of Thrift Stamps sold as by. the num-

thrifty.

correlation from either Mrs. Smith
herself or from someone who was
passing and actually heard hel
shrieks at the very moment when the
window came down on her finger. Of
herwise the paper comes in for an
Arrangement for unreliability. The
other morning report shot all over
our town that one of our most pro-
minent citizens was dead. The tele-
phone kept buzzing steadily from peo-
pie who wanted particulars. sent

She found that somebody had been
standing near the baggage car at the
station when the nine o'clock train
came up the valley, bearing a stout
man in pine box who had departed

'internment.

The country editor knows that
headlines do not sell the small-town
papers as they do in the cities. Big
headlines mean only dissatisfied sub
scribers; for the public in a small
town conceives the idea that the big
headlines are there merely to fill
space, and that it is being cheated Of
that much reading matter. The edi-
tor knows that if he has too little
reading matter in his paper, folks
will say unkind things about spend
ing good money for a bally handful;
and if he gets too much they won't
take it because they "haven't time
to read it."
He knows that there's hardly a
person in town who looks upon his
business as being a legitimate one,
like that of the grocer or clOthier
He knows that his lady readers take
him more seriously than his male
clientele, but that his male clientele
does the most critcizing behind his
back when there is provocation. He
knows, too, that women are more
grateful than men when the paper
does them a favor, and that they re-
member it longer. He knows that
his front page is for his men-folk and
his inside pages for his women-folk;
that day after day women will never
see an article in big type on the front
page, but will remember every three
line bit Of local gossip he has printed;
and that men will swear there is no
news in his paper if he isn't all in 49,
point type on the front page. He
knows that the first thing both men
and women turn to each night is the
comics on page seven, and the last
thing the editorial column. He knows
that the cheapest person in the COM

If Dame Nature had not been con-
sistent and perennial minded she
would have been discouraged long
before man discovered her beauties
and powers. She would have relaxed
her attention to details such as just
the proper shades for autumn leaves
and supplying just enough rain and
snow in the hills to make the water
falls. But nature is a consistent ad-
vertiser. She kept up her output Of
exquisite scenery until finally she
has prevailed upon all mankind to
revere natural beauty; and she kept
demonstrating her power by means
of phenomena until scientists caught
the big ideas.
Isaac Newton probably saw things
fall to the ground many times before
the apple hit him on the head and
formulated therein the theory Of
gravitation. Nature was advertising
gravatiOn constantly from the time
that Tantulus was condemned to roll
q heavy rock up hill forever down
to NewtOn's time. He was q scient-
list. He was not looking for the rea-
son why things fell to the ground,
but the mechanics of it interested
him and he was unconsciously at
tentive.
The advertiser knows that people
will get some radiation Of his ideas
about his goods, because things
people buy interest them. He also
knows that his good ideas may fail
many times to make the complete
impression that starts action. That
is his reason for persistent advertis-
ing. F. G. X.

MARSHALLING FIRE
FIGHTING FORCES

BOISE, Idaho, July sc. B.
Morse, assistant district forester of
the intermountain division, and Min
eral Examiner r. A. Holley of the
land office have been empowered by
their chiefs to proceed to operate
against the fires in Idaho on a
large scale. They, therefore, will at
once organize their forces with a.
view to attacking the fire in a man
ner which will bring results.
Preliminary arrangements for the
carrying out of their fight on q
broader scope were made today, and
includes the sending of additional
men and unlimited supplies to the
districts which are now raging
infernos.
The entire field division Of the
land office from the Salt Lake head
quarters is now working in Idaho.
The various officials are at the point
where they are the most needed.
They'are all experienced fire fighters
and their services as directors of the
attack are invaluable in such an
emergency as the state is experience
ing today.
Tuesday night a new fire was re-
ported on Rattle Snake creek, where
the Little Salmon flows in to the
Big Salmon river. This fire was re-
ported to be burning fiercely and had
covered large area.
The fire on the divide between the
South Fork of the Salmon river
and the North Fork of the Payette
river has covered a large area, but
is not in timber Of great value. The
district burned is sparsely timbered
and the timber is not Of good grade.
