Patronize Local Merchants to Get Full Value For Your Cash Money as a purchasing agent means v 100 cents to a dollar. But the great est spending value of money is h what it will buy judiciously. Mom > value and economy are often mistnk :j en for the same thing. A wood' n bouso costs about two-thirds of the price of a brick one, but it is economy i to put more money in the more sub stantial one. So it is with the put chase of the commodities of every day use. A shoe with a hole in it will destroy * more hose than a new pair or a ha f sole will cost. So it is economy to i " spend money for the new*hoes. Your local merchant carried two or three gtades of almost ev->ry staple J article and the close observer can eas ily see that the best value for yovr money lies not in price but in uerviie The practice of sending money a way from home for articles to save J*fiat may seem a Substantial reduc- j tjon from the local merchant's price s often a waste of money. Your local] . merchant offers you a cjioico of se eral grades and almost inevitabl> stands ready to adjust any shortcom ings the articles* may later be found to have. His success depends not Upon your first purchase but upon r'your future trade. The local mer chant uses his long established bus , ine-ss as an asset. The mail order house docs not euro about their pu-.t performance, for some often change their names every year. Some p »ople though, are like the fish that, trie every book on the stivam. If all the mcml>crs isnployed in the n building trades in this section sent money off for goods that lh,\ could buy at home, how long wou'd they be able to find remunerative oi l ployment ? n.v patronizing local merchants and home industries you are usi'itr the only method of keeping prospeiity in * your community. The economy of _ money value lies in the good you r» » ceive not only directly but indirect I.\ from what you spend. One of the truest mottoes ever posi- in a thiivlnglown reads: "Remem ber, you get just what you pay for.' Whether groceries, hardware, lumber or brinks, you do not find anyone sell ing anwticle for less than it cost. You would fie afraid to east steak ' man was selling for 10 cents a pound when you knew that I every other merchant in town bad to ,■ charge 25 cents to make a living profit, f. Think it over. Every dollar you spend at home gives you a golden op importunity to get that same dollar back again.

The- battle is fierce but it must l>c fought out. MILK COWS, PASTURES AND FENCES (Article No. 2, Conducted by C. K. Hudson.) Milk is not only an economic food but it is the only food that contains all the elements necessary to sustain life and build the body. No child has ever yet been raised without milk from some source, and since sixty pes cent, of all children grown fn America are raised on cow's milk it is highly important that we have an adequate supply. Mr. McCollum, one of our beat nu trition experts, says that the pcopl ■ who have achieved, who have become large,^strong, l vigorous, people, who have reduc&l their infant mortality, who have the best trades in the worlt! who have an appreciation of art, lit erature and music ,and whe ere pro gressive in science, and in every activ ity of the human intu)fect, are the people who have used rhilk and its products liberally. It is known, -therefore, that we should have a •more" abund ant sup ply of milk. This can be had in a measure by buying more milk cows, and especially by saving the heifer i calves an dtaking care of them. The' caution here to observe is, first, to get pastures for this increased live slock. Right now is ih? time to jilant fall sown pastures. Every farmer who needs pastures, anil a large per rentage of them have none at pies , ent, should not overlook this import ant feature of diversified farming. See your county agent., or write to your Agricultural Extenjioii Service ft Raleigh, tor information as to seed mixtures, details of planting and other things connected with the mat ter., JUDGES FOR FAIR WILL BE I FRNISHED BY THE STATE The State Department of Agricul ture will furnish judges for all tie the Roanoke Fair lierr fiext week.
