always a standard price for somo some kinda kinds of at formers fj riner produce how bow can wo we expect tho the country merchant to buy our eggs ggs butter poultry and ana other product products go vital to us all sill ii it we dont reciprocate ie Is it not an object for us to build up cur our market jawn and make markets for our products does it not add to the value of our land to be ible to point to soma thriving near by town with a ready market with schools and churches Is not land to so situated worth more than if it I 1 Is isolated and distant from everything and everybody by standing by our homo home e are standing by each other and by standing by each other a wai thrive and prosper together Is 1 it to our interest to build up great homes houses in distant cities I 1 make the broad assertion that v bile some things on the surface may seem cheaper than the thil prices of at our home merchants aft art er we bare have scrimped duref our neves ves to get tho the cash and paid frellin it and other charges and paid for things we do not need because they cheep cheap a are actually out of pocket we arc are pilled gulled by the cormorants corin crants if we keep depressing and destroying our home merchant merchants we will find after it life time that our farm farms are in an isolated region and hare have not increased in value as they would if it we bad had made a mar teet ket at our very door I 1 know too well the selfishness of human nature to imagine for a moment you would join a crusade against catalogue houses if it it did not appel to your cupidity hut but it Is a A fie je thing to cul cu your mer chants throat if it it puts money in to your pocket still when it comes U cut ung ong your own throat the inducement 1 Is not to 0 o tempting none of us likes the

the church the school the library and when the mall mail order houses hare have succeeded in obliterating lite rating the towns who will be the champions of the people of the great country count rv who will champion farmers cause the business men and the probes anoual men who make up the country towns tona of this country will no longer be the representatives or of the farming cass class will the farmers then look to the men in chicago or nw new york who are running the mall mail order bouses houses to assist them la in ff airs or will they take the time themselves to thorough ly post themselves as to the nations affairs and piddle their own canoes 11 1 ll they lie be their own lawyers or use city lawyer sP the community life in which we help one another is the natural life anything that interferes or weakens this life Is an enemy of the real people the parcels post and the mall mail order hous i are tire twin t in juggernauts that would roll ponderously over the people of the country the parcels post if it it becomes a law will drive the people from the peaceful villages and hamlets millets li of this country to the already congested districts of at the cities real chate in and about deserted towns and villages il lages will materially lessen in value farm property will go down in the scale and right here bere I 1 want to warn he the farmers against certain farm papers filled with ith meats of the mail order bouses houses these papers are to a largo large extent duzs d by the mall mail order houses in other words they are influenced by them because tho owners can sell large allotments of advertising space to the mall ordet louses it ia is a matter of business with the publisher make alake it a matter of bus busi you protect yourself against this evil 11 you will find rind that a letter to the editor protesting this eort sort of advertising will have uwe little result the editor like every one els ise ie Is a selfish individual he ile bi hp his own troubles getting busl bust ness and making a living ire ile will bang hang determinedly to the advertising of the mall order house you will find it a difficult task to rid the jour our nals of this class of advertising but you and your brothers should beware of this you should not patronize such firms nor have confidence in them because their advertisements appear in the paper papers and magazines you hare have taken for a long time into 3 lour our home your night rightful fui expectations waca you bought your farm you had a right to expect that it would increase in value and it will do so as the he years go by it the parcels post and the mall mail order house do not sap map ine town near you hare have located it la Is to your interest financially as veil well as morally see to it that tho the mall order houses do pot not get deir business trade with your home merchant lie may not al at way mays meet be the of at tle mall or der houses but if it you get anything from him that la is not up to standard etan dard you can immediately return it and bo he will make it good it will not be nee ebsary to go through a long series of correspondence fending sending the tha rejected article miles aud antles away to bare have fh ha error rectified on the whole I 1 believe you can buy at home to much better advantage and at as mall small cost a as you can buy of thebie mall order housea houses the mall order catalogue works very much with the country woman as the big tore store window windows do with do city woman many and many a useless thing bai has been pur chased by the
