WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Is, 1928.
SUPPOSE ALL STORES QUIT BUSINESS.
. HATS impossible, you say!

IT. HATS impossible, you say!
Of course; but just suppose they did
close their doors and you were compelled
to do your shopping elsewhere. What would be
the effect on you and on the community?
The thousands of dollars of taxes, real and
personal that are now paid by these stores would
be added to the burden that all are carrying.
Just try to figure out the effect of this in your
own
1t would throw out of work every person
who is now engaged in selling and distributing
merchandise in our community. They would
have to leave town enter into life-and-death
competition with you and US. Just imagine the
scramble this would cause
1t would compel every person living here to
go to some other town to buy the things that are
needed to sustain life. Whether it be spool of
thread, sack of flour, new dress, or an auto
mobile, you would have to make trip elsewhere
to buy it, adding the travelling cost to the cost of
the article you had to buy. You wouldn't like
this very well, would you?
The fact that you are compelled to buy in
some other town would stiffen prices in that
place You would have to pay more than you
pay now, for it has been proven that the harder
it is to get your merchandise the higher the
prices will be.
While the conditions named herein are i'm
possible, just ask yourself what you are doing
to help keep it so. Are you one of those who
are helping to keep the merchants here, or are
you ignoring the local merchants and doing your
buying in some other town?
Merchants can only remain in business
through the patronage of the people of the COM
munity in which they do business. They are
performing a valuable service to the commun-
ity-in fact they are the nucleus around which
the community is built-and as they prosper the
community will prosper A prosperous commun-
ity will draw trade from distant points and a
portion of this money goes for paying taxes, for
payroll and the upkeep of our community.
When all things are taken into consideration,
it is much cheaper to do your trading in your
home town. If you trade away from home you
are making it hard for the community to be pros
porous; If many people did this some of our
stores would have to close their doors; and if
most of us traded away from home most of the
stores would have to close up. Then what have
you really saved by adopting short-sighted pol
icy! Be fair to yourself-and be fair to your
merchants. Favor local merchants with your
trade and you will find the profits come back
to you in better service, lower prices, a more
prosperous community and greater pride in your
nome town." Buy 1t At Home!-Fergus Falls

The summary of the decrease in post office
receipts for 1927, published in the January 18th
issue of the Gazette, reminds us that during the
past two years Redwood Falls has lost at least
two businesses which brought considerable in
come to the city and county. 1t is time the city
set about replacing those industries with others,
in order that Redwood Falls may not lose its
prestige of being one of the finest little cities
in the state" Postmaster Wards report should
make every person having financial interests
here rather thoughtful-and constructively 50.
Postal receipts are not the only thing that have
decreased. Taxes too, have felt the absence of
these businesses, and the removal Of several en-
ployees and their families has been another re-
grettable result. The situation Is here to be
faeed-and faced by an united citizemy deter
mined to better It.

'|NSUt|N MAKING
 FAR IN FUTURE
Synthetic Preparations May Be
 100 Years Away

Ithaca, \. T., April e.--(P)- synthetic production Of Nitamins, of the active substances of the pituitary gland and the powerful constituents of liver extract. together with the development of unlimited supplies of lnSuln, arc some of the import ant problems yet to be solved by the biochcmist, says George Rarger. noted chemist of the University of Edinburgh.
 Dr. Barger, who holds the George r. Baker non- resident lcctureship in chemistry at Cornell university this semester, is known particularly for his work in the field Of the hor- mones, those powerful drugs. such aS ;ldrcnalin. insulin and thyroxin, which the body makes itself and uses as chemical messengers to excite various organs to activity.
 In collaboration with his pupil, Dr. C. E. Harrington of London, the Edinburgh chemist has developed synthetic thyroxin, which occurs naturally in tho thyroid gland. Adrenalin is also made artificially. but science has found no way of making insulin.
 synthetic insulin. if produced st 3 low cost, would be an inestinla- ble boon to sufferers from diabetes" says Dr. Barser, but it's artificial preparation represents a most com- plicated problem and it may well be a hundred year quest"
 Although yitamins are available in foods, these mysterious life giving constituents have yet to be reproduc- ed chemically in a pure state, Dr. Barger points Gut. The pituitary gland extract, now obtained from cattle. could give much greater service to humanity if it could be synthetically made. he asserts.
 Extract of liver, which contains a very active substance--rrobab bly 6 hormone--has been used effectively iu the treatment of pernicious anaemia, and its availability in un- limited supply would likewise be welcomed by the medical profession.
 The synthetic thyroxin produced by Dr. Harrington and Dr. Barger has its starting point in coal tar and iodine. The substance which they de- rived from these commonplace pro- ducts is said to be fully as effective on the human body as the thyroxin obtained from the glands of sheep. \ half ounce of thyroxin will keep normal for 75 years a man who has no thyroid gland, but because of its scarcity the drug has been ss precious as diamonds
 Dr. Barger believes that America has achieved a position of leader ship in biochemistry during the last D years.
