There is common sense in spending
your money in the community where
you live.
The best method in which town
can pave its way TO success is to pave
its streets and improve the highways
leading therefrom.
The women of many small towns
have formed a local floral association
and are introducing plant and flower
culture into many homes.
A number of town officials are CO.
operating with the citizens of the town
in the planting of shade trees on all
the leading streets of villages.
1t is the poorest sort of economy to
have bad sidewalks. There are many
cases on record where the amount paid
as the result of accidents amounted to
more than enough to put the walks in
good shape. Any town can well afford
to bond itself for sidewalk repairs.

Those That Carry Only Diversified

An editorial article in the Agricultur-

ness, contains hint for those who
would compete successfully with the
big mail order store that carry every
thing, from Il hairpln TO a portable
house. The editor writes:
One of our eastern exchanges de-
votes a whole column of his valued
paper to an article on the mistake
that the present day merchant is max
ing in running general store.
This article endeavors to show that
the old rule of mo two things can be
done at the same time and done
right" Using this old rule in bearing
out his argument that where any mer-
chant tries to handle a multiplicity of
lines he cannot make a success of any
one, we do not in the least doubt the
sincerity of his belief. At one time in
the not distant past we were of the
same opinion. until we had our ideas
changed by first hand knowledge.
The most successful merchants of
the southwest, with the best conducted
stores, bringing TO their owners the
greatest margin of profit. are those
who have diversified lines. In fact.
the merchant who sells everything.
from a needle to a traction engine, is
the one who broadens. and when the
call of the big town reaches him he is
qualified to go into the fight against
his longer established competitor and
get share of that business which his
all around knowledge has taught him
how to talk about and handle.

In far too many towns the streets
are neglected and remain perpetual
menace to public health No cOmmu-
nifty that wishes to grow and prosper
should neglect its streets. Money jul
Idiciously spent in this work under the
supervision of competent engineer
is a safe and sure investment that will
be returned with compound interest.
In almost every town there is room
for improvement in this direction, and
each business man and householder
owes it to himself and his neighbor to
help along this necessary work.

SATURDAY EQUAL
: BY MRS. MINNIE J. REYNOLDS.
SUFFRAGE COLUMN

Down in the southeast corner of
Washington there Is one town that
is bound to 60 for equal suffrage
next election day, anyway. This is
Charleston. Charleston is on one side
the Snake river, in Washington, and
Lewiston is JUS across the river, in
Idaho. In Lewiston the women can
vote and in Charleston they can't.
There is a bridge between those
- towns, and women at one end
THAT bridge can vote and at the
other end they can't. If you walk
across that bridge into Idaho you
find that the women know enough
to vote; but II you walk across into
Washington you find that they don't
know enough to vote. Now this ia
funny, and whatever else may be
alleged against the American man,
he is never accused of lacking a
sense Of humor. And that's the rea-
son they all say in Charleston that
that town has got to 60 for suffrage
if.SH another one in the state does.

"Ah-Ah-don' know, ma'am," said
he; "Ah dom think All could sign

"All right. Jim," said she, you

"but you'll have to let me take dat

what she will serve, and just how

First she makes out her menu.
AS it's to be a 6 o'clock tea instead
of dinner, her task is easy. She
decides on cubed pineapples and
halved red cherries, served In sher-
bet glass, for the appetizer and
first course. The second course
will consist of thinly slic6G cold
meats garnished with cress, plain
old-fashioned potato salad, picked
beets served in side dishes, long,
narrow bread and butter sand.
wiches tied with red, white and
blue baby ribbon, red jelly, olives
or pickles. For the third and last
course she will serve her only hot
dish-strawberry shortcake - and
coffee.
And the decorations. Since ex-
pense must be considered, individ-
uality must come to the rescue and
compensate for the absence Of cot
