SEWARD'S HOMEY HOTEL, WHERE THE OLDTIMERS
MEET
THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
Up through my window came the
city’s ceaseless din,
I just had paused a moment when
the evening mail came in—
A pile of business letters and the pa
pers with the news
Of wars and murders, fires, wrecks
—’most anything I’d choose.
I cast them one by one aside and
found beneath them all
A homely country paper, blurred with
ink and somewhat small,
That drew by full attention to its
columns up and down—
The little weekly paper that they
print in my home town.
This country paper always tells of
things in quiet tone;
It deals not with the outside world
but topics all its own;
It tells about the folks who visit in
and out of town;
That meat is soaring upward or that
eggs are going down;
That some old chum is married, or a
life-long friend has died;
The stork has paid a visit and two
hearts are swelled with pride.
This paper strikes a tender chord
when far away you roam,
For one is always glad to hear what’s
going on at home.

INDIAN GPRL MAY
NOT MARRY AT 12
YEARS, NEW RULING
SIMLA, India, Dec. 2. (JP)—A par
tial but much needed reform in re
gard to young Indian girls has just
passed the legislative assembly by 84
votes to 11. It raises the age of
consent from twelve to thirteen in the
case of marital relations, and to
fourteen in non-marital.
It was oly after a very bitter
debate that the bill was passed. On
the one side of the orthodox opposi
tion attacked the measure on the
into Indian ideas, while the reform
ground of bringing western influence
ers argued that the limit should be
icreased.
As a result the bill is a com
promise, but it represents a step in
the direction of progress.
HUGE CAMELS ROAMED
IN OREGON YEARS AGO
BEND, Ore., Dec. 1. (/P)—Buried
ages ago in the soft sands of the
great pleistocene lakes w'hich spread
over a considerable part of the south
central Oregon country, fossilized
bones of huge camels which lived
in this part of the world thousands
of years ago, have been found by
Dr. L. Packard, of the University
of Oregon geological faculty.
It is the belief of Dr. Packard, who
passed through Bend today with the
mineralized bones of the pre-his
toric camels on his way to Eugene,
that the newly found fossil locality
is rich in remnants of faunal life
which ranged on the shores of the
ancient lake. It is his opinion that
fossils of mammoth Strang birds
and many creatures now extinct,
will be found in this locality in the
Lakeview country.

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. '1 He puts forth
every effort to kola 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. If 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,
