If you were the wfy person in town that traded with
mail order concerns—it would hurt some—but it wouldn't paralyze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence your out
of-town-trading exerted ever others. Other people might follow in your
foot-steps of foreign trading and that following would prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. Take pride in
your community. Feel that money spent here at home is playing an
important part in building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
you want and goes towards some public good. That it helps increase the
efficiency of schools—puts down better street crossings—erects better
libraries—brightens the town’s lights—makes the parks more attractive—pays
for better police protection, etc.
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 cf 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 heme—all in a few minutes time.
They willingly accommodate you. They take particular
pains to give you just what you v/ant 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 cf communities. Support the community that supports you.

j BERLIN, Jan, 27.—The city tax of
fice has unwittingly devised a conven
! ient way of enabling dog owners to get
’ rid of undesirable canines and of es
caping the payment of the dog tax. A
!decree has been issued by the magis
trate that dogs for which the tax has
not been paid shall be “pawned” and
later sold at auction.
The procedure follows: If an own
er is in arrears with his dog tax and
[declines to pay up, a ticket is affixed
to the dog’s collar to the effect that
:he has been “pawned” by the city.
The owner no longer has the right to
dispose of the canine at will. As
soon as a number of tax delinquents
have been rounded up—enough to
make it worth while—a public auction
of the dogs takes place. The lowest
bid at which the tax official will give
up a dog is one equal to the dog tax in
arrears. If nobody offers the amount
of the tax or more, the city buys the
dog and reimburses the tax depart
ment from '-necial fund. The dog
is then takv a kennel in the sub
urd of Lankwitz, where a veterinary
surgeon kills him.
As the clogs which are thus put up
for auction are almost invariably any
thing but thoroughbreds, and are con
sidered a good riddance by the owners
the city must in nine cases; out of ten
take money out of one drawer and put
it into the next to acquire these doubt
ful possessions.
PIGEON ISlERO
OF WORLD WAR
TOURS, France, Jan. 27.—A hero of
the war, cited in an order of the army
and decorated for exceptional bravery
and gallantry at Verdun, has just died
of old age. He was ten years old.
His name was carrier Pigeon No.
183-14 A. F. and attached to one of
his legs he proudly wore a ring, equiv
alent to the Medaille Militaire, award
ed to him in June, 1916, with the fol
lowing citation:
“On three different occasions, during
the battle of Verdun, under heavy fire
ensured the rapid transport of very
important messages. In particular car
ried to headquarters the communica
tions of Major Raynal, defender of Ft.
Vaux on June 3,1916, at a time when
the major’s troops, completely sur
rounded, were deprived of any other
means of communication. The flights
were done under most unfavorable at
mospheric conditions.”
Since the Armistice the pigeon had
been kept as an honored guest in the
army dovecots.
Practical tests looking to develop
ment of power from the geysers of
Sonoma county, California, are being
made by scientists of the Carnegie
institution. Volcanic heat as sources
of power have been successfully de
veloped in Italy, and there is no doubt
t:. American volcanoes may be used
in a like manner.

PARTS, Jan. 27.—American divorce
grants in Paris courts during 1922
numbered 143 out of a total of 7,064.
While the percentage of American di
vorces as regards the total number
seems relatively small, it is much more
important when one considers that all
the divorces obtained by other foreign
ers of all nationalities during 1923
amounted to only 151.
No special legislation governs the
issuing of divorces to American citi
zens in France and none is in course
of preparation.
After the McAdoo-Huger divorce
in 1923, which caused some criticism,
it being claimed that the existing laws
had not been observed, the then Pre
mier Poincare ordered an investiga
tion to be made at the court house,
“into the facility with which divorces
were granted to Americans in France.
The inquiry proved that both Me
Adoo and Huger had legal domiciles in
France and that a duly registered cer
tificate thereof had been filed.
The present legislation in France
provides that in the applications for
citizens, the laws of the various states
in which they live in the United
States shall apply.

LONDON, January 27.—To relieve
the traffic congestion in London, plans
have been made for the construction
of a dock and tunnel under the River
Thames at a cost of over thirty mil
lion dollars. The tunnel would be
constructed at Dartford, which would
divert a great amount of road traffic
from the south to the north of England
at present passing through London’s
narrow streets.

(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Jan. 27.—Discussing the
revision of the emigration quota of
the United States to be made two
years hence, Irish papers point out
that the first effect of the act of 1924
has been very favorable to Ireland,
Great Britain’s quota being 34,007 and
and the Free States’ 28.507. It is sup
posed, however, that the “national ori
gins” amendment may seriously modi
fy these figures, and the estimates of
Captain Trevor of New York, are cited
for the conclusion that the British
quota in 1927 will leap to 83,316, while
that of the Free State will fall to only
8,000.
The “Irish Times” says: “So long
as any uncertainty exists there is like
ly to be a formidable exodus from the
2G counties of persons anxious to go
to the United States while the going
is good.”
