He gets 'his pars' seucl, his neck scratched and his threat cut up, when there's just as much, just as green, and just as high and luxuriaalt-.erass right sunder his very hoofs.. Did it ever occur to you to ask the question': i y :he does that'? There is a rea- son—ill's because he's a mule; The sante logic' and reasoning applies to people in many coni- mmnitics who insist on buying their needs in some other town, from peddlers, or froln mail order houses: Now, do not nnisunderstatad—this is written with only the in- tent of placing blame where blame is due. Not now, nor at any. other time, does the writer overlook your side of the question. There are many merchants who do not deserve your considera- tion—but which ones do and which 'ones do .not? There's 110 law of statute or reason thateven implies that you should boy anything from any merchant, if that merchant IS SO behlnd. the times; or is of a disposition that he does not tell yon what he has to offer and :how, invite you to buy it and give you a "reason why" you should buy it from hint, in preference to anyone else; whether that anyone else` be Iota], in some other town, a mail order house, ;or a peddler The only way for you to be sere of those who are deserving, is to give your local merchants a •chance ilo serve yon. Then, if they do not do their part, .that's ',different, A. merchant that'docs not go out of his way to get what you t9iink you want; that dos not arrange ills store and his stock, train his help and create an atmosphere to please; the merchant that docs not sell youthe wayyou want to be sold, who continually cries about business and still- does nothing to please, .satisfy and serve you, when he has the chance:—that merchant is not •deserving. You 01al:e your own 1110110y -it is yours, and you have a right to spend it where you please, with'whom you please and for 'what: you please, but stop and' consider your condition, if the community was taken" away from, you.

IN M:lJMORY OF SON. )r. and Mrs. Clark Build Hut on Ben Nevis. The opening of a but on Ben Nevis recently drew representatives of the best climbers of both sexes in :the United Kingdom to Fort Will..i, Scotland. Dr. and. Mrs. Inglis Clark, two life-long climbers, have built the hut and presented it to the Scottish Mountaineering Club 'in memory of their only son, Capt. Charles Inglis. Clark, who fell in Mesopotamia in the Great War. Perhaps no more original memor- ial has been erected in the Old Coun- try 'than the hut on Coire Leis. Con- structed of local stone and lined with wood, its every detail, including the delightful sleeping arrangements, have been well thought out by . ,. perienced mountaineers, The 'reputation of the Scottish Mountaineering Club is international.
