Arthur Seggins, a young Englishman who with his brother own and reside upon a farm about one mile north of Clare, went to Port Huron this morning to interview the custom house officials. A short time ago their parents forwarded to them a box of clothing from the old country, a large portion of which they had worn and left behind when they departed for America. This box is now in waiting at the custom house, and upon it there is n duty of about 848. The object of this visit is to get a portion, if not nil, of this tax removed. CLEVERLY CAPTURED. A Glare County Horse Thief Run Down in Short Order By a Montcalm County Sheriff. From Tuesday's Daily Advertiser. On tho night of June Sth, 1S90. there was stolen from tho pasture of John Palmer, in Alamo township, Kalamazoo county, two dark dapple army geldings, one fi and the other 9 years old, weighing about 1400 pounds each. They were, it handsome, well-muted team of horses and would bring §400 to §500 in almost any market. The absence of the team was early discovered. Sheriff Dix, of Kalamazoo county, was notified and al once offered a reward of $100—$50 for thc thief and 8t0 for tlie return of tlio horses. Notice of this reward fell into the hands of J. E. Graham, of Greenville, deputy sheriff of Montcalm county, and being an exceptionally shrewd criminal catcher, he was at mice! on tlie look-out, He got trace of a pair of horses that were making north that tallied to the description of those stolen. His suspicions were aroused and h. at once commenced tracing them up. Mile by mile lie. followed them from tlie southern part of the state. At Harrison lie. found where they hud stopped. Ile traced them north to Frost,saw that they had crossed and wero on tho way to Meredith. Being only a few hours behind, Im waited for the noon passenger train on the branch, wliich he boarded nnd lauded in the town only about one hour later than tlie man with the team. With very little difficulty ho located his man and lhe team. He proceeded to his house. The family were just sitting down to tlie dinner table. Going up to (he culprit he slaps n pair of luiiideufis on the fellow and claims his prisoner, amid abundant protestations and tears from the wife, Mr, Graham boarded thc afternoon train with liis prisoner and comes to Clare on his way home, where he is interviewed bv a reporter of the Daily Advertiser. Tliey took ti T. & A. freight standing at tlie depot and went to Farwell, where Mr. Graham had made arrangement* to meet the stolen horses and would thenee drive home. The horse thief is a man about 3-2 or 33 years old, of slim build and rather bright appearance. He is a common laborer and for tlio past few yenr? has lived with his wife in Meredith, working tlie most of thc time in the woods for Wells. Stone & Co. His name is John St. John, but liis looks up at the depot last evening indicated tlie word -Dennis" and tliat lie realized liis predicament. His acquaintances say that for some time past he has been* telling that he owned a farm in Canada and that he intended going oyer to trade the farm away and that lie expected to get a team in the, bargain. The horses were the ones he brought home, whicli would indicate that he had a confederate iu the southern part of the state, inasmuch a? he had not previously been down there before taking the. horfos His capture was cleverly and quickly eflccled The horses were stolen last Thursday night, and the following Monday he was ii: the hands ofthe officers of the law. Mr. Graham speaks very highly of Deputy Sherill Dopp, of Meredith, and expresses thanks to him for services rendeied. LOST A LEG. A Serious Accident Befalls A. I>. Fiilmor, untfi &V. M.

No. 1 received their new racing cart last night by freight. It is a dandy and the boys feel extremely proud of it. They had it out for practice last evening. It is currently reported that the division of passenger trains on the T. & A. railroad will bo changed from Clare to Mt. Pleasant next Sunday. The reason is said to be on account of this yillage refusing to pay the railroad bonds. Edward Dayton, an expert ball player who is making his home at Midland temporarily, is in Clare this week at the expense of Manager Sutherland for the purpose of reviving interest in base ball matters and to teach the "C. H. S." club some fine points in the nationnl game. The following is the order in which the Ave departments of the village schools ranked in the matter of regularity of attendance aud punctuality durihg the month of May: High school, intermediate, second primary, first primary, grammar. As the high school is not competing, the intermediate school takes the banner again. FromMonday's Daily Advertiser. An accident occurred atl0:15 this forenoon <)n tho Harrison branch, about two miles above Hatton, by whicli A. D. Palmer, the fireman on engine 74, will lose his left leg, A log train was being loaded nt Seal- 'a» pjWnp, on the main line just over tlie Remlck hill. The engine "was not attached ta tlie train, but stood a short distance down tlie grade. As soon as n ear was loaded, tho brake was let oil'and the cars .would rim down and be coupled onto the ejiplno. It being rather warm on the locomotive, and having nothing special to attend to nt thnt time, the fireman thought he would get oil' and go whom it wiist,cooler, lie lay down on the edge of tho ties beside tlie truck, between the. engl) e and where the men were loading logs , Having been on duty all the night bcffVje and being tired out 'twas not lo'ng hefn $ he fell asleep. One of the cars had jeen loaded as he lay there sleeping. >ike loosened nnd tlie car started, e knew of the sleeping fireman or reatcned danger. As he. lay there bing caused him to throw his left er the rail. Ou came the car. The whcci|fi struck him, passed over tlie limb ar tl»- ankle and nt the thigh. 'Twas donejt, The man's limb presented a sickening-mass of mangled flesh, Trip,engineer was the first to seo him and hpT his cries. He lav wriggling in pnhjjjbout ten feet from the track. They pickil liim up, placed him iu the caboose audi iought him to Clare. Drs. Todd ami Maynard were summoned, who ex- ainiifnd tun wound and at once plainly sawjtnt the limb would have to come off gjfo.se to the hip. The injured mau hns a .brother who is train dispatcher at Sngll^iw and he having received word of the accident was desirous tliat his brolpr bo brought to that place for sur- gicaf ,5md medical treatment. Accordingly the suffering man was placed nbosfe a caboose and engine 01 detailed to,t/i£iihim to Saginaw as quickly as pOssiflc, which left here nt precisely 12 o'clwik standard time.

No one objectsin paving the boys for their services in ens of iire, but it's time to kick when uiinec>ssnry burdens are added to thc tnx-pnvers'when the danger is no more iminett than 'twere this afternoon. Four or five of the boys could have put out this Hie just as readily as the whole de- pitrtmint. at less thnn one-fifth tlie cost— and lxMiles it was unnecessary to scare a person half to death by tliat horrid lire alarm. CHILDREN'S DAY. A NEW SCHOOL SITE. A Beautiful ami Kluborute program Delivered at the SI. E, Church Sunduy. on [An Enthusiastic Meeting Held at From Mondny's Daily Advertiser. Children's Day was observed nt the M. E. church yesterday. The day was beautiful. The morning and evening congregations together numbered SOO persons. The church was very neatly decorated and everything moyed along pleasantly. The children were happy. Parents were happy and smiled when they saw their children perforin their parts so well. The committee are justly entitled to great praise for the carefully and well arranged program. Everyone was made to feel the full significance of the day. The collection forj the day was §S.S1." Tliis makes the edu-: cationnl collection for the charge, overi SIS. This cause is a worthy one. Nature i at this time of tlie year is very sugges- j tive of its significance. It suggests to our minds the thought of a forward move-' nienr. Only n few wcek« ago the now I blooming niid sweet smelling Mowers ofj the wood and field were locked iu tlie ■ cold prison cells of the. earth. But on j the return of spring the warm sunlight i fell upon the earth—unlocked those cells j and invited thu imprisoned flower ro i come out. Tlie flowers and all vegeta-j tion thanked the, sun for its benevolence ! and came forth to cheer the world with its rich verdure and sweet incense. So it is the high aim of tho educational! society of the ir. E. church to assist! worthy young men to obtain a Christian education. The Children's Day collection will help to awaken tlie intent| forces of the minds of young men who 1 are, and will be, called to the work of tho ministry by making a thorough Christian education possible, thnt they may with a sanctified head awl heart go out into tlie world to proclaim the gospel and the saving grace of Christ. The children have come to the assistance of tho parent educational board, and have declared a forward movement throughout tlie church in thb direction. Already this educational fund of tlie church lias helped nearly four thousand students to a christian education and the number is fast increasing. Let us help the children in their high aim. Educate thcin to benevolence in tlie interests of the church nnd neglected nnd needy humanity. Money can said to be eternal only as it is spent to develop the mind religiously. Mind is imperishable.

He was on his way home and met some boys of about his own nge. One of them picked up a stick and threw it at him, which struck him just under the eye, cutting a severe gash nbout an inch long. A half-inch higher and he would have lost the sight of an eye. Parents should adopt some means o'f preventing their boys being so rough nnd careless. Edward F. Unicume returned yesterday after a week's absence in the Saginaws on business. During his stay he took the contract of building four miles of road bed for a logging railroad for Murphy & Dorr and Whitney & Bachelor. The road commences four miles north ot Coleman and runs duo east, Mr. Unicume says that he expects there will be three miles additional to build as soon as he gets tho present contract finished.

Charley Warner, the railroad contractor, changed cars here last evening on his way to Toledo. He says tliat work- on tlio Chippewa Valley railroad is now at a standstill and no telling wlien it will be resumed. The suryeyors are doing a little preliminary skirmishing, but the object, and the results are uncertain. The town of Alma is working hard for the southern terminus of tlie road and it now appears that she will take the plum from Mt, Pleasant. The Loomis correspondent of tlie Mt. Pleasant Democrat says "there is a certain quack who comes down from Clare about once or twice a week and humbugs the people of this innocent little hamlet. He is called the Indian doctor and here is one of his prescriptions: Take the feathers from the wing of a black hen and burn them; the ashes are to be applied to a swelling to reduce it. After prescribing the above there are yet people here who are paying him money. A coat of tar and feathers would be the most suitable. A correspondent from Vernon township writing to the Mt. Pleasant Democrat, says: "The invalid son of Wm. Swanston has been at work on lace work, paper flowers, etc., and up to Sunday had S10 saved, when Monday morning his father demanded the money but was told that Mrs. Dr. Goodman had it. This caused Swanston to get mad and he threatened to kill his wife and tried to do so then but she escaped and sent to Loomis and had him arrested. This is the same man that has the deeper work From WmlnoMday'H Dally Advertiser. As per Ihe notice given in these col- 111ns for the past several weeks, a meeting of the sehool board and tax payers of Grant and Vernon fractional district was held at the high school room in this village last evening for the purpo.-« of taking into consideration the, matter of obtaining u proper site for a new school building. There was n good attendance nnd much interest manifested, Everyone seems to realize, the importance of a good >chooi building for thishu.»lling young city and the necessity of its speedy erei-rioii.' The tlii^tion was thoroughly discussed bv .Messrs. Giberson, Perry. Dohorry, Sutherland, Judge Fine and other, aiid many good Ideas advanced. Thin were two lcasiblc .-otes mentioned—"-,.,- K the second block east of .Mali), 1..1 the north side of Sth j-'.ivet, and thu mlier is the block un which Byron Alger'» residence now stands, providing th- IntterV lot could he purchased nii'l the liu;i-e moved oil'. Either would be a giol hie.-uion; the latter probably the more pivlerable, judging from tlie expression* ot the gentlemen present. All seemed to be of thu opinion, however, that n whole block would be noiie too much ground, and that to obtain a location prompt actions would be necessary. T!,e block east of .Main street hns been oH'eml to the school board by Mr. McEwan ior SIO'H!; and ic is the opinion that the pte.-ent school grounds mi the north and >*,<ith side of west oth street can be i!K|m-ic| of for more thnn enough to purchase the new site. Thus far the pro -ceilings have been careful and business-like. Last uiglic Messrs. John Harris, Win. Ross and E. if.

At nbout 4:30 o'clock the fire alarm sounded for the second linn- last Saturday afternoon. A small blaze was discovered in a pile of shingle bolts near Rhoades mill. The department responded promptly to the appeal and laid hose, but the flames were extinguished with a few pails of water without the aid of the lire boys. The fire is itippost-il to have originated from a spark, either from the mill or a parsing locomotive. C. S. Chase is one of tlie luckiest men in the yillage. He is accruing wealth vciy rapidly, and his friends are pleased to note his success. Charley says he is worth just an even 81000 more than he was last Thursday morning.

Files are very hard, it's absolutely no problem to use them as a hammer ... for nails. Making a marble statue would be a problem
Hawg, if you can't find a belt sander you can use your angle grinder or a benchgrinder, but the result won't look as good as if you use the proper tool. I'm not very used to the angle so i work with a benchgrinder mostly. Just be careful with the heat as it was already mentioned. And don't leave the file project, i've found some videos in YouTube of a Polish guy making awesome knives from files. Will give a link later.

Arguably the most scenic resort in the Southwest, the Boulders is built to impress -- exceptional gym and spa; renowned golf courses; organic cuisine grown on the grounds; and casitas with wood-beamed ceilings. It's one of the best resorts in Phoenix.
The Carefree Resort and Conference Center is a landmark in the beautiful Sonoran Desert foothills, with mid-century design, attractive cacti-covered grounds and mountain views. Its mid-range rooms are extremely spacious, but some are starting to show their age (a multi-million dollar renovation of the entire property is currently underway). Still, it's less expensive than other resorts in the area, like Boulders.

Padres Donate Life Pre-Game Celebration Aug. 25 Pixs
The Padres pre-game show honored our heroes - lifesaving organ and tissue donors. We also recognized San Diego's four transplant centers (Scripps, UCSD, Sharp and Rady Children's). The first pitch was thrown out by Justin Feria, a 4-year heart recipient and Ironman triathlete. A perfect example of the healthy life possible after transplant.

I had to recently go through some "Harassment Training" at work. (like I didn't know how to harass people already!) They said we need to be more accepting of people's differences, I think they call it "diversity".
I guess ... I like pink .... on some things. BUT come on, not on MY bow!!

Hampshire Cabinet Members visit transforming schools
Thursday, 24 October 2013
Work is well underway on the transformation of a number of Hampshire schools to ensure they are ready to meet increasing demand for school places from September 2014.
Hampshire County Council's Executive Lead Member for Children's Services and the Executive Member for Education (Councillor Keith Mans and Councillor Peter Edgar) visited schools in Romsey, Eastleigh and Whiteley to see how the County Council's multi-million pound investment is making a difference.
Councillor Mans commented: "Over the next few years, across the county, we are providing 8000 additional primary school places in areas of high demand with a planned investment of £165 million. Our objective is to deliver quality education locally, that is to say, near to where children live and where parents want them to go to school. The investment we are making to transform and expand existing schools and in building new schools will enable the demand for school places across Hampshire to be met easily. Pupils will benefit from high quality learning environments in which to be taught and maximise their potential."
First stop for the Cabinet Members was at Cupernham Infant and Junior Schools in Romsey, where £4 million has been invested in the schools to extend them, remodel existing teaching space and provide specialist teaching facilities and learning resources to include capacity for special educational needs and areas where practical work can be enjoyed. Improvements to outdoor play and learning areas will also be made. Work was completed ready for the start of the Autumn Term, creating an additional 210 primary school places.
From Romsey to Eastleigh where construction work is due to start in the near future on the expansion of the Crescent Primary School, at a cost of £5.6 million. This will create a three form entry school to provide an additional 210 places, catering for a total of 630 pupils. Work is planned to compete during the 2014/15 academic year in advance of the increase in pupil numbers in the catchment. The project will create nine new classrooms. Improvements and reconfiguration of the existing teaching spaces are among the plans, together with a new main hall, entrance, reception, toilets, and staff accommodation. Children will also be able to enjoy improved play areas.
Commenting on the visits, Councillor Edgar said: "It has been good to see how, with our investment, Hampshire's existing education facilities will be adapted to meet the need for primary school places and to see that these schools are benefiting from the work of our exceptional architects. The enthusiasm that the school communities have for the expansions and improvements that are being made is inspiring."
He added: "In 2013, across the county, just under 98 per cent of families were offered a place at one of their preferred schools. As we map projected demand for future years, we will continue to work with all schools to ensure there is a place for all Hampshire primary school children."
The councillors also took the opportunity to visit the new Cornerstone Primary School in Whiteley. Prompted by Winchester City Council';s plans to bring forward the north Whiteley development area for housing, the Portsmouth and Winchester Dioceses proposed establishing a one form entry Church of England Voluntary Aided primary school, with widespread community support. Hampshire County Council took the scheme forward and the new school opened its doors on 3 September 2013.
Councillor Mans said: "Cornerstone is a good example of how we have worked with the community to meet the demand for school places arising from new housing developments bringing more young families into the area. The quality of accommodation is excellent and I can see that, in the future, we will be able to build from this to meet further increased demand in this area, arising from new homes that are yet to be built. I would like to congratulate our own in house strategic planning and design teams who have delivered all of these projects on time and on budget."

I'm a color ogler in addition to being a color consultant; I love looking at other people's paint color choices. So, I adore this post!
Hope everyone remembers that while other people's paint colors can be inspiring, it's critical to test those colors in/on your home before you buy them yourself. Think I've mentioned before that I like to use Swatch Right paint-peel-and-stick color sample decals. www.swatchright.com
Ok, I'm going to stick my neck out here and ask - no BEIGE? I find all the grays too cold and too apt to skew toward an unwanted blue or green hue especially with reflected greenery outside.
And I do use hot and bright colors in some rooms in our old, high-ceilinged house, so I'm not a "safe beige" person. I like linen-color, paper-bag color, parchment-color walls in bedrooms, sitting rooms and hallways.
Nevertheless I adore looking at pictures of how others use colors. One of these days I'm going to paint a room aubergine.
Love the organized content / view of colors for inspiration!
These colors are the best!My favorites are the Orange Kitchen, Pale Blue Bathrooms, and Pink Children's Bedrooms. I would love to live in a colorful house. I think it's time for me to buy a house and work with painters in Cincinnati.

I just love looking at your portfolio. My favorite paint colors are Dark Grey Nurseries, Red Living Rooms, Purple Dining Rooms, and Sunny Yellow Bedrooms. The Sunny Yellow is my most favorite since yellow is my preferred color. Bethlehem PA Real Estate
THANK YOU for this post! We've been racking our brains trying to come up with good paint colors, and now our problems have been solved! This is the perfect paint guide.
Living room is certainly one of the most significant chambers in your house as this is where you welcome your guests. Thus you have to be really choosy when it comes to the living room shades as the ambience here will reflect the personality of the homeowner. The article here is a short note on the right shades for your living space.

Tanya Synar and Molly Morin Art Exhibit
The University of Dallas Haggerty Gallery is pleased to present an installation of sound sculpture by artist Tanya Synar and digital prints by artist Molly Morin. Both artists share a common ground in collecting visual information to explore meaning in their art works. Synar uses video and sound to document events in nature and then, through manipulation, seeks to blur the boundaries between imagination and actuality. Morin uses digital methods, including computer coding, 3D modeling, and digital photo-editing to produce work that explores the difficult relationship between information and meaning. Her projects visualize data sets generated from a wide range of sources, from poetry to text messages, and reflect on the impact of communication technology on daily life.
The Haggerty Gallery located in the Art History Building of the Haggerty Arts Village on the University of Dallas campus. The exhibition opens October 5 and will remain on view until November 4, 2012.
A closing reception for the artists is free to the public Friday November 2, 6:30-8:30 pm.
Gallery Hours:

27?!!!! Lord! Well, when 35 I was called a pup. Between 35 and 55 I was sort of in between stages, I guess. Once in the Senior division was called just old. Then somewhere between then and now, 62, I acquired Old Man stage. Now according to Carlso 68 is Old Geezer class.
But preception comes in. At first I thought they were talking about moisture, rain, but preception at this stage is just how old you feel, I guess. My motorcycle, bronc stomped body sort of doesn't want to get going after a good night sleep or is it broke and repaired parts take longer to wake up? I think I've slowed down a bit. Used to be I'd kick King Kong's and Godzilla's butts twice each on Sunday morning. Now I take on one or the other on Saturday and the other on Sunday.

Okay, I'm having a discussion with a socialist/statist about the free market, monopoly, and anti-trust laws (repeal them!). I'm getting to the point where my austro-libertarian knowledge is incomplete. He says:
It is a major financial commitment for a startup to stock and staff a store. As soon as they do, bang! Down the prices go down the street!
Is it "peaceful" to attack competitors with your superior economic strength?
If you think it is, then you must agree with my contention that free markets will always end up with a very few dominant players is correct, because that is the inevitable result.
Do you think that the best interests of society are served when a dominant business can dictate prices and drive out competitors?
How do I respond to this?
Matthew:How do I respond to this?
He's talking about "predatory pricing." It's true he has no understanding of business, entrepreneurship or economics. Send him a copy of the rest of this post:
People will say things like "once they've got a foothold in a community, what's to stop them from raising their prices, too? Absolutely nothing."
That's why this old and popular myth of economics is known as "predatory pricing." Sounds scary right? You know this one. It's basically the idea that a big firm that can afford to sell products at a loss for a while (i.e. for less than they paid for them) will drop their prices so low that smaller firms will be driven out of business. After the competition has been forced out of the market, the predatory firm raises its price, compensating itself for the money it lost while it was engaged in predatory pricing, and earns monopoly profits forever after.
Sounds logical right? The problem with this is, it doesn't work economically...and (therefore as you would expect) there are virtually no examples of this occurring. There has never been a single clear-cut example of a monopoly created by so-called predatory pricing, let alone one in which prices were raised drastically and customers were "gouged." Claims of predatory pricing are typically made by competitors who are either unwilling or unable to cut their own prices. And as I stated, this is not just a situation in which we have no examples...it economically doesn't work...and has been shown for decades to not work.
Here's a short video that tells a really great story of when a big firm tried predatory pricing against a very smart fellow whose name you've probably heard of.
For anyone interested in the actual economics of the theory, I've provided several resources below, some of which actually contain references to dozens more. But for the Cliff's Notes kids, I'll just offer some highlights just for those interested (my comments are in italics in the brackets):
And he actually goes on and on. Another big one is the concept of brand reputation. If every time a new competitor pops up, you drop your prices to compete, and then the competitor disappears, and you jack up your prices, how long will it take before people just won't shop at your store? There is a lot to be said for reputation and brand loyalty. If the choice is between a new place that is giving good service and reasonable prices that stay reasonable, people will choose that over a quixotic price changer pretty darn quick.
If you're interested in more reasons why it never works, I highly recommend following the links to sources #1 and #3. Reisman goes into great detail, but provides very simple, easy to understand examples.
1 - DiLorenzo, Thomas J. 1992. "The Myth of Predatory Pricing," Policy Analysis No. 169. Cato Institute; http://mx.nthu.edu.tw/~cshwang/teach...03-06-monopoly and profit/DiLorenzo=THE MYTH OF PREDATORY PRICING.pdf
2 - Anderson, William L. 2003. "Pounding Square Pegs into Round Holes: Another Look at the Neo-Classical Theory of Predatory Pricing." The Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, Vol. 6, Spring; http://mises.org/journals/qjae/pdf/qjae6_1_2.pdf
3 - Reisman, George. 1998. Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics. Ottawa, IL: Jameson Books. pp. 399-407; http://www.capitalism.net/Capitalism...M_Internet.pdf
4 - http://mises.org/daily/226
5 - Isaac, R. Mark, and Vernon L. Smith. 1985. "In Search of Predatory Pricing." Journal of Political Economy 93: 320–45.
He forgets one of the most elementary aspects of capitalism: credit! There's no such thing as superior economic strength. If there's money to be earned, a new competitor can borrow money.
This is the kind of thinking of one who:
A) Has never run a business
B) Thinks low price is the only way to compete
Unless you find a new way to create a good with less expense than a major corporation, you can't win on the front of low price.
The solution is to find a "niche" or specific way to sell to your market. Better marketing, different products, positioning, etc.
Frankly, the market doesn't care who is a big business or a small one. You either learn to channel and use the demand of consumers, or you flop. Pretty simple.
A big business may dominate a section of the market. Fortunately, there are many sections. Trying to dominate them all would be far and beyond the budget of any company.
I actually suggest reading Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind by Al Ries and Jack Trout. Shows you how a business can enter the market strategically and even use the size of their competitor against them.
I would imagine if an entrepreneur sees that a market is there he'll start a business. If the evil big business lowers prices then consumers win. If the process repeats consumers win again. Even his straw man argument doesn't sound so bad to me.
Ask him to first summarize what Rothbard says here [in section (4) "Cutthroat" Competition] about why it is a non issue, then to explain why Rohbard is wrong.
My humble blog
It's easy to refute an argument if you first misrepresent it. William Keizer
Ask him why this doesn't happen now. The regulators (FTC/DOJ) don't see a case for every new store that opens in a market, so "predatory pricing" if possible, is still profitable. Especially regarding smallish businesses, they never get accused/taken to court over monopolistic pricing--it just isn't profitable for the courts to do so.
Tell him to go read Kevin Carson.
Big businesses do dominate the market... with the help of the State. And it is no surprise that prices go down when a new competitor enters the market, elementary economic theory predicts that this should happen. Businessmen cannot blindly plan as if their entrance into the market will not affect the market. If burgers are selling for $5 you cannot build your business plan so that it will fail if you cannot sell your burgers for at least $5. You need to be able to survive even if burger prices fall to $4.50 or $4 and this is the role of capitalization and part and parcel of why capitalism is so important. The businessman with a good idea and a good reputation can seek to partner with venture capitalists with an appetite for risk in search of returns. If he's sufficiently capitalized, he will be able to withstand market downturns or even organized attacks.
The most important point is to remember that "attacking" competitors with low prices, in a free market, is a recipe for bankruptcy. Selling below the optimal price results in losses not greater profits. The established player already has the advantage against the newcomer by virtue of the fact that he is operating in the black where the newcomer is almost invariably operating in the red. The established player is giving up that advantage if he slashes prices to "attack" the newcomer. A properly capitalized newcomer will be able to leverage such suicidal behavior to gain market share that much faster.
But when big business is holding hands with the State it has a partner with unlimited funds. Competition against an opponent with unlimited funds determined to drive any newcomers to bankruptcy through price wars is impossible. Wal-Mart's market cap is just $187 billion. That's just 10 days of US Federal government spending. I would much rather compete against Wal-Mart without the Feds than against a much smaller company with the Feds on their side.

Is the expectation of a price war a barrier in the market that keeps competitors out? For example, a company is the only provider of electricity to a small rural town, and can therefore demand monopoly prices. What keeps competitors out is the cost of building another landline. But competitors want to get some of those high profits too, so the first company can never raise prices above where it would be worthwhile to build another landline. But...! if they actually do that there would be a price war and neither company would make a lot of profits. Which means that building another landline is unlikely to be worth the cost. But the first company knows that, so it is free to raise prices as much as it wants.
So you pay higher prices for the increased burden it takes to get electricity or phone or cable services out to your middle-of-nowhere area. So what?
Why in the world should someone who chooses to live somewhere that it is more difficult to get services to him not have to shoulder the cost of getting those services? If you don't want to pay more, go live somewhere closer to what you want to buy. You don't want to pay $5/gallon for gasoline? Then don't live in Hawaii.
By the same token, if you want the benefit of lower prices from competition, don't live in a small town where there's one grocery store, one repair shop, and one appliance store. Hell. You're lucky those services are even there at all. Plenty of people have to drive for an hour or more just to get to a store of any kind.
Lots of great replies here. Thanks to all for the information.
I don't think I'll ever convert this socialist, but maybe the next one...
BTW I am not familiar with the verify answer system. I picked the one with the most information, but the others were good too.
What about the example of an organisation producing chairs within a town and then a big importer business opens up in town and starts selling chairs. They are importing the chairs from china and selling them by the 1000s. The local chair seller struggles to compete and goes out of business.
Another example is where you have two shops right next to each other selling the same thing and due to one being a franchise they can sell beer and other products cheaper. The non franchised one goes out of business.
So not necessarily "big business" but just improved production, distribution and logistics, this can cause a reduction in cost without any loss in quality. For the consumer cheaper prices and better products is a good thing, but it does happen in today's society and people do lose their businesses.
Why would he assume government beurocrats would do better than a private ubercompany? Had that been the case, we'd all be writing in French here, and New York would be Nouvelle Marseille.
John James:So you pay higher prices for the increased burden it takes to get electricity or phone or cable services out to your middle-of-nowhere area...
Yes, I know. You don't have to give me the rhetoric. I was asking whether this dilemma has a free market solution, like the predatory pricing one. Making it about rural electricity lines is just a way to easier illustrate the point. We can use any business instead. Say a cornflakes manufacturer has some natural advantage over it's competitors, so there is a slight barrier to entry and he has a large market share. In on itself that's nothing bad, people still get the best deal. If he tries to exploit his position beyond his natural advantage, others will compete with him because they want a piece of the pie. So the story goes. But, and here comes my question, competitors know that once they compete with him there will be a price war and not a lot of profit to be had, won't that act as a barrier to entry?

The old notion that stump land was good for nothing, not worth paying taxes ou, or attempting to improve, is fast becoming obsolete, and this land is now looked for by parties de- siriug to buy homes cheap. In evidence of the productiveness of this kind of land attention is called to what is known as the Beidler tract in Evart township. This land was lumbered over years ago, and thought to be good for nothing for farming purposes until quite recently when a portion of it was bought up by different parties among whom was B. B. Lyon and Geo. Ingersol who settled on a portion of it about one year ago. Mr. Lyon cleared and put in to corn about five acres which yieldexl a splendid crop, the same ground he sowed to wheat which looks as well as that on the best hard wood lands. Both of these men Will pat in this fall about 15 acres to wheat each, and Mr. Johnson, who is on the same tract, expects to put in 20, Wherever these lands have been improved the results have more than met the most sanguine expectation of the parties improving them.-'Evart "Review. t*"ii i< "Talmage. thinks there is a strife raging "in" the churches, "a show of ribbons." "This carnage of color is. seen all over the religious"1 assemblage, alone on the outskirts may ,fe*.see~.iL:pi,n»^ solid columns, ablaze all througn the service, five hundred broken and contrite hearts covered up in rainbows and spangles! All followers of the meek and lowly Nazerine! All in a jingle and a flash! Ten cents for the preacher, and one hundred for extra trappings. The church of God hung by the neck with gold chains, diamond • and locket! Unexperienced persoji traveling on two yards of dress- goods dragged by a lady going up the aisle in front of him. Diamonds and gold enough to pay the national debt. For graceful, modest apparel we have admiration, but not this strife in christian circles as to who shall excel in costly millinery. Our headgear worth more than souls, teetering and swaggering.up the aisles, to the disgust of all good men and the grief of angelse Enough money is expended in excess of requisite outlay for dress, to relieve all poverty, and educate all the ignorant, aud balk all the crime of ourlaud. We fear much of the piety of our ihurches is being smothered under .shirred basque and jabot ruffles. Some of our christian gentlemen have boots so tight they can hardly Walk in the paths of righteousness, and they feel in church more like swearing, than praying* The poor are kept out of church, because of their plain apparel looking so common in the contrast with the richer. We need a reform. We want, a great eclesiastiealreform. Take Paul to first Timothy, chapters, 8, 9,10 verses, also first Peter, 3rd chapter, 3, 4, 5 verses and dress as becometh those professing Godliness with good works. . . And by your example and modest costume subdue the extravagance, or show these religious peacocks out of the house of God. You cannot sail into heaven under such rigging. They would think you had false colors and would level their guns at you as being blockade runners. Coming up te the gate, the angels- would conimand a halt, and say, "you cannot come in!"

Sttu Because Mr. Green is no longer' a resident of the county, and tlio law, requires that the printing shall be, done within the county. This may. J)e_aceompHshjwlJ^^ in, reside in the countjybut it is evident that the law does not contemplate any such tricks and games and subterfuges, and that the official printer should actually reside in the county, or if he moves out after receiving the contract, that your honorable board should relet it to some Oijewho does actually reside in the county. 7th. Mr. Green had no legal or moral right to sub-let it to anyone; and it was not for him to say who should, or who should not do the county printing. If he could not do it himself, it was his duty to surrender his contract to the' board, and let the board say who should do it, This right belonged to the board of supervisors alone, and not to My. Green. Hence,.illegal and void. 8th. The county printing, as executed by the sub-contractor, has never been properly performed, having been done in a loose, slovenly, and incompetent manner. Take the Circuit Court C&lendar, for example.. It is printed on poor P'lPerr the pages are not lined at all, the leaves are not trimmed and the coyer is of common brown manilla paper. It was. condemned by every lawyer at the bar,, and was a disgrace to the printer-and the county alike. 9th. Because it was the beginning of a conspiracy to swindle the county at a future time. The laAV requires that the official printing -should be done by a newspaper published within the county, if such newspaper exists. Now there are two id the county. When there was" one only, the board was compelled to pay §150 p year for its printing. Now tbat proper takes it foi: less than oue-sixt__,' that sum, viz: $23. /This is' wholly to crush out opposition, leaving it the sole paper in the county, when it may chare any sum it sees fit, and the county can't help paying it. 10th, Because,, if the pounty printing is worth doing at all, it is worth paying" for at a fair price. 11th ."'Because, the proceedings of the'.board of supervisors should be printed in every paper published in the county, be there one paper or a hundred, and no discrimination should be made on account of favoritism or politics. Then the board shoidd establish a fair compensation therefor, which sum should be equally divided among all the newspapers in the county so printing the official proceedings. _ And your petitioner humbly prays; etc. .
