A TRUE STORY.

A small boy stood in the back
yard watchina his father while he
sheared the old yellow dog. When
the task YVES finished, the canine
very much resembled an African
lyon such as the boy had seen at
the show. a thought struck the
little fellow. He called to some near
by playmates and told them it was
a real lion They became frightened
and ran away. The mother, who had
witnessed the scene, called her
son in the house and shut him in
the bedroom and told him he must
ask God to forgive him for telling
a falsehood. Everything was quiet
for a few minutes. Then the mother
returned to the room and asked the
little man If he had done as she
had told him to do He said, Yes
Mamma, God said it was alright;
he said. he, himself. thought 1t was
lion when he first saw It,

OUR AIM.

In last weeks issue we announced
thu change In management. In this
issue we desire to briefly outline
some of our Ideas, and manner In
which the management will be con-
Quoted.
First of all boost for Payette and
patronize home people and home in
dustries, unite our efforts and pull
together. The old saying, United
we stand, divided we fall" will hold
good in community and city affairs.
In fact, if the business men, and
every other man that Is interested In
the welfare and upbuilding of our
city, do not stand as one man and
work In unison, we will accomplish
nothing 1t is true all men are not
% the same mind, and for that rea-
son we must be willing to give and
take in order to succeed in our eff
forts. Too many men do not seem to
be interested in public affairs and
it Is left to the other fellow. and as
a result a few faithful ones have
them say, "Why don't you fellows
do this, or that" Would 1t not be
better to say, We, and every man
feel that he has personal interest
in the boosting and doing things
that tend to build up our city and
community. We should get away
from the idea that all that con-
Germs us is within the four walls of
our place of business. 1t is right for
every man to look we'll to his own
business, but in SO doing he should
not overlook the fact that the sue
cess of his business depends largely
on the thrift and general conditions
of his town.
Show me good live town, and
You will find live bunch of bust
ness men who are working together.
When we say business men, wei
do not mean just those who are
engaged in merchandising, for he
Is usually the man who foots the |
bills when money Is required, but
every man who is the owner of
property and should be interested in |
making the town In which he lives,
an up-to-date and thriving city. III
We feel that times are not as good
as they should be. do not say so,
Just keep that to your self; If you
feel that the town is dead, don't
stand on the street corner and tell
every body what you think. II the
place does not suit you, you had bet
ter move out and try some other
place, but we will predict that when
You get there you will find a town
just as dead as you thought this one
was
1t is much easier to boost than 1t
is to knock. 1t Is also easier to &C
complish any task. or to bring about
any betterment for our city, when
there is harmony and strength in
1t is our aim to have the peoplei
of this city and vicinity feel thatl
the Enterprise stands for boost, unit
ed efforts and firm determination :
10 get what we go after.
