COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Capita! of the Oail C .dsr ' : *3 Ffe&sa jj It* Cuatewici s. • ,-i * ' XT* WORKS B m mV£T’ Buyers Supp'y Money to Support Enterprises Competing With Those in Which They Arc interested. . (Copyright.) It is amighty nice thing to be able to do business on the other felloe's money, but there are few people who can do it. Probably the only business men who, as a class, are able to do this, are the mall order men In the big cities. Did you ever stop to think —you, who diave ordered goods from a mail order irouse and there are probably few who have not done that at some time or other—that you are supplying the cash upon which the mail order man Is doing business? You are well aware of the fact that your cash must go with your order if you expect to receive the goods, hut have you ever stopped to think what that means? Do you realize that you are supplying the capital for a business which is running in direct competition with your home merchants, upon whose prosperity you and your fellow townsmen are dependent for a, livelihood? The majority of mall order houses do not carry large stocks of goods. They do not have to. When the mail order man gets your order, accompanied by the cash, of course, he can take a part of y6ur money and go to the manufacturer or the wholesaler and buy the article that Is wanted. The rest of the money he can put down In his pocket after paying his operating costs, which are light when compared with those of the merchant who must carry a large stock of goods to meet the demands made upon him. In Class by Themselves. There Is absolutely no other class of men who do business on the capital furnished' by their customers.- Even the retail store which sells for cash only cannot do this for he must carry a large stock and In most cases must pay cash for It in order to get prices that will enable him to make lower prices to his customers than can be made by the merchant who gives credit to his customers.

The mail order man doesn’t need to have any of his own capital invested In his business —or any large amount of it, at least, in proportion to the volume of the business which he does. He does not haye to pay interest to the banks on money borrowed to help him finance his business. The mall order man figures that about one-half of the amount he receives on any order goes to the wholesaler or manufacturer in payment for the goods ordered. Of the remainder a part goes for postage, printing, maintenance of office and plant, insurance, etc. What is left, which is by no means an insignificant part of every dollar received, goes into dividends to stockholders in the mail order corporation. All this has been done without any capital other than that which may be required to pay office expenses. Suppose, for a minute, *that you did business with the local merchants on the same plan. Suppose that they did not carry any goods in stock, that when you wanted to buy something you shou’d go to one of your home merchants, look in his catalogue and pick out an article that seemed to be similar to the one that you wanted, hand over the price as shown by the catalogue and tell him to order' it for you. The merchant would take your money and you would wait for your goods until they arrived from a distant city.

Not So Anxious. But the people who make up any community are not nearly as anxious to furnish capital tp the home merchant—the man who helps “make” the town —as they are to the mall order man In the far distant city, who does nothing and cares nothing for the people who furnish him the money on which to do business. They insist that the home merchant shall carry a large stock of goods from which they can select what they wish, when they think It is*to their Interest to buy from him. They insist that he shall stand back Of the goods he sells and make good any defect that may appear In thqih. They insist that he shall sell them what they wish and wait for the money until they get ready to pay it. They Insist that he shall sell goods at the game prices *6r lower prices than the mall order houses charge for goods of poorer quality. And finally, they Insist that the home merchant shall furnish the large nraount of capital that Is required to conduct a business on this plan. The mail order buyer may say that be has the right to spend his money mywhere he pleases and he has. legally. But he probably has never stopped to reflect on the fact that he Is supplying the capital for the operation of a concern which Is in direct competition with enterprises In Which he is directly interested, for every man, woman and child in a town Is directly interested In the success of the business enterprises In that town. If these business enterprises are not prosperous, the town eannot be prosperous. To supply capital to your competitor is not very good

SHE WAS [?] ROUD WAITRESS

Girl Drafted <. IWet an Emergency b.Jitv'.d to f.ck Up Fork x jJ. f, Dnjptsd try. Guest. The pride of the average, American girt Is quite as noticeable among farmers’ daughters as any other class. This Is illusti-uted by the’ experience of a resident ot a neighboring state who, according to Osteopathic Magazine, with a week-end company of guests on his hands, was left on Saturday without a waitress to serve the elaborate meals that had been planned. After a good deal of persuasion he succeeded In getting the consent of a neighboring farmer’s daughter to help out in the emergency although she had "never done anything of the kind. He assured her she would be well paid and that all she would have to do would be to answer the call of the bell, perform the required service and leave the room. As the company was seating itself at the table one of the men hit 1 a fork with his elbow, knocking it to the floor. The host touched the bell and as the doqr into the kitchen opened and the .gfrl stuck her head Inquiringly into the room, he said: “The gentleman dropped a fork,” indicating the location with a motion of his hand. The girl stepped fully into the room and with mingled astonishment and Indignation said: “You don’t mean ter say you rung that bell Just ter have me come In an’ pick up that fork, do yer? Of all things! If he’s too lazy to pick It up himself, you can let It' lay there. I won’t touch it.” Then she made a hurried exit, banging the door. Hilarious a mild term to apply to the uproar that followed, and the discomfited host joined Id the merriment.

FAMILY OF SQUIRREL PETS

Four Half-Grown Red Bunnies In Possession of Maine High School Student Are Privileged Characters. The liveliest pets, perhaps in all Maine, are four half-grown red squirrels, the proud possession of Morris Rich, a student in Hallowell High school, observes the Kennebec Journal. The squirrel and her babies were captured when the latter were too young to know a butternut from a doughnut —but they are experts on the question now. The mother escaped, but the youngsters know a good thing when they see it, and they seem to have no Intention of quitting the place where food is plenty and a warm nest always inviting. They whisk up the furry legs of "Lady," the dignified collie, scurry across her back, perhaps to leap from there to the shoulder of some member of the family. They “snss” the cat to her face and she seems to understand that they are privileged characters. They are fond of chocolate and are neither diffident nor lack “cheek” when their wonderful little smellers tell them Jthat something good Is on the family table. But the fun begins when there is only one piece for two scrappy, perfect, perfectly healthy jand determined young squirrels. They are “fighting blood” from ear tips to toenails, and the air is full of squirrels and squeals right away after war is declared. When the kicking and fancy tumbling ends both contestants are discovered to be sitting up, calmly and serenely nibbling at the booty gained or saved —no evidence of altercation or resentment anywhere.

Why Is a Guinea Hen?

Whoever designed the guinea hen and composed the music for her vocal organs must have used a rasp for thq tuning fork. Guinea hens and their husbands are alike in appearance; when you’ve seen one you’ve seen the (other. Their plumage is of one and the same piece of goods like the Quakers’. If ever you have indulged in filing the teeth of a cross-cut saw you’ve heard the synonym of her melody Nature produced this variety of fowl and the- farmer who gives her board and lodging is no good Christian. I say this because any man who sells you a guinea hen as youthful and tender, has designed to skin you. I have a dim recollection of tasting one many years ago, and I'will say this —the gravy was quite tender. A group of guineas running to keepsiut of harm’s way, resembles a streak of ten-cent calico of somber hue, with polkadots. The guiuea hen lays a very small egg with spots on it similar to those we see at cheap grocery stores In fly time. The eggs have no rating in the commercial world. They are used exclusively for hatching more trouble. — Zirn, in Cartoons Magazine.

For the Simple Life.

As a race, we are constantly dying before onr time, and very often leading forlorn lives, making those around us miserable, simply because we are disobeying the simple laws of life, and among other things poisoning ourselves with bacterial infections, thus causing tills very condition of auto-intoxica-tion, writes Dr. VV. H. Vail, In Chrtstion Herald. Onr plea, first, last and all the time. Is for the simple life, which is not necessarily a vegetarian diet, only It so happens that the vegetable kingdom supplies the best articles pf diet, in our estimation. As we have said, add milk and eggs to the vegetables and you have the perfect diet. Eliminate the food stimulants, for they creat.* an urtfflcial appetite, thus leading people -o eat more than the system can ap■ropriate, and causing auto-lntoxica-iou. with its deadly results.

2000 HOGS ON STOCK FARM NEAR HERE
