If you were the ow/y person in town that traded with
mail order concerns—it would hurt some—but it wouldn't paralyze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence your out
of-town-trading exerted over others. Other people might follow in your
foot-steps of foreign trading and that following would prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. Take pride in
your community. Feel that money spent here at home is playing an
important part in building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
you want and goes towards some public good. That it helps increase the
efficiency of schools—puts down better street crossings—erects better
libraries—brightens the town’s lights—makes the parks more attractive—pays
for better police protection, etc.
Instead of fostering the mail order habit—fight it openly.
Teach the truth of home trading. Preach home patronage. Show mail
order buyers the error of their ways—and go out cf your way to do it.
Local merchants handle the highest grade merchan
dise. They carry advertised brands. They sell at a proper
price—makes of goods that bear the stamp of honest manufacturers.
They deal open-handedly. They don’t cover up questionable quality
with private labels. They offer you the latest and most dependable
lines—in all lines of merchandise. Their stores are conveniently at hand. You
can reach them in a few short seconds—over the phone—or step right into their
places of business—give or leave your order—and have the goods delivered
straight to your home—all in a few minutes time.
They willingly accommodate you. They take particular
pains to give you just what you want right when you want it. You
don’t have to buy in big quantities to save freight or express charges. You can
spend less at a time—and save considerable sums in cash, to say nothing of the
great saving of time and trouble.
Advocate those advantages. Do mail order traders a
good turn by turning them away from away-from-home buying—liven
up local business, and by so doing speed the town along the road of progress.
Spend your money where it will in turn be spent for
local improvements instead of sending it away to fatten business and
better conditions of other communities. Support the community that supports you.

Filipinos in Hawaii Show
Thrift and Prosperity
(By Associated Press)
HONOLULU, Jan. 28.—The indus
trial and finnacial progress of Fili
pinos in Hawaii has reached the point
where the establishment here of a
bank with capitalization of $100,000
by Filipinos seems advisable, asserts
ayetano Ligot, Philippines resident
labor commissioner, in his first an
nual report to Governor General Leo
nard Wood.
Commissioner Ligot declares that
the method of paying Filipinos on Ha
waiian plantations is equiptable, that
living conditions on the whole are
good, managers are showing a spirit
of fairness to employes, and the Fili
pinos can save and are saving con
siderable sums each month. Be
tween $600,000 and $800,000 is sent
back to the Philippines anually by
laborers here, and other large sums
are held in Hawaii as further sav
ings.

of John Hays Hammond, famous min

make a mistake in trying to pick
husbands for their daughters.
Irish People May Ballot
on Question of Prohibition
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Jan. 28.—A clash between
the Dail Eirann and the Irish Free
State Senate over a special provision
of the government’s liquor traffic
control law, is leading various tem
perance organizations to consider in
sisting upon a referendum to the peo
ple. Such a step is possible because
the Free State constitution gives the
people the right of referendum in in
itiating and recalling legislation.
The trouble arose over a clause
providing that shops which sell liquor
shall sell nothing else on the same
premises. The Dail defeated the
clause by a substantial majority, thus
permitting continuance of the prac
tice, more or less general in Ireland
of having liquor sold at general stores
which also sell food, clothing, agri
cultural implements and sometimes
immigration tickets.
Shopkeepers declared the cost of
alterations all over the country would
be about twenty-five million dollars,
but the “dries” declared that the
“wets” controlled the Dail. Later,
however, the Senate reinstated the
clause and, although this body has no
real powers, its action in opposing
the Dail is serving to hold up the
bill for a legal period of 270 days.
Turks never take Turkish baths,
Ireland does not eat Irish stew, there
is no rice in rice paper; camel’s hair
brushes are made from squirrel fur;
sealing wax contains no wax; catgut
fiddle strings come from sheep, and
there is not so much in a name after
all.

FOSSILIZED BONES
FOUND IN THE BUSY
STREETS OF LONDON
LONDON, Jan. 28.—A collection of
fossil bones, unearthed in a stratum
of sand and gravel 80 feet below the
surface soil during recent exacavation
of an office building foundation near
Charing Cross, one of the busy traffic
centers in London, has been; identified
by Sir Arthur Keith and R. H. Burne,
prominent scientists, as containing the
fossilized remains of the hippopota
mus. the mammoth, the auroch or
great ox, and of a great antlered va
riety of red deer.
Although no stone implements have
been found on this site, these have
been found at nearby places during
the past excavations and have indi
cated that the prehistoric animals had
man as their companion. The ter
races from which the fossils have been
taken and on which a part of London
is built, are ancient beds of the River
Thames.
The recently unearthed collection
has been presented to the Royal Col- j
lege of Surgeons.

cles it is only necessary to read the
names of the contestants including
numerous baronesses with hyphenat
ed names, marquises and countesses,
not to mention many men who are
famous in the Italian literary world.
