And II Was So. selah.

In the beginning the ad man created
a simple story and the story was with
out selling argument and void. And
the spirits of business moved across
the boss's mind and the boss said:
Let there be interest created" and
there was interest created.
And the boss saw the interest that
1t was good, and he straightaway tried
to increase that interest.
And interest created doubt and
doubt led to deception, and deception
led to investigation, and investigation
led to discoveries, and discoveries led
TO determination. and determination
led to action.
And all of this was good for adver-
Using, but was not good for advertis-
ing unless the advertising was good.
The value of keenng your name be-
fore the public depends entirely on
what your name stands for.

Inspiration in Regret.

The life without regret is the life
Without gain. Regret is but the light
Of fuller wisdom from our past, IL
Illuminating our future. 1t means that
we are wiser today than we were yes
terday. This new wisdom means re-
sponsibility, new privileges; it is a
new chance for a better life. But If
regret remain merely regret" it is
useless; it must become the revelation
of new possibilities, and the inspira-
ton and source of strength TO realize
them, each other; as love Increases

A Very Sad Death

One of the saddest tasks which
we were ever called upon to per-
form is the chronicling of the
death of Mrs. Harry Smith,
whose untimely demise shocked
the people of this community last
Wednesday. Mrs. Smith had
always been picture of health
and happiness. She possessed a
sunny disposition and seemingly
the fates had no trouble in store
for her. Today she is sleeping
in her grave, while heart brok-
en- husband is left to mourn her
loss, and a little baby daughter
COOS innocently in her crib in
happy ignorance of the fact that
her mothers life was sacrificed
in bringing her into the world.
Funeral services were held at
their home near Nezperce Thurs
day, and afterward the remains
were followed to the Nezperce
cemetery by long procession of
sorrowing relatives and friends
and lowered into their last rest
ing place.
Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss
leila Quigley, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Quigley of this
place, and was married to H. E.
Smith, a prominent young farm
err of the Nezperce section about
three years ago. The sorrowing
relatives have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire community
in their sad affection.
