BUY 1T AT HOME

Here is 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 reed 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, 81 can buy the same saw exactly
from Sears-Sawbuck, the catalogue
house, for $1.35."
"That's less than l paid for it," re-
piled the dealer, "but l will meet cat
alogue competition, so I'll make you
that saw for $1.35 also"
"All right" said the customer,
"send it to my house and charge it to
my account"
"Not on your life" replied the deal
er mo charge account on this. The
mail order house doesn't trust you. /

The talk was different from the
.1re-eating political meetings which.
Townley used to. hold. He counselled
against too bitter hatred and declared
the hatred had been the factor which
united elements of opposition to the
league.
Financial Question.
He directly and indirectly referred
to the finances of the league, saying
the league held $500, 900 Of notes of
farmers of North Dakota, said prob

Townley told his audience. He said he
had been accused of selling out to Nc
Cumber, but declared he had propos-
