; This newspaper has never advocated a “Buy at Home
ampaign.” Economically we know that such campaigns
are unsound in principal, that no
community and no country can exist
unto itself.
There are, however, many fea-
tures in any buy at home campaign
that are commendable and helpful to the home community,
and when we speak of home community as applied locally,
v we mean Dallas, Shavertown and Trucksville.
= In the first place a spirit of neighborliness should
~ prompt us to use local labor and buy from local merchants
~~ as much as possible consistent always with fair prices for
the product purchased whether labor or merchandise.
Secondly, we know that only through following such a
course can we hope to have skilled workmen in our home
community and good stores located here. As a matter of
convenience to us all we should want these people located
bere. ©
* Perhaps the best sort of buy at home campaign is that
which at least gives the local merchant, local mechanic and
local laborer an opportunity to present his figures before
we buy. The slogan for such a campaign might be “See
~ Your Neighbor First”.
If he can’t meet the prices of out-of-the-community
- workers and merchants that is his problem, we at least have
been good sports enough to give him the first opportunity
to sell his labor or his wares.
Among the first to try this plan, and who should en-
dorse it through their action are the merchants, fechanies
and laborers themselves.

In these days when so many people are in urgent need,
how tragic it is to pay out good American dollars to Mol-
och instead of paying them to men
eager for work.
Make no mistake about it, the
Fire God, Moloch, exacts his toll
: when property is consumed by flam-
es. Nothing can restore lost life, and while fire insurance
does provide the funds for rebuilding, the destroyed prop-
erty cannot be re-created. It is gone forever and the na-
tion’s store of materials is permanently reduced by that
~ amount.
How may workmen be paid, instead of this fire de-
~ mon? Much of the $442,000,000 fire loss estimated by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters for 1932 could have
been prevented, if certain simple improvements, additions
or changes had been made.
In many structures one finds vertical openings such as
staircases, elevator and dumbwaiter shafts without any
protection whatsoever. A fire starting on the lower floors.
can spread upward with amazing rapidity, perhaps involv
ing all floors. The flames often trap occupants of the up-
per floors, and claim them as victims of a horrible death.
'* Hollow walls extending from cellars to attics are a similar
menace in dwelling houses. All vertical openings could be
inclosed with incombustible material and fire stops should
be placed in hollow walls at each floor level.
Wth the most of labor and materials at the present
low level, such improvements may now be made inexpen-
sively. The work would provide a much needed income for
unemployed men. Pay workmen instead of the demon God
of Fire — Moloch!

Did you ever hear of a hen that eats
potato bugs? We never did until Corey
Anderson who lives out in Dallas
township told us about a Plymouth
Rock he had a few years ago. It seems
the fence around the chicken yard and
running as fast as she could for the
potato patch. Once there she was con-
tented and walked down one row after
another all day long picking the pota-
to bugs from the vines on either side
of her.
As every farmer knows, chickens do
not usually eat potato bugs, but Corey
Anderson’s hen did. She died a few
vears ago before Corey realized what
a wonderful fowl she was. Had he
only hatched some of her eggs and
picked out the chicks that liked po-
tato bugs he might have had a for-
tune today. Every farmer would have
wanted a few of those hens. Think of
the money they would have saved on
potato bug exterminators, as well as
time and labor. Then, too, such hens
would be cheap to raise as their cost
for food would have been reduced to
the minimum. Odd as this story sounds
remember polled cattle started with one
calf that never grew horns. All of the
polled cattle of the world are decend-
ents of that calf. All of the great pac-
ing race horses of the world trace
their ancestery. back to one famous
stallion. Every farmer knows the val-
ue of selective breeding. Hens with a
taste for potato bugs was a great op-
portunity for Corey Anderson but he
missed the chance. a
