Many farmers, noting the ex
traordinary promises of tho
wheat fields this spring and con
sidering the official estimates t>i
crop prospects, may ask themselves
what is to become of their grain it
these forecasts shall he realized.
They may wonder what price thej
will be forced to accept for tin. r
wheat. Alany other Americans
will he likely to inquire whether
the cheapening of bread can ot ft
the depressing effect, in the whivt
growin? states, of glutted mar
ket for that cereal.
Such fears will probably provj
proundless. It may easily happen
that an increase of loo.oou.uoo el
even 200,000,000 bushels in the
wheat crop of tho United Slates
will be offset by a like diminution
of the wheat yield of the Russian
empire. There the crops'of the
last two years have been far abo\e
ttjf average and a country which
was formerly below the United
States in the quantity of whv..t
Crown has greatly surpassed the
American record.
Even if there should not be an\
such offset to the expansion of the
American wheat crop the sum»I>
may not exceed tho%deinaiid. '1
world is eating much more wliea'
breaC than it did a few years a;'".
:u proportion to its population. The
use of wheat flour is a luxury in
many populous countries. As the
advance in industrial and social
conditions they turn more and more
to wheat bread as a food staple.
The wheat crops of the last few
years would have flooded the mar
kets of Europe and America, a ilw
I eudu rgo, so completely that the
..raia could not have been sold.
All things considered, the bright
promise of the wheat fields is
| sound reason for business confi
dence. It is an omen wholly good.
STANDSTIM, -NOT KXOl'tiH
Now and then some apologist
lor the present administration

several lilies of buslnes there is no
falling off from the very satis
factorj record of l:ist year. It is
shown that 1914 is keeping up with

is deduced that things are going

to find fault.
The trouble with such arguments
Is t!: t they ignore tho natural
growth of the country. They as

PROMISES, NOT GUARANTEES
A Mail Order House Baron Never j
Shove* His Patent Leather Shoes Un
der a Poor Man's Table—His Victims |
Extend From Ocean to Ocean—From
Sunrise to the Last Chance.
[Copyrighted, 19H. by Thomas J- Sullivan.]
Said a elever quack to a painstaking
fcasiness man, "How many of the pass
lug multitude, do you suppose, appre
ciate your honesty or understand the
impositions of quackery?"
"Not more than one in ten," was the
answer.
"Well," said the quack, "you may
hare the one. I'll take the nine."
That is the system upon which the
mall order houses operate, and nothing
more strikingly portrays the credulity
of mankind than their success. Quack
ery Is u thing universal and univer
sally successful, in most cases it is
literally true that no imposition is too
great for the credulity of man.
The Quack Doctor of Commerce.
The retail mall order house Is the
quack doctor of commerce. It prom
ises much and guarantees nothing.
Like patent medicines, the directions
are always on the inside, and you must
buy a nonreturnable package before
you can And out what they are.
The mall order nouse never ueiju-'u
to build the little white school In your
district or turnpike the road past your
door. No mail order house ever took
yon by the hand when you were in
distress and told you to let the little,
account run until after harvest nest
year. No mail order house ever sold
you a vehicle and spent every cent of
Its profits in the community where
you and your neighbors could pet it
all back again. No mail order house
ever shoved its patent leather shoe^j
under your table and rejoiced with you
when you were glad, nor spoke en
couraging words when affliction visited
you, nor stomi with uncovered iiead
beside the graves of,your children.
Tli ii, i..o mail order bouses are after
your iiio: i\\ Is au undisputed fact.
Ever.- iloliar sent to tlieiu leaves your
lie ..iil'orlioed forever. The mail order
house may bear upon its face the
;eail-. in. i> iif friendship, but no human
heart beats under its cloak of hypoc
risy. Sentiment to it Is unknown.
The whole institution is as cold and
bloodless as a corpse.
There never was a ftirm in all
Christendom whose value was increns
i d by the mail order houses. They are
par..sites to which life is worthy of
ii"!ice only while the.v can draw the
financial blood out of the communities,
to the upbuilding of which they con
crll ute nothing. They create no local
market for the product of the farms.
They hare no property In the country
which <*a;i be assessed to help bear the
burden of f ixation.
Can Duplicate Every Offer,
lu every town'in the country the lo
cal retail merchant stands ready to
dupli .te every offer seductively set
fori ii in the catalogues of mail order
houses, and more. He will trump the
be.it tii' k the mail order house ever
play ed if you will put down spot cash
and accept from him a class of goods
devoid of respectable ancestry and
upon wliich no reputable manufactur
er's name can l>e found, but in which
the disease germs of prison made goods
are secreted.
lie can sell cheap goods if you will
buy them from him with your eyes
shut. He '"in meet the best price
ever made by a mail order house if
you will plank down your money and
accept what he gives you without
question and without recourse. Hut
you must uot expect hiiu to be in his
pla> e or btisine^ every day in the
year, read} and willing lo make good
any defect, ready and willing to stand
back of every article he sells with his
own reputation and the warranty of a
responsible company.
Local iYle.-cnant Neecis no Advocate.
The local merchant needs neither ad
vocate nor defense. Ills methods rest
upon principles that have built up In
this country a system of Internal com
merce which is both the marvel and !
the admiral sen of the world. Ills busi
ness is legitimate because its success
contributes to the general prosperity
of the community in which it stands
as a thriving example of honesty and
industry.
Ir. does not require that a man shall
be endowed with unusual mental at
tainments for him to know that a pri
vate monopoly in restraint of trade, de
signed to wring extortionate profits
from consumers, is detrimental to the
best interests of the patrons of that
industry. Anv combination organized

'Ji,e Following Statement. Should

To Every Alaskan Header
Could stronger proof of the merit
of any product bo desired than the
statements of grateful endorsers
who say their confidence has been
undimiuished by lapse of time?
Theso are the kind of statements
that are appearing in your local
papers for Doan's Kidney Pills.
They are twice-told and confirmed
with new enthusiasm. Can auy
reader doubt the following?
H. S. Baldwin, retired grocer,
1SS Boundary Ave., Portluid, Ore
gon, says: "I was suffering greatly
from my back and kidneys when
Doan's Kidney Pills wore brought
to my attention. Aftor 1 had used
a few boxes, the pains iu my back
left nnd my kidneys again became
regular. I am now in good health,
thanks to Doau's Kidney Pills."
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
When Mr. Baldwin was inter
viewed on January, 24, 1913, he]
said: "You may continue to pub
lish my former endorsement of
Doan's Kidney Pills. I confirm all
I have said about them, as I have
had littlo or no kidney trouble \
since."
