THERE IS NO TIME TO REST IN

The important fact in the man

for business regularly on all busi-
ness days. This fact makes it i'm
portant that the pulling power, the

be as steady as the service of clerks.
There is no time when the ad-
vertising can be suspended without
doing injury to the store-just as
sure and positive injury as would
be done by suspending any ether
function Of the store for day or
two now and then.
For advertising has come to be

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1908
LEWISTON THE FOCUS FOR
GREAT COMMERCE.

y e. BY its location at the confluence of
the Clearwater and Snake rivers,
Lewiston is the commercial outlet of
great agricultural funnel that
makes tributary the immense ma
tural resources of vast territory.
1t is estimated that from grain alone
the farmers of this region have this
year received $5,0O0.OOO Live stock
products represent 100000 more.
and fruit and dairy outputs more
than a million Of dollars more. The
mines and forests contribute enough
to make the aggregate over 100000
900. which naturally flows toward
this city.
As the metropolis OF such a region
Lewiston has possibilities that are
but dimly comprehended, as yet,
even by those best informed in such
matters. Could the full truth be
generally realized. 1t would give the
city new and wonderful impetus in
growth and development. The pres
ent wealth of the Lewiston coun-
try is enough, but the possibilities
Of future industrial development are
Infinitely greater. A wide awake
business attitude of the community
will bring the benefits OF such growth
to this place, where II belongs, but
4 spirit Of Indifference will divert
much of 1t in other directions. Lew
iston needs only to grasp It's natur-
al opportunities to grow in great
ness.

GIVING CUBA A NEW TRIAL.


On New Years day Uncle Sam
will begin to withdraw his troops
from Cuba. as the beginning of the
evacuation of American forces
which have been in possession since
October. 1906. a little over two years
In ALL 1t Is said that small body
Of troops will remain until April /.
awaiting the formation Of the new
Dermanent Cuban army.
The American forces depart with
the best Of feeling on the part OF the
Cuban people. American rule has
completely restored peace, having
reeonciled the warning factions in
the Island. and secured an express
don Of the popular will In the choice
Of new onacials. Sanitary reforms.
good roads and other valuable Inn
provements have been made under
American auspices.
The Island was never in better
condition for home rule. The peo-
pie have had several kinds OF object
lessons in such matters, and should
be ready for self-government. II the
present experiment fails, It Is prob
able that the United States govern
ment will take permanent possession,
either through provisional govern
ment or by annexation. The latter
IL favored by both Spanish and Amer
lean elements Of the Island. A stable
9overn mpnt must come before the
rich resources of the Island can be
properly developed. Capital is shy

condition Of things political. 1t re-
mains with the people OF Cuba to
prove their power of self-govern-
meut in their coming period OF pro-
baton.

IMPROVEMENT OF FARM LIFE.

The ideal farm life and the real
farm life are often widely different.
'lhe ideal seems too good to be true
and the real seems too true to be
good. This Is because the natural
advantages OF farm life have been
overlooked and ignored in the gilt
! tering but artificial and unsatisfy-
ing allurements of city life. The
farmer can be and usually Is, the
most Independent OF men. He should.
therefore, be also the happiest, but
such is not always the case.
The farmer is SO independent In
his ideas that the recent proposal
OF President Roosevelt to seek the
improvement OF farm conditions
was resented by some farmers as an
invasion of their personal rights to
be as uncomfortable or as 20 fort
able as they choose to be. without
trying to share such conditions with
others. OF course. the objections
made to the presidents proposition
were due either to selfishness or to
ignorance.
The movement initiated by the
president for the uplift of the rural
population included the improve
ment Of country schools, the Inn
provement Of country roads. the es-
tablishment OF social centers In rur-
n communities, and development Of
. social life which shall be attrac-
tive enough to counteract the gre
garious instinct always tending to-
draw people together into towns:
the Improvement and broadening Of
