"Them's Are Sentiments"

Kelly Pool, of the Centralia
Courier believes in doing everything
possible with his paper to make
a greater city and strikes the
proper keynote when he editorally
says:
The Courier has no kick COM
ing. The school board suits US, the
city fathers are to our liking, the
country ticket is splendid, the state
ticket could not be better, our con-
gresham is one of the state, Sena-
tor Stone is Wilson's right hand
man, the state platform is the best
in ten years. the Governor and
State officials are superb, Congress
is at WORK and the United States is
at peace, thanks to President Will
son. We never felt better satisfied
with the Democratic party in our
life. we have no brickbats to throw
at anyone. Our liver is working
o. X, we are getting our share of
business. we have no enemies that
we want to punish and everything
is lovely. If you are looking for any
nasty filings at man. bird or beast
don't take the .Courier-we have
none of the pole cats propensities
of making the air obnoxious for de-
cent people. With faith in God and
man this old fog horn of freedom is
radiating messages of good will and
good cheer.

"1001 Tests "
BY Harvey M. Wiley, M. D.

This book contains 1901 tests of
foods, beverages and toilet accessor-
les For a third Of a century the
fight for pure food has been waged
and it is not over yet. DR.. Wiley
has tested the foods we eat every
day. he tells what they contain and
whether fit for use or not and these
we'll known brands have been
weighed and found wanting in many
instances. A house keeper will soon
save the price of a book when she
knows that if she buys certain
brands she gets short weight and
adulterated foods. DR.. Wiley has
been fearless in his war against a.
dulteration, has always held up the
pure foods and condemned the i'm
pure. 1901 Tests will not only
prove to be a money saver but
guard to health as well.

The Wall of Partition"

By Florence Barclay.
This is the best book the author
of The Rosary has given us since
the publication of that popular book.
Like her other stories, the plot is
laid in England. We cannot tell
much of the story as it would spoil
it for those who have not yet had
the pleasure of reading it. We will
only say to those who have been
disappointed in Miss Barclays re-
cent stories that in this case there
is no mating of age with youth.
Read it. We think you will find
it well worth while.

One of the great men says that
one of the most unfortunate phases
of modern civilization is the drift
away from the farm. the drift of
the country youth to the city which
has an indescribable facination for
him. His vivid Imagination
clothes it with Arabian Nights pos
sibilities and joys. The country
seems tame and commonplace af-
ter his first dream of the city. To
him it is Synonymous with oppor-
tunity, with power. with pleasure
He can not rid himself of its facina-
ton until he tastes its emptiness.
He can not know the worth of the
glory of its advantages and oppor-
tunities until he has seen the shall
lowness and sham of the city

minority in the senate During his
service as a minority member, Sem

ator Stone has at all times been the
loyal friend of the administrati on

of the senate and he is also a
member of several other important
