WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Everybody is practically agreed
that good roads are needed to make
Moscow a great trade center.
Just exactly what are YOU doing to
advance the cause of good roads?
Are you merely looking out of your
store windows on a deserted business
street and growing because they" dc
not make better country roads?
Are you saying feebly or Grossly
that something ought to be DONE" or
that what has been done or is being
done is not right?
How much time have YOU personal
ly devoted to plan for building a
road system?
How much money have YOU offered
to contribute to road improvement?
How much effort have YOU made
to get the road authorities to use the
funds they have where they should use
them. when they should use them,
and as they should use them?
A sad headshake over the bad roads
around Moscow will not replace those
defective highways with good ones.
Railing at mistaken expenditures of
time and money will not cure those
pieces badly drained. those deep holes,
those rough surfaces.
This is the time this is the moment
when every business man in Moscow
needs to do something definite, prac-
tical, and useful for the cause of good
roads.
And, remember, the business men of
Moscow are not just merely the men
who have shops or stores along Main
street. Every person who. in any call
ing, is making his living in Moscow
is, for the effects of good roads, a bus
ness man of Moscow. There is not a
single individual living within the city |
limits of Moscow whose fortunes do !
not depend directly or indirectly on
the quality of the highways connecting
Moscow with the productive territory |
around us.

AN AROMATIC TRUTH

Hugh Chalmers, head of the great
Chalmers automobile corporation
said, 81 do not place advertising copy
with newspapers because l agree with
their editorials, but because they have
circulation and reach the people"
Mr.. Chalmers was talking of the
daily newspaper, and he said, News
papers are the best medium of public
ity."
This is a fact which no circulars,
no cards, no magazines, no other
forms of publicity have been able to
dispute the truth Of
The well-advertised event, commod-
ity, person, policy, or program is the
one that is advertised in the daily pa
per.
No happening and no individual and
no institution in Latah county can be
successfully advertised without the
use of the columns of the Daily Star
Miro.

A BUSINESS PROBATION

For their own business protection
it would pay the independent countr,
telephone companies to adopt rules
similar to those of city companies rel
alive to the length of time the tele-
phone can be used at one session by
a stock holder.
The other day man lost the sale OF
a COW because the women on his
country telephone line kept up their
chatter until the prospective buyer
lost patience and gave up trying to
connect with the owner OF the COW.
A farmer who advertises extensive
ly to sell his numerous pigs says he
has lost more than one chance for an
order because he could not get the
line to quote prices and to describe
his stock to an intending customer.
A woman who had an important
message to deliver to her husband
who was in town shopping at the
time, could not get her telephone line
before he had left the grocery store
and had started for home. This wom-
an and her husband wanted to sell 40
acres of land, and the man who want
ed to make a dead with them was in
town though the farmer did not know
it. The buyer, who was in hurry,
bought elsewhere because the farm
orc uyife wac kent from the telephone
until after her husband had left
Moscow.
1t is just plain ordinary, horse
sense that the person who monopol-
ICES the telephone for more than five
minutes is pretty certain to be inter-
fering with a neighbor's legitimate
rights in telephone use for business
purposes.

GOOD LETTER
FROM FRANK
sweeney

Canon City, Colo, Feb, %, 1916.
Mr.. A. L. Fontaine, Grand Rapids Wis
Dear Mr.. Fontaine:-No doubt many
of my Grand Rapids friends would be
glad to hear from me and | know of
no better medium than that thru the
columns of your paper. Often I have
been at the point of writing but as
usual, something would intervene and
it would be postponed until a more
convenient period.
But [ am daily reminded of Grand
eRapids for [ pass up and down our
streets and by some public buildings,
| frequently see a coal shute manufac-
tured by the Grand Rapids Foundry
Co, and if my memory serves me cor
rectly, Mr.. A. E. Roenius obtained a
patent on this shute about twenty or
twenty-one years ago. | believe
have seen no less than ten of these
shutes in the city and to me their
presence speaks volumes in praise of
particular Grand Rapids product, know
ing as | do that Pueblo, the great
-'Pittsburg of the West, where every
thing in iron is manufactured, is only
a two hours ride by auto or one hour
by rail from here The building in
which our office is located is supplied
with one, and while it has been broken
thru carelessness, it is still a daily re-
hinder to me of the city of my birth,
boyhood and youth.
Canon City is located in valley sur
rounded by the majestic Rocky Noun
tains. We are 5,343 feet above the
sea level and the air at all times is
rare and invigorating.
We are never troubled with that hui
mid atmosphere or sultry weather. It
is claimed that the sun shines here
during $50 days of the year. 1t is
three years ago today that | left Eau
Claire, Wis, for my new western
home and I can truthfully say that
during this time I cannot recall ten
days in any one year in which the sky
was entirely overcast and no sun
shone.
Canon City is blessed with ideal
weather the year around. About
Xmas time we picked some violets in
our front yard and for the past month
we have not needed our overcoats. We
had about one week of real cold wealth
ar in January, the mercury at that
time falling as low as six degrees be-
low zero. This may appear humor-
Gus to you who have as low as As de-
grees below zero as it was in '96 and
81, but to one accustomed to this
climate, zero weather is considered
cold. Colorado undoubtedly has the
best all-the-year around climate of

EAGLES GIVE
CARNIVAL
A Feast of Revelry Furnished People
of Grand Rapids. A Success In
Every Way.

| rom r TlQay Dally
In some respects yesterday was the
biggest day in the history of this
year, in that it was the day upon
which the Fraternal Order of Eagles
held their big carnival
The big affair took place in the
Amusement Hall and was success
from any angle your to look at.
Shortly after dinner, the people be-
gan to enter the building and soon the
calls of the ballyhoolers were heard
advertising the different booths.
You had the choice of many de-
vices to be separated from your coin
and everybody that went there, ex-
pected to leave something for the
| Eagles, because this carnival was ar
ranged so that the fund for the Big
| Convention in June might be swelled.
If there were any male human beings
who entered the Amusement hall yes
terday and did not part with some
| coin of the realm he ought to hang
his head in shame and be branded as
piker.
The live duck pond was a real nov
city and the ducks showed uncanny
ability to dodge the hoops that eager
people tried to throw over their heads
top.
Over on the west side, our coon
friends, Ernie and Tony, entertained
the masses in an endeavor to have
them try their luck with the paddles
and get a doll. Well, everyone tried
something at least once and some got
away with prizes. You could, if you
had considerable skill, get doll, a
big teddy bear, box of candy, pen
nant, pillow top and numerous articles
besides having a chance at the fish
pond and seeing Amigo Dick.
To say that the Amusement Hall
was crowded would be putting it mild
it was damned. If anyone did not
have a good time, it was his own
fault
Those who liked to trip the light
fantastic, INDUCED in that pastime
to the music of Ellis seven piece or
chestra.
The next big doings of the Eagles
will be the Easter Monday dance.
All these forms of entertainment
given by the Eagles are to raise funds
with which to help defray the ex-
penses of the state convention that
is to be held here in June Every
citizen should consider it his duty to
assist the Eagles in every way that he
possibly can as the coming of this
convention means the bringing of
thousands of citizens of the state of
Wisconsin and some neighboring
states to this city and it is a grand
opportunity for Grand Rapids to
make itself known as real up-to-
date city.
