Therefore ns sism ns she could catch her breath she smilingly ntike«l the deacon if he wouldn't sit dovrn. He replied that he would and did. He dldu t ask for the Greggs. Mot seeing them altout, he Inferred that had gone to town. The widow had I teen told always to look a mad dog or a lunatic in the eye. An (die kept her eyes on the deacon she cunning, craft and cruelty in his face, and she realized that her life was at stake. It was rather embarrassing for the caller, hut he talked nt*out In dians, Canadian thirties, potato hugs and the weather and grew more at 4'ase ns the minutes slipped away. On her part the widow tried to lie as en tertaining, hut it was hard work. The fear w.is coiistantlv present that the luuutlc would suddenly break out and n>ud her limb by llmli.

Time had assuaged her grief and caused her to change her mind. 8be bad come to feel that per haps It was even her duty to marry again. She could cook, .wash, bake, iron, make soft soap and all kinds of preserves, and for three years running her crazy quilts and rag carpet* had taken first prises at the county fair. The deacon then hinted that by hard work and industry be had accumulated about $8,000 w'orth of property. The widow saw his object and atated that her Joseph left her about that amount and she had Increased it somewhat. As a matter of fact, she lied about it. hut ahe had rend that one mast always He to lunatics, and she didn't propose IjTovoke the one before her. - i , Hea.-on Watkins became interested.

A dollar s|)ent in your own town is a dollar saved to the community. The purchasing (tower of money spent around your home Is much more than Its purchasing power If spent away off yonder. It buys the respect of your nelgbltors and a standing for yourself as a loyal citizen. It Is funny to bear a fellow preach and prate about town loyalty -when be makes a habit of using the mall order catalogue as his saleslady or sales man. Now. Isn't that a fact? Maybe the reason that young friend of yours resigned his Job In the local store and moved to the big city is that you have been helping to build up the city stores at the expense of the local stores and your young friend’s sal ary at home suffered accordingly. l)ld It ever occur to you that the com munity feeling, so to speak, is the thing that makes life worth living in any town? By the coufthunlty feeling is meant, of course, that condition where neighbors are mutually depend ent and helpful, one recognizing the right of thed%er to be eonsMesed first In any deal rather than an ontaider. ami vice versa. And the motto of the community feeling U this; “Patronize home Industries.” If the mail order trade is hurting your town, and in all probability It la and you know It la. suppose you pease a moment and ask yourself what part of the Injury you are inflicting.
