Can't Afford 1t.

The other day a merchant said he
couldn't afford to advertise in his
home newspaper. If the mans view
were not distorted, he would see that
he couldn't afford not to advertise.
Refusing to advertise is his most ex-
travagance. That same merchant will
spend hours telling of the unfair"
cOmpitition of the mail-order houses
who are his most aggressive and dam
gerous competitors, yet the methods
employed by the mail-order houses
which succeed are the very ones
which the merchant refuses to use
The mail-order house first of all is
an ADVERTISER. Advertising is
the life of it's business Every maya
zine that enters the small town and
rural home carries the ad of the mail
order house. Expensive catalOgs are
printed showing the illustration of
the actual articles. Occasionally sheets
are scattered broadcast over the coun-
try as a special "come-on" for the
bargain hunter. Instead of doing these
things in a smaller way through the
columns of his local paper, the mer-
chant who can't afford to advertise
sits down and "cusses" his tough luck
and wonders why he can't get the bus
mess. He never thinks he has a bet
ter opportunity to reach the people in
his neighborhood than the mail order
house has. 1t doesn't cost him as
much as it does the outsider; he can
draw the people to his store and show
them the actual article he is adver-
Using, and, when they buy, they can
take their purchase home with them
instead of having to wait for several
weeks for it. Advertising is an in
vestment. 1t should be charged to
your selling cost. Figure what per-
centage you have to pay to advertise,
then base fifty-twO weeks campaign
on the computation. You can't lose.
You can't afford NOT to advertise.

The treasury department has
ordered a further withdrawal
of government funds from the
national bank depositaries, and
by the end Of this month more
than eight millions will have
been thus transferred from the
local banks to the regional re-
serve banks. The government
will lose the two per cent inter-
est which it now receives on
these deposits, but it is believed
that the transfer will have the
effect Of forcing the national
banks to rediscount their COM
mercial paper with the regional
reserve banks. This would en-
able the reserve bank system to
pay expenses, which it has
never yet been able to do. But
it can hardly be argued that a
banking system which requires
artificial forcing of this kind to
make it profitable is altogether
an unmiXed success.

Theodore Douglas Robinson,

Theodore Douglas Robinson,
once chairman of the progress
Sive state committee of New
York and always nephew of the
Colonel, advised all progress
sives in New York state to en-
roll with the republicans this
year upon the ground that the
advanced principles which they
espouse "can best be carried
forward through the medium Of
the republican party" This is
sound common sense. 1t has
already been put into practice
by most progressives and in
1915 there will be no republic
can division which will again
put a minority party in control

afternoon of last week, two negroes,
both roustabouts of the circus, got in
to a fight. One of them picked up an
axe and struck the other in the back,
making an ugly wound. The injured

went with the show, and the proprie-
tors said they would send him to a
hospital in Chicago. The other negro

WINS Harvard SCHOLARSHIP.
Bernard Coyne Takes First Of Highest
Grade in Competitive Examination.

Formal notice was received last week
by Bernard Coyne that in the competi-
tive examination for the Harvard
scholarship of three hundred dollars, in
which he was an entrant from this
state, that he took first place. The
scholarship is offered by the Harvard
club consisting of alumnae members of
that school, residents In Idaho.
Bernard went up to Spokane in June
and took the examination, that place
being closer than Boise The report of
the results came in Monday of last
week All that isl required further
than the examination are certificates Of
department. and good character to be
furnished by men Of affairs in the COM
munity and by Superintendent Rice.
These have been forwarded to Boise.
III taking this examination the young
man competed with graduates of Boise
high school and from other high schools
of the state. He graduated this year.
+ This emphasizes the fact that the OPP
portunities afforded for high school
work here in Grangeville are equal to
the best in the state and should be a
source of great qualification to every
one in the community. But in consid-
ering this matter it is important that
one should not overlook the main thing,
and that the work of the individual,
and his or her efforts in getting the
most out of school work. The young
man deserves great praise for this. He
has covered himself and the school with
glory.

THAT BACKWARD BOY.

Now would be good time to have
the eyes of your boy or girl attended to
that showed symptoms of weak eyes
last term of school. The backward or
unprogressive boy or girl in school is
usually the child with the hidden eye
defect that teacher, parent and regular
doctor cannot detect. We have even
seen or known of eye examiners to over
look eye defects in young children be-
cause the focusing muscles in the childs
eyes were SO extremely active as to
lead the examiner astray. We have
cases on our books that verify the
above. Few people realize to what ex-
tent children are weakened and made
to dislike all book study because Of
some existing eye defect; this y often
overlooked and left uncorrected, and
the defects grow and become "set, -
then the child is saddled for life with a
defect of the eyes that require the con-
slant wearing of glasses, this to re-
lieve the nervous and head troubles
brought on by the eye defects. The
glasses are then clutches to the eyes
and seldom dispensed with after. The
thoughtful parent who looks into the
future will try to see that their child 4
eyes are protected in the Formative
period to avoid the wearing Of glasses
in the future. If you wish honest and
reliable information regarding your
eyes, have them thoroughly examined
by DIR. W. s. JACKSON, the Eyesigh,
Specialist, in A. & F. Block, Main St.
