ALBUQUERQUE YOUR TOWN.

Would you like to see this a better
town, with more life, enterprise and bus
mess? Would you like to see more work
going on here? And would you like it
better if you could walk into Albuquer-
que stores and find in them bigger and
fresher and more varied stocks of every
thing?
All this could be if the bulk of the
money that now goes to the mail-order
houses stayed in Albuquerque. If you
have any doubt about it, look into it and
see how many dollars leave Albuquerque
in one month for the so-called bargains
that the mail order people picture in
magazines and catalogues. And then
imagine what that much money spent
here at home would add to the towns
business! Of course, nobody can ques-
ton anyone's right to buy where they
please. You don't have to buy in Albu-
querque, but the town is dependent upon
you, just as you are dependent upon the
town. But it does not require much
mental effort to see that it is not for the
best interest of Albuquerque to patron
ize concerns whose only interest in our
town is what they can get out of it.
When the Red Cross or any other pa
triotic or civic organization needs funds,
does any one ever hear of Sawbuck and
company making a contribution? 1t isl
the same with our churches and schools.
Who maintains them? And who is build !!
ing the Albuquerque Hotel? Not the
Philamore Bargain House! When you
have something to sell, do any of these
gentlemen ever buy it of you?
Adherence to the "buy it at home"
doctrine means profit in the long run, not
only to the man you buy from, but to you
as well. 1t will be much better for US
and for the town as whole |
if we stand together and pull together
and we are bound to lose if we do not
Why not get the home town idea into |,
our heads and as long as we live in AL
buquerque let us be of, by and for Albu-
querque!

lEPR0SY TREATMENT
REDUCES DEATH RATE

Toxic. Oct. 22.--The future of
the leper is now bright and the
disease being much less contagious
than is generally supposed, a judi
cious system of segregation, with
the present methods of. treatment
will rid Korea of the menace, acA
cording to Mr.. Mackenzie, head of
the Fusan asylum. The mission to
lepers has three asylums in Korea.
"At one of these, nine patients
have been discharged with no trace
of the disease left" said Mr.. Mack
enzie. Before the special treat
ment was begun in the Fusan asy-
lum. the yearly death rate always
was above rs per cent. For the
last year It stands at az per cent,
but as half the death resulted from
typhoid 1t may be said that the
death rate from normal causes was
but ! u per cent"
The government contemplates
the erection of a large national
asylum outside of Toxic for the
of lepers. of whom
there are about 10000 in Japan.

NO WELCOME SIGN is
FOUND BY CARMIVALS
AT HUTCHINSON, KANS.

Hutchinson, Kans.. Oct. 22.-
Carnivals find no welcome sign
awaiting their arrival at Hutchin-
son---if they arrive there at all.
The last one didn't even stop in the
city.
It came about when a carnival
company showing in Dodge City
applied to Mayor George Gano for
permission to exhibit in Hutchin-
son. The mayor didn't believe
Hutchinson wanted carnival and
refused. The carnival company
announced that they intended to
come regardless of the mayors
opinion.
They'd better not land here"
the mayor replied and added that
he didn't think very much of
these carnivals anyway. for they
didn't add very much to any city,"

CT: RNANS EXPECT
BOOKS WILL. WIN
FRIENDS ABROAD
Home Market Is Absorbing
Only a Very Limited
Number of Volumes on
Account of High Prices

Berlin, Oct. 22 (by the Associa-
ted Press) Books have a mis-
sion, and the German book is 60
ing abroad as sturdy pioneer which
will win us the Iriencs we so bit
terly need today" Such is the
solace native philosophers find in
the statements of leading German
publishers that the bulk of their
present output is going into the
export trade,
Publishers report that the home
market is absorbing only very
limited number of volumes on ac-
count of the pzo1libitIve retail
prices necessitated by reason of
the increased cost of publication.
Expenses for printing in Germany
already are 100 fold more than
they were prior to the war, and II
Is expected that the end of the
year will see this increase more
than doubled.
One victim of the high prices is
long established firm which pub
fishes popular encyclopedia. The
firm announces that after three
years of preparation three volumes
of the new work thus far have
been issued. but that 1t will be
financially impossible for them to
print the other nine volumes be-
longing to the full set. The put
ting on the market of a single VOL
ume amounts to between fifty and
sixty million marks.
The sale of the encyclopedia al
ways has been based on advance
subscriptions and the publishers
have found the present demand so
far below expectations that an i'm
mediate investment of 900, 900, 900
marks would be required if the
complete work was published. This
encyclopedia always has been
widely used in Germany. gracing
the shelves of many humble homes
and even of small restaurants,
where often 1t serves to settle ar
guments waged over beer mugs.
German publishers believe the
rising generation of authors will be
hardest hit by the present day cost
of printing, since 1t requires mill
lion marks to put ten or twelve !
thousand copies of a single novel |
into circulation. Such book |
would sell for 400 or 500 marks on
a bookstand. Many young writer's
are sending their manuscripts to
foreign countries. 1t is known
that one large Dutch publishing
concern receives as many as fifty
such manuscripts daily.
Publications coming from Ger
man book presses at the present
time consist mainly of de luxe
volumes or technical treatisies. A
leading Berlin publisher predicts
hat the output next year will be
30 per cent less than this wear.
