George Washing ton.
All over the land the 22d of
February. Washington's birthday,
is celebrated.
How shall any man add aught
to the praise and eulogy of
George Washington? History and
biography, eloquence and poetry !
have exhausted their combined j
efforts upon the successful leader;
of the American Revolution and '
the founder of the American

repuouc?our nrsi great naiiunai
hero.
Every great crisis in the history
of the world has found its
great man to guide and control
it. Call this providence or accident,
the American revolution
was no exception to it. Before
the first murmurs of discontent
were heard in that struggle the
man was being prepared for the
crisis. On the banks of the
Potomac and Rappahannock,
thirty years before Lexington!
and Bunker Hill, a truthful and j
manly boy was growing up, '
ripening into stalwart young
manhood. With only the common
school education of that day
the young man was soon being
educated in the broader school of
nature and experience, in the
great forest, under the open
heavens, with his surveyor's
chain and his sword, in the Indian
wars, di !?tiding the frontier
settlements from the ravage incursions.

to oit qiestior, "Will the new
law liui t li e in me merchant,"
he ?e\ s:
"V\ hile the plan was under
consideration in Congress it had
to meet the solid opposition of
retailers' organizations. 'Iheir
enmity vps based on the theory
that the parcel post wou'd pro\e
an immense advantage to the hip
mail ord'r bouses. Now that
the new delivery is about to become
a tact, the wise country
merchant is preparing to make
the best of it. In investigating
his opportunity under the new
law the country merchant finds
that th" bevt gives promise of
being not half bad.
4'Whatever the big mail order
house may have hoped for in the
way of advantage under the flat
rate, the zmie system tinaily
adopted, gives a distinct advantage
to the local retailer. Instead
of hurting him it really
ought to b<? of service to I. n .
The bargain rate of the whole
system is the rale between the
rural delivery center and ail
points on the outlying routes.
The rural routes r?'t the local
rate. That is toNjay, a package
will he taken to any point on a
rural route for the same rate
paid for the delivery of packages
within the town limits. This
local rate is five cents for the
first pound, and one cent a pound
for the other ten. An eleven
pound package at the local rat*1
W'oiitd be delivered for 15 cents.

the package at tin- far end of a

its patron. The country mer-j
chant not only has an advantage '
in the rate, but his natural advantages
in time is materially
augmented. The rural telephone
is now the concomitant of the,
rural route. Where both are
available all that is required is
a little forethought in early
ordering, and goods may be delivered
from town on the same
day the order is phoned in."
If you have made up your
mind to live in a town; then
stand up for it, and if you know
positively no good, then silence
is golden. Do all you can to
help along every man who is
engaged in legitimate business.
Do not send away for everything
nice you want and still expect
the home men to suit the whin*,
of one or two possible purchasers.
The success of your fellow townsman
will be your success. No
man liveth to himself and no
man does business independent
of his fellow business men. Take
your home paper. Do not imagine
that the big dailies fill up
all this space. There are many
little crevices of good cheer,
social sunshine, personal mention,
in the home paper that the
big dailies do not print. Then
do not abuse your neighbor. The
main difference in the number
ef his faults and your own is that
you see through a magnifying
glass as a critic. The ill-omened,
the croaker, can do more harm
in a minute than two good citizens
can repair in a month.
When a man dies it is a noticeable
fact that many people have
good words to say about him and
perform in an ostentatious manner
many kind acts toward'hifrn
His former competitors in business
attehd the funeral and perform
many kindly offices for the I
dead, when he is fairly out of
the way. Now, if these kind
words were said when he was
alive and pulling hard against
, the stream, he would have ap5
predated it more. But we have
noticed at funerals men who a
; few days or weeks before could
not find words mean enough to
us? against, the poor man in the
coffin. You might as well stay
away. The kindly < ffices after
death are not appreciated by the
n.un in the box, and the folks at
A.e funeral only smile in their

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggist's Advice With
Splendid Result.
If anyone should know the worth
of a medicine. It is the retail druggist
who sells It over his counter every
day in the week, and Is In a position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y., says: "For a number of
years I was a great suXerer from
bronchitis. Last July I had r*n attack
wuicii was more severe man any, ana
my friends thought I could not recover
from It. Then I was advised by my
druggist to try Yinol, which I did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; I have gained In weight
and appetite, and I am as strong as
ever I was. I advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol." \
It ie the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
cod's liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonio
Iron that makes Vinol so efficient
Remember, we guarantee Vinol
