We received an interesting letter
from Walter Wohlhetter one day this
week and will take the liberty Of pub
fishing it in next weeks issue of the
Leader. Walter is employed in a
large mercantile establishment in Los
Angeles and the firm he works for are
firm believers in advertising. They
carry whole pages at a time and reap
profits %therefrom that would probably
surprise us. Mr.. Wohlheter, who is a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. l.. Wohlheter Of
this place, is a live and energetic bust
ness man. He is in position to know
of the benefits derived from printers
ink and in his letter next week tells
us in a very interesting way of the
value of advertising. He has made
suggestions which concern our own
home merchants and of which If car
ried out would be TO their financial well
being. Watch for next weeks issue.

Oscar Nygaard vas killed in an auto
mobile accident about 81 miles west
of Candy last Sunday. He had taken
a load of people some place and was
on his way home to Candy, alone. The
road where the accident occurred was
good, it is said, but he was evidently
speeding and lost control Of the car,
which turned over several times. An
other Candy citizen happened along
in his machine shortly after the acct
dent and took the unfortunate victim
who was still alive, to town, but death
came before the hospital was reached.
Mr.. Nygaard was a single mar and
about forty years Of He was a
resident of Candy but previously lived
on a farm north of that place.

PROPER CREDIT TO NOBODY
Simple Logic Easily Proves That Hs
Has Not Hitherto Been Treated
With Justice.

The time is now arrived when No
body should come to his own. Hitherto
Nobody has not been treated with JUS
tice. AS one of the most important
persons in America, Nobody should
have statues erected in all of u
principal cities. Let us, therefore,
consider the claims of Nobody. In the
first place, Nobody knows. Take, for
example, the currency bill, the tariff
schedules, the status OF philosophy,
or the art of the futurist. Nobody
knows about all of these things, when
all the rest are in entire ignorance.
Furthermore, if you want to know the
actual truth about these important
questions, and many more, Nobody is
the only one who can tell you. Every
body takes some interest in baseball,
movies, vaudeville, bridge and high
balls: but when it comes to all the
things which are known as vital, such
as government, slums, etc., who cares?
Why, Nobody cares. Nobody is, there
fore, our best citizen. Hurrah for
Nobody!-Life.

handed the receiver to him and he
met her confident, untroubled gaze for
a second. Instead of returning to the
sitting-room where she could have
heard everything that he said, she
went into her w room down the hall
and closed the door. He was not con-
scious of any intention to temporize,
but it was significant that he did not
speak until the deer closed behind
her. Afterwards he realized and was
ashamed.
Almost the first words that Yvonne
uttered were Of a nature to puzzle
and irritate him, although they bore
directly upon his own previously
formed resolution. Her voice, husky
and low, seemed strangely plaintive
and lifeless to him.
Have you and Lydia made any
plans for the afternoon?" she inquired.
He made haste to declare their inten-
ton to attend a concert. Il am glad
you are going to do that" she went on.
You will stay for luncheon with
Lydia?"
Yes. She's trying to pick up that
thing of Feverelli,s-the n we heard

Fable Up TO Date,

A counterfeiter was once walking
along a lonely side street when he
was stopped by a bold, bad robber.
The robber presented a large open
faced revolver and demanded coin. He
got it-about two gallons of lead dol
lars fresh from his victims private
mint.
Next day the robber bought himself
an automatic pistol of the latest de-
sign, a weapon which he had long COW
eted. He paid for the gun out of the
proceeds of his latest haul and was
Immediately hailed before a magis-
trate and sent up for a long term of
years for counterfeiting.

what you've Gone, they'll get you for
