"We certainly believe in buying at home/' it says, "but if the merchant at borne doesn't tell the people about his goods, how can he censure people for going to a more progressive town?" The best way to get the people to "buy at home" is to have the goods the people want, and then take 9 the right steps to let them know it. " Collins County, Texas, sent a carload of chickens to New* York a few weeks ago and got back $1,800 and Texas is a great cotton state, too. 9 Good roads and good schools linked together mean more for any community than anything you can mentioh; they mean almost everything, for every righteous cause is crippled without them. . . Chancing to come upon an old paper this week, we saw a press dispatch stating the population of Germany on Mareh If, 1811?Just Ave years ago? to have bees 84. 901,421. As that was , before the present terrific struggle there, it occurred to us that an authen- ' tie census report today, were such ' possible, would make a contrast worth studying. / I THE AMERICAN POTENTATE "n. Iwi thip wnrl^ yen. _ there are men right here ftTthls town and in every other town?who would be insulted at being set down as thieves but to whom such a name would in reality be a most polite appellation?a very gracious compliment ' . They are the class commonly known as "dead beats." They are meaner than the common thief just in the proportion as the confidential clerk who rc bs his employer Is meaner than his less cowardly brother in crime who breaks into the man's house and robs him. , . And yet what a difference the laAv i - makes in the two. < A fellow goes into the store and prompously calls up a clerk or prop j rietor and orders whatever he wants j and tells them to charge it and take it down to the house. He represents i V/. la ?t,lo ana willini? t<> TW1V his ' Clint UC 19 ftl'lt UUU t. >>?O M. w J bills and will do so at stated periods , when he knows that he is a liar and t a sceak. He lives beyond his ideans. and picks upon certain individuals to r support himself and family without , any recompense whatever. And if the merchant mentioned: after going to all the expense to wait on *his fellow, bookkeeping, deliver the : goods, etc., to say nothing of the goods themselves, wants his pay as promised, what does the law say about it. Simp ly that if the man lias proiierty available he can lie made to pay, but if he sharp enough to keep his prcperty "covered up he it; responsible to nobody and nothing on earth. lie may assess any mau whom he can deceive for the support of his wife or his children or himself, feed them with food and dress them in clothes belonging to somelxHly else. Such is the province of the only imoriMin notenate who need account to no one?the "dead beat." French Remedy for Stomach Troubles The leading doctors of France have for years used a prescription of vegetable oils for chronic stomach trouble and constipation that acts like a charm. One dose will convince. Severe cases of years' standing are often greatly benefited vrithin 24 hours. So many people are getting surprising results that we feel all persons suffering from constipation, lower bowel, liver and .vrenueh troubles should try Mayr's Wond."*ful Remedy. It is sold by leading druggists everywhere with the positive understanding that your mono} will b* it-funded without question or quibble iu ONE bottle fails to g've you absolute satisfaction. PRZEMYSL FORTS ILWE FALLEN London Papers Inclined to Relieve Unofficial Advices That Outer Defences of Galirian Stronghold Have Been Captured. London, March IS.?The outer forts >f Przemysl, toward wlileh a part of the Austrian army has been struggling in an effort to bring relief to .he besieged garrison, have at last fallen before the Russians, according to unofficial reiK>rts reaching London. Although confirmation is Jacking. British newspapers this morning apparently are eager to regard the report as not improbable. They refer to the fact that the news dispatches re eeived from Petrograd yesterday said the surrender of this stronghold was but a matter of a few days. Unofficial reports from Paris Indicate that relations between Italy and Austria are becoming still more unsettled. A Far Is dispatch says Germans at resorts in the Italian Itlvlera have been notified to leave the country a touce. The status of diplomatic negotiations between Italy and Austria and Germany Is in doubt, one report saying Emjieror Francis Joseph virtually has broken them off. The operations of the allied fleet against the Dardanelles are being carried on slowly and carefully, and- a French officer is qucted as saying at least another month will be devoted to the effort to silence the* Turkish fortifications. The attack on Smyrna is explained as designed to prevent the trops there from proceeding tp the Dardanelles, as well as to cut the communications of the Turkish griuy which was sent against Egypt. Au official British account of the recent fighting at Neuve CJiai>elle says the town was laid in ruins. Jfo estimate is given of British.losses, but it is said that in two sections near the town 2.500 bodies of German soldiers were counted. A Vienna dispatch concerning Frzemysl Ls in disagreement with a Pet rograd message of yesterday to me sffect that the Galacian fortress would Call within a few days.

The renewal of heavy fighting on both the western and eastern fronts during the lust fortnight apparently is being followed by another lull. To day's official reports si>eak of no important engagements. .Russian forces continue their efforts to throw back the Germans in north-' ern Poland, but the German war office says all these attacks have .been repulsed. The statement shows, however. that the Russians succeeded in penetrating Gentnn soil once more, striking in at the northern end of Past Prussia. The Russians are ac used of burning and pillaging villnges and the.German government announces it will retaliate by destroying three Russian villages for every German village burned. Although fighting still is under was in Belgium, Champagne and the Argonne, the French and German statements Indicate the activity yesterday was limited principally to the artil lery.
