by town at a few dollars less per week? What would you say? The same principle applies to buy-ing-at-home. Everytime you send money out of town, and fail to give the local merchant an opportunity of at least showing what he has to sell, you are doing exactly the same thing in a different way. Put yourself in the merchant’s place and you will know exactly how it feels. Remember that you are earning

your livelihood In this town and that the merchants are entitled to the same consideration from you, as you expect from your employer. The next time you fe?l the inclination to send money out of town, just give the local merchant a thought. See what merchants are advertising in the local paper and tell them what you want. Advertisers in this paper want ; your patronage and invite you to

deal at their place of business. It is thru this business spirit of our • valued advertisers, that it has been found possible to publish weekly for : your benefit, a newspaper which we ! believe is appreciated by a large per- I centage of the impulation. I Buylng-AT-Home means more than । the hard economical problem which ' । we must all face,- thore is another ; । aspect to the question, the aspect we pointed out for your consideration in the opening paragraph of this article. Buying-At-Home also means that j the industrial firms of thecity should make it a point of buying all they can procure in this town. Several of them do and their action is highly ’ to be commended, but there are sev- ' eral firms which overlook this important phase of local economics in Buying-At-Home. Trust Your Banker. If ever there was a time in the history of business when people, who have a little money to invest. Should refuse to listen to the siren song of a very large number of agents scouring the country to sell stocks and securities of one kind and another, it is right now. Millions of hard earned dollars have been pored into these rat holes simply because the agents huxe held out inducements in the way of interest above that which home institutions can pay. j Buying foreign and unknown investm* nts always puts us in mind of a man who |«tronizes the Sears and Roebucks of the country. These same out of town purchasers when hard times come along and they need ere<i,t.must then apply to the hometown merchant, whom they have 1nored, for help. Just so with a good many investors who bu> stocks they know nothing of and when loss comes as it is doing with alarming frequency those days, then they nyist sneak aroun ' to the home bank or for greatly needed h>lp. The home banker, who is generally honest and cons* rvatH e and whom you have known all your life will not advise you to go on Wall street neither will he tr > to steal your money; but he can and will tell you of good bonds to buy and good Investment to make. He knows because he is in the monev business When you want a horse shod you de. not take him to a plumber, you take him to a blacksmith shop b**cause the man then' is in the business. And its the same way with money ; go to some man who knows, in whom you have confidence and in all money i transactions he ought to be your banker. That prophet that said eightteen months ago that Eun>pv would l»- in flames of war in less than half a year has adopted the custom of all prophets aryl postponed the date. . Sometimes it occurs to us that sci- . ence might do better to confine its actpity to planning for the future and not put in so much time digging back into antiquity. - ■ ♦♦ Will thia ever be a happy country until can,dy gets back to forty cents a pound?

We chanced to find a memorandum book the other day while walking (down Mchigan street in South Bend, and our attention was drawn to a particular page which tells a story all its own and in its own language. We will let you in on it if you like modern novels in abbreviated style. Here it is.

We turned! to the first page first, naturally, expecting to fin/i a story that told of any of our friends, in that important position. But we found nothing. The society page was given second consideration. Maybe a w r edding? Whose nose? But dissappointment crownejd our efforts there too. Becoming discouraged, we looked on the sport page, then thru the market reports, and finally, in Sheer desperation, not caring what happened, we turned to the court news^ fully expecting to see the name of some former friend who had been arrested for crime, and was held in jail for lack of some o«ie to bail him out. But we failed to find anything w« recognized there.
