is a salute to all the American cit
izen holds dear III our republic; it is a
salute to those millions who in our
wars have died to make our nation
free and united and strong. 1t is a
salute to ourselves as citizens, the
voluntary tribute of free-men to a
country they love and for which they
stand ready and willing to shed their
blood. Let's try to remember next
time to salute the flag as it passes.

that makes large percentage of the

and uneconomical to send these little
packages all over the country. and the
local dealer makes big saving by
combining lot of purchases in ona
shipment and getting his transporta-
tion at bulk rates.
1t takes a complicated and costly
organization to run the great business
Of big mail order house. Many high
salaries have to be paid, costly ac-
counting systems have to be conduct
ed, and the whole thing is run on an
elaborate system that makes the eX-

heavy charge on the consumer who is
persuaded to buy in that way.
When people buy out of their home
town they help build up the big city
where they place their purchases. but
when they buy at home they help to
build up their own city.
One of the principal forces working
to develop a community is the body
of men engaged in retail trade. You
can depend upon them for co-opera-

which our town is interested.
If you want new school buildings
for your children, do you help your
self any by patroniZing stores in some
distant city? Not one solitary red
cent of that money will come back to
your home town to help build up the
town.
On the contrary. if you spend your
money here in Ju!esburg you help to
increase the prosperity of the local
business men. They are thereby able
to pay more taxes, which helps build
up our town. Further these men are
progressive and are keenly desirous of
seeing Julesburg grow. They are just
as anxious to see a new school house
and other public improvements built
as you are, because they will receive
mutual benefit. The moment trade
conditions are such to warrant public
Improvements they will vote and work
for them, and try to persuade parsi
monous taxpayers that it is a good
policy to deal literally in providing
town facilities.
