In the long run more of your
money will come back to you if you
spend it at home than if you send it
to Chicago or some other large city.
You spend a dollar with Smith, up
the street. Smith spends it with
Brown, aroind the corner. Brown
is just as likely to spend it with you
as with anybody else. Did you ever
think of that?
All of us liave to spend money. There is an art in
spending it where it will do the most, good. If gjient so
that it will circulate around this town and community, it
will help tins town and community'. Von belong to this

that good logic ?

—Waukomis Hornet,
And that is about the slimmest
argument ever advanced. We
never could see where booze
helped business except the busi-
ness of the saloons, breweries
and distilleries. Every dollar
spent for booze takes that much
money from legitimate channels
of trade. Every man who be-
comes a physical, moral and
mental wreck through its use be-
comes a burden on his communi-
ty and makes [one wealth-produc-
er less. If a man sells a bale of
cotton for $50 and spends $15 of
it to get drunk on and another
$15 to pay his fine and costs he
has only $20 left to spend for
clothing and groceries. We
don’t see where the grocer, the

candle stick maker comes in on
