WHAT $2.50 DID IN
PAYING SIX DEBTS.
Recently an incident occurred which
ought to be proof positive of the im
portune;1 of people in a community
dealing with one another in every
transaction possible. Dr. Ramer was
called, so the story goes, to a farm
t'ov the purpose of treating a sick
animal. Several neighbors had
gathered about the place, and when
the veterinariain had given ease to
th- .ini.iuil. the owner said:
!>.H:or, 1 shall have to stop by
; j ou the fee ($2.50) when
1 to Brevard next week. I haven't
. iiiosu-y just now."
Vlv. .vupon a gentleman standing
by to the owner of the animal:
"I owe you $??.'. 30, and if you want
it I (.?;??. you now and you can pay
the il-.i tor."
Tl. was done. Then the doctor
turned a filling station man stand
ing t!it ro and said: "Here, I owe
you :'.?r some gas. Take this $2.50."
Ti.' -.at ion man passed it
t .vt lo a mo tiier man ,and said:
"ii - v. i owe you $2.50 for com."
Anil ',i *-!ma\ the situation, this
gentknUn then turned to the man
who h:.il the $2.50 in the first place,
and said: "Here, I owe you some
money. Take this $2.50 on account.
'i'h. ?.< it wis ? $13 in debts had
I'I'vm . i. u!l with the same $2.50,
ami tif! man who had the $2.50 in
the pU.<'e received, it back into
his own pocket, and there you are.
\ou can't do this with chain store
inoru-y, or mail order house money.
When volley placed in these institu
t ic- ii.- ...? turned loose, it is goodbye
to i in gone forever and a day.

A PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH
IN OUR LITTLE CONGRESS
What will the children in the
schools fifty years hence think of
this generation as the history />f our
day and time is being studiid by
the children of that period fifty
years from now. Let's see' just for
fun (if one can find any fun in
such a serious situation,) what stud
ents of history will find.
The children of 1980 will read of
1930 things:
Representatives of the nations of
the world were gathered in London
for the purpose of finding some solu
tion whereby wars between the na
tions might be averted, thereby mak
ing it unneccessary for the sons of
men to be killed on the field of bat
tle over some little old something
tiiat sensible men could settle at one
sitting.
The Mississippi river and its trib
utaries, the Wabash and others, were
breaking through banks and driving
thousands of people away from their
homes, to stand on the higher
grounds and watch their houses
and lands, chattels and cattle, drag
ged into the waste of the raging
waters rushing toward the gulf.
There were some three millions oF
men and women, American citizens,
jobless and broke, back there in 3930
these students of history will be in
formed on the pages of their history
book in 1980.
Men were being killed with a reg
ularity that ought to have been
startling, as they toiled away down
in the bowels of the earth, as dig
ging and sending to the sorface the
fuel that was necessary to keep the
people of the nation warm, and to
provide fuel used in industry and
transportation.
Reports in America in 1930 were
to the effect that three million of
Chinese had starved to death, and
Dther millions were freezing to
ieath.
These, and many other startling
?nd challenging conditions will be
recorded on the pagi:a of history
jooks in 1980, as the children of that
day study conditions of their eount
rjr m eMetiag ta IMC. x
th?a they will tare to aaothei
P#i# of tbat hia&jfy bock, the chap
ter that 4eals StKIs ttie convtiSa of
the United States and its activities
while such deplorable conditions were
existing, and while euci important
confer?ce? to that of disarmament
were being held, to learn what part
congress took in these matters. It
will the* be found that our great
congress, our great United States
senate, were at bitter warfare. All
the highfalutin, broad-shouldered,
stalwart statesmen who strolled
about the side streets of Washing
ton, their bearing detootfcg bear-like
strength, -{heir demeanor denoting
determination, their handsome faces
lined with wrinkles caused by wrang
ling. their eyes blood-shot with the
very spirit of the task in which they
wMe engaged, gave all of their
strength and wondrous abiiiity to
the solution of the question as to
whether the treasury department
should have enforcement of the pro
hibition law, or whether that power
should be placed in the department
of justice; whether there should be
beer and light wines, or bootleggers
and hilarious times.
What mattered disarmament con
ferences. what mattered starving
Chinese? what mattered the millions
of jobless and hungry? what mat
tered the raging wafers of wild riv
ers, running uncontrolled and un
checked through the richest belt of
the nation? What mattered anything
to the statesmen of 1930, except a
successful continuation of the ten
years' fight between lickerites . ami
Cannonites?

BE FAIR!
TO 10UR HOME TOWN!
MR. SCHOOL TEACHER:? Mr. William J. Baxter, Director of
the Chain Store Re&caich Bureau, makes this statement: I don't think
that if we had today in this country people to the amount of 90 % of
English descent that we would have ever had Chain Stores to the extent
we have. One haa only to pass through any Department Store to see
that the average American today is not as intelligent as the American
of ten, twenty or thirty years ago."
Analyze this and then ask yourself the question : Why should I buy
my supplies from the chain stores when they do not support my schools?
MR. CITIZEN : ? Why do you trade with Chain Stores when your
income depends upon your home people?
MR. MERCHANT: ? Why do you buy your needs from Chain
Stores when your customers are residents of your own community?
MR. CRAFTSMAN : ? Why do you buy from the Chain Stores when
your own prosperity depends upon the surplus money left your com
munity?
MR. TELEPHONE WORKER: ? Why should you buy your supplies
from the Chain Stores when they do not use telephones?
MR. MINISTER: ? Why do you buy your supplies from the Chain
Stores when your Home Owned Stores contribute freely to your salary
and Church?
MR. LODGE MEMBER: ? Why do you buy your needs from the
Chain Stores? You sell your tickets to the iocal Merchants.
MR. CHURCH MEMBER : ? Why do ycu buy your merchandise
from the Chain Stores when they contribute nothing- to the upkeep of
your Church?
MR. FARMER: ? Is it fair for you to expect to sell your produce,
milk, etc... to your Home Merchants and then spend the cash with the
Chain Stores? Refuse to sell the Home Merchants your products and
depend on the Chain Stores to buy them and see what happens. YOU
WOULD HAVE NO MARKET. Think this over seriously.
. MRS. HOUSEWIFE: ? Is it fair to your Home Merchants to ask
them for credit when in need of it and spend your Cash at the Chain
Stores? The Chains would not trust you for a loaf of bread or a bottle
of milk for your starving child.
MR. BANKER:? -.You are interested in the growth of your com
munity and keeping money at hon e so that it may be used for the bet
terment of your community and your neighborhood. Is it not a fact that
the Chain Stores carry only a small daily balance with you? And each
day their funds are checked out and sent to the large money centers?
Why do you patronize the Chain?
MR. AUTO MECHANIC: ? Why do you buy your supplies from
the Chain Stores when they do not use automobiles or trucks to deliver
your purchases and their clerks are so underpaid that they cannot af
ford the pleasure of an automobile?
MR. RAILROAD EMPLOYEE ? ? Why do you buy from the Chain
Stores when they refuse to patronize the road you work for, by trucking
their goods? They will not deliver your goods to your door. They will
not give you credit when you need it. Oftentimes on account of strikes,,
sickness or death, or being furloughed, if you were not granted credit
by your local Merchant, you and your family would suffer hardships.
The Merchant or Butcher whom you know personally, who is your
friend will help you over the rough spots. Then why not buy your mer
chandise from him?
Buy from your HOME OWNED STORES. They are interested in
you, build your community, and give employment at fair wages. Permit
the large Chain Stores Systems to destroy your Merchants and you will
have a poor town and community ,for they sap the resources of any
community.
Do not be baited by the Chains by the display of gaudy price tags
and hand bills announcing cheap prices on a few articles as they are on
ly baits for suckers. DON'T BE A SUCKER!
PATRONIZE YOUR HOME MERCHANTS who trust you by giving
you credit when you most need it, deliver your goods and build up your j
community.
Quoting from a St. Louis paper: "Mr. Harry Conrad, Sealer of
Weights and Measures, in checking 128 items in a Chain Grocery Store
in Canton, Ohio, revealed the fact that 50% of thern were short: :in
weight. In Youngstown 94 packages were inspected ana all of them
were found to be short in weight. The same conditions have been found
to exist in Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Nebraska,
Maryland, and other States."
It is advisable to check up your weights, quality and receipts. Go
over ADDITIONS and PRICES Carefully.
