The writer in his business of wait
ing on the public sees a great many
eyes, but the one he wants to speak
, of is the variety known as the evil
eye, which never sees any good in any
one except the undersigned. A per
son with an evil eye can sit in front
of window and see more crookedness
than any person on earth, unless it be
an investigating committee on the en-
forcement of the law. The best eye
is the open-faced one, which looks
straight at you without, lodging or
looking for some place to hide be-
hind.
! We were pleased TO meet one old
time friend. William ZOok, of Rippey,

Der of years. He is one OF the oldest

number of years yet.

The fact that il pays to advertise
was fully demonstrated to us the
past week. One day during the week
two young men called and wanted
work on the farm. They asked for the
Herald, which was given them. They
read it and returned the paper, eX-
planning that they We're looking for an
ad for farm help, but had failed TO
find one. We informed them that
there might be such an al in the OF
| tumwa Courier and upon investiga'
ton one was found. We wrote each
one letter of Introduction and four
days afterwards they wrote us that
they had found work and were well
pleased with the jobs. We want Her
aid readers to catch on and when they
want this kind of help to say SO
Through a want ad.
We want to pun our hat off to the
Sewers correspondent on his letter
