Because of complaints of poor busi ness front merchants In many town of 2,500 or less population throughout the country, some of the large wholesale Jobbing and manufacturing concerns or the United States have organized the home town association of America. The motive for forming thin organi zation Is not sentimental It is a mat ter of business. The concerns which are manufacturing and .telling goods are interested In the prosp -r'.tv of the small towns. They have a largo trade in such localities, ami they do not want this trade to dwindle. They cannot hope to enlarge their business In a town which is diminishing In p >l>ula latlon and commemal Importance. Through the home town association they hope to Infuse more energy Into local merchants In such places: to in duce them to adopt modern method*, tlmt they may sell more goods and, Incidentally, buy more from the whole salers and manufacturers.

Over 6.000 in Augusta the rest In nearby trade anti surrounding territory. of the country merchants. The net sales of one of these houses In Chica go In 1913 amounted to -more than s9l - 000,000. This Is only one of manv such concerns which by energetic methods have pushed their trade Into every hamlet In the land, no -matter how In significant or how remote. To resist competition of this sort the home town association la trying to Induce the country merchant* to borrow some of the aggressiveness of their big adver saries, to advertise their goods, bustle for customers und bold and Increase their trade. The plan Is good, nnd It will have to li« adopted If the rural merchants ex pect to continue In businesa und en joy a remunerative patronage They cannot brush away competition by an occasional desultory appeal to their customers to do thetr trailing at hone. They must show these customers that It Is to th"lr financial advantage to trade at home Otherwise, cobweba will acom ulate In their stores and the mall order bouses will continue to take away their trade.

Hut the custo mer sent a note to Ida hotel requesting Contribution of Farmers to the Na tional Prosperity. John M Oskison in the Chlt-ago News A very real boost to the sentiment of optimism which colored the first two months of 1814 was given by the study of figures showing the produc tion of crops In 1813. It is on the farms that the greatest share of the country's new wealth is created. I'ltfmntely, the farmer Is the buyer of the Increased number of shoes turned out, the additional tonnage of sled used in the laying of railroad mileage, or In the framework of fac tory buildings and office buildings, the Increased output of clothes anil food products, lie supplies the additional tonnage of freight (on his crops as (hey go to market and on the pur chases hr receives from the cities.) If the farmer has more money than usual to spend, business in general will be better. That is a perfectly logical deduction. Bo those whose comment helps to form public opinion concerning tho state of the nation from a business point of view looked with Interest for the first-of-the-.vear announcement of crop values for 1913. BURDENS Bam Jones And again many of us are like Ilia old woman who in borrowing trouble said: "1 know lam going to starve to death; I have meat in the smoke house for this year and hogs to kill next year, and pigs for the year after that, but what in the world will I do after that?"

The devil has a great big Joke on a Christian when he keeps him awake half the night, and I Imagine when the devil bids some Christian good-by he will turn around amt say, "He has gone to glory, hut I had enough fun out of hint before he got there." I am not going to be Joked in that way for I have the promise of God s word. “Trust tn tlie Lord and do good: so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt tie fed." And ns long us the lilies of the field are clothed and the birds of the air are fed, I know God will take care of the man who trusts In him. I have often thought of the sound philosophy of a man who said. "In the hotel where 1 was staying one night, ill the room above me, I beard a man walking the floor until the clock struck 12, and 1 and 2 o'clock. The man tn the room with me wanted to go to sleep and could not on acount of the man In the room above us. Finally he got up and dressed and went upstairs nnd knocked on the door and said to the man: "Friend, whot tn the world Is the matter? I can't sleep with you walking the floor above me." The man replied: “I owe ten thousand dollars and It !» due tomorrow, and 1 hav e done my best and cannot pay it." "Go you mean to say you have done your best to pay- this money"" 1 lie man answered. "Yes." "Welt, my friend. If you done the best you can, volt go to lied and let the other man do the walking." Be with tn».

" Re industrious, my children, and you will, succeed Be loyal to your employer, never look at the clock, put the firm's Interest before vovTT own and success is sure to come. You remember, no you not. the great difficulty George Washington had to contend with?" " Yes. sir; yes. sir.' the children piped.

" NEW WEALTH FROM CROPS It was a record year. More than $10,000,000,000 of value—ln crops and live stock—was produced from Ameri can farms In 1913. The department of agriculture estimated that of the total wealth produced there would be sent off the farms and put Into circulation through Its channels of trade the sum of $5,647,000,000. Next door, Canada came forward, too, with a yield of ex ceptional magnitude. Including over j 500.000,000 bushels of grain. Here, then. Is the farmers’ contrlnu- Itlon to the funds available for stimu lating business. Kvery manufacturer and every merchant whose product mgkes an appeal to the purse of the farmer may expect to share in the dis tribution of that enormous sum. Every workman who is trying to build up a savings bank account may expect to sliare through continuous employment anti perhapa Increased wages. Every stockholder In the companies which manufacture what the farmer wants and in the railroads which haul for the farmer may expect to share Bo the farmer has added his consid erable influence to make the beginning of the year J 914 notable as one of ex ceptional promise.
