Candy Sales on Increase.
(Recorder, Salmon.)


Since Idaho went dry said candy
drummer who makes Salmon on his
route. since Idaho went dry | should
say that eight or ten times as much
candy as before is being consumed in
this state. Why, man alive, l myself
have sold enough of this sweetness for
my commissions on sales to amount to
$500 within the month of January. My
February sales were cut for the rea-
son that l was caught at Mackay for
10 days by the snow blockade.
THE only way for me to get out
was by way of the stage line to Sal
mon and from here l will take the
ever reliable Gilmore & Pittsburg for
the outside world. AS l was saying,
it is marvellous how the people have
taken to candy. A former saloon
keeper in one of the towns ! make
gave me carte blanche TO make him
UP an order for $500 worth of candy
and requested me, as he knew nothing
himself about the new business he
was entering, to fill in what | thought
he ought to have.
II should say that everybody is eat
ing sweets in place of the former
liquid indulgences which they took.
never imagined such a thing but it is
a solemn fact, nevertheless. Ask any
candy dealer and he will verify what
l am saying"

COMPETITORS AND
THE CUSTOMER.

AhL 1OAl IzAAD-
1T is problematical just what will
occur in business circles throughout
the world at the close Of the European
war, and referring TO this important
matter, the Saturday Evening Post
editorially says:
"Many capable men, including Pres
ident Wilson, think we shall have
little to fear from European compel
tition for many years after the war.
But it is quite certain that if we have
little to fear from Europe, we shall
have nothing in particular TO hope
for from her.
"A Europe that could not compete
with US would be Of very limited COM
mercial use to US. If peace finds the
belligenent nations so crippled and
poverty-stricken that they cannot re-
habilitate their own manufacturers
for a long time, they viii certainly be
too crippled and poverty-stricken t.
buy our manufactures.
IF wages fall to the starvation
point there will be few consumers OF
American wheat and bacon. The pru.
dent course is to look for the liveliest
competition we have ever met. If il
should not come we shall not have
lost anything"

CAT SAVED MISTRESS LIFE.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 5. - "Tige,"
a pretty gray and white Persian cat,
got in to the hero class recently by
saving its mistress, Mrs. Nellie Lu-
kens, from possible asphyxiation dur
ing a fire.
Mrs. Lukens was asleep in her room
on the third floor Of the building
when the fire broke out. The sound
Of the fire gongs in the street below,
and the sitting smoke that rapidly
filled the room failed to arouse her.
Mrs. Lukens said later that she was
slightly awakened by a few shrieking
"me-ows" but paid no attention until
she felt the sting of scratches on her
arm. When she opened her eyes she
found the cat on the bed with her,
she said, paving violently at her arm
and shoulder.
Firemen rushed in and ordered Mrs.
Lukens to leave the building, but she
refused to go until 'Tige" had beer
tucked in a basket and also carried tC
safety.
