Euphemia, Ohio.-" Because of total ignorance of hoer to care for myself when verging into wegamihoodoend from taking cold when going to school, I suf- fered from a displaoemene end each month I had severe pains and nausea which atoms meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from the time I was 16 years old. "I went to Kansas to live with my sis- ter and while there a doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies but I did not use them then as thy faith in patent medi- cines was limited. After my sister died I came hawse to Ohio to live and that has been my home for the last 18 years. "TheChange of Life came when! was 47 years old and about this time I saw my physical Oondltion plainly described In one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg- etable Compound and I cannot tell you or any one the relief It gave me in the first three months.

INDUSTRY AND IMPROVEMENT. The manufacture of beet sugar at the state penitentiary at Walla Walla, to supplement the prison Jute mill, Is being considered by state officials. A new $15.500 school building is be- ing erected at Priest River, Idaho. Bonds to that amount bearing 6 per cent interest were voted recently. Steps toward building in North Ya- kima a milk condeasery were taken last Week when articles of incorpora- tion of the Yakima Condenser" Co. for $160,000 were filed with the secretary of state. The incorporators are Frank Chevalley of New Westminster, B. C.; 0. B. Webb of Seattle, and C. P. De- vine of North Yakima. A number of North Yakima men are said to be in- terested in the project, which Will re- quire the milk from 1,500 cows.

If YOU OW MOSPERAENHtLP Supposing All Were Catalog Buyers, What Would Be the Result?-L. Why, Our Town Would Soon Be Gone. Industry is the basis of all prosper - ity-back of industry is demand. Without a demand for its goods or services no enterprise can live, but with it all thrive. It follows then that where there is the greatest de- mand for the goods and services of the people of a community, there will be found the greatest prosperity. Money has no intrinsic worth; its value is derived from the labor it rep- resents and every dollar spent in a community stands for an equal amount of labor in that place, pro- vided all of the dollar remains in the community. 1‘50 per cent goes to some other town or to eastern fac- tories, then only the remaining 50 per cent represents industry in the home town. This is the great economic rea- son why loyal citizens should patron- ize their home industries. In buying articles produced in their own local- ity all the money spent is kept at home, it employs labor and produces wealth and prosperity. Of course home production can not supply all our wants. Our demands are too !flir- ted and we must draw tu some extent, on all parts of the world, but it Is not to the interest of the people of this town to buy goods produced or sold in Chicago or New York when the same commodities are produced or sold at home. . If you want this community to pros- per spend and Invest your money at home. The man who habitually sends his money east to the big catalog houses I, either ignorant of these fundamen- tal economic principles or he has a grudge against his own community. In either case he Is a detriment to the community, a handicap upon Its prog- ress and prosperity. Every man who earns a livelihood or draws a salary in a community Is satisfying a certain demand. He should therefore create an equivalent demand by spending his money, No far as he can, in the community where it was obtained. If he does not do this he is taking away from his community and giving nothing in return; he is robbing the community of Its re- sources, bank account and prospertfe. Population Is invariably drawn by business activity. The growth of line cities is due not so much to climaelc or social advantages as it is to the opportunities afforded of earning a eveehood. Some 20 or 30 years ago approximately two-thirds of the pop- ulation of the United Slates was In the small towns and country districts, with only one-third In the cities. Now the situation is just about reversed, two-thirds of the people are in toe cities and only one-third in the coun- try. And this growing congestion is responsible not only for the high cost of living but also for most of the ex- isting social and industrial evils. It is not for us to say whether or not these Influences and tendencies can be resisted; they are wrong and det- rimental to the best interests of the nation and we should use our best en- ergies b.! , correct them. Education, right living and right buying and sell- ing will do much to reverse the tide and get the social machinery running In better, healthier and more prosper- ous channels. One of the powerful factors that has helped bring about these undesirable conditions is the lure df the catalog houses, which tend to rob the eoult- try districts and small towns of a large part of their local business and prosperity. It Is not that better val- ues can be obtained from these out- side concerns; It is not that their ser- vice Is better. Experience and fair comparisons have In many cases dent °nitrated that better results may be secured by patronizing the home mer. chants. It is simply the lure of the far -away and the fascination of the printed page. An Experiment for the Buyer. As an antidote to the desire for cat- alog patronage an eastern manufac- turer suggests the following experi- ment for the mail order buyer: Choose from the pages of • catalog an Item which can be duplicated In your home market, avoiding the "leaders," which the mail order house use. as "bait." Then go to your local source of sup- ply and make a careful. comparison between the mall order article end the counterpart furnished by the lo- cal dealer. Compare the "Innards" of each item. Count the threads In each and compare them as to weight and texture.

It costs the mall order housse third more to do business. They are in business to make money and 99 per cent of the merchandise they sell bee a profit added to it greater than the profit your local dealer gets. Is it logical, therefore, to believe them lower on every item listed in their catalogs? MINES AND MINERS The Bunker Hill Mining & i ponoen eating company, operating mines and mills at Wardner-Kellogg, Idaho, Mon- day began disbursement of the regu- lar monthly dividend of $66,400. This will make the payments for the cur- rent year $523,200 and the grand total $14,484,950. Enraged over the accident recently, when two of their fellows lost their lives and several others were injured, 500 men employed on the Allouez ore docks at West Superior, Wis., who have been on a strike since the acci- dent, refuse to resume work until con- ditions, which they claim caused the accident, are removed. The stockholders of the National Mining Co. at a meeting at hfullan. Idaho, Tuesday, increased the capital stoch from 1,250,000 to 2,000,000 share' : The company has arranged to spend $300,000 in development work, which will include a 500 -ton concen- trator and a two-mile electric railway to convey the ore from the mines to the concentrator. 'rhe Gold Hunter Mining Co., oper- ating near Mullen, Idaho, has pur- chased a 20-drIll capacity Norberg air compressor, to be driven by a 250 - horsepower electric motor, and the new equipment will be installed as soon as It is delivered. Within the next month the management will in- stall a new large capacity skip -hoist and an electric haulage syttsin, The net earnings of t e Standard i Silver-Lead Mining Co., toe Finch- eampbell estate corporation, operating the Standard mine In British Colum- bia, for the three months ended June 30 was 3196,667, and the reserve fund at the end of the period was $231,601. During the three months the company paid three dividends of $50.000 each, or 2e 2 per cent on the capitalization, leaving $84,601 to be turned lute the reserve fund. The net earitings of the Snowstorm Mining Co., operating the Snowstorm mine, at Larson, Idaho, for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1913. were $141,- 639. The operating profit for the per- iod was $228,503, and exploratiou and Improvement expenses aggregated $66,924.

Melvin, chief of the Gut- ter States bureau of animal industry. estimates the annual loss from tuber- culosis In livestock at $23,000,000. Texas fever and cattle tick cause even larger losses, says Chicago Retaiers' Journal. These and other facts are set forth by Edward Marshall In au article on the beef shortage, published la the May number of the Housewives' League Magazine. In seven years, be- ginning with 1907. Mr. Marshall shows 'while the population has averaged to Increase by ,more than a million and a half, each twelvemonth the number of beef catths In this country has di- minished by 15.636,000, or neatly 30 per cent." This, he says, "Is the Mg reason at the back of high beef prices." These conditions are not improving. From January I to March 10 of the present year there was a decrease of 77,951 In the receipts of cattle at six big western markets. This is shown by the figures compiled by the bureau of animal industry. Mr. lLarshall says In his article that the shortage is real- ly world-wide. The European markets are suffering almost as much as those of the United States. Neither South America nor Canada has IV Istiolus of cattle and cannot be looked to as a source of supply. "It Is evident," says Mr. Marshall, "that we must rely mainly upoe our own resources." He continues: "According to the census we have 29.000,000 more peoPle to feed than- we had twenty years ago. and Ameri- cans are the greatest meat eaters in the world. A recent careful official es- timate show' the annual consumption of meat per head of population it, di e tinned States to be 162 pounds, of which beef constitutes so pounds and yea/ lei pounds. Thus we annually eat, each of us, more than his own av- erage weight In beef. This average consumption Is 35 pounds per head greater than (Irma Britalke and 40 pounds greater than that of Gensany and France 'Obviously, therefore, our troubles Iles much deeper than the packing houses of Chicago. Kansas City, and et Louis. For the moment, setting aside the argument that we eat too much meat and might with wisdom out down our consumption, the fact re mains that we must increase produe- lion or find ourselves coafroated by a notable meat famine, with Watt meet 111 for sale held at prices level! higher - really much higher- - than they are at pnetont.

NEWSHIPSONPACIFIC - - LARGE vaigitELs BEING BUILT ON ATLANTIC COAST FOR N. P. et40 G. N. A 110C11 PASSOICEt --- Ply for Trade Between Portland and Southern California Points -New Ships MX Feat Long; 63 Feet Wide. Philadelphia. Ye The veil of se- crecy which for several months has concealed the name of the cellitteny for which the Cramp Ship Building & Dry Dock company is building two big vessels was lifted Monday when it be- came known that the contract was given by the Spokane, Portland & Se- attle Railway company. Plans provide for the vessels to come into Portland harbor to load and unload freight.. They will carry both freight and paaseugers. It is under- stood that passengers will be handled between Astoria and California by water and between Portland and As- toria by rail. The boats are designed for speed. It Is expected they will save several hours on the run between Astoria and San Francisco. Train ser- vice will ears an additional two hours between Portland and Astoria. The railroad has a trackage of more than 600 exiles running between Van- couver. Wash., and Astoria, Ore., and the new ships will be placed in the Pacific coast trade to work in har- mony with that road. The ships are 100 feet long, 63 feet molded depth and 34 feet six inches deep. A Good Collector. A good collector is as resourceful as an old-time Yankee peddler, and that is going some. Incidentally be is made; he may be born with certain traits that are needed in such a man, but they, are nothing more than raw material until hammered into shape by practical experience, says National Hardware Bulletin. We know a merchant who had been trying to collect a considerable bill for nearly a year without success. The customer in question was one of that kind, which is good so far as his fi- nancial ability was concerned, but bad as to his disposition to pay; still his business might be worth considerable if he could be Induced to pay without being forced. Coming down to his store one morning this merchant saw a couple of pretty Daughters of the Revolution stop his customer on the street and without much difficulty smile him into a liberal donation for a fair. The merchant went on into his store, related the incident to his cashier, a bright, attractive young wo- man, and said, "Go down and tackle that man, see if you can get a settle [neat." About ten minutes later the cashier returned, bringing a check for the full amount. She dimpled slight- ly as she handed the check to the pro- prietor; "I was real nice to him," she said. This merchant went through his ledger and from his knowledge of most of his customers, was able to select, out of a number of bills that were hanging Are, several that his cashier collected without difficulty. We often hear the question debated as to whether or not a woman makes a good collector. From what we have seen we do not think the question re- quires any debate. A man who has any chivalry about him can be reach- ed. as In the instance cited in the foregoing, when he is pretty near Im- pervious to anything else outside a resort to the courts. A wide-awake young woman can be developed Into quite as skillful a col- lector as the proprietor himself. We do not recommend this, however, as a blanket proposition; there are debt- ors that can be handled better by one of the men in the store if he knows his business, and there are some who can be handled only by the proprietor himself. The merchant who handles the credit end of his business in a systematic way, will use whichever means as In his judgment will bring the quickest returns.

There are practically no spot transactions. While there have been considerable purchases for early delivery to Japan, transactions on contracts have not been of an act- ive character during - the week, ow- ing partly to reluctance on the Part of growers to sell at current figures. Good progress is being made In se- curing fall grain, which has made an excellent showing, and, while there has been slight damage to spring sown In some quarters, present eetheates place the outturn above earlier antics ipations, some correspondents pre - dieting that the Pacific Northwest I states will secure an aggregate of 75,- 000,000 bushels, with Washington above the 43,000,000 bushel point for the present season. Two additional charters have been announced for steamer loading within the week, and the charter market is slightly firmer, steamships quoting nominally up to 40s, with sailing ves- sels at 355. Flour -The situation Is still a quiet one. The heavy purchases of wheat by Japanese millers indicates a quiet- ing down in export activities to that country, while buying from China has been restricted to a narrow martin. With old crop conditions still prevail- ing, there have been no changes in the price situation.

THEHOMETOWNF1RSTBUYING IN OWN LOCALITY TENDS
TO KEEP THE MONEY AT
HOME.
If YOU OW MOSPERAENHtLPSupposing All Were Catalog Buyers,
What Would Be the Result?-L.
Why, Our Town Would Soon
Be Gone.
Industry is the basis of all prosper-ity-back of industry is demand.Without a demand for its goods orservices no enterprise can live, butwith it all thrive. It follows thenthat where there is the greatest de-mand for the goods and services ofthe people of a community, there willbe found the greatest prosperity.Money has no intrinsic worth; its
value is derived from the labor it rep-resents and every dollar spent in acommunity stands for an equalamount of labor in that place, pro-vided all of the dollar remains in thecommunity. 1‘50 per cent goes tosome other town or to eastern fac-tories, then only the remaining 50 percent represents industry in the hometown. This is the great economic rea-son why loyal citizens should patron-ize their home industries. In buyingarticles produced in their own local-ity all the money spent is kept athome, it employs labor and produceswealth and prosperity. Of coursehome production can not supply allour wants. Our demands are too !flir-ted and we must draw tu some extent,on all parts of the world, but it Is notto the interest of the people of thistown to buy goods produced or sold inChicago or New York when the samecommodities are produced or sold athome.. If you want this community to pros-per spend and Invest your money athome.The man who habitually sends his
money east to the big catalog housesI, either ignorant of these fundamen-tal economic principles or he has agrudge against his own community. Ineither case he Is a detriment to thecommunity, a handicap upon Its prog-ress and prosperity.Every man who earns a livelihood
or draws a salary in a community Issatisfying a certain demand. Heshould therefore create an equivalentdemand by spending his money, No faras he can, in the community where itwas obtained. If he does not do thishe is taking away from his communityand giving nothing in return; he isrobbing the community of Its re-sources, bank account and prospertfe.
Population Is invariably drawn bybusiness activity. The growth of linecities is due not so much to climaelcor social advantages as it is to theopportunities afforded of earning aeveehood. Some 20 or 30 years agoapproximately two-thirds of the pop-ulation of the United Slates was Inthe small towns and country districts,with only one-third In the cities. Nowthe situation is just about reversed,two-thirds of the people are in toecities and only one-third in the coun-try. And this growing congestion isresponsible not only for the high costof living but also for most of the ex-isting social and industrial evils. Itis not for us to say whether or notthese Influences and tendencies canbe resisted; they are wrong and det-rimental to the best interests of thenation and we should use our best en-ergies b.!, correct them. Education,right living and right buying and sell-ing will do much to reverse the tideand get the social machinery runningIn better, healthier and more prosper-ous channels.One of the powerful factors that has
helped bring about these undesirableconditions is the lure df the cataloghouses, which tend to rob the eoult-try districts and small towns of alarge part of their local business andprosperity. It Is not that better val-ues can be obtained from these out-side concerns; It is not that their ser-vice Is better. Experience and faircomparisons have In many cases dent°nitrated that better results may besecured by patronizing the home mer.chants. It is simply the lure of thefar-away and the fascination of theprinted page.
An Experiment for the Buyer.As an antidote to the desire for cat-
alog patronage an eastern manufac-turer suggests the following experi-ment for the mail order buyer:Choose from the pages of • catalog
an Item which can be duplicated Inyour home market, avoiding the"leaders," which the mail order houseuse. as "bait."Then go to your local source of sup-
ply and make a careful. comparisonbetween the mall order article endthe counterpart furnished by the lo-cal dealer. Compare the "Innards" ofeach item. Count the threads In eachand compare them as to weight andtexture. Cut into both articles so the

MINES AND MINERS
The Bunker Hill Mining & iponoeneating company, operating mines andmills at Wardner-Kellogg, Idaho, Mon-day began disbursement of the regu-lar monthly dividend of $66,400. Thiswill make the payments for the cur-rent year $523,200 and the grand total$14,484,950.
Enraged over the accident recently,when two of their fellows lost theirlives and several others were injured,500 men employed on the Allouez oredocks at West Superior, Wis., whohave been on a strike since the acci-dent, refuse to resume work until con-ditions, which they claim caused theaccident, are removed.
The stockholders of the NationalMining Co. at a meeting at hfullan.Idaho, Tuesday, increased the capitalstoch from 1,250,000 to 2,000,000share': The company has arranged tospend $300,000 in development work,which will include a 500-ton concen-trator and a two-mile electric railwayto convey the ore from the mines tothe concentrator.
'rhe Gold Hunter Mining Co., oper-ating near Mullen, Idaho, has pur-chased a 20-drIll capacity Norberg aircompressor, to be driven by a 250-horsepower electric motor, and thenew equipment will be installed assoon as It is delivered.

Anent Cattle Shortage.
Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the Gut-ter States bureau of animal industry.estimates the annual loss from tuber-culosis In livestock at $23,000,000.Texas fever and cattle tick cause evenlarger losses, says Chicago Retaiers'Journal.These and other facts are set forth
by Edward Marshall In au article onthe beef shortage, published la theMay number of the Housewives'League Magazine. In seven years, be-ginning with 1907. Mr. Marshall shows'while the population has averaged toIncrease by ,more than a million anda half, each twelvemonth the numberof beef catths In this country has di-minished by 15.636,000, or neatly 30per cent." This, he says, "Is the Mgreason at the back of high beefprices."These conditions are not improving.
From January I to March 10 of thepresent year there was a decrease of77,951 In the receipts of cattle at sixbig western markets. This is shownby the figures compiled by the bureauof animal industry. Mr. lLarshall saysIn his article that the shortage is real-ly world-wide. The European marketsare suffering almost as much as thoseof the United States. Neither SouthAmerica nor Canada has IV Istiolusof cattle and cannot be looked to asa source of supply. "It Is evident,"says Mr. Marshall, "that we must relymainly upoe our own resources." Hecontinues:"According to the census we have
29.000,000 more peoPle to feed than-we had twenty years ago. and Ameri-cans are the greatest meat eaters inthe world. A recent careful official es-timate show' the annual consumptionof meat per head of population it, dietinned States to be 162 pounds, ofwhich beef constitutes so pounds andyea/ lei pounds. Thus we annuallyeat, each of us, more than his own av-erage weight In beef. This averageconsumption Is 35 pounds per headgreater than (Irma Britalke and 40pounds greater than that of Gensanyand France'Obviously, therefore, our troubles
Iles much deeper than the packinghouses of Chicago. Kansas City, andet Louis. For the moment, settingaside the argument that we eat toomuch meat and might with wisdom outdown our consumption, the fact remains that we must increase produe-lion or find ourselves coafroated bya notable meat famine, with Watt meet111 for sale held at prices level! higher-really much higher- - than they are atpnetont. This Is not de to any treat;the conditions have boo created bythe population as a whole."

A Good Collector.
A good collector is as resourceful asan old-time Yankee peddler, and thatis going some. Incidentally be ismade; he may be born with certaintraits that are needed in such a man,but they, are nothing more than rawmaterial until hammered into shapeby practical experience, says NationalHardware Bulletin.We know a merchant who had been
trying to collect a considerable bill fornearly a year without success. Thecustomer in question was one of thatkind, which is good so far as his fi-nancial ability was concerned, but badas to his disposition to pay; still hisbusiness might be worth considerableif he could be Induced to pay withoutbeing forced. Coming down to hisstore one morning this merchant sawa couple of pretty Daughters of theRevolution stop his customer on thestreet and without much difficultysmile him into a liberal donation for afair. The merchant went on into hisstore, related the incident to hiscashier, a bright, attractive young wo-man, and said, "Go down and tacklethat man, see if you can get a settle[neat." About ten minutes later thecashier returned, bringing a check forthe full amount. She dimpled slight-ly as she handed the check to the pro-prietor; "I was real nice to him," shesaid.This merchant went through his
ledger and from his knowledge of mostof his customers, was able to select,out of a number of bills that werehanging Are, several that his cashiercollected without difficulty.We often hear the question debated
as to whether or not a woman makesa good collector. From what we haveseen we do not think the question re-quires any debate. A man who hasany chivalry about him can be reach-ed. as In the instance cited in theforegoing, when he is pretty near Im-pervious to anything else outside aresort to the courts.A wide-awake young woman can be
developed Into quite as skillful a col-lector as the proprietor himself. Wedo not recommend this, however, asa blanket proposition; there are debt-ors that can be handled better by oneof the men in the store if he knowshis business, and there are some whocan be handled only by the proprietorhimself. The merchant who handlesthe credit end of his business in asystematic way, will use whichevermeans as In his judgment will bringthe quickest returns.
