PUSH THE PUSHER

II you want a live town, push the
hustler. Few towns are without men
who have more push and energy than
means To carry out their plans, says
the Kcifer Okla ScarChlight. Per-
hapS the hustler may occasionally
make mistake, possibly he may
Overreach in his efforts to build up
the town. Better thus than not to do
IL at ALL II you have such man in
town, keep him going, help him push
He may become weary at times and
should be encouraged. Don't get jcal-
Gus and throw cold water upon his
efforts. 1t is more diilicult to build
up than tear down. That is why so
many are engaged in destroying what
the few are creating. a half dozen
active men in a town are worth more
than a hundred passive men. No at
tention should be given the nnminally
rich men OF a town. They are not
usually liberal. 1t takes more enter
prise than money to build up Il town.
Get behind the hustler and keep push
ing: don't pull back. If you cant
push, crawl out OF sight and sit down.
II you can't say a good word, say
nothing.

1t certainly looks like a tough win
ter, for we have already had more cold
weather than prevailed for the last
two winters. We have noticed, how
ever, that an early winter like the
nresrnt one means that the spring
will open up sooner and this is what
we want. The last three springs have
heen so cold and belated as to very
materially interfere with the success
nf our agriculture and it is now time
tn have the tables turned. Then the
great quantity of snow that has thus
far fallen is surely godsend to spell
prosperity next year. Every foot OF
snow hacked away on the range now
is worth five feet in the spring. III Is
probably true that the weather has
worked some hardship on the farmers

The Dollar That Cam 'lc:

By Herbert Kaufman

Every dollar spent in advertising IS not only a seed dollar which gro70s b,Yht for the merchant but is actually ,ctained by him even aflcr he haS paid t to hhe bnbhsher.
 Advertising creates good 7OW worth the cost of the publicity.
 It actually costs nothing. While # nses funds it does not We them ab. It helps the founder of a business to grow rich and at the same time keebs his business from not dying when he does.

 It is really an Wsu1unce policy which costs nothing-bays a premium each year instead of cazkiug tor one, and renders it possible to change the entire personnel of business without disturbing its prosperity.
 Advertising renders the bNsiness stronger than the man-independen of his presence. It permanentizes systems of merchandising, the track of which is left for others to follow

Val FNTINE DAY
Is NEAR AT HAND.
Historic and Romantic Day Of
the Year is Looked
Forward To.

February fourteenth is Valentine
Day
The announcement is nothing new
or startling. Valentine Day is Feb
ruary IL every year, and has been
since about the year three hundred.
But It is not too early for merchants
to begin preparing for the event. as
they are now doing.
First shipments for this years val
entines now are arriving in clarks-
burg. There is an infinite number
of them-all kinds, all sizes, ali prices
There are pretty ones. very pretty
one. worth any where from ten cents
up to as many dollars. And then
there are the so-called funny valen-
tines.
Fewer funny" valentines are sold
every year here. according to several
dealers who handle such stock. When
comic valentines. first made their APP
pearance in local markets, they at
once sprang into favor Their sale
was astounding. so 1t is no wonder
dealers paid so much attention TO
them.
Their prices had to be. reduced
through competition. Gradually the
funny gave way to the vulgar.
nowadays over one-half of these al
legged funny valentines are such as no
friend would send to another. The
general public liking for them has
decreased.
The custom of sending valentines
on ST. Valentines Day is an ancient
one. Modern valentines-billets of
good wlll-had their original away
back in the year three hundred or so.
The present day valentines are named
after ST. Valentine.
st. Valentine was a holy priest in
Rome. who, with Marius and his
family assisted the martyrs in the
persecution under Cladius II. He
ives apprehended and beaten with
clubs because he would not deny his
faith in Jesus Christ Afterwards ne
was beheaded about the year go.

church near Ponte Mole to his
memory. which for a long time gave
name to the gate now called Porta
Del Popolo formerly Porta Valentino.
The greater part of the saints relics
now are in the church of Praxedes.
In st. Valentines time and before
his day there had been custom
among the heathens OF boys draw
ing girls names in honor of their
goddess. Februata Juno. or February
fourteenth. To abolish this lewd
custom. jealous pastors following up
on the death of st. Valentine. substi-
tuted, the. names of saints in billets
given on this day.
The cusom OF calling them valen-
tines in honor Of st Valentine. rap
idly increased in favor until now
recognized by this name all over the
civilized world.
