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.
m
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 conies 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.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars*

TO THE VOTERS OF SEWARD
There seems to a general impression
that the coming bond election is a
final and bona fide election for the
issuance of bonds for building a school
house.
It really is a referendum vote to
get the opinion of the taxpayers and
| voters of Seward as to the advisabil
ity of asking Congress at this time
for authority to issue bonds. Should
the election carry then the mayor
and city council will request our del
egate to introduce a bill in Congress
authorizing the town of Seward to is
sue bonds not to exceed $100,000. It
will then become necessary to hold
another election to legally determine
the amount and validity of the issue
before the town can be bonded.
So why worry about taxes and
meeting our obligations? At this
time it is somewhat previous.
The necessity for better school fa
cilities is beyond all argument and,
I believe, universally admitted.
The amount, as indicated above, is
left definitetly for future decision.
However to have a concrete propo
sition the city council decided to set
the amount not to exceed $100,000.
Should the proposition carry and
congress grant us permission, the city
council will undoubtedly place sev
eral propositions before the people
and it will be up to the taxpayers tak
ing future conditions into considera
tion to decide whether they need a
§10,000 or a $100,000 school house.
Your city council deemed it advis
able to place the matter before you at
this time for the following reasons:
This Congress is what is known as
a short term, expiring by law on
March 4. There will most likely be
no extra session of Congress and the
regular session with the newly elect
ed members will not meet until the
first Monday in December. Should
any of the fond hopes and dreams
that we have cherished for our term
for 20 years become true; should a
cold storage plant or the pulp mill, or
any other large increase in our popu
lation occur without this authority
obtained at this time, it would be im
possible to get proper school facili
ties in les^ than two years. Should
the voters of Seward vote to author
ize the mayor and council to ask
Congress for permission to issue
bonds, and should Congress grant us
that right, we can start building a
schoolhouse within thirty days after
the people decide if necessary.
Preparedness is the keystone of
success. The public school is the
keystone of our national life.
Vote for the Keystone!
JOS. HOFMAN.
PROPOSED BOOST
IN SECOND CLASS
MAIL RATE FOUGHT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13 —
.Protesting against increases in sec
ond class mail rates provided in the
administration measure designed to
meet salary increases of postal em
ployes, representatives of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers’ associa
tion proposed to a joint congressional
postoffice committee today that they
be permitted to draft a rate scale to
cover the cost of their use of the
postal service.
The publishers entered vigorous
objection to the haste with which
they contended congress was treat
ing a problem important alike to the
newspapers and the public. They
said insufficient time had been given
for the study of the cost ascertain
ment report of the postoffice depart
ment, on which the proposed rate
increases are based, and that if giv
en time they would draft a schedule,
which, in their judgment, would
more nearly meet the equities.
While individual members ex
pressed interest in the publishers’
