WHY MAIL ORDER
HOUSES DO SO WELL.
People often wonder why so much
business goes away to mail order
houses but do not realize that those
concerns are all the time keeping af-
ter trade. There are probably but few
families in this entire section where
there are not expensive catalogues
from three or four mail order houses.
If more local merchants would take
greater pains in advertising their
goods and prices which compare in
most cases with city concerns, much
of the money that goes abroad could
be kept in the community. Many home
merchants try a few dollars worth of
advertising in the local papers and
then say “It. is no good.” It is the
live merchant who constantly keeps
his goods and attractive prices before
the public, who succeeds. Where
would all of the big stores of the
country be if they did not always ad-
vertise and the smaller stores are in

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE
i CHRISTIAN MARTYRS.
The civilized countries of the earth,
whether at war or in peace, should
rise up as one great nation and Jim-
mediately put an end to the Armenian
massacres, before a harmless inof-
fensive Christian people are entirely
destroyed. Germany now allied with
Turkey, to her lasting shame, could
put an end to the horrible slaughter,
but seems to be perfectly indifferent
that she is abetting the worst massa-
cre of Christian martyrs known in the
world’s history.
Many of the victims are given a
chance to swear allegiance to Moham-
med instead of Christ but in most
cases the poor persecuted ones re-
main faithful and are put to death in
all the ways human bestiality can de-
vise. Surely the blood of such will
bring a terrible doom to Turkey,
long a disgrace to this century of the
world’s history.
HUNTING TIME
‘The toiling and the sweating of the
Summer's at an end;
‘The swell gazooks have all vamoosed
in town their time to spend.
There's a look of expectation on the
rural hunter's phiz,
As shotguns boom and thunder and
rifie bullets whizz!
‘The trolling and the angling and the
gigging all are past.
Soon in snowdrifts we’ll wallow piled
up by Winter's blast.
But now the woods are lively; the
trees are bright and gay;
The mast is lying on the ground; the
partridge works all day.
The grey squirrel swipes the far-
mer’s corn—the good for noth-
ing bub!
But, just the same, we're glad he’s
here, for hunting time has come.
The dogs keep up a yowling. They
know full well what's what,
When, coming home from trailing,
they smell what’s in. the pot.
There’s coon tracks on the sand bars,
in the mud along the streams,
And here and there are other tracks,
that waken golden dreams.
There’s rabbit hair in hollow trees;
there’s rings around the sun— |
Which show us all that Summer’s o’er,
and bunting time has come!

Confluence’s citizens are wrought
up over the enforcement of a curfew
| ordinance. Upon advice of counsel,
Burgess Phillippi refuses to enforce
the ordinance because it requires the
municipal authorities to ring a bell
at a certain hour, for which n¢ pro-
vision has been made. Instead of a
bell, a whistle was blown, but in legal
circles it is held that the provisions
of an ordinance must be complied
with by the authorities before the or-
| dinance can be enforced. Sixty-three
voters asked council to repeal the
i ordinance, but council has refused to
|do that.
