It can first of all, stlmulato tho merchant himself to good business methods, good ad vertising, tho carrying of an ade quate stock and of Its proper dis play and placing. Mall order buy ing has made progress In many com munities because tho merchants themselves have done little to turn tho public mind to their stores and little to hold trade onco secured. The battle for business must be fought out on its merits. People will 'buy at home when they can buy Just as cheaply as somewhero else, provided they are convinced of tho fact by good adverlslng, good sales manship and good goods. All things being equal, there Is a tendency to buy at homo because It Is more con venient. The mall order houses will overcome this tendency chiefly by better advertising. Tho merchant Is, of course, confronted by the competi tion of unfair advertising which overstates the quality of tho goods and understates the price by failure to take Into consideration freight cost, delay and lack of credit con-' venlences. To offset this, somebody must make the public acquainted with tlln fnpfa nnil pnWnlnlv n hnnr1 "Somothing very wonderful, but I'm ! of tra1(,e ,coul11 do th's better in an , ultitlulUU Wily LUUIl U1U 1UU1V1UUUI retailer can In an Individual capacity.

Corner of Main & 1 0th street Watch US Grow COUNTY CHAIRMAN'S LEAGUE BEGIN FIGHT Ileports of Chairman of Republican Party From All Counties Show Iteniarkalilo Oains by tlio Regulars. Tho new County Chairman's League, which is to tako up the fight In Pennsylvania, under the direction of a sub-commltteo of five, that will work In conjunction with Congress man J. Hampton Moore, Chairman of the National Republican Congress ional committee of Pennsylvania, took possession of the headquarters provided for them 'by Chairman Moore last week. It was a notable fact that a large majority of these chairmen are young men. Several of them are in their twenties. Many are in their thirties. They are enthusiastic and believe thoroughly In the political doctrines of the Republican party. Chairman Moore was In executive session with the sub-committee, last week, for more than an hour and he agreed to do anything within his power to assist the league by advise, co-operation and the distribution of supplies, in its fight for the Repub lican ticket throughout Pennsylvan ia. The reports of tho chairman on tho situation in their respective counties constitute the most authoritative and interesting review of the campaign to date. United States Marshal, E. H. Por ter, of Pittsburg, who Is acting chairman of the Beaver county com mittee, was most scathing In his de nunciation of the Bull Moose move ment In the 24th district, which he said Is controlled entirely by the old Quay leaders and saloon bosses. "In a sermon last Sunday," said Marshall Porter, the Rev. C. M. Lip plncott, of tho Methodist Protestant church In our town, preached a ser mon on the Armageddon soldiers thereabouts, in which he said that if they ever got Into power ho was "afraid the Lord would have to look after his own Interests." "Our Bull Mooso County Conven tion was organized by Lawrence Se brlng and James Cunningham, who are avowed non-believers. They opened the meeting with prayer, sang 'Onward Christian Soldiers,' nominated two preachers, closed with the benediction and then went out and laughed about it. "This man, Sebrlng, said to mo the other day that he prided himself upon being a character assassin. "That's tho kind of Washington party leaders we havo up in Beaver. You may mention names and quote me. I stand for everything I say. "Beaver county Is good for the whole Republican ticket from top to bottom. We have the finest marching club thero in the State of Pennsylvania." County Chairman C. II. Young, of Newcastle, and C. E. Carothers, of Washington, assured Congressman Moore, that tho twenty-fourth dis trict, comprising Washington, Law rence and Beaver counties, was safe for Congressman aiatthews and the full Republican ticket. "We havo both a Democratic and a Washington party candidate against him," said Mr. Young, "but when you remember that these sarao peoplo wore refused two years ago and that Mr. Matthews carried tho district by a substantial majority, you can see why wo are confident of carrying it by a larger majority now that they aro divided. "Free trade doesn't mako any hit at all In Lawrence county, hocauso wo havo tho largest tin mill in tho world thoro. and two others that aro very Important. Tho two mills In my own town employ 4,000 men, and In addition to that thero wore four hlast furnaces started specially to supply their needs, which employ 2,000 men. "It Is a well known fact that this growing Industry which now em ployes a total of 17,000 men the year round, paying $10,000,000 a year In wages, was made possible by tho Mc Kinloy bill of 1891, which Increased tho protective duty on tlnplates from ono cent to two and two-tenths cents a pound. Prior to that tlrao wo Im ported 331,311 tons of tlnplate and produced nono. In 1912 wo produc ed 800,000 tons of tlnplato and pro duced none, in 1912 wo produced 800,000 tons ot tlnplato and im ported 2,000 tons. There Is no more striking Illustration ot tho value of protective tariff than tho American tlnplato Industry. Mr. Carothers said that tho same practical demonstrations of protec tion were going on every day In Washington county, where they have large tin, glass and steel works. "Our county," said Mr. Carothers, "stood third among all the counties of Pennsylvania for increase In pop ulation in the last ten years.

David B. Johns, chairman of the Allegheny County Republican com mittee, incurred the enmity of Fllnn by refusing to follow Roosevelt, out side the party, after he had voted for him as a delegate In the national convention at Chicago. "We are going to carry Allegheny county for Taft, ' said Mr. Johns, "and the four Republican candidatjs for Congress, In tho Pittsburg dis trict, Stephen C. Porter, M. Clyde Kelly, James Francis Burke and A. J. Barchfleld will have no difficulty." E. M. Vale, Cumberland County Chairman, reported Improving condi tions, although he admitted that sit would be a hard fight in his county. Omar Fisher, Clinton County chairman; Henry C. Qulgley, Centre County chairman, and C. E. Troxell, Cambria County chairman, all re ported a steady decline In Bull Moose sentiment, and a general In crease in Republican strength, due to tho prevailing prosperity. "We were a nttlo doubtful about Cambria, In so far as President Taft was concerned," said Mr. Tooxell, "but within the last two or three days we havo decided that It Is not only possible but entirely probable that tho county will go for the Pres dent. I feel sure that Congressman Jesse L. Hartman will be returned to Washington." Bids to be addressed to the Suner- ntendent of the Hospital, Dr. T. C.

In a recent issue, tho "American Lumberman" gives sonio very good Ideas concerning what a Board of Trade can do for tho reall mer chant. First of all it urges tho re tail merchant to enlist in the work of the local board of trade, if no such organization exists, to origin ate a movement for tho formation of such a body. All classes of com mercial men aro greatly benefited by tho work of tho board of trade but It is doubtful If any class Is any more benefited than tho mercantile class, whose prosperity and very ex istence aro dependent upon the local community and tho attitude of the people toward tho town in which they live. Somo of tho ways suggested for tho board of trade to holp tho re tall morchant aro as follows: Securo proper tolophono service. Compel reasonable railroad serv ice. Regulate and minimize soliciting schemes. Work out a scheme- of co-operative delivery. Secure tho 'best posslblo postal facilities. Induce tho people of tho com munlty to buy at homo. Protect tho merchant In tho en actmcnt of ordinances. Mako tho town tho convention center of Its territory. Encourago good roads and de mand proper road expenditures. Co-operate with tho local gov ernment In public Improvements. Conduct a campaign for early shopping at tho Xmas season. 'Protect tho merchant In tho town against Hy-hy-nlght concerns. Securo now Industries thereby Increasing tho buylug population. Organize and glvo impetus and effect to early closing movements. Co-operate In tho creation of spe cial days to stimulate home buying, MARTIN CAUFIELD Designer and Man ufacturer of ARTISTIC MEMORIALS Office and Works; 1036 MAIN ST.
