Don't Do II.

Not week passes but the local post
Office is flooded with circulars, bills
and invitations asking the people of
Troy to come to Moscow to spend
their cash. Don't do it. Spend your
money with the home people and by
SO doing build up your home town
rather than other communities at the
expense of Troy. A comparison Of
prices and quality of goods ought to
convince the purchaser that dollar
will go further right here at home than
it will in any other town in the county.
Because you can get a shoddy suit OF
clothes for five or six dollars it doesn't
follow that you got bargain. A fair
price for an article guaranteed to give
a years good service is much cheaper.
Don't be deceived. Your local mer-
chant will treat you better than the
venders of cheap and shoddy merchan-
disc Of so-called bargain store who's
sole desite is to capture the dollar.

Seven Dollars Short.

The cancellation for the quarter just
ended at the Troy post Office fell only
about seven dollars short of the amount
necessary to have placed Troy in the
third class. Had those who have
thoughtlessly mailed letters at the
train put their letters in the Office and
given it the cancellation the matter
would have been an easy one. The
fact remains, however that the postal
business at Tory is large enough to en-
title Troy to a better rating and we
hope the people will take enough in
terest in their town hereafter to give
the local Office the benefit of all the
postal business at this point. 1t will
now require at least twelve months
more before we can hope to accom-
plish the desired results. Begin now
to get the habit and mail all your let
tiers at the post office.

Now Mhat Do You Think Of That?.

A travelling man said to one OF our
business men the other day; I don't
usually stop in small towns, but on my
way down from Spokane I saw in a
paper an article which contained these
words: Troy, Idaho, the biggest little
town on earth" You may be sure
that my curiousity was aroused at
once and made up my mind to in
vestigate, and satisfy myself of the
truth Of those words. From what l
have seen I think that Troy has per

Beets For Feed.

James Canick has left at this Office
sample of stock beets grown on his
farm on American ridge. He says
they yield much better than carrots, it
being not unusual to get twenty tons
to the acre. They make excellent
stock feed, and are fine for milch COWS.
The samples left at this Office are very
large and would tend to bear out all
that is claimed for them by Mr.. Car
