If that isn t your first thought, you have no right to a familv—a better man should take it away from you. Your business. — to which your home repre®ls comfort and happiness to your family and yourself depends largely on the success of your business, and the degree of the success of your business is dependent almost entirely on the prosperity of your city. Your city.—The prosperity of your city depends absolutely upon the conduct of its inhabitants. The degree of your loyalty to your city and those who live in it, measures the comfort of your home, your prosperity, and the happiness of your family. Nobody will take issue with the foregoing, and you know what we think of the opinion of ‘ ‘Nobody. When you buy—buy at home. The reasons why you shouldn’t — the mail-order house will give you. Here are.some of them; When you buy—buv on faith; look over the beautiful pictures in catalogues, we will send you anything and everything you neeti. Trust us—but don’t expect us to trust you—send cash with order. Even though you may have to wait patiently for a few weeks while we get the goods from the factory with your money—drawing interest on it in the meantime—you should be glad to help us, because we need more mansions, more automobiles and more trips to Europe. GIVE THE GLAD HAND A Great many new people are coming into this community this winter. Don’t forget to give them your welcome. Go up the first time you meet them, introduce yourself, tell them who you are and tell them how glad you are to

see them and how anxious you are to make them feel right at home. Let them know right away before they have time to find it out for themselves, that our people are the most hospitable and sociable of any people in the world and that they can count themselves the most fortunate people in the world in having their lot thrown among us. Tell them all the good things you know about the country. They have left their own surroundings and come, among new conditions. They are naturally easily frightened with something they do not fully understand. Did you ever get into a town a stranger and find that you continued to be regarded as a stranger by the citizens of that town? It was assumed that you were not a fit subject to associate with until you had by a long residence demonstrated that you were not a thief or a wifebeater. This is the social atmosphere that surrounds a stranger in many old communities, but we hope that with us every stranger is assumed to be a gentleman until he proves the contrary. Welcome strangers and tell them so. We want people to come and live among us and we must make them feel our welcome when they come. THE SPLIT LOG DRAG The Split log drag has contributed more toward the economic maintenance of public highways than any implement of modern usage. It does not require special acts of the legislature, bond issues nor expensive educational campaigns to make it available as usually precedes construction work. A drag can be built or purchased for twenty dollars and is easily operated by any one who can drive a team. We need more drags in this state. • - * eA DETRIMENT ¥ The Scarcity of houses in Syracuse is a detriment to the town. A suitable residence, vacant, is almost as scarce as the proverbial hen’s teeth. Rent is from ten to twenty per cent higher in Syracuse than in any small town in northern Indiana. Surely, houses renting for a moderate sum would be paying investments here. CHEAP MONEY Cheap Money is the fount that makes the brook of industry flow and without it the homeless farmer can hardly hope for a home or th j manufacturing industry expect to prosper. The farmers of the United States owe $5,000,000,000 and cheap money will mean millions of dollars in saving to the farmer. For Sale —One five-passenger two-cylin-der Auburn. One 1911 model Overland.

LIVE FROG IN CHILO’S STOMACH A Warning To Residents Who Who Use City Water Without Boiling Mrs. Harry Wolf and her nov eighteen-month’s old baby, of Chi cago, visited her parents, Mr. ant Mrs. Robert Gregory, in Syracuse for some time last summer. Ii Chicago they had been accustomet to using the water from the hydran for drinking purposes. They weri warned against using our city water but several times at nigh the baby was given a drink. Shortly after this the child became ill and grew poor and wa treated for indigestion. No im- - provement was made, however, and the doctors became curious. About ten days ago the Chicago physician made an X-ray examination of the little one’s stomach and a large dark spot was discovered. They decided to operate last week and when the babe’s stomach was opened a frog weighing over a halfpound was found. The doctors say that a tadpole must have been taken inio the stomach with water and the frog developed and grew oa the milk and other foods given the baby. The youngster craved food continually but of course anything which it was fed was eaten by the unwelcome occupant of the stomach. If the trouble had not been discovered when it was the baby would have died of starvaiion. Since the operation, the child has been doing nicely and ail indications point toa speedy recovery. This should be a warning to people who drink Syracuse city water without boiling it. On the other hand, city water should be fit to drink. Syracuse needs a Altering plant and needs it bad. The school board has long agitated this matter but as yet no action has been taken. Under SSOO Bonds James Brissel and Susan Searfoss were arrested bf Deputy feherriff Cory, last week. Neither one was placed in jail as the bonds for SSOO each were immediately furnished, Installing Bath Mr. and Mrs. R. J.

The Quality Hardware Store Asks Questions That Are Assertions Are Worth Considering By Those Intending To Buy An Automobile

Why do auto owners come to you and tell you that the famous valve-in-the-head Buick machine gives more power with the same size motor than the otbar kjnd of motor? , Why is the guarantee on Buick cars more liberal than on any other car selling at several hundred dollars more. Why is it that some of the Buick competitors have tried to get the Buick agency from us. Why is it thal Buick cars have longer life than some others and they upkeep so much less? Why is it that the last five hundred mile reliability contest held in New York that there were only three perfect scores awarded and they were Buick, Buick, Buick? Why is it that in the last fpel economy contest that was held in New York tKe Buick won first, second, third and fourth prizes. Why. is that the last hill climb contest held in western Pennsylvania was won by the nine hundred and seventy-five dollar Buick, when it completed against other make cars, some selling at three thousand dollars. Why is 1t that the city of Boston selected Twenty for Buicks for their fire department against all competitors. Why is it that the Delco Electric Co., who sell their electric appliances to numerous automobile manufacturers bought twenty-six Buicks for the use of their officials. Why is it that the man who buys a buick machine, after he has owned cars of other makes, selling at more money, is such a Buick booster. Why is it that the man who boosts Buick cars cars does so voluntarily and not for a rake-off in his influence over you is the result of you buying a Buick car, as is the case in some other makes. Why is it that some dealers must give you a discount when you buy a car, if their cars are as good as a Buick, as some dealers claim. Why is it that the tree that bears the best fruit is that you find the most clubs under? Why is it that the purchaser of an automobile should consider very seriously before purchasing anyassembled car? Why is it that the purchaser of a machine should have a well established manufacturer back of him and also local dealers who have she necessary equipment to take care of him after buying.

Why did the Buick in one single year, in hill climbs and races, in competition, with all makes and prices of cars, win more prizes than any one manufacturer ever dreamed of winning his entire automobile experieirct? Why does the fastest racing car in the w’orld use a valve in-the-head motor? Why don’t our campetitors use a valve in-the head motor? Ask them. Their answers will be many Why was the Buick Motor Company factory the only large factory in the country that did not curtail its production for 1914 during the winter months? Why does the Buick Motor Company have the largest automobile factory in the world. Why does a six cylinder valve-in-in-the-head Buick travel 17 or more miles on a gallon of gasoline? Why do aot some of our competitors take up the Buick Motor Company challenge issued in the Saturday Evening Post to produce a Buick car that was ever worn oijit or the parts could not be from stock by the Buick Motor Companies? Why doipi’t our competitors take up the Buick Motor Company challenge to produce as many cars that have run 25000, 50,000, 75,000, 10.0,000 and 125,000 miles? Why do you try to convince your self that there are automobiles being sold for Jess money that are “just as good” as Buicks? Don,t you think the manufacturer is foolish enough to sell them for less, or do you think he is in business for his health? Ask yourself and our competitors this question. Cutting prices is no indication of quality. Why do you buy an automobile whose engine has proven itself to consume more gasoline than a valve-in-the-head Buick? Why don’t you investigate these proven facts? Any authority will substantiate toem. Why don’t other dealers write tee same contract we do when selling a car. If you don t get it you you are the,loser. This you should investigate fully You can have a sample copy from us any time you apply for it.j Why don’t you permit us to prove the above facts [if ouif competitors cannot] and then you will fully realize whdt is meant by us when we say Why Don’t You Buy A Buick?
