Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Gili- ad, Ohio: The editor had an in- teresting experience some time ago, when a young gentleman came to this office and asked for a copy of the Morrow County Re- publican. He scrutinized it care fully when cody was handed him, and then said: "Now 1 know!' What is it you are look ing for" " we inquired. My wife sent me after a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. and 1 forgot the name. 1 went to sev- eral stores and the clerks named over everything in the line on the shelf except 'Chamberlain's.' I'll try again, and I'll never go home without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" The Republican would suggest to the proprietors of stores, that they post their clerks, and never let substitute. Gus toners lose faith in stores where substituting is permitted, to say nothing of the injustice to makers of good goods and the disappoint- ment of customers. Adv.

You are rich in natures treasures; Copper, silver gold and lead, Ancient land marks work of people Long forgotten ages dead. Your towering peaks, your sage and cactus, Crimson sunsets, desert sands. Your pure clear water we are missing Since we left your great highlands. Roaming herds of sheep and cattle; Spreading fields of cotton white, Rolling prairies, crystal rivers Meath the stars that shine so bright. From your fertile southern valleys, Growing fruits of ev'ry kind; To your northern mountain forests You are ever in our minds. The gobble, gobbe of wild turkey. Chattering squirrel, cooing dove, The distant howl of lone coyote, Those are memories we love. Arizona, Oh! Arizona, How our hearts go back to you; Land of sunshine that we long for, Home of loved ones, brave and true. We're coming back Dear Arizona, Coming back to live again. We will cry to do our duty And return without stain. We are fighting to deliver From the Germans iron hand, All who cherish right and freedom And bring peace to ev'ry land.

WooLWoRTH, the '.5 CENT KING"

Abitious young men whose goal is business success may find many use full lessons in the career of Frank w. Woolworth, owner of hundreds of five and ten cent stores all over America and builder of the $13,500,- 900 New York skyscraper which dom mates the sky line. of the metropolis. He was born in the village of Rod man, N. Y, 6S years ago today, April 13, 1852, and received his education in the public schools and a business college. After leaving school he was employed as a clerk in a store, and, although his salary was small, he married at the age of "A. Perhaps matrimony proved a spur to his am- bition, and, at any rate, he began to look about for more profitable line. The store in which he was employed had counter devoted to cheap goods, and this suggested to him the idea of little store handling only merchan- disc priced at five cents.
 Young Woolworth had a reputation for integrity and industry. Had it been otherwise, this story would not be written. That reputation enabled him to borrow the sum of $350, and, with that capital, he opened five cent store in Utica.
 The Utica store was a failure Utica people found the idea amusing, but they did not spend many nickels in theo riginal Woolworth store, and during the brief period it was in op- eration the owner was barely able to pay expenses. Right there was where the average man would have thrown up his hands and quit. That is ex- | actly what Woolworths friends ad- vised him to do. Having confidence in his idea, he rejected these words of wisdom, and made a long search 1 for better location. He found it in Lancaster, Pa., where, in a tiny store with fixtures costing only S20, he sold | SIPS worth of goods the first day With the profits from the Lancaster store he opened others in Harrisburg
 and York, Both failed, but other
 cities were tried with success. The
 five and ten cent store became an in. stitution which has made a tremen-
 dous fortune for the pioneer, and fol | many who have followed his example
