The reason people patronise mail order houses is because they believe they get lower prices on the same class of goods than they can Becure at home. The remedy is for the home merchant to inform the people by advertising that be can and does meet these prices on cash sales and name kinds of goods The mail order house has stolen the trade away from the country merchant by persistent advertising; A saving husband said to his wifis: "Susan, don't spend a dent of money with merchants that don't advertise in OF A PERSONAL NATURE.

Ton would be an old bachelor now if y<m had not invited me to be your wifa Aftch me going to a store without an invitation. I guess not." People always read the advertise­ ments of the merchants who call atten­ tion to their wares through the columns of the local newspapers. The man who advertises liberally usually has a clean stock of up to date goods and is not ob­ liged to display wares upon his counters long after they have gone out of date. Advertising for this reason is a benefit to the purchaser as well as to the adver­ tiser. An experienced teacher says that pupils who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who do not, are better readers, better gram­ marians, better punctuators and read more understanding^ and obtain a prac­ tical knowledge of geography in almost half the time required by others. The newspaper is decidedly an important fac­ tor in modern life. This will not be dis­ puted by anyone who has taken the trouble to investigate for herself. Very few people who use the telephone consider its true function in offices. The telephone is a door through which comes large business, many inquiries, and at which all sorts and conditions of people present themselves. In many business houses, where it would never for a moment be permitted that the front door should be attended by other than a skillful and courteous person ready and able to attend to customers and visitors politely and promptly, the telephone is put in charge of some ignorant person and often somebody who is destitute of the first principals of good manners. It is hard to see why one should not re­ ceive the same courtesy and attention when he presents himself indirectly by the telephone or actually in the body at his correspondent's place of business. Too Uttle attention has been given to jEff# employment of clerk to answer the telephone, and many employers have apparently forgotten that the telephone is an open door and that it should be guarded by a person of intelligence, dis- crstion, and good manners.--Electrical Beview.

The Marengo News, speaking of a re­ cent service held in the Presbyterian church at that place, has this to say: "Bev. W. H. Matthews, the pastor, linked the psalmody with short ac­ counts of the authors of the hymns sung, some anecdote relating to their composition, or the circumstances lead­ ing up to their production. It was a very enjoyable and elevating service, and well calculated to Initiate and deepen the Spirit's hold upon the human heart. Similar services in the future would be helpful to all attending them, and we hope for their continu­ ance." Rev. Mr. Matthews is a nephew of our esteemed citizen Chaa. C. Colby.
