THE HOUR OF NEED
In an emergency you run to your
local druggist for a prescription. Or,
to finish a dress before starting on a
trip, you find you are in need of a
wee bit more cloth, and you run to
the dry goods store to purchase it.
Or, in numerous other ways you find
your local stores convenient and ready
to supply an urgent need.
But if you patronize these stores
only when you need something in a
hury—if you constantly send money
to out of town cocerns—^the local
stores cannot continue to exist. They
must have your support at all times,
not only when there is an emergency
but during normal times if you want
them here when your hour of actual
need comes.
There is an old saying that **those
who dance must pay the fiddler,” and
could be turned around to read that
those who only patronize a Vass mer
chant when they are in need will be
in need quite often before they get
through with the mail-order concerns.
There is no question but we would all
fare better if we wduld confine our
dealings to people we know. Instead
of sending our money away to people
we never saw—and never will see—
let’s spend it where we know who
gets it, and where it will do us some
good when THEY spend it. The fel
low we know has to face us daily, so
it stands to reason that he isn’t going
to “sting us” as quickly as the fel
low we may never see. Your home
merchant has a reputation for square
dealing, and he wants to keep it. So
that is another guarantee you have
of honest dealing when you spend the
dollar you made at home right where
you made it.
MORE BLOCS COMING
Vass people are hearing a good
deal these days about agricultural
“blocs,” and for the benefit of those
who may not understand the meaning
of a “bloc” we might say it is a term
used to designate a combination of
men who are personally interested in
seeing that the rural interests of the
United States get just legislation, and
needed legislation, and get it where
and when it is needed. Recently one
of these “blocs” has served the in
terest of the farmers of the country
pretty well in Kansas, and while it
has not succeeded to any very great
extent in having beneficial legislation
passed, it has succeeded in preventing
the passage of several measures that
do not appear destined to assist rural
America, in the event they ever be
come laws.
We are going to hear a good deal
more about “blocs” during our elec
tions this year and next. They are
not going to sweep the country in
the shape of a new-born political
party, if indications can be depended
upon. But they are going to have
sufficient influence to make the old-
line politicians sit up and take notice,
and govern their actions accordingly.
The men composing these “blocs” are
among the most substantial citizens in
the country. Their interest in the
farmer is not mercenary. They are
honest men, and their attempt to get
farm prices on a better basis is sin
cere. That is why we are going to
hear a lot about the “blocs” they rep
resent; that’s why the old-line poli
ticians are even now changing the
line of talk they have so long been
handing out to us. It is too early to
make predictions, but even now we
feel safe in saying that our readers
are going to witness some mighty in
teresting things in this country before
the “blocs” get through their pro
gram.
