If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money.
By ail means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars*

Sixty Million Dollar
Depot for Windy City
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—A new epoch
in railway terminal development will
mark the opening of the sixty-million
dollar Chicago Union Station on or
about February 15.
Spreading out over a larger and
larger area, the gray-limestone term
| inal has continued to growr until, in
jits massive style of architecture, it
resembles an imposing temple of an
tiquity. From atop the bridges span
ning the Chicago River it stands out
like a new city.
When the completed terminal swings
open under auspicious ceremonies,
the terminal building will be quick
ly demolished. The whole transfor
mation, including all work on the
new terminal, will have been carried
out without interference wth a single
train. This is just one phase of the
unusual engineering skill.
Three baseball diamonds could be
laid out upon the great floor of the
main waiting room. The concourse
building will have a fifteen-acre roof
of glass, extending 1,400 feet beyond
! the main structure, to form the train
[shed. Steel umbrella train sheds, ex
tending over several blocks, are al
most finished. Several months ago
most of the exterior, made of blocks
from Indiana’s quarries, had been vir
tually completed.
Parts of the terminal are now in
operation, and other sections are be
ing put into use as rapidly as possi
ble. It had been hoped io climax
the ten-year undertaking by opening
the station Christmas day as a “Santa
Claus gift to the city.” But the date
was found to be p:: * nature.

CROY’S NEW NOVEL
PORTRAYS LIFE ON
R. F. D. MAIL ROUTE
JOSIE HAS TROUBLE
LATE BOOK BY PROMINENT AU
THOR SHOWS GRINDING DE
TAILS OF FARM LIFE—HEROINE
DIFFERENT FROM FARM GIRLS
NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (United Press)
So many realistic Lochinvars have
come riding out of the West on liter
ary chargers that this middle ground
of the United States has almost sup
planted Russia as a hotbed of real
ism.
Homer Croy’s new novel, “R. F. D.
No. Three,” is a story of farm life
from which none of the grinding, suf
focating, burdening details have been
omitted. But against this background
gleams the figure of the heroine,—
Josie Decker, whose mother, a city wo
man, had worked to the end that Josie
should be saved from the routine that
had dulled her life.
And Josie, young and beautiful,
adapted herself to all these easements
from drudgery. But Josie had “ad
vantages.” As result she was asked
to do an interpretative dance at the
unveiling of the soldiers’ monument
at Junction City. That led to her en
tering a beauty contest. The effect of
all this, the promise of a movie en
gagement if she won—her absorption
in movie literature, and movie dreams,
is vividly portrayed in the workaday
setting of rural life.
To those who do not understand
this middlewest farm life with its
near-by town influence, Josie's psy
chology may seem strange. But Ho
mer Croy has done a faithful, almost
photographic delineation of character
and background. Her one desire is to
escape from this farm life, symbol
ized by R. F. D. No. Three.” She jilts
her rural farmer sweetheart when she
is stirred by dreams of a movie fu
ture.
She next meets a flashy young
salesman, Floyd Krock, who with his
city talk, inspires her dreams with
1 a more definite purpose. The villain
of the book apparently is Bush High
bee, the richest man in the country.
He is in love with Josie and jealous
of Floyd. A fistic battle at the coun
ty fair prompts Josie to elope with
Floyd.
And here Homer Croy falls beneath
the sway of ail obvious complex. For
some reason or other, the heroine
having proved herself just plain dumb
about delaying her marriage, chooses
the home circle to adveritse what is
commonly known as “her disgrace.”
Floyd proves to be a thief, is arrested,
and Josie goes back home. So far so
bad. But she proceeds to stay there
and tell of the illegitimacy of a com
ing child accumulating plenty of scan
dal to fill all the local gossips for
time to come.
Just why Mr. Croy insists on this
conduct which he inaugurated in his
book, “Just West of the Water Tow
er”—thereby lowering the quality of
an otherwise excellent book—is baf
fling. One girl might do that sort of
thing, but it is beyond credence that
two would. Let’s hope he does bet
ter with his next heroine.
At any rate Josie is saved from in
tolerable gossip by her marriage to
Hush Highbee with his many ducats,
j She had previously loathed this man,
reeking of the soil, whose first wife
died of overwork in building up his
fortune. But Bush had lost an arm
through an accident due to Josie. He
also lost his pigs through her carry
ing cholera to his farm. Still he loved
her, germs and all, and all things
considered there was nothing else for
her to do but marry him.
The characterizations and local col
or of the book are excellent, if you
were raised on a farm.
