billions more. Thus it caa be seen that
the farmer produces wealth greater
than taken from it by the miners for
its precious gems and minerals. There
Is co other foundation for the wealth
and business of the world other than
the land. Men cannot eat gold; the
coal is only useful to blm as a means
of utilizing what the earth grows;
there is nothing in the mineral world
that will tustala life or anything that
is necessary unless mortals eat drink
and wear clothes. When there Is
abundance of agricultural productions
there are prosperous times and a fam-
ine when the opposite occurs. The
whole financial fabric the entire com-
mercial system is dependent upon the
farmer and his work.
One billion dollars Is an Vnount be-
yond the comprehension of the aver-
age man. The life of an Individual is
not sufficiently long to count it cent
by cent should be work ten hours a
day from his tenth year until death.
This Is tbo average ralue of the corn
crop alone that the farmers of the
United States produce yearly.
One would believe that if only a
small portion of the yast wealth
which the fanners produce could be
only retained in the agricultural com-
munities there would be a class of
rich men greater than in any commer-
cial community. Yet statistics show
that for the amount of wealth yearly
produced the farmers are retainer of
only a small portion of it. The tend-
ency is toward concentration of
wealth in great financial centers. It la
In these places and by the control of
thl great weal'lCthal trusts are built
up and the machinery put In opera-
tion that systematically draws from
the agricultural sections the great
wealth produced. Farmers" can If they
will bring about a change by a sim-
ple adherence to the borne trade prin-
ciple; by patronage of local bnsiness
institutions Instead of the concerns in
the large cities. D. M. CAIIR.
FOR THE HOME TOWN.
Be a "booster" for your home town.
By patronizing other than local Insti-
tutions you are using a boomerang
that is likely to fly back and do yoti
Injury when yon least expect It. No
one can be an Ideal citizen and talk
and work against the Interests of his
homo town. So long as you are a resi-
dent of a community do your part
towards assisting It to greater
progress.
Those who are opposed to the evils
of capital concentration the builJhi?
up of trusts that work against the in-
terests of the masses should consider
the fact that any and every system
of business that depletes a section of
the country of the wealth it produces
strengthens the system of business
and financial concentration. One of
the niuat Laiitful sytems that at the
present Is working against the iuter-
ests of the Bmalier cities and towns
and is the greatest medium of drain-
ing wealth from agricultural communi-
ties Is the mnll-order plan of doln;
business. From some rural towns
from 40 to 50 per cent of the trade
goes to foreign ciiiiceiua If this trade
were confined to the home town its
business would be doubled employ-
ment given to twice as many people;
the profits accruing from mercantile
business would seek local Investment
and within a few years the population
of the town would be more than dou-
bled and ail living within the district
vould be benefited.
Kvery kind and class of goods have
a real value and this value Is based
upon the coat or the raw material thr
price of the labor in producing It ami
the cost of distribution. Whenever
there are big bargains offered In any
lino and goods offered "below valie"
be cartful and sea that you are nit
Iifl ai wtid.
While the farmer may receive a
dozen papers frow the large cities he
invariably reads his local paper. It
Is to the interest of the farmer as well
as the merchant that the latter use
Its columns freely to tell of the latest
prices goods frenhly received etc.
The farmer wants to buy and the
merchants want to sell and the farm-
er will buy when and where be can
save money. The merchant who lets
business go away from bis town
through lack of advertising rightly Is
Dot a very enterprising business man
It Is well to be en guard when deal-
ing with itlnerent agents sellers of
groceries carriages machinery pat-
ent rights etc. It Is a pretty good Idea
to never take grab hag chaace when
you wish to buy an article. fee what
you are purchasing before paying for
it (.::. i

sp'rei teas and coiTee from son-
c'.-it-order eer-frn ltb a view of get-
t.'ag cheap premiums that are offer-
d with each let of gools? There is
no economy in this method. Women
as well as men should remec.ber that
there Is never anything of value given
without an eouitabie compensation
and hen purchased on the club plan
the profits paid are generally enor-
mous. You car.not get something fur
noshing. If you desire to purchase
$10 or $20 worth cf groceries the best
place to buy them Is at some re-
sponsible grocery establishment in
your own town. You can see what
you are getting and you know that the
goods must be good or you can re-
turn them. When you gt a premium
with a lot of soaps or spices or ex-
tracts you will find that while the
goods may appear all right there is a
great chance cf fraud that you little
look for. The bars of soap will be
of light weight poorly dried made of
cheaper materials and would be dear
at your home store at half the price
that you are compelled to pay for
them. The spices will be half ground
bark and the extracts synthetic never
made from fruit flavors but out of the
dirty-looking cuai tar "a by-product of
gas-manufacturing and even the teas
and coffees will be of the poorest kind
and doctored up to look well. Then
how about the premiums? Yon will
find that they too are of the cheapest
class and could be purchased at the
local store for half what they are
represented to be worth. Women are
only doing their duty In trying to as-
sist their husbands but too often they
waste money by patronizing premium
and club concerns that operate from
distant cities la small towns and ru-
ral communities.
CRIES OF THE SIREN.
Alluring Promise Made in Exaggerat-
ed Advertisements to Gain Trad.
"Don't be robbed" "Save the profits
that your storekeeper makes" and
many like catch phrases Is the princi-
pal advertising stock of the concerns
who claim to sell at "wholesale"
prices direct to conmimers. Tbeir ar-
guments appeal to women and men
who have little knowledge of commer-
cial methods. It Is the appeal of self-
lshm8 that wins for the concerns
who seek business among the resi-
dents of farming districts rather than
any merit that the arguments present-
ed may have.
There can ba little doubt as to the
mail-order way cf doing bnsiness be-
ing a permanent fixture in the mercan-
tile world. The fact cannot be dis-
puted that In certain lines of goods
which are offered as "leaders" lower
pricey are quoted than like goods are
generally sold at In local stores. But
the average price on alt lines cannot
be lower character and quality con-
sidered than the same goods could be
sold at by the local merchant.
The business of the big mail order
concerns has been gained by extensive
advertising and continuous aggressive
work. It has been the apathy of the
merchants in the country towns that
has allowed these concerns to take
trade from "under their very noses."
Conditions thxt allow the steady drain
of money from the agricultural dis-
tricts and small towns to the big cities
are to be deplored. There cannot be
doubt as to the evils of the mail order
systems as a factor In the concentra-
tion of wealth in the great financial
centers and the resultant building up
of trusts. l'i r the pat quarter of a
crr.fnry the trii.it evil has been con-
stantly developing and keeping pace
with It la the mail-order system.
Jluch like the leprosy its progress is
such that the evil has & firm foothold
ere serious attention is paid to It. The
cry of "Save the dealers' pro3 ta" Is
synonymous with "Kill the industries
of your own town; help us bind the
trust ties firmer about your own
hands." Don't be a traitor to your
home town even thousta there Is a
promise of a small saving in cents and
dollais. Do yottr part to head off the
busineHS concentration evil.
FREE TREATMENT
A Method That Should Cure People f
th Habit of Patronizing Cuatk
Doctors.
It matters little how widespread
through the press Is the Information
as to frauds being operated in the
country there la always a fluid for the
p.-ople fcho live by petty graft One of
the latent plans to defraud has re-
cently been worked In a number of
western states. Strangers purporting
to be agents of a free hospital would
approach a farmer inquire as to bis
health and promise him free treat-
ment should he be ailing claiming
that the state medical department
would furnish the medicine free. A
lengthy statement of his complaint
would be written and lis signature
secured. I few week.t later a note
duly signed by the farmer wmild be
presented to b(m by hH home tank.
This appears to be a filmy scheme
but nevertheless more thnn a score of
f.u tiiets In one Minnesota county were
caught for from $.) to $t)0 fach.
Don't Birn any contract or statement

M.uh to their surprise they have
found that about a sixth of the coun-
try Is so rich in soil and stands so
high above the sea that white men
may engage in manual labor there the
year around.
The regions that invite white col-
onization are distributed in large and
small area3 among the Usambara
Ejountaina near the sea; on the vast
tilth plain soui-h and west of Mount
Kilimanjaro; in the mountains and
rich valleys of Uhehe to the south-
west; on the high tablelands of Urun-
di and Ruanda near the Congo Free
State and in other districts. Already
about 2000 peasants from Germany
and the Transvaal have settled there!
though It was only last .year that Ger-
many got ready to admit colonists.
In some places there are only two
or three settlers while In other re-
gions there are scores of families. It
is still an untamed wilderness and
Germany holds out no glittering In-
ducements. In the circular of the colonial gov-
vernment last year colonists were told
that they would be accepted only if
they were well strong and temperate.
They must be prepared to endure
bravely the privations Inseparable
from pioneer life. There was little
prospect of acquiring wealth but the
diligent man could make a home for
himself and his family and become in-
dependent The great regions of Urundl and
Ruanda the most populous parts of
German East Africa about S00 miles
from the Indian ocean are not yet
open to eettlement as orderly rela-
tions with the natives are not yet fully
established. These are the only re-
gions adapted for white occupancy
that are not yet accessible to colon-
ists. The government will ultimately sell
the land but at present It is leased
to settlers for a few cents an acre. As
eoon as the settler has one-tenth of his
holding under cultivation or otherwise
devoted to useful purposes he Is en-
titled to purchase twice as much
land as he has Improved at about 10
or 20 cents an acre.
The government requires all settlers
to bring at least $300 into the cout-

settlers are actually raising wheat as
fine as any land produces.
Wheat is destined to be a great
crop 800 miles inland in the region
of the central African lakes. The first
crop sown oa the second plowing of
the land yielded about 40 bushels to
the acre the only trouble being that
it ripened in patches so that a whole
field could not be cut at once.
European vegetables grow finely
small fruits do well and cotton and
tobacco are an assured success. Mil-
lions of coffee trees have been planted
tobacco and sugar cane thrive and-
sisal hemp introduced from Yucatan
on the government experimental
farm several years Is already an im-
portant export.
The white settlers all over German
East Africa are loudly protesting
against the tardy development of the
railroad system planned several year
ago. Letters from colonists oa Vic-
toria Nyanza say It is a disgrace to
the German flag that tiey have to
send their products to the sea by the
Eritiah steamers and railroad.
These protests are producing some
effect and there are signs that rail-
road building will soon be pushed
with some degree of vigor.
Gen. Iiooth is decidedly In favor of
large families. With otie or two chil-
dren he said the parents always In-
dulge them and such Isirigence cre-
ates recklessness.

children. He condemned old a?e pen-
