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 % 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
r
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 all 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.

i PRESERVATION OF
WHITE RACE GIVEN
AS CAUSE OF WAR
(By Associated Press)
RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 13.—If the
result of the war between the states
meant the preservation of the white
race, then there was no “lost cause,”
declared Franklin L. Riley of Wash
ington and Lee university, who pre
sided at the afternoon session of the
thirty-ninth annual session of the
American Historical association, which
convened here recently.
The meeting was devoted to a
discussion* of the general subject,
“The Confederacy, its Leaders and
its Problems; a Resurvey.”
“Secession was lost,” Mr. Riley
said, “but secession was not the
cause of the south.
“Slavery was lost, but slaver^ was
not the cause, though we once
thought so, believing that the free
dom of the negro would mean the
downfall of the white man’s suprem
acy and integrity.”
That, the speaker declared, was
what the south fought for the pre
servation of the white race. If, in
the ultimate consummation of that
great struggle between sister states,
that purpose was accomplished, then
the cause of the south was not lost,
but won.
nl opening the discussion, Mr.
Riley said that the “resurvey” was
planned without fear or arousing
animosity and feelings of sectional
ism.
Other speakers also addressed the
meeting which was attended by more
than 500 visiting historians, many
of them prominent in this country
and abroad.
Sessions of the gathering will con
tinue through next Wednesday. »

FOUR GENERATIONS OF WOMEN
HAIL STEPHEN AS ALMA MATER
COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 13.—When
Miss Clara Beardslee, of Webster
Groves, Mo., registered at Stephen
college here she achieved the dis
tinction of following in the footsteps
! of her mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother. Her great-grand
mother, whose maiden name was
Mary Frances Boling, graduated from
the school in 1852. It was known
then as the Columbia Academy. Af
ter Miss Boling’s marriage, her daugh
ter also became a graduate of the
college, and in turn sent her child
ren to the school. \
Miss Beardslee’s mother, Mrs. F.
D. Beardslee, on a recent visit here,
recalled the strict discipline which
prevailed on the campus in the old
days. The girl students In those
days wore a uniform consisting in
winter of blue merin£> or delaine
dresses and sun bonnets with blue
trimmings, and in summer blue
gingham or muslin dresses, and
white ruffled sun bonnets with blue
trimmings.
"Whenever Stephens girls left the
campus in the old days," Mrs.
Beardslee said, “they wore the four
cornered mortar-boards on their
heads. Once a week the girls went
shopping with a chaperon. For ex
ercise the girls went walking,
marching in columns of twos with
a faculty member heading the col
umn and another one bringing up
!be rear. On the fourth Monday of
ench merit*, Lom 2 to 4 in the after
noon, the girls were allowed to re
ceive visits from friends.”

EDUCATION ATTACKED
(By Associated Press)

tendency toward standardization in I
education and the inclination of teach- j
ers to disregard individual differences
of pupils was characterized as the
great weakness of the American pub- j
lie school system by Thomas W. But- (
cher, president of the Kansas State
Teachers’ college, in addresses to the
members of the Oregon State Teach
ers’ association here the other day.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Editor Gateway: What was Presi

PROBABLE JAP ENVOV TO THE
UNITED STATES
Tsuneo Matsudaira, Vive Minister
of Foreign Affairs in Japan, who is *
being considered the most likely one
tc be the new Japanese / mbar-sador
to the United States. Due to his
knowledge of international affairs, it
is figured that his appointment will
go tar in Japan’s effort to cement
friendship with the United States,
and cooperate with America in Asia.
What caused a wave of good feeling
was the sending of the new American
Ambassador, Mr. Bancroft, to Japan,
and Japan looks upon this move as
a real friendly act.
