kENDNlCk IDAHO, FIR
If fortunes wheel does not turn
to suit you put your own shoulder
to it.
Some people can see nothing good
in their own town. Everything
looks as small as themselves.
1t is easier to find fault than to
do right; easier to point the way
than to lead it.
If you can't do anything else to
help along, just smile. If you want
to live in peace, and prosper, just
smile.
A man usually prides himself on
being the brains of the family but
is perfectly willing to allow his wife
a corner on the morals of the house.
hold.
If you want to see your city pros
per put some effort into yourself.
Don't expect the other fellow to do
it all.
The demand for public pie on the
part of the patriots of the state,
anxious to serve the people seems
to be as insistent as ever, judging
from the political announcements.
Looking at the subject of silver
from any standpoint all conclusions
seem to agree that the higher prices
will continue for number of years
to come. On that expectation we
may confidently look forward to
increasing mining activity in all the
silver producing districts of Idaho.
The Caldwell Tribune says:-Suc-
cess at the general election this fall
is not all. We would rather go
down to defeat with Republican
candidate than follow Colonel Roose-
welt to success. Such success would
be the most costly success that this
people ever experienced. The Tri-
bune would rather see President
Wilson with all his faults, reelected
than see the Republican party sub
verified to the ambitions Of a not too
scrupulous politician of the Roose-
welt type.
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
There is one man whom Latah
county, irrespective of party politics,
should delight to honor-that man
is Jerry Day. That he has more
than fighting chance at the Poca-
tello convention for National Com
mitteeman, even his opponents free
ly admit. If the Latah delegation
backs him, as it will, he will I'M
doubtedly pull through.
To the average man the Office of
National Committeeman means little
and ordinarily that is true, but Idaho
is in peculiar position at this time.
The federal patronage is usually
dominated by. members of Congress
and the committeeman has little in
fuence, but today our Congressman
are not in sympathy with the Nation
al administration and therefore have
absolutely no influence in the dis
tribution of federal patronage. The
present National Committeeman,
Robert H. Elder, has the same in
fiuence in the distribution of federal
patronage as our four Congressman
would have were the administration
republican. Thus it is easily seen
that the office at this time is one of
unusual influence and it needs a
man about the size of Jerry Day to
meet its responsibilities.
The Democratic party at the pre-
sent time is in bad shape in Idaho.
This fight over National Committee

Idlu Will surely 1OllOW.
KENDRICK IS IMPROVING
Not since the fire has Kendrick
appeared so prosperous. All the
business houses in town and practic-
ally all Of the residences are occu-
pied.
During the past year a fine ga
rage, creamery, and electric light
plant have been built and a grain
elevator is under construction at
the present time. Two new hard
ware stores have started business,
carpenter shop and a barber shop
installed, a concrete silo factory
started and a town park laid out.
This surely looks like prosperity.
It is not a boom by any means, but
a good, healthy growth and it puts
Kendrick in line for the splendid
wave of prosperity that seems so
certain to come in the near future.
MISS REDFIELD A CANDIDATE
Miss Redfield, whose announce
ment for candidacy on the Republi-
can ticket for State Superintendent
of Public Instruction appears in this
issue was born at Kamiah, Idaho.
She is college graduate, and has
had number Of years experience
in rural, grade and high schools,
much of which has been in Idaho.
She has served two terms as county
superintendent of Nez Perez County.
The announcement of her candidacy
for State Superintendent has
brought forth expressions of en-
dorsement from many prominent
educators and business people of
the state as we'll as from Miss Nc
Coy, State Superintendent, who has
announced that she will not be
candidate for the office another
term.
Approximately ninety per cent of
business men fail. While farming
has not been classed as a business,
being more often referred to as an
occupation, it is becoming more
apparent every year that farmers
to be successful must use business
methods. The increased cost of
production, the high price of land
and the pronounced fluctuations in
market values are all matters that
must be considered and properly
handled by the farmer of today if
he is to be classed as one of the
ten rather than one of the ninety.
The usual reports are being cir
culated that the late frosts have
killed the fruit. This is the annual
spring song of the pessimist but we
will all eat the usual amount of
fruit this season. 1t is very seldom
that frosts do much damage in the
Potlatch. Probably the straw
berry crop, in an exceptional season,
is damaged to some extent but who
ever heard of a failure of the crop
here, occasioned by frost?

The poor, country editor gets it
going and coming for the errors he
makes in his paper but receives no
credit for correcting the mistakes
of others. Of course he deserves
all he gets though.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1916-05-19

1t seems to be the general idea
that an advertisement inserted in
a newspaper ought to find a ready
market for any article so advertised.
The idea is wrong, however. A
newspaper ad will not sell an article
but it will bring the fact before
the public that such an article is for
sale. If any one wishes to buy, a
sale can be made; if not, the news
paper is said to be no good and
advertising doesn't pay.
