The greatest injury would be in the influence your OUt

foot-steps of foreign trading and that following iconic! prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. Take pride m

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 of 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 £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,

!t’s An 111 Wind, Harriot’s
Chauffeur Might Have Said
PARIS, Feb. 30.—The recent ill
ness of Premier Herriot gave Julien,
the regular accredited chauffeur to
the foreign office, his first opportun
ity in three years to enjoy a vaca
tion.
Julien has acted as chauffeur for
Premiers Briand, Poincare and Her
riott.
His job with Premier Briand was
the easiest, Julien volunteers. M.
Briand never called upon Julien to
do any extra work, dismissing him
regularly about 7 in the evenings, ex
cepting during inter-allied confer
ences.
Julien, while appreciating the cool
and correct man that Premier Poin
care always was with him, finds his
work with Herriott much more agree
able.
“A tireless worker and very hard
driver for himself,” Julien said, “M.
Poincrae did not appear to realize
the amount of work he was imposing
upon those near him. Finishing my
day’s work about 9 or 10 in the
evening, I had to be on the job at 7
the next morning. With Herriott, it
is different. Many times he has dis
missed me before dinner, saying,
‘Good-bye, Julien, I will return in a
taxi’.”
Recently on one of these occasions
the premier, returning in a taxi to
the ministry, was surprised when the
taxi-driver stubbornly refused to ac
cept the price of the trip.
“Just shake hands with me, Mon
sieur le President,” the taxi driver
asked. M. Herriott did and with the
other hand he extended to the de
lighted chauffeur a black cigar.
Y. M, C, A: WILL
WELCOME MEN
CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 9—A mid-win
ter school of the prophets, which will
open annually on Christmas eve on
the Fields of the Shephreds and close
on the orthodox Easter Sunday morn
ing in the Church of Resurrection, is
one of the features planned in the cur
ricula of the Jerusalem Y. M. C. A.
which is to have its home on a hill
overlooking Jaffa Gate, one of the ro
mantic spots of that country.
While all the fund needed to build
the “Y” has not been obtained, suffi
cient was raised here at Christmas
time to assure the enterprise, accord
ing to Dr. A. C. Harte, in charge of
the work of the International Commit
tee in Jerusalem, who has just return
ed to Palestine. Dr. Harte describes
the new “Y” as a “temple of friend
ship for the forwarding of peace and
good will among men.” lie believes
that such a building in the land of the
Bible can be made a mecca for Bible
studnets and scolars of all nations.
“For Jerusalem the “Y” building
will provide for the fourfold program
| of activities which is the result of al
most a century of Y. M. C. A. experi
ence,” Dr. Harte said before leaving.
“For Bible lands we plan to provide
a training school for Christian work
ers, physical directors and playfield
supervisors. For the religious world
j there will be a midwinter school of
the prophets. The object of this in
stitution will be to bring to clergy
men, missionaries and Bible teachers
of all lands the greatest aid to under
standing the Bible by giving them fa
j miliarity with the country and its cus
toms and manners.”
LOVERS OF ANIMALS UNITE
O ABOLISH CRUEL TRAPS
—
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—A three
year campaign before state legislatures
with the backing of prominent human
| itarians and humane workers, is about
to be launched for the suppression of
the steel trap and other non-killing
devices for capture of fur-bearing
animals.
The American Humane Association
heads the list of organizers support
ing the movement and Mrs. Minnie
Maddern Fiske heads the list of indi
vidual workers, who will lend their
support. Commander Edward Breck
of the naval reserves, a historian and
| woodsman, will direct the campaign,
announcement of which recently was
made before the Humane Education
Society of Washington.
Outlining the work, Commander
Breck told the society that while 100
000,000 fur-bearing animals were tak
en yearly in steel traps and suffered
days and sometimes weeks of agony,
not ten percent of those taken were
required to furnish furs for the act
ual needs of human beings in cold
weather. The history of the fur trade
in America, he said, testified that the
craze for summer furs increased the
killing fourfold. Public conscience,
when aroused, the speaker declared,
would demand the abolition of the
non-killing trap.
