egg?
Are you Fending your dollars to the

Are you putting your merchants out
of business, and creating a monopoly
that will pay you what It pleases for
the products of your farm?

fronts the rural towns and villages
of this country Is the competition of-
fered local enterprises by the cata-
logue houses of the large cities. It Is
a problem for which a solution must
be found if the prosperity and sta-
bility of the uation is to stand.
And the solution of th'i great prob-
lem lies in the han : of the people of
greets you. The prosperous com-
munity of which you are iiow a part
will fade line the summer flowers be-
fore the wluter winds, and almost as
quickly.
It is the fact that there Is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
m> n who maintain this local market
the towns and villages and the farms, for you are th« men who cause the
especially the farms.
The peoj le of the rural communities
have everything to lose and nothing
to gain by sending their money to
the catalogue houses, by passing by
their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
railroad trains to stop at your town
Take them away and soon the town
will bo wiped off the map. The
churches will close for lack of support.
The schools will cease to be a pride,
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right

ni unities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes in your town; the local mer-
chant doea. They do not build side-
walks In your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building of roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.

Seoate Calls Up Foraker Resolution
Alter Wi.ich it Take* a IUuij.
Until Monday.
Washington, I). C. — After two
wee La of vacation, the senate sat for
two and a half hours Tuursday 'and
then adjourned until Monday. The
session was devoted entirely to tho
further discussion of President Roose-
veil's order ui-inisslng tiie negrs
troops of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
for "shooting up" Brownsville, (Tex-
is). Senator Culberson of that stats
defended the order, bringing to Its
supports many points of legal con-
struction and justifying the actioi by
many quotations, in connection with
the affray. He closed with an Impas-
sioned statement of the position of
the south on the negro question,
which he declared to be the most vi-
tal and dangerous probing before tl.0
American people.
Senator Foraker replied briefly, ex-
pressing his Intense Interest In hav-
lug speedy action on his resolution
for an Investigation. Senator l.adge
proposed an amendment te this solu-
tion which has the effect of admitting
the President's authority as comman-
der-in-chief of the array to take the
action he did and of restricting the In-
vestigation to the occurrence In
Brownsville. On motion of Senator
Hale the resolution was given the
light of way Monday.

the greatest problem that now con
fronts this country.
Will you do it?
YANKEE IN DIAMOND FIELDS.
Give your town a chance by patronizing your local merchants and you
may confidently expect it* growth in business and population and a raise in
real estate valuation. Send your money to the catalogue houses and you may
look for the reverse. The picture tells the story of the possibilities.
They do not help to build school i stock of goods and go elsewhere, but
houses feir your children; the local you cannot rack up your farm and
merchant does. Thry do not assist in move It; your acres must lie in the
the support of your churches; the bed you have buiided for them whether
local merchant does. it be fair or foul, and it is "up to you
But there are some things the cata- Mr. Farmer, to spend your money at
logue heiuses do fe>r you and the home, and in this way you can solve
first and greatest of these is to assist
materially in bankrupting your com-
munity. The dollars they take away
never come back to you. They will
never help to make a city of your vil- ,
lage. They will never Increase the
value of your real-estate beddings by-
making local Improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer, for it Is the
farmer who Is the greatest patron of
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one, two or
three mile-s from his home Is his mar-
ket for the butter and eggs and other '
produce of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants of the teiwn, each .
anxious to obtain his full share of the
business of the community, maintain
a competition thrt affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products of his farm. It is these half
dozen merchants that mai;e farm
profits possible; the profits are In no
way due to the catalogue houses of
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars to the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set e>f harness, or a pair
of stockings, or any of the necessities
or luxuries of life*, and to ge*t the'in he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the well written description, and, pass-
ing the local merchant by, the mer-
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer-
chant who has helped to build the
community, he sends his dollars to
the catalogue house In the city and
takes what they choose to send him.
What Is the result?
On" after another the doors of the
local stores are closed, and where at
one time there were half a dozen mer-
chants. each bidding for his snare of
patronage by oil 'ilng ralr prices fur i
that which the farmer had to sell. I
there Is now but one merchtnt who
has a monopoly, not rnly of tho sell-
ing, but of the buying as well, and he
pays what he phrases for the [aimer's
P-odMfe.
The farmer ra-i ce>ntl:iue to send Ms

Commission* to Study a Country

Mr. Alfred Mosely is an Englishman
who admires American ways so much
that he sends commissions here to
study us.
Mr. Mosely does not admire us
without a reason. It is not a very
specific reason. Its name is Mr. Gard-
ner F. Williams, and It Is by way of
being an American mining engineer.
Mr. Williams directs the diamond out
put of the world.
Mr. Mosely made his fortune in
South Africa. Ho watched Cecil
Rhodes' dream of empire develop and
knew the men who made It real. Thi>
one who took his imagination was
Gardner Williams.
Here was a man who had left
Michigan at the age of 15 to go with
a pioneering father to California in
the flush days of the early mining
camps, had had a taste of California
mining, had gone when still a young
man to explore In South Africa and
had become a general manager of the
great monopoly of the diamond

ty one of the solellers on the ylfe of

Culberson read resolutions re-

LSoston which admitted that the sol-
diers "shot up the town'' and said
the "were determined to do for them-
selves what the uniform of their coun-
try would not do—protect them from
insul's and punish at the same time
the authors of their misery."
Mr. Culberson created merriment
by saying:
"I have nothing to ilo with the
president in this matter. 1 care
nothing about him. My personal re-
lations with him are about as cordial
as those of the senator from Ohio
(Foraker.)
He cemcluded his speech of an hour

that it is the most Important question
