What and Why IS AmerIcan FaIIsl

What and Why Is American Fallsl
IL is a growing city OF 1850 peo-
pie. It's future growth nd prosperity
depends on these people. as we will
show.
Why should man bring his family
to American Falls. Because American
Falls offers him opportunities to pro-
vide for them-whether in a business
way or farming. American Falls offers
his family social and pleasure attrac-
tions. 1t is very pleasant to live in
American Falls.
When this man brings his family
here, he has In mind making 1t his
home for good. He is going to spend
all his efforts and time to build up
that home. He is investing his labor
to provide for his family. A city
built by men like this will always
grow and prosper.
The more attractive he makes his
home, the more valuable It becomes.
In ten years. his original investment
will double and triple. If American
Falls. as a whole, keeps pace with
him.
The merchant coming to American
Falls to go into business, sees at a
glance that 1t is a hustiing and bust
ling city. Its people work and are
always improving. This gives him
conddence-he sees his way of in
vesting in a stock of goods and opens
up to serve the people with the neces-
stiles of luxuries of life. He secures
the best goods made. He wants to
give to the people of the community
the best possible at a reasonable cost
to them and a reasonable profit to
himself. Thereby. n more store is
added to the business district of the
town. And so Il keeps going. more
and more people locating. and more
and more business concerns investing
money in goods and in the present
and future prosperity of American
Falls.
And so we have a city going for
ward of It's own volition-building It
self up-getting more prosperous and
Offering more opportunities to outsid-
ers. This is what happens when we
are helping forward our home town."
The local business man is patronized
he takes your dollar and puts 1t I'm

II to a local landlord-uses It in buy
ing his personal necessities and those
of his family part OF It goes for local
amusements, or invests II in a lot for
his home. And so the dollar stays In
the country and accomplishes a great
deal towards the building OF a town.
One can easily see by that dollar go

would not happen-the landlord might
not get all his rent-last years suit

Webster Defines Shining as "ViOlat-
a Duty.
1t is the duty of every man, woman
and child in American Falls to help
build up the city-to make it pros
porous and make it grow-to encour-
age outsiders to come in. When you
send east or north or south or west
to "replenish your wardrobe"-to pur-
chase new furniture for your home"
when you send your money to mail
order houses-do you realize that you
are SHINING AGAINST YOUR HOME

you are. You are laughing at your
local neutrality-suspicious. the need
ed municipal improvements-decreas
ing the value of Idaho soil-discourag-
ing the most worthy efforts to cater
to your every wish-fooling yourself
by sending that dollar out of town.
1t is natural for every person living
in American Falls to desire to pur-
chase the best of all that makes life
worth living. From a personal stand
point-clothing, hats, underwear, food
confectionery and the innumerable
pleasures and %recreations so neces-

arrived from Buenos Ayres that the Ar

Concentrated buying by big interests
had much to do with maintaining the mp
ward tendency of corn, when the weak
ness that had prevailed was conquered.
Shorts were active in covering on the
rally.
Wheat prices rebounded In a manner
that suggested some Independent strength.
More attention was given to the fact that
snow protection had been greatly reduced
throughout the winter crop belt. The
early weakness of corn however, acted
severe handicap on hullish senti-
ment regarding wheat, and gave the mar
ket subordinate place.
In oats the feature was active buying

Hubbard Bros. 4 Co.'S Letter

New York, January Especial ITO.
DAY government gining report was con
sidered bullish. as instead OF 10000 bales
as expected 1t showed about 100000 for the
period As the market was heavily short
II advanced easily when good buying or.
ders appeared. As the government esti.
mate for the crop In December was ba sed
on 500 pound bales. 1t is thought that these
ngures tend to confirm the ideas OF
around 1890, 10000 for the crop. Natur-
ally on a sharp advance like this mills did
not follow, although the trade were good
buyers, anticipating a better spot de.
mand. New England reported more in
quiry. but tendency to await a reac,
tion before purchasing on the idea that
the market usually eases after an advance
on n report. The feeling here IL more
cheerful, as II Is felt that 1t is a long
time yet before new crop prospects will
be a leading factor, and that in the mean
time there will be sufficient trade dema nd
to prevent any material decline in the
market.
