We A certain Coquille merchant in discussing the mail order problem last week said it was his opinion that near­ ly as much money was sent out to mail order houses each month as was spent in Coquille. Probably this was an exaggeration; but the merchant had some grounds for his statement. “ We cannot compete with these houses in prices,” he continued, “ they sell in such amounts as to enable them to buy in large quantities and to sell cheaper.” In that sentence the merchant summed up the whole matter. I f the home merchant sold more goods; if he was able to turn over his stock oftener, he would be able to buy more advantageously, have his goods come in larger consignments and therefore sell at a price more nearly equalling that o f the mail order house. It is the man who patronizes the mail order hmise that causes the one who buys at home to pay high prices. Buy at home and help toward lower prices.

MANY Mil LIONS FOR GOOD R iM S roads are In 11 m * course o f construe tiou. At present there are three big proj­ ects under way—the Lincoln highway, the Dixie highway and the extension o f the Northwest trail. These projects are national. They link up widely sep­ arated parts o f the country. They join the Pacific with the Atlantic, the great lakes with tin* gulf. They are all en­ terprises made possible only through public spirit. Millions o f dollars have been poured into their treasuries by farmers and by men o f the cities. They are propositions that have touched both civic pride and selfish interest They have got down to tlie people. It Is the people who have made them possible. It Is the people's imagination that has responded to their plans—a fine road passing your home, a flue road over which you can take your goods to market, a tine road for your little car.
