THE DUTIES OF MERCHANTS
TO THE HOME PAPERS.
In an address before the Corn Belt
Editorial Association, at Storm Lake,
Iowa, Mr. A. M. Foster, a local mer
chant delivered a thoughtful address
on the. duties of merchants to homo
papers. He said many. things that it
will be profitable to call to the at
tention of the business men of their
respective cities. Duty and advan
tage go together, and it is part of the
work, of the press to educate its pat
rons as to both. He placed good will
at the first abligation of the mer
chants to the local press and said:
If you will pardon me for a person
al illustration, this is what I mean,
partially at lest, by good will.- Last
fall for the first time we devoted our
store basement exclusively to Christ
mas toys and novelties. We adver
tised the fact generallv, in the local
papers, but one day I saw one of our
regular customers coming in with a
lot of toys. I asked her if she could
not find what she wanted in our toy
department. "Why," she said,
"have you a toy department? Where
is it?" I asked her if she did not
see our ad. in the papers, and she
said she did not take any papers., I
said to her: "My good lady, if I
were you the first thing I would do
would be to go over and subscribe
for one and then read theads. You
will save your subscription many
times over." And the best of it is sha
subscribed.
'Another duty the merchant owes
the local paper is his patronage. It
has been said "by those who have
watched the order of events that no
merchant can succeed without adver
tising in one way or another, and up
to this day and age of the world no
medium has been found so satisfac
tory as the newspaper to convey in
formation to the public.
And what is advertising but infor-
Smiii:? the people what you have to
sell 1 I say it is the duty of the mer
i chant, and I would also-include the
professional men and mechanics, who
have business of their own, to pat
ronize the local paper not only by
their subscriptions, but by advertis
ing as well. If wa help to build up
the papers they will help to build up
tie town and bring to us increased
trade, and greater opportunities.
I firmly believe that if a place is
good enough for a man to live in and
to make his. money in it is good
enough for him to spend his money
in, be he an-editor, merchant, farmer
or anybody else. Some merchants
have told me they don't believe peo
ple read their ads., for they don't
see that they get any benefit. Well,
suppose for the sake of argument
people don 't read some ads. Whose
fault is it the newspaper's? Not
much. It is the man behind the ad.
It is a rare exception for the pub
lic not to read anything that is inter
esting. Perhaps we ought to dress up
our ads a little. For example, fifty
men can go down our streets on a
hot day in their shirt sleeves and 'you
would hardly notice them, but let
just cne man go down dressed in the
height of fashion, and I'll tell you
everybody will sit up and take notice.
Why? Because there is something
about him that attracts. That is
what we ought to do dress up our
ads. and make them attractive.

Load Freight by Gravity. '
The ordinary box freight car does
not appear to be very large from the
outside. A close, examination will
show that from the door to either
end is fully twenty feet, which means
that men employed in loading a car
travel quite a distance. The time
thus consumed in loading a box car
is considerable, and to reduce the
time and labor more than half two
Minnesota men have designed the
freight carrier shown here. A glance
at the illustration will convince the
reader that by such a method a great
deal of time and labor could be
saved. This freight carrier is op
erated by gravity. It is composed of
two parallel rails, the ends of which
are curved to reach the back of the
car. On each track are small wheels,
spaced equal distances apart. In
loading the car the end of the track
on the platform is raised by supports
above the remainder of the carrier.

The westbound train arrives at
Yuma early in the morning. ' Every
where, are Indians in gay garments,
and with blankets around them de
spite the heat.
Some of the men wear straw hats
and jeans; the wornsn have their
heads covered by black shawls which
fall over their shoulders. All! of
them have blankets. All of them
braid their black hair, so that from
behind one cannot distinguish sex.
Crossing the great iron bridge

Government i3 building the largesj

Nile.
The horse corrals near the stage
station interest the stranger. They
are mere stalls of poles, for in Yuma
they need provide neither for rain
nor for cold.
There are signs everywhere warn
ing people against being on the re
servation without a permit, and also
against trading with jthe Indians..
No sign is seen, however, prohibiting
photography, and so we level the
kodak at a woman. In an instant
she has -hidden her facs under her
blanket and has scurried away.
A little further away on the reser
vation, where the arrow weed and the
pigweed rise to the height of pampas
grass and hide vast coveys of quail,
are scattered the adobe huts of the
Indians. Here, there, anywhere they
choose, they build their shacks, some
cf them miles from the nearest
nsighbor and hidden from sight in
the arrow weed bushes..
The huts are square, and in front
the rcof overhangs a mass of dried
brush fastened to two poles at either
corner. At the sides open the cage
like corrals for the horses, mere"
poles set fence fashion. Dogs are
everywhere, as numerous as in Tur
key, and they and the men and the
women slink by absolutely noiseless.
Even Jthe innumerable children are
quiet. -
There is a small church on the
reservation, and at its side, ' in a
frame, an iron bell that the Catholic
priest is ringing. It takes me back
to the days of the missions.
In contrast, across the railway on
the bluffs, is the modern Indian
school. The jant to it is alwaj's in
teresting to the visitor. Across the
bridge you go in company with sad
faced Indian squaws, very dark, and
the darker for their gay-colored gar
ments of many hued borders. On
their heads the long black , hair lies
uncombed, and they sometimes wear
bags bound on the forehead and
hanging down the back; these serve
as a kind of ornamental top comb,
and in them the supplies are carried
from town to reservation.
Among the Yumas there is held a
corn feast every September, when
all the tribe gathers for a three days'
meeting. Then there are games and
dancing and singing and a feast of
corn and watermelon and anything
elsa that can be purchased. The
principal game of the aoults on the
reservation here is hoop the pole,
the hoop being rolled on the flat
desert and the pole then thrown
through it.
This the bucks will play on the
hottest daj', no matter how freely
the perspiration falls from them.
Shinny is another favorite game.
Some of the Yumas have married
according to the rites of the Catholic
Church, but, for the most part, nup
tials are according to the Indian cus
tom. .
Burning the dead, as observed
among the Yumas, is interesting.
The body is first thoroughly wrapped
and then placed on logs and brush
over a hole in the ground. A bed of
logs is built up at each side and at
the head of the, bier, which is next
covered and surrounded by dry fag
gots. The fames are applied and while
tney Dura the clothing, blankets, etc.,
of the deceased are added to the fire.
The horsa of the dead man, however,
is not burned among the Yumas as
is the custom with some Indians.
A day or two after death the wig
wam of the deceased, if an adult, is
burned, the rest of the family then
going to live with some relative.
The Yumas make a great show of
sorrow over their dead. Later they
are never mentioned at all.
The medicine men are still largely
In control among the Yumas and the
Government makes no attempt to in
terfere. Usually their patients grow
sicker, s3 that they proclaim them
doomed to die and their prophecy
will almost always come true.
The Government allows its 800
Yumas-, 4500 acres of land an ir
regular tract extending fourteen
miles up the river and ten down. Of
this 1800 acres will be irrgable
when the Laguna dam is done.
Inasmuch as the Indians may set
tle where they choose on the lands,
it Is probable that the widely scat
tered houses will then be drawn
closer together. As it is now, Yuma
itself is really the only village among
them.
Other Indian tribes receive food
and clothing, but the Yumas receive
only he land. When not hunting
or mending their houses or attending
wedding festivities, groups of Yu
mas, living in one long wickiup, will
take work on the railroad, or on
.farms, or else cut and sell wood from
the timber on the reservation.

phrases have been invented since the

the seaside pierrot3 would have de
vised a fresh phrase Take, for -example,
'Are we downhearted?' There
are many stories as. to the origin of
that phrase, the most authentic, i be

wheeze from the brain of a seaside
pierrot. But the holiday season crop

a good many years London is without

The art of winning the public fancy ,
with a catch phrase depends on the
skill of the man who seeks 'to do so.
