Perhap3 our Tines doesn't know that a larga number cf our folks havo received offers from one of the very large! and best ct the Mail Order Houses to buy shares of stock in their business and we'd have a chance to receive 5onie of those dividends, also. We know cf ona innance a man went to a retail dealer for a can cf paint and was asked $1.80. He

SonsI Our friend has taken us to ta3k be i cause wo are boosters of home trade We do adviso against sending to mail order bouses for something whtcn can be bought in the local retail store and we will nhow you ons 0 ... i two reasons why. Our friend gives ; u h tho lnimtance of a man beinig aaltj ed ?l. more at a retail store than ! ho paid for it at u catalog house, i Well, here 1b where we aro. In the ! first place the catalog house vrhich our correspondent mentions as havl ins stock for sale takes pride in the J fact that it and It only handles the i brand of paint it carries in stock, anu 1 that it makes it ini its own factory doo-j another catalog house which , v.e lutve lnvesiigaicu. on wo 1 u hrr that the retailer could not i iKtvfi offered this man the same brand Mint Furthermore- wo ha3 lmked uo nalnt prices in the catalog n i.

For example, one catalog hao paint listed at $1.50 per gallon I'e ttO IiR3 It et SI--"-This i3 for barn paint Very well, barn paint la sold right" here in Vernon nt Nauer's Drna Store end Wen.

Where docs iis savo mone tj send awav for articles On paint a ks' of 50 cents per gallon plus trie express is incurrel by patrortzln mail order firms. Many people like to boast of bread thev make of Minnesota spring Wheat Flour not knowing that trie flour is made of wheat bought rlsht here in Indiana, shipped to Minnesota, ground into flour, anu hipm1 right tack her for pale at prices ru't 23 cents upward above ioca flour on every 24 pound.

TO MAKE DEAD SEA OF USE Norwegian Engineer Would Convert It Into Essential Factor of Remarkable Power Plant. A Norwegian engineer, Mr. Albert HJorth, Las worked out a project which. If It Is ever translated Into actual engineering will make the Dead sea the essential factor la a very remarkable power plant. The Dead sea lies about 1.-400 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, although the small body of water and the big one are only 8T miles apart. And so It has occurred to Mr. HJorth that a tunnel from the greater body of water could lead to the Dead sea and provide enormous water power by the drop from one level to the other. Worked out in detail, and with a view to various commercial possibilities, the plan is Interesting engineers and there are those who believe that an estimated expense of about $00,000,000 would be well repaid by the results. Th scheme would yield Its profits by making possIMa the production of lime nitrate, by providing power for mlnlns operations, by the distribution of electric light and power over the neighboring country, by providing, in. connection with Lake Gennesaret. for an extensive Irrigation system and the reclamation of waste land, by permitting the establishment of extensive i salt works, end by the err-lc.'tatSr-n c! ; great 'local Sepesits of . . than that, the geological maps of the country Indicate that the boring of the tunnel would not be especially dincult. The tunnel would pass under Jerusalem, and the Dead sea. It Is estimated, would become normally about cne-ftfth larger than it Is at present. Not Neceary Yet. It happens that a pad of old formf. ouce used In the mother's pension de partment of the defunct county court is still on the desk of Circuit Judge Tazweil. It also appears that th size of these sheets Is exactly right for an outside cover In rolling up a marriage certificate. The forms frequently have been made use of by the Jurist who is breaking numerous courthouse record in the number of couples joined In wedlock. A large square envelope caught the judge's eye when he appeared for business yesterday, and he opened It. The missive was from a bride of ten days. The honeymoon was just over, she observed and la examining her marriage certificate, she had noticed the slip of paper on the outside calling for data from those who would apply for a mother's pension. "Am I supposed to fill that out and return it't" she asked artlessly. 'Not yet," wrote the Judge blow her signature, and mailed the letter baci to the sender. Portland Cregenian. Good Field for Films. Several picture-producing companies have of Lite secured English estates for their work; and It Is reported that the Oatlands Lodge estate, cf twenty acres, has teen acquired by ens ci the oldest British fllm-makla concerns. This lodge Is a part of the former royal demsla of Oatlands, which was a veritable rendezvous of monarch! In tlma past. Henry YXH, Quaca Elizabeth, James I and Charles I all stayed there t different tliaesi Together with lta historic traditions, Oatlands Lofij has such an attraction as the remains of a subterranean passage, a relic which no doubt will b very useful to the film producer.
