ADVERTISING

Nothing better shows. the character of a city, nor better proves up the business growth and permanency, than the existence of a first-class, well edited, and well printed daily newspaper. A family looking for a home, or perhaps a widow with a family desiring to settle where she can economically bring up her chil- dren and also the man of means who desires to locate, with a new enter prise, all obtain their information from the newspaper directory or gag Zetteer
 Advertising space in the local daily is absolutely indispensable to the local merchant, who is alive, and is continually on the road to success. If he does not, he does, from actual statistics collected, one-half the bus mess that he could do if he did use the merchantile messenger service of the local daily
 The argument used by some mer- chants that they do not have to ad- vertise extensively in the local paper because everybody knows where they are and what they sell, has been over and over again proven to be false by the success made by the extensive advertisers who are sure to take the business away from the man who thinks that he can do business with

THE DEMUNDS DISPOSE
 OF MILLING INTERESTS
The Phoenix Flour Mills Have Passed Into New Hands.

c. F. and H. P. DeMund, who have been engaged in the flouring mill business in this city for the past ten years have disposed of their interest in the Phoenix Flour Mills to F. F. Kirkland, Dixon Fagenberg, William Studer and Henry George. Harry M. Kennedy, who has been in the firm for some time past still retains his interest. For four years C. E. and H. P. DeMund were engaged in the lumber business, but some time ago they disposed of their lumber inter- ests to the O'Malley Bros. The deal for the interest in the flour mills is said to have involved a sum in ex- cess of S10O,OOO.
 In retiring, MT. DeMund said that for the time that he has been inter- ested that the Touring mills had been fairly prosperous. but that just at the present time that they were working under a severe temporary handicap because of the high price of wheat.
 Mir. Charles DeMund and family left last evening for Portland, Ore, at which point they will spend the sum- mer. He still retains an interest in the Valley Realty company and will probably return to this city in the

tempt the growing Of tomatoes. They may be grown from the seed, or the young plants may be purchased from dealers and trausplanted in the kitchen garden. The latter is by far the simpler pan for the beginner. When the plants have been set out in rows in the garden. and now is just the proper time for this work. water them daily and keep the ground around them well-worked. Watch for the bugs and take care that the vines are not broken.
 Just a few brief hints like the above and the woman gardener will soon tind that she is eagerly looking for further in formation as to the running of her gar den. There Is always work to do, and the results obtained are straightway visi- ble, so that 1t does not seem a loves labor lost. Indeed, the further one goes into it the more fascinating 1t becomes. and woman who has once had a garden and delved and digged and worked 1t, cannot let the spring and the early sum mer pass without donning her sunbonnet and her gloves and taking her morning exercise in this most delightful of pas times.
