larger portion of his time in Russia

The majority are prosperous and although they are particularly interested in the questions that are confronting their country at present, they are taking no active part in the uprisings, which have so marked the history of the great empire in the past few years. They are living in a prosperous wheat country and

millions of dollars worth of grain is harvested each year. . Mr. Strattan is well pleased with his trip in its -entirety and in addition to seeing many interesting places, he gained a good insight Into the char-

Observers of weather condition report that on Friday a majority' of the robins that annually come from the south passed over this section and that this can be taken as a good indication that real spring weather is close nt hand. The brown thrush, also a summer bird, has made its appearance.

GOOD REASONS WHY THEY DESERVE YOUR SUPPORT.

MEANS MUCH TO COMMUNITY

H is at the Head of the Things That Are Good for the Town and Your self.

'Copyright, by AKred C. Clark.) The above head 13 a subject that can well be treated as open for discussion and consideration at any and all times. It is also a subject that should Interest all persons who have at heart the welfare of the community in which he lives and who wishes to see it grow and prosper. No person can afford to do what he knows will work an injury to the community in which he lives. In justice to himself he cannot refuse his support to the home industries that are striving for existence and the welfare of the town In which he goes to do his trading. In considering this question It should be borne In mind that the country people, like all other American citizens, are always on the'.lookout for a place to invest their money that will bring them the biggest returns for the least expenditure; in this they are right and are justified in so doing, but, at the same time they should remember that they are dependent on the home merchant for the money that they send to foreign markets. If they should stop to think how these catalogue houses are operated, and look into, and know, the true condition of affairs, probably they would reconsider the stand they had taken toward them. In many cases the people are ignorant of the true surroundings and inside operations of these concerns and think they are doing right in sending them their money. They are led to believe that what they get from the catalogue house Is the same article that the home merchant sells, only "at a much lower price. The majority of the people do not know that they are buying the cheapest article that can be manufactured and

from the wholesaler or manufacturer and it will be sent to the purchaser in as good condition and short time as if it had been ordered from a catalogue house. The home merchant's business must be kept up and la order to do this it is absolutely necessary that the people at home patronize him and help him keep up with the times, or ejse he will soon be out of the struggle for existence among the country people. The home merchant should not b expected to pay the highest price for produce and farm products and then be turned down by the seller of these articles when he wants anything In the merchant's line. He should be the first one to be consulted when the farmer intends buying. He should be seen and arrangements made for the purchase of the, article. If he does not carry it in stock. The home merchant advertises or should advertise, in the home paper. This keeps the home paper in the field and helps the community along. The people take the home paper because it gives all the local news that they cannot get any other way and thus the advertisements of the merchants are read by them. If the people do not patronize the home merchant he cannot afford to advertise, and without advertising a paper will soon prove a failure. Soon the home paper is sent to the wall for the want of support from the merchants; it may have a large circulation, but without the merchant's help it will soon be lost to sight. Then the merchant is next to get out of business for the want of support, and the town will decrease In population, and the people will wonder what the trouble i3 when the editor and the merchant leave town together. The home merchant contributes to the support of the church, he pays his taxes to keep the schools up, he contributes to the horse show, the fall festival, and the hundred and one things that he Is supposed to help out and give his support to. He 13 at the bead of the list for everything that is for the good of the community and he deserves the honest and hearty cooperation of all the people, all the time, that are interested in the welfare of the community in which they live.

It's a Shell Game You Pay Your Money Without Knowing What You Are Going to Get.

that they are in reality paying more for an inferior grade of goods than those sold by the home merchant, which probably cost them a few cents more. Since the catalogue house has sprung into the commercial world and begun operations in the United States, all kinds of schemes have been tried and - worked to get the money from the people that are always looking for bargains. No expense has been spared in their struggle for the almighty dollar of the country people, and they have been so far successful, at the great expense of the home town of the people that sent their money, to these concerns. Magazines have been started for the sole benefit of the catalogue house, and these circulated among the country people at ten or 15 cents a year. They build, up a circulation on this low price of hundreds of thousands; this circulation brings to them millions of dollars in advertising frcm the catalogue houses and this money expended for advertising is more than doubled from the sales of these concerns to the country people who are losers by the transaction. Catalogues are sent out telling the people that the house from which they came is the cheapest place in the country to buy, and it Is. if the person receiving this catalogue wants a cheap article, not only in price, but also i make and material. The farmer receives this catalogue, looks it over, and after reading the well composed guarantee or assurance that the goods described in it are the very best that can be found anywhere, sends in an order. The house receives the order and immediately ships the articles wanted. The farmer , drives many miles to get them and when the box is opened it is found to contain something much below his expectations, but this does not satisfy his mind on the fact that he has been duped and that he is not getting his full money value. In a second' order he may be treated the same as the first one. but still he may think that he has saved money by baying it where he could get it cheap. At the same time the merchant at home has the goods on the shelf in h!s store waiting for them to be taken away so that he can replace thern with iiwer goods, thereby keeping his stock fresh and up-to-date. If he has rxt the article wanted he can crdar it

fairs, ind he is ever on the go looking to the interests of the people. The people like, to be entertained and they will come many miles to some amusement, given by the merchants of the town where they are ever ready to go to sell their farm products. The merchant cannot give these entertainments unless he has the support of the people and it is not fair to expect thi3 of the men that are striving for a livelihood, when the people send their money to a concern In some far away city that will neither contribute to any of these enterprises or take an interest In the surroundings thereof. Home trading makes home industries, brings more to the town and keeps them there, and it helps to build up the place. But the town will be at a stand-still so long as the people persist in this way of robbing the home merchants of the right to live and do business among them. If the people will keep their money at home there will be no need for complaint. The place will assume a lively air, it will tafce on a metropolitan look, and the people will say to their neighbor that business is good, and it will be, as long as the people continue to trade in the home markets. The least that a person can do toward the betterment of the community and his own interest?, is to keep the money at home and see to it that it is put where it is most needed and wanted. This should be a vital question to all concerned in the welfare of his community ..nd it should be an established rule that -one should not seek for things in other parts that he can get at home. FEXTON J. LAWLER.

Origin of "Helpmeet. "Helpmeet" has had a curious history which began with the biblical account " of the creation, when "the Lord God said. It fs not good that the man should be alone: I win make him an help meet for him." That is to say. a fit assistant. But the two words liove become curiously combined into- a -"helpmeet," and they are constantly used as one. Moreover, the confusion is increased by the cor

ruption of the words into 'help-mate. i and Macaulay writes of -the waiting I woman who was "generally consider- ' ed as the most suitable help mate for a parson." !
