The Fargo Courier-News states that
it starts out the new year in much bet
ter shape than ever and says the past
months business was the best in its
history. DR.. Guild is giving Fargo an
excellent paper. Recently a number
of special editions have been issued
the Auditorium special being the best
ever. Guild has had hard pull since
he landed in Fargo a few years ago.
He invested $4,000 in the plant which
he had saved from his earnings while
preaching the gospel and for a time it
looked as tho he was going to lose his
"pile." Many friends are pleased to
see DR.. Guild and the Courier-News
prosper.

We have some subscribers who
every year aim to clean up all their
local accounts, so that they know just
where they are at when they start the
New Year. If they fall behind one
year and end up in debt they aim to
economic or retrench or else they
change their system in order if poss-
ible to make up their losses. They stop
the drains if possible and with hogs
cows, poultry, etc., try to increase and
make more certain their income for
the ensuing year. That is good man.

The Minot Typographical Union has
asked the 'bosses" to sign up con-
tract giving the printers a $40 mini
mum wage scale. The Independent is
perfectly willing to sign up, in fact at
present we are paying the scale and
for many years have been paying
more than the scale. We remember
thirteen years ago, we could employ
good printers for $12 a week, but liv-
ing was cheaper then. For years the
union scale has been SIG week and a
man cannot support his family prop
erly on such low wages. We believe
in paying our employees what they
can earn. We have a fine crew at pres

only question from a Umatilla county
standpoint is whether We shall at once
prepare to get the advantages of the
open river or shall sit back and allow
the benefits to go untaken for an in

The Walla walla Commercial Club

The walla walls people have fig

half what is now charged. If that
will be true from wallula it will be
true from Cold Springs.
In other words If We get connected
up with the open river by means of
a hard surface road we will be in line
to cut the wheat rate in half That
would mean a saving Of five cents a
bushel to the farmer. Estimate that
saving on the normal production Of
wheat in the county and the figures
will be something like a quarter OF a
million dollars annually.
With such opportunities in sight Of
what importance would be the cost
OF a hard surface road? II 1t should

remedy for these ugly blemishes, and
no one need stay freckled.
Simply get an ounce of othine,

and apply a little of it night and
morning. and in a few days you
should see that even the worst
freckles have begun to disappear,
while the light ones have vanished
entirely. Now is the time to rid your
self OF freckles, for If not removed
now they may stay all summer, and
spoil an otherwise beautiful complex
