W
THE FIELD
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
Somo CauBC8 for Complaint Which
Can Bo Obliterated by tho
United Efforts of tho
People.
How often do we hear It said that
the young man baa not tho opportun
ity that tho young man of a acoro of
years ago had. How great la tho com
plaint of tniBts and combinations
which control Industries to tho detri
ment of tho amallor onea in business,
and how often is referenco mado to
buaincsa concentration in tho lurgo
cities at tho cost of tho smaller
towns.
Innovations In business methods
hnvo been many. It may bo said that
this is an era of economical methods;
that evolution la going on continually
broadening tho field for individual
effort and making posslblo tho opera
tion of mammoth enterprises. There
can bo no doubt as to the detrimental
effects upon small towns of this busi
ness concentration In tho lnrgor cities.
Peaslmlats deploro tho lack of oppor
tunity for tho young men of to-day.
At tho same tlmo tho largo corpora
tions put forth tho cry that thcro Is a
scarcity of tho right kind of material
for important places of trust. How
ever this may be, thcro Is ono thing
evident, and that Is, small towns being
kept from advancing narrows tho
Hold for tho young men who would
othorwlso enjoy an opportunity to en
gugo In business.
Trnvollng to tho largo city for em
ployment, tho youth, perhaps, seeks a
clerkship at moderato wages. There
aro thousands of others that ho must
compoto with In tho raco for success.
Ills Hold Is narrowed. It Is not often
that ho has fair competition, and fa
voritism ho Hilda Is ono of tho obstruc
tions In his way. Ono of tho cures
for this condition Is to devlso means
of onlarglng tho scope and Importance
of tho so-called country towns.
Thoro Is no economical reason why
tho largo city should havo tho busi
ness that rightfully belongs to tho
small town. Thoro is no saving in
buying goods nt a distant point even
though a small percentage may' bo
saved directly. Whenever a resident
of a community sends his money to
somo other community for tho neces
sities that ho requires, ho robs his
own homo town of a certain amount
of business. Employment Is given to
tho peoplo of tho largo city instead of
tho people of tho local community.
It has boon estimated that moro
than GO per cent, of tho trade goes
from Bomo communities to larger
cities. If this trado wero given to tho
homo town, it would Immediately don
bio Its business Importnnco and give a
corresponding Increase In employment
for tho people. This means that tho
population of tho town would bo In
creased and tho opportunity for en
gaging In business would bo greater.
Not only this, but it is nn established
principle that values of farm lands to
a great extent aro dependent upon tho
activity of the town near which tho
farms may bo located. Thus it is
plain that if tho sons of farmers
would have greater opportunities open
to them for engaging in business, it
enn be increased by closely adhering
to tno homo trado and home protec
Hon principle which widens tho local
Held for individual effort in a business
way.
Evory man is an important factor
in tho community where ho resides.
His Influenco is either good or bad.
His valuo ns a citizen is gauged ac
cording to his works. Tho honest la
boror, howovor humblo, Is a valuablo
acquisition to society, and so Is every
other producer.
It is estimated that peoplo of tho
United States pay botween $5,000,000
and $G,000,000 yearly for what Is
known as "phony" jewelry, which Is
sold by concoms oporntlng through
tho malls. It Is not long slnco that a
young mnn In a westorn town ordered
a diamond ongngomont ring from a
houso located in a mlddlo western city
and paid $100 for tho same. Ho car
ried It to the local jeweler and a careful
examination brought forth tho opinion
that it was a low-grado diamond.
Later it wus dlscovorod that It was
merely nn imitation stono nnd valued
at about $10. It is a wIbo idea for
peoplo who deslro to purchase any
thing In tho Jowolry lino to patronlzo
concerns which nro locally known as
thoroughly rollablo.
Residents of( rural communities

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.
Strnngorfj to a town form tfhelr
opinions as to Ha peoplo by tho np
pcarauco of tho business places and
tho residences. In a town whero tho
buildings nro dingy and dirty, and tho
ahow windows of tho Btorcs aro care-
lesaly arranged, it Is ovldenco that
thoro Is a lack of enterprise. It pays
tho business men of a town to bo care
ful as to tho exterior appearances of
their places of business.
Small towns usually contnln but few
expensive residences. It matters little
how Inexpensively built resldencea aro
If tho bulldlnga arc kept well painted
and tho yarda neat and clean. This
la ovldenco of the good tnsto of tho
peoplo.
In many towns in country districts
thoro aro hitching posts placed hero
and thoro before tho stores. It Is gen
erally tho case that where tho hitch
ing post Is found, unless tho street is
well paved, there la a mud hole.
Evory town that is Incorporated
should havo regulations ns to tho
placing of hitching posts Indiscrimin
ately In tho streets. There ahould be
set nsldo somo aide street that Is con
venient to tho business portion of tho
town, whero tho farmers and others
can hitch their teams instead of in
front of tho stores.
Good sidewalks give tho strancors
to a town a favorable InmreBsion of
tho place, and also they are h advan
tage in many ways and may prove n
matter of economy through tho pre
vention of accidents that might clvo
causo for damage against tho town
corporation.
Nearly every small town has Its
public park. It is often noticed that
these parks aro little cared for. They
aro public pastures and serve no good
purpose ns places where the peoplo
of tho town can meet evenlncs for
social intercourse. People of towns
should tnko prldo in keeping the pub
lic parks in good condition. They can
bo mado beauty spots with but Httlo
effort and expense.
Need a Good Bank.
A good bank Is a valuable asset for
tho small town. During these days
of prosperity peoplo of almost every
community have a surplus amount of
money to deposit in tho bank, or to
Invest In a way that will bring a
fair margin of interest. Lately a sys
tem has grown up of doing a banking
business by mail. Alleged savings
banks and Investment companies in
large cities ndvei'tlso widely offering
six to soven per cent. Interest on de
posits. Many who havo Httlo knowl
edge of financial affairs make depos
its In theso-banks. Tho Lincoln bank
at Oak Park, 111., was one of these in
stitutions that mado great offers to
the peoplo of agricultural districts In
order to secure deposits. More than
$1,000,000 wero deposited by farmers
and others In this concern. Within a
year It was declared unsound by the
United States authorities, tho pro
motor of it placed under arrest and
charged with fraud. The poor do
luded depositors aro not likely to re
ceive five per cent, of their deposits.
Remember that when you send your
money from your local community It
ceases to be any .factor In developing
homo resources or in adding to tho
wealth of the place. It is better al
ways to patronlzo homo banks than
banks far away.
Ono of tho swindles that Is now be
ing operated throughout tho country
Is being worked by a number of stock
food agents. They visit a locality,
represent to somo responsible farm
er how much monoy enn bo made
through becoming an agent for tho
stock food. No money Is required In
advance, but they ask that an agree
ment bo signed to tnko a certain
nmount of tho food. This agreement
later turns up ns n noto, and tho fnrm
or pays 20 times over what tho cheap
stuff ho receives is worth.
represents that ho Is merely advertis
ing it, and desires to plnco ono on
trial without cost to tho farmer. Of
course n receipt for tho wooden box
is asked. This receipt In the course
of a fow months turns up as a prom
lsory noto for $GS. Tho farmer has a
cheap wooden affair on his hands that
Is not worth tho room it occupies,
and a total failure as far as tho re.
frlgorator goes.
Peoplo aro interested In prices of
goods. The wiso merchants fully ap
preciate tho value of tho homo paper
as a medium of intercourse with their
customers. Well-written advertise
ments and tho naming of prices at
trnct attention, for tho avorngo per
son when his attention is called to an
rirticlo always wants to know tho
cost.
Ono dollar circulated in a commun
ity is worth to It $50 circulated In
somo other place. A district is mado
wealthy only by retaining in It tho
dollars that aro earned within it, or
which may be brought to it through
commerce.
NEW IDEA IN SALAD.
Always Popular Dish Put Up In Novel
Manner.
This snlad Is arranged on Individual
plates. Take six small lettuce leaves,
and arrange them uround tho plate;
In tho center of,theso leaves put about
ono tablospoonful of salad dressing;
this makes the center of the daisy
points, which have been made by cut
ting Into narrow strips tho whites of
hard-boiled eggs. Take tho yolks of
tho hard-boiled eggs, and by mashing
them through a strainer and scatter
ing thorn over tho tablospoonful of
snlad dressing, it will give It a rough
appearance, and will give tho finish
ing touch to qulto a good counterfeit
of a real daisy. Tho dressing for this
snlad Is made by beating together
thrco eggs, adding to this one cupful
of milk, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar,
half a teaspoonful of salt, tho same of
whltp pepper, two teaspoonfuls of mus
tard, butter tho slzo of an egg, mado
Into a smooth paste by mixing with
two teaspoonfuls of water. Boll for
about 20 minutes, or until It thickens;
when cool arrange on tho lettuce
leaves.
CARE OF TABLE LINEN.
Here Is Truly Where a "Stitch In
Tlnte" Does Wonders.
Too Httlo attention is paid to the
wear and tear on tablecloths and nap
kins as a rule. Thoy aro washed and
Ironed and put away, regardless of tho
places that aro becoming thin and
worn until these spots become holes
and it suddenly dawns on tho dis
mayed housekeeper that her table
linen Is "going all to pieces."
If tiny holes are found in table linen
tho first thing to do Is to darn them
neatly, selecting the numbers of
thread or cotton best suited to the
material to bo darned, using as fine n
needle as possible. If the material is
much worn it is best to lay a pleco
of the same under tho thin place and
darn down upon It. This gives
strength, though it does not look qulto
as neat as it would without tho extra
pleco of material beneath. A ragged
tear always must have an extra pleco
beneath.
Chicken Cheese.
Vogue says that to mako chicken
cheese boll two chickens in water to
cover until the moat will fall from
the bones. Then remove all the bones,
mince tho meat very fine, season with
salt and popper, nnd return to tho
water In which they wore boiled, add
ing a tablespoonful of butter, ono of
minced celery, and half an onion
sliced. Cook until the liquor Is nearly
gone, skim out the onion, and pour
Into a deep diBh. Put a plato over it
with a weight on top, and set away In
a cold place until firm. When ready
to bo eaten cut In neat slices, and
servo with a Httlo red currant jelly or
somo aspic mayonnaise.
Fans to Match Gowns.
Tho mandato from London Is that
the fashionable woman must have a
different fan for every gown and ono
for every occasion. "A tiny fan in a
shade to match the hat should be car
ried In tho park in tho morning," says
an authority. "An afternoon fan is
more elaborate, but equally small. It
Is made of real lace or fine silk, em
broidered with flowers. The river fan
Is made of paper, printed with a floral
design. A tiny mother-of-pearl fan
folds fits into a vanity bag. Tho
peacock's feather fan Is a novelty of
the season and floral fans mado from
real flowerB will be largely in request.
Bracelet That Is Smart.
Heavy flat bracelets, carved and
wrought, are being worn, and old
Greek coins linked together form
others of tho many quaint arm orna
ments which the fad has unearthed.
Carbuncles framed in Bettings of old
yellow gold aro effective, and ame
thysts, cut oblong and sot In flat set
tings of chased gold, are equally beau
tiful.
Orange Meringue.
Cut two oranges In half crosswise.
With spoon take out pulp and juice.
Clean tho Inside of tho skins, as thoy
will servo as cups for the mixture.
Whip stiff tho white of ono ogg, add
ing sufficient sugar to make a me
ringuo. To half of this meringue add
the orange and juico nnd two table
spoons of claret. Fill the skins and
top It with a spoon of tho clear me
ringue, nddlng a maraschino cherry,
or, if preferred, a bit of jolly. Ono
orango serves two, a half for each
person.
Fourth of July Gingerbread.
A good, old-fashioned Fourth ot

Is Pe-runa Useful
for Catarrh?
Should a list of tho ingredients of Pe
runa be submitted to any medical ex
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
ho would bo obliged to admit without
reserve that each ono of thorn was of un
doubted value in chronio catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood tho test of many
years' experience in tho treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAR BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed of the most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh.. Every ingredient
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to tho home tho COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
tho home tho scientific skill and knowl
edge of the modern pharmacist ; and last
butnotlcast,brings to tho home the vast
and varied experience of Dr. Hartman,
intheuse of catarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be of tho nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the na
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY 'ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
