We cannot_claim the advantages of community ife and at the same time disre- gard its obligations. Our interests as neighbours are too interwoven to render safe a spirit of indifference to our mutual welfare.

Until two weeks ago we were absolutely wallowing in mud, ankle deep, everywhere. We have since} shifted camp and are now dry underfoot. though the rains stil. come almost. dai`y. We have had some frightful storms; twice our mess tent and orderly room have been blown down and one afternoon a marquee 30x60 and walersoaked crashed down` on about 150 of us, at a lecture. _Fortunately no one was hurt. Tonight it started with a rain, then blew a terrific gale and now snow and sleet are rattling against our tents which are ll:m;)ing' in a way that makes one feel glad to be inside by the tire.

'ifn'der a brief holograph will: _-- CC`d .--vu vununnnv There are two points raised by Mr. Hainesworth which are perhaps worthy of a brief elucidation. The first is his claim that the local merchant is unwilling to concede to his customers the privilege he claims for himself, namely, to buy in the cheapest market. This, so far as we are able lo see, is not the position the home merchanl..takes. He asks .--and too frequently in vain---for the privilege _of compet- ing with the mail order houses, on a fair business basis. He knows; Mr. Haineswnrth knows; indeed we all know, that many hundreds of dollars go out from every community to the city merchants, without a dollar saving effected by the purchasers, and without any disposition on the part o the purchasers to give the home merchant a fair chance -to com- pete. This is the real crux of the mail order evil. If the patrons of the mail order houses were sufficiently loyal to their own community to take their spot cash to a home dealer, and give him, their friend and neighbor, the chance they so willingly give to the man who does nothing to sup- port the community in which Mr. Purchaser lives; who pays no taxes; no rents; contributes nothing to its social, moral, or religious welfare, they will have met the reasonable de- mand impcsed by fair play and will have discharged one of the community obligations rightly placed upon us all. This is not to criticise Mr. Hainesworth s neighbour in the par- ticular transaction cited. In_passing_ we may note, however, that coal-oil stoves quoted in the city catalogue at $5 are offered by Huntsvil-le merchants at $4.90,` and many similar instances are constantly brought to our notice.

Mr. Hainesworth, a valued subscriber at Novar, writes illustrating a business transaction recently brought to his notice by a neighbor, in which the latter claimed a saving of $2 on a coal-oil stove purchased in Toronto. Our cor- respondent continues: Is it not as good for the commun- ity, that I should have that $2? The merchants do not live ug to what they preach. They buy where they can buy the c eapest, and. why ask us to do otherwise? The total amount of wealth in the community is the same_ in either case, viz., $7, the only difference is that the $2 is in my pocket instead of in the merchants" This v;`.;.I."
