sion will be enhanced by much Information

make 1t invaluable as a gospel OF immlsra-
fion.
The progress and resources of Southern
California will be reflected by five illustra-
ted articles on the counties of Los Angeles,
Riverside. Orange, San Bernardino ana
San Diego. An article describing the won
derful railroad development in Southern

cal society, will write of the society 3 WORK

THE NEW CUPID

He gazeG at me without surprise,
Quite calmly and collectedly,
l scarcely could believe my eyes,
We met so Unexpectedly.
Yet he il was beyond doubt,
A visible reality,
For little wings were sprouting out
Not granted to mortality.
But where the arrows, where the bow,
Employed with such dexterity?
The quiver, too? | did not know,
And asked in all sincerity.
A frown appeared upon his brow,
He answered me with chilliness,
"Theyre antiquated weapons now,
To use them would be Stiffness.
For mortals grow, from year to year,
More highly intellectual;
have some little missiles here
That always prove effectual.
I sling them forth-they're sterling gold;
A few may miss, conceivably.
But any heart that's harG or cold
They damage irretrievably."
"By force of gold! Oh. Cupid! think
The foul, debasing force 1t is.
Is this your boast?' He gave a wink,
And answered, "Why, of course 1t is;
/ saw my chance when Cupid died,
And seized 1t with avidfty"
"Then who on earth are you?" I cried.
He smiled and said, "Cupidity."

A LITTLE MIXED

Those KentuckianS are keeping up a
an alleged wholesale scheme of bribery
charges against the Republican candi-
date for the United States senate. One
would infer from a perusal of the dis
patches from Frankfort that the epi-
demic of bribery had just made itself
manifest in Kentucky for the first time.
The plain fact of the matter is, however,
that the "barI' which carried the state
of Kentucky against Bryan was not
quite exhausted at the close of the pres
idential campaign. The indignant ju-
rors and peace officers who are now forg-
ing indictments against Godfrey Hunt
er, the aspiring congressman, must
surely have known of the Services
of that gentleman and his fellow con-
gressman, Wilson, whom they likewise
seek to indict during the late presiden-
tial canvass. Hunters bravado in the
presence of overwhelming evidence in
support Of the accusations of bribery
against him is very characteristic of
his plan of campaign. He desires a seat
in the United States senate and if the
s'bar'l' plan was the proper course by
which to secure presidential electors,
why should it not apply to the selec-
hon of a senator as well? There is
logic in that. Hunter is logician. He

In-the long run you don't make a single cent by sending away, and
every time you do, it will prove a boomerang. OF course we UNDER
stand that you don't owe US anything, and that you have a right to
do as you please. The people who send away may be so am-fred
rich and independent that they don't care whether their property is
worth anything or not, but we doubt it. If they are it would be bet
ter if they would move to Chicago, or Des Moines or Omaha, then
they would at least save express or freight charges, and at the same
time make a place in this community for someone who would be
willing to spend the money they make with the people they make

Three Reasons for.
....SENDING AWAY

HERE are three reasons for sending away for what you want.
They are idocy, selfshness and dead merchants. liza merchant
makes no effort to provide his customers with up to-date goods
= ."s'sts on having war-times prices, then we would not blame any
y Q sending away. But if your home dealer is doing all in his
power to place at your disposal line of goods equal in style, and at
IS low prices, as the far away city stores, or Montgomery, Ward &
= tnen you should by all the laws of man, encourage him by buy
ing everything you can from him, and by so doing spur him on to
suil larger and better effort.
recently a gentleman was examining some shirts in a clothing
store and while he admitted that the style was right, the price was
right, ne would not buy them because, as he said, every .hobo" in
Town would have one Just like it, so he thought he would not buy
until he went to Omaha.
lha Incident illustrates idiocy better than we could explain it.
ms man is altogether too good for this community and should
get out of it. When a man is so particular that he can't wear a
Shirt like anyone else has, he had better start a factory or get off the
earth.
We wonder if the people who own property or have even small
financial interest in a community, realize, thatif everyone would be
as selfisf, as they, that their property would deteriorate in value to
about whatit was worth when Iowa was first settled. Or their
means Of making a living would be taken away.
why $ a farm or property near or in Chicago worth many times
as much as one of equal size near or in Audubon? Probably a farm
near Audubon would produce just as many bushels of grain a one
near Chicago. Nor could you build a larger building on a fty-foot
lot In Chicago than you could in Audubon. Why sit that property
values are always higher in and near large towns than near small
places3 Isn't it because the better the town the more farms and
property are worth?
The fact that Audubon has the reputation of being one of the best
small towns in the state adds to the value of every foot of realestate
In and adjacent to the town. We know farmers, and merchants and
professional men, too, who, it seems to us, never think that every
time they send away for what they have to buy, that they indirectly
injure themselves as well as the local merchant. Perhaps they argue
to themselves that THEY will send away and leave to others the
boris property. Perhaps they think no one will know it. But 1T s

THE SWORD OF BALAM

And now the Los Angeles Herald rises
up and calls it Balaam Alger. Truly,
those Los Angeles papers are great at
calling names. We would have called him
the fellow that Balaam rode.-San Pedro
Times.
This reminds us of an Australian story.
Some time in the middle sixties an enter
prlsing lrishman started up small thri-
penny museum in Melbourne. Among his
curiosities was long cutlass marked "the
sword Of Balaam." One day a Baptist
minister came in with several friends and
examined the curios in the place Finally
ne came upon the cutlass in question and
called up the proprietor, who was acting
as clcerone to some other visitors:
lew yew mean to assert that this is
the sword of Balaamr' queried the Rev
Demetrius Devildodger.
is, sor, that's the very swoord he kilt
the Jackass wild" replied the manager
We'll, my friend. your biblical history is
sadly at fault. Balaam didn't have any
sword at all. He merely wished for one. u
we'll sor, that swoord is the very war
ne was luckin' for" said the ready-witted
manager.-Los Angeles Phoenix.
