WHAT IS YOl'R MONEY WORTH?
Money as a purchasing agent/ means1
100 cents to a dollar^ But'the greatest
spending value of money is in
what it will buy Judiciously. Money
> value and economy are oftepf mistaken
for the same thing. A wooden
house costs about two-thirds of theprice
of a brick one. but it is economy
to put more money in the Ihore substantial
building. (
It is with the purchase of tpe '
commodities of every day use-. A snoe '
with a hole in it will destroy more '
hose than %^tfew pair or a half sole
will coBt^'r So it "is an economy ,to
spend money for the new shoes.
, Your local merchant carries two or
three grades of almost every staple '
article and the close observer can
easily see that the best value for your
money lies not in price but in service.
nit? pmcutT in senainR money
away from home for articles to save
what may seem a substantial reduction
from the local merchant's price
is pften a waste of money. Your local
merchant ogers you a choice of
several grades and almost inevitably
stands ready to adjust any shortcpmIngs
the articles may later be found
to have. His success depends not ,
upon your future patronage. The local
merchant uses his long establish- ,
ed business as an asset. The mail
order house does not care about their ,
pgat performance, for some often ,
change their names every yoar. Some
people though are like the flsh that
tries every hook dn the stream. '
If all the members employed in
i
the building trades in this section
aent their money off for goods that
they could buy at home, how long
would they "be able to find remunera- tlve
employment.
By patronizing local merchants and
home industrlefcyou are using the only
method of ,keeping prosperity in
your community. The economy of
money value lies in the good you re- ,
ceive not only directly hut indirectly ,
from what you spend. '
One of the truest mottoes ever post
ed In a thriving town reads: "Remembej,
you get just exactly what
you pay Tor." "Whether groceries,
hardware, lumber or bricks, you do
not And anyone selling an article for
less than it cost.
You would be afraid to eat steak
that some man was sealing for 16
cents a pound when you }<n^w that
every other merchant in town had to
charge 25 cents to make a living proIt.
Think it over. Every dollar you
spend at home gives yon a golden opagain.

a snarl produced by a conflict between

In Great Britain an English woman

According to a new United States
law, an American-woman who marries
a foreigner retains her citizenship
in this country. The law further provides
that foreign women who marry
American citizens do not by that act
become citizens of this country.
The result has been confusion; a

British woman marrying an American,
'longer British, and by the la wof this
country is not American. Much emI..11

"I've reached the point where I'm
'tired of saying thjit people who continually

Washington, Oct. 24.?Prominent
members of the .YJasonic order in congress
are shocked at reports reaching
this country from Ireland of wanton
tnd purposeless attacks on members
of the Masonic ofder, and the deUruction
of the property of a fraternity
Which never takes any part in
politics.
According to reports many Masonic
halls have been waVitonly destroyed .
In Ireland by those who choose to
imu h. religious intolerance into the
political trouble's pf that sore distressed
country. The Mftaonlc hall at Balllnamore
has been destroyed. In Mulligar
the Masonic hall was raided, its
windows broken, Its furniture hacked
with axes, after which oil was pourad
over tho wreckage, and the whole
burned. In Dundalk, not far from
the Ulster frontier, three Masonic
lodges met in a hall, which was raidad
by armed m'dn, 'who seized books
and other property. Shortly after,
members of the order, whose names
were obtained from the seized records,
were'ordered to leave on pain
of death. Many of them escaped to
Belfast; the meetings of all three
lodges have been indefinitely suspended.

parliament, says of these attacks:
"The fact is that men in power in the
south and-west of rtland have hrokIen

its prejpudices and antipathies. It
is the spirit of the French revolution
or of Bolshevist Russia that is
abroad."
