BUY IT AT HOME

Here is a little story that has been
going the rounds, and it tells the
story of buying away from home,
from mail order houses, so well that
we think you ought to read it. If you
have read it, perhaps it would be well
to refresh your memory.
The other day in Oklahoma a man
went into hardware store to buy a
saw. He found the kind he wanted
and asked the price. 1t was $1.65,
the dealer said.
Good gracious" replied the shop
per, Il can buy the same saw exact
iy from Sears-Sawbuck, the catalogue
house, for S1.35."
That's less than paid for it." re-
piled the dealer, ''but 1 will meet cata-
logue competition, so I'll make you
that saw for $I.35 also"
''All right" said the customer,
''send it to my house and charge it to
my account"

dealer. mo charge account on this.
The mail order house doesn't trust
you. I am simply meeting their price
and terms. Fork over the cash"
The customer complied.
Now two cents more for postage,
and five cents for the money order, -
said the dealer.
WHAT"
Certainly, you have to send let

The customer, inwardly raving,
handed over the money.

But he paid it, saying, '.Now hand me
that saw and I'll take it home myself
and be rid of this foOlery."
'Hand it to you. Where do you
think you are? You're in Oklahoma
and I'm in Chicago. You'll have tc
wait two weeks for that saw"
Whereupon the dealer hung the
saw on the peg, and put the money in
the cash drawer.

When the World Is Filled.

A member of the Royal Geographic
society in England estimates that the
fertile lands Of the globe amount to
2S,OOO.OOO square miles, the steppes to
100000, and the deserts to 1,OOO,OOO.
Fixing 2O7 persons to the square mile
for fertile lands, ten for steppes and
one for deserts as the greatest popu-
latiOn that the earth could properly
nOurish, he arrives at the conclusion
that when the number Of inhabitants
reaches about 6,OOOOOO,O0O our planet
Will be peopled to its full capacity.
If the rate of increase shown by
recent census statistics should be uni
fOrmly maintained, it is shown that
the globe would be fully peopled
about the year 2O72. But such calcu-
latiOns do not allow for unknown
sources OF error, and therefore cannot
be taken too literally.

ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT

There is one way by which a bust
ness mans credit is improved, and
that is by policy of consistent ad-
vertising. Bank men believe in adj
vertising, for they know it pays Their
feeling, therefore, is that when a
merchant who is a good advertiser ap-
plies for a loan, that a reasonable
amount of goods, bought by him on
credit, is likely to be turned over
quickly and promptly paid for, on ac-
count of his methods of keeping his
goods constantly be5ore the public.
The banker would have confidence
that the goods would be disposed of
and turned into cash before they got
out of date or shopworn.
Discriminating buyers of every
class know they can get fresh goods
from the store that advertises. The
merchant who advertises seldom has
shop-worn goods. And in that way
advertising helps the merchant s
credit not only with the banks but
with his customers. And one is just as
important as the other.-Yuba City

When varicose veins are confined
to a limited area, the exeision of one
large vein may improve the whole
condition, but for person suffering
with a general varicose condition of
the veins of both lower extremities,
operation is not to be chosen unless

bandaging and gentle massage give
best relief.

BOb-White. the Bug Destroyer
Every shot fired this season at the
'bob-whites that are wintering in your
fields is a shot at your pocketbook.
says Farm and Ranch. Quails de-
stroy millions of alternating bugs
that would otherwise awake next
spring to fall hungrily upon the pro-
duct of field and garden.
while you fight the chinch-bug,
redouble your efforts to increase bob
white quails," says A. C. Burin of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
They are said to eat from 500 to
1000 chinches at a meal, and their
stomachs crave another meal every
two hours. At least this is the usual
rate of digestion in most insect-eating
birds. Quails are the only wild birds
which specialize on chinch-bugs in
the winter season"
To protect the bob-white the most
effective plan is for several farmers
comparatively to publish a notice in
the county papers forbdding hunters
to shoot quails on their premises.
This has been done successfully in
several Missouri communities. Many
county papers already are running
such notices properly drawn up by a
lawyer and kept standing in the
paper throughout the hunting season
In such cases the publisher will add
the name Of any farmer in the county
and keep it there for, say so cents
for the season.
Protect the quails; they will fight
your bug battle for you-winter and
summer.
