If you would increase your happi-
ness and prolong your life, forget your
neighbours faults. Forget all the SIAN
ders you have ever heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget the fault find
ing and give little thought to the
cause which provoked them. Forget
the peculiarites Of your friends and
only remember the good points which
made you fond Of them. Forget all
personal quarrels Of histories you have
heard by accident, and which If re-
peated, would seem at thousands times
worse than they are. Blot out as far
as possible all the disagreeable things
of life; they will come but they will
only grow larger when you remember
them, and the constant thought of
the acts of meanness, or, worse still,
malice would only tend to make you
more familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yester.
day, start out with new clean sheet
for today, and write upon it for sweet
memory's sake only those things which
are lovely and loyable.

Republican policy has not caused
the rain or sunshine, but it has sup
piled and protected the market open
to the things the rain and the sun
shine have bought forth. Nature has
given the land, with all its latent pos
sibilities, but the land would be going
to waste If there were no marts for
what it yields. Industry has been
stimulated from certainty that its
efforts would not be for naught. A
glance back at the awful times of the
early nineties will recall to mind that
even then the acres were as fruitful,
and the hand of toll calloused by hon
est endeavor. There was the rain and
the sunshine. Harvest followed seed
time. Yet the looms were silent be.
cause none had the means to purchase,
To gather the crops was futile, fol

this atmosphere was the expression OF

And now comes the turn of the poor

Editors are the first to hear GOSSIP
or scandal, indiscretions of men anC
women, things unfit for publication,
intrigues, clandestine meetings, flirt-
ations of married women, night rides
young gone estray, rumors of married
men, and in fact all neighborhood
scandals. Editors generally know al
naughty doings in community, nc
matter how secret. If one-half they
hear were published, divorce, social
ostracism and other serious things
would surely result. There would be
shotguns and gore, imprisonment,
lynching, desolate homes, shame
humiliation and misery. The editor
also learns of much shame and hypoc-
risy of life, and it is wonder he
believes anything on earth or in the
hereafter. People who abuse him
often owe their standing in society
to his forbearance. Put this in your
pipe and smoke it.

1t ought not require much foresight
for the moneyed men of Logan to see
that something should be done here
to induce manufacturing, or Logan
will get on the toboggan. Other towns
of the west are hustling and profiting
by the hustle. What is Logan doing?
Standing still. We cannot long stand
still-we must either so forward or
observation-disclosures is no denying that
proposition. Let us do something
that will employ labor. If labor is
employed, capital circulates and bust
ness is good. If labor is not employed
everything stops. Too many men with
capital are setting upon it, 1t is per-
hapS earning the legal rate of interest
when it could be made TO earn double,
and labor would be benefited, the
town grow and prosper, and everybody
benefited thereby One little manu-
featuring establishment is worth more
to Logan than half dozen stores,
banks and restaurants. This town
has more than its share Of those, but
not its share of Institutions to employ
men to support stores, banks, resuau-

We have yearly advertising contracts
with the Sidney Stevens Implement
Co. and Ritter Bros. and are on a deal
for other of like kind. These con-
tracts call for weekly or semi-weekly
changes and i'm certain instances for
special positions. This is advertising
i'm the right way and in the way to
insure results. An adj, dropped in &C.
casionally counts for little or nothing
its the continuous adj, written and
set attractively and changed frequent
ly that brings the return for money
expended. 1t matters not how small
or large the ad. maybe, you must keep
everlastingly at it. The average mer-
chant seems to go on the idea that
when business is good he can afford
to advertise, when he should have the
opposite idea. Advertise in the right
way when business is dull and you will
be surprised at the number of dollars
that will be brought from their hiding
places. And another thing advertise
something staple, not old stock which
people don't want; advertise some
thing up-to-date at your closest price
and,when customers come to- your store
sell them that and everything else in
the shop. Advertising WILL bring
custom, but your clerks must sell the
goods-a newspaper can't do it all.
The remarkable success Of the firms
mentioned above evidence the result
of advertising combined with the
hustling qualities also necessary.

There is move on foot at Manti to
organize a Commercial Club and in
speaking of the matter The Messen-
ger hits the nail squarely on the head.
The Messengers little talk is so APP
plicable to the conditions here that we
presentthe article as follows:
Some of the Manti business men are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of organ
izing Commercial Club. 1t is to be hop
ed that they will do this at once and
that the first thing they do after Or
ganizing will be to do away with the
credit system and the mercant lie
houses throw their script out i'm the
back yard, as it is becoming more and
more evident that script is detria-
mcnt to the town in place of a benefit.
The cities of Nephi, Mt. Pleasant and
Ephraim are a cash basis and are reap
ing the benefits every day. We do not
thing this would work hardships on
the people but believe that in a very
few months they would be better of
and the business houses would be in a
better condition than they have been
since credit was first given.
No, the poorer class will not suffer
for the reason that they will be paid
cash for their work and can get theil
five cents Off on the dollar the same
as the wealthy are doing today. To-
day you can take one hundred dollars
to the store here and get one hundred
and five in script for it, then you car
