MEANS MUCH TO COMMUNITY He Ie at the Head of the Thlngl That Are Good ror the Town and Your. lalf. ; li.- ( CopyrIght , by AlCred C. Clark. ) The abovu head la a subject that nn well' be treated as open for dls. cusslon and consideration at any and al1 times. It 10 also a subject that , should Interest all persons who have ! , at heart the welfare of the community In which ho lives and who wishes to I Bee It grow and prosper. No person can attord to do what ho knows wUl work an Injury to the com. munlty In which ho llves. In justice to himself ho cannot refuse hlB sup. port to the home Industries that are IItrlvlng for exlstenco and the welfare of the town In which he goes to do hlB trading. In conslderlnl : this Question It - , hould be borne In mind that the coun. try people , mo al1 other Amorlcan citizens , are always on the lookout for a place to Inv.est their money that wUl bring them the blggcat returns for the least expenditure : In this they are right and are justified In so doing , but , at the same time hey should re. member that they are dependent on the home merchant for the money that l they Bond to foreign markots. , t It they shou1c1 stop to thlnl , how " these catalogue bouses are operated , ! and look Into , and know , the true con. dltlon of affairs , probably they would reconsider the stand they had taken towaN them. In many caGes the peo. pIe are Ignorant of the true surround. ings a.nd Inside operations of these concerns and think they are doing right In aendlng them tholr money. They are led to believe that what they cet from the catalogue house Is the same artIcle that the homo merchant Clells , only at a much lower price. The lIojorlty of the vcoplo do not know bat they are buying the cheavest . arUelc that can be manufactured and . from the wholesaler or manufnoturer and It wUJ be sent to the purchaser In ns good condlllon amI short tlmo as If It had been orderell from a catl1. ' log\lo house. The home merchl1.nt's business must be kept up and In order to do this It Is nbsolutcly necessary that the people at home patronize him and help him keep up with the times , or else ho will floon bo out of the struggle for oxlstence among the country people. The home.merchant SllOUld not be expected to pay the highest price for produce anll farm products and then bo turned down by the seller of these articles when ho wants anything In the merchant's Jlno. Ho should be the first ono to bo consulted when the fal'mer Intends buying , Ho should bo scan and arrangements made for the purchase of the artlclo , If ho docs not carry It.ln stock. The home merchant ach'ertlses or should advertise , In the homo paper. This kceVB the homo paper In the field and helps the community alon . The people take the home vaper because It glvcs 11.11 the local news thn.t they cannot get any other wn.y and thus the advertisements of the merchants are read by thom. If the people do not patronize the home merchant ho can. not afford to advertise , and without advertising a. vaPer will soon prove a ' home Is sont' failure. Soon' the paper to the wall for the want of support { rom the merchants : It may have a large circulation , but without the mer'\ chant's help It will soon bo lost to sight. Then the merchant Is next to get out of business for the want of support , and the town will decrease In populatton , and the people will won. der what the trouble Is when the editor and the merchant lea.vo town together. The home merchant contributes to the fluvport 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 helv out and give his support to. Ho is at the head of the lIst for ever.thlng that Is for the good of the community and he deserves the honest and hearty cooperation - operation of all the people , 11.11 the tlmo , that are Intercstod In the wel. faro of the community In which thcy lIvo.

I I , W. a hell Game-You Pay Your Money Without KnowIng What You Arf I t. , . Going to Get. that they are In reality paying moro tor an Inferior- grade of goods than" those sold by the home merchant , which probabl cost them a few cents more. Since the catalogue house has IIprung 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 alwaY locking for bargains. No eXlJense has been spared In their struggle tor the almighty dol. lar of the country people , and they have been so ta.r successful , at the great expense of the home town of the eople that sent their money to these ( ) oncerns. Magazlnos hIve been started for the solo benefit of the qatalogue house , and these cIrcula.ted among the country - try people at ten or 15 cents a year. They build up a circulation on this low price of hundreds of thousands : thla circulation brlnls to them mil. lions of dollars In advertising from the . . catalogue houses and this money ex. : pendod for advertising Is more than doubled from the sales of these con. . . cerns to the country people who are oJ losers by the transaction. . . . . ' .i 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 i receiving this catalogue wants a. cheav : ( , a.rtlcle , not only In price , but also In ' ( make and material. The farmer re- . I , colvos this catalogue , looks It over , ' . and after roadlng the well composed I guarantee or assurance that the goods described In It are the very best that can be found anywhere , Bends In an t .order. The house receives the order and ImmodlatelY ships the articles wanted. The farmer drlvos many miles to get them and when the box Is , opened It Is found to contain some. thing much below his expectations , but this does not satisfy his mind on the fact that he hIlS been duped and that he Is not getting his full money yaluc. In a second order he may be treated the same as the first. one , but .still h may think that he has saved money by buying It where he could , get It cheap. At the same tlmo the merchant n.t . home has the goods on the IIhelf In Ihls atore waiting for them to be taken , away that he can replace them with . ; n WBr cooda , - thereby keeping hla f. 8l ek fresh and up.to-date. If he haa ot the arUcle want _ d he can order It fairs , and he Is over on the go looldng to the Interests of the lJeople. The people IIlco to be entertained and they will come many miles to some amusement given by the mer. chants of the town where they are ever ready to go to sell their farm productB. The mercho.:1t cannot give these entertainments unless he has the support of the people and It Is not fair to expect this of the men that are striving for a llveIlhood , when the people - ple send their money to a concern In some far away city that will neither con'trlbute to any of these enterprises or take an Interest In the surround. Ings thereof. Homo trading makes home Indus. trIes , brings moro to the town and keeps them there , and It helps to build up the place. But the town will be at a stand-stili "So long as the people per. slst In thle way of robbing the homo merchants of the right to live and do business among thom , If the people will keep their money at home there will be no need for complaint. The place will assume a lively air , It wlIl take on a metropoll. tan loole , and the veople will say to their neIghbor that business Is good , and It will be , as long as the people continuo to trade In the home mar. kets. The least that a person can do toward the betterment of the com. munlty and hlB own Interests , Is to keep the money at homo and see to It that It Is put where It Is most needed anll wanted. This should be a vital quostlon to all concerned In the weUare of his community 3.nd It should be an estab. IIshed rule that one should not seel , tor things In other parts that he can i get at home. . . FENTON J. LAWLER. Origin of "Helpmeet. " "Helpmeet" has had a curious his. tory which began with the biblical account of the creation , when "the Lord God said , It Is 1I0t good that the man should be alone : I will make him an help meet for him. " That IB to say , a fit assistant. Bu the two wordB hove become ourlously combln. ed Into a "helvmect , " and they are constautJy used as one. Moreover , the confusion Is Increased by the cor. ruptlon of the words Into "help-mato , " and Macaulay writes of the waiting woman who was "genorally consider. ed as the most suitable help male for pa.ruon.

IOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES. The Evolved Product of Centuries of InventIon. The point of a needle is a very 1m. portant part of that useful lIttle Instrument - . strumont , and there are wany points. about needles calculated to Interest the general public. The dally can. sumptlon of needles all over the world Is something like 3,000,000 , while every year the women of the United States break , lese and use some 300 , . 000,000 of those tiny tools. Few peo. pIe v/hlle threading a needle have ever rlven a thought to the various pr < Kesses : through which the wlro must pass before it comes out a needle. Yet the manufacture of needles includes some 21 dU'forent processes from auttln ! : the wire and threadlnl : the double needles by the eyes to separating the two needles on the one lenlth of wire , heading , hard. enlnl : In oil , cleaning out the sides of the eye , point-settinG' , and final pol.
