We Solicit Your Business I nearly every community there are men and women who send or go to the larger cities for many of their purchases. They either feel that the goods ties and the public in supporting railroad credits and recognizing an emergency which requires that the railroads be given additional revenues.

The memorandum recites that the carried by their local merchants are not good enough for them or that they can do better in the city. European war has resulted in general depression of business on the American continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues decreasing and interest rates increasing the transportation systems The Walton State Bank I of the country face a most serious crisis and the memorandum is a strong presentation of the candle burning at both ends and the perils WORTHY AND ESTEEMED CITIZEN PASSES AWAY 130 WAGON LOADS OF WHEAT $1.00 BUSHEL, that must ultimately attend such a conflagration when the flames meet is apparent to all. In their general discussion the railroad representatives say in part: "By reason of legislation and regulation by the federal government and the forty-eight Btates acting independently of each other, a3 well as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly Increased. No criticism is here made of the general theory of governmental regulation, but on the other hand, no ingenuity can relieve the carriers of ex Last Friday, Dec.

4, was a iecord breaking day for the local elevators. At the Farmer's 92 wagon loads was received and the Moffet secured 38 loads. One dollar was the price paid. The most wheat received here previously on one day was 117 Un Wednesday morn ins, Dec. 2, occurred the death of one of our' worthy and much esteemed citizens, Mr.

Charles Wallace. His funeral was conducted by Dr. W. T. McConnell, assisted by Mr.

Lowe of the M. E. church, from his late residence at eleven a.m., Friday, Dec. 4. These misguided people are not malicious barriers to local welfare and development.

Nevertheless they retard the progress of their communities just as much as though they intend to. It is hard to think of a single article in general use that can not be purchased from or through our local merchants to as good advantage as elsewhere. Possibly some of you at times desire certain patterns, designs, styles or models of articles that are not carried in stock locally, but it is safe to say that if you will make your wants known to your merchants they will get the specific article you want at the same price you would have to pay elsewhere, and save you the trouble and expense of sending or going ay. If you want to be an active factor in the growth improvement of this community yoashould spend, every dollar possible right here where it will stay in circulation and assist in our general and individual prosperity. Whenever you are in doubt as to your ability to patronize local stores to as good advantage as elsewhere, investigate before you decide to buy from a distance.

David Shirk residing north of Walton and John Wallace of at still living, the other dying before he removed from Oliio. His wife died from their home near Walton, August 22, 1902. Twenty nine years ago he, with his family, moved to Kansas and located in Walton township, and sees it, and bass fishing is al penses created thereby." President Wilson, in transmitting the memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, characterizes it as "a lucid statement of plain truth." The president recognizing the emergency as extraordinary, continuing, said in part: "You ask me to call the attention of the country to the imperative need that railway credits be sustained and the railroads helped in every possible way, whether by private co-operative effort or by the action, wherever feasible of governmental agencies, and I am glad to do so because I think the need very real." The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation and the president is to be congratulated for opening the gate to a new world of effort in which everyone may co-operate. There are many important problems in our complex civilization that will yield to co-operation which will not lend themselves to arbitrary rulings of commissions and financing railroads is one of them. The man with the money is a factor that cannot be eliminated from any business transaction and the public is an interested party that should always be consulted and happily the president has invited all to participate in the solution of our railroad problems.
