ITHERE still larger'and better effort. near 5- lars Si,-. Ml* Reasons for.... M.SBNDINQ AWAY are three reasons for sending away for what you want. 5 They are jdiocy, selfishness and dead merchants. If a merchant makes no effort to provide his customers with up-to-date goods 5 or insists on having war-times prices, then we would not blame any- 5 one for sending away. But if your home dealer is doing all in his power to place at your disposal a line of goods equal in style, and at as low prices, as the far away city stores, or Jlontgomery, Ward & Co., then you should bj all the laws of man, encourage him by buy- Ing everything you can from him, and by so doing spur him on to Recently a gentleman was examining some shirts in a clothing store and while he admitted thlt the style was right, the price was right, he would not buy them because, as he said, every hobo In town would have one just like it, so he thought, he would not buy until he went to Omaha. That Incident illustrates Idiocy better than. we could explain it. This man Is altogether too good for this community and should get out of it. When a man Is so particular that he can't wear a shirt like anyone else has, he had better starta factory or get off the earth. --v We wonder if the people who own property or have even small 2 financial Interest in a community, realize, that if everyone would be 2 as selfish as they, that their property would deteriorate in value to about what it was worth when Iowa was first settled. Or their 2 means of making a living would be taken away. 2 Why is a farm or property near or In Chicago worth many times as much as one of equal size near or in Audubon? Probably a farm Audubon would produce just as many bushels of grain as one near Chicago. Nor could you build a larger building on a fifty-foot lot In Chicago than you could in Audubon. Why is it that property values are always higher in and near large towns than near small places? Isn't it because the better the town the more farms and property are worth? 2 The fact that Audubon has the reputation of being one of the best S small towns in the state adds to the value of every foot of realestate In and adjacent to the town. We know farmers, and merchants and professional men, too, who, It seems to us, never think that every time they send away for what they have to buy, that they indirectly injure themselves as well as the local merchant. Perhaps they argue to themselves that THEY will send away and leave to others the .burden of building up the value of their own as well as their neigh isibwr's property.' Perhaps they think ho one will' know it. But it Is I known, though mei*' -ule say nothing about it. How much merchants, derive mery, Ward & Co. or some mei —or Omaha or Chicago? In-the long run you don't make A single cent by sending away, and every time you do, It will prove a boomerang. Of course we under stand that you don't owe US J.F.RUSSELL Pleasant Prospect.

Si A New Yorker who has spent time and money in developing carrier •jigeons and may be called Jones for hort was boasting at his club one tigat of the great flights that his pigeons had made, when Brown said, "I'll bet you the best dinner the club can furnish for every one present that you haven't got a pi geon that can fly from Philadelphia to New York." "It will be simply robbery," said Jones, "but I'll take your bet." Brown stipulated that he should carry the pigeon to Phil adelphia himself, and he did. Before releasing the bird he clipped his wings, and then he returned to New York by a slow train. "Well, tig. leased your pigeon in Philadelphia this morning," he sai&to Jones that night at the club., «Has he return ed yet?"
