TINE POET, Riley, has told the story
beautifully and well-how the old
fashioned father sent the boy out into the
world. A heart full of affection and hope
spoke only these words: "Well, goodbye, Jim;
take keer of yourself"
Enough to say, enough to hope for, enough
TO do-take care of yourself-and there's the
foundation of safety, the promise of success.
And how easy a thing to fail in! For
instance, the common practice OF coffee or
tea-drinking administers to the system a
dosing of drug whose harm has been pointed
out repeatedly by medical men,, sometimes IN
alarming terms-and whose effect is very
commonly found in over-excited nerves, sleep
~lessness, ~irritability, indigestion, high blood
pressure-loss of efficiency failure to get on"
The drug, caffeine in coffee and THEM IN
tea, acts as a whip upon the nerves. Over
whipped nerves may run away or break down,
like an over-whipped horse.
Thousands of people have found for them
selves that they cannot safely drink coffee or
tea. Some have had the news broken to them
by their physicians, and many are complain
ing about SYMPTOMS of nervousness, sleepless-
ness and lack of a~lertness during business
hours, and wondering what the cause may be
when the cause probably is tea or coffee.
A great many people who know they cannot
safely drink coffee at night still hope they
can go on with it at other times, and dodge
the damage.
How easy it is to fail to take care-and
how hard the consequences usually are!
Aquarter of a century ago Postum brought
to the worlds dining table that kindest wish

Every Dollar Spent Here
Is Boost For Communitu

Spend your money at home. Amer
lean Falls is the best town in the world
for you. 1t is where you make your
living or sell your produce, market
your wheat or send your children to
school. Then why not give flawless
support to American Falls institutions?
Approximately $500, 900 leaves Power
county every year for Chicago or st.
Louis or some other mail order CEN
ter. Two hundred thousand dallars
would maintain a flourshing business
in American Falls, a business which
would pay a portion of your own taxes,
and support your own schools and
churches. Can you say that the larger
mail order houses contribute to the
taxes in Power County?
A dollar spent in Power County will
pay a dozen little bills. 1t will 90 from
the banker to the farmer to the coal
dealer to the milk man, to the news
paper, to the picture show, to- the
grocery store to the baker and per-
haps a hundred places.
A dollar sent to st. Louis stays Ia
st. Louis and helps the people there
pay their bills.
American Falls has now reached a
point as a business center where COM
plete and attractive stocks in practi-
cally every line of merchandise are
available to the buyer. AS for prices,
goods can be purchased right here in
American Falls at figures that in most
instances are cheaper than those of
merchants in ueighboring towns. AS

Aberdeen, our nearest neighbor, has
a way OF doing things that inspires
admiration and almose envy When
she sees a thing to be done, she does

Twelve miles of road were graded and

into the little city of Aberdeen is much
better than before and that such CO

YOU CAN'T HIT THE
TARGET WITHOUT BULLETS

Ever go hunting? Ever throw your
gun over your shoulder on q crisp
morning and go afield for furry and
feathered game? Wasn't 1t great de-
light to hear the whirr OF wings or see
a CLINT of fur between the tangle of the
underbrush, to sight along the barrel
until you had a line Of your quarry,
press the trigger and-find you hadn't
loaded your gun!
Every day during 1921, Mr.. Mer-
chant, you Will be huntlng-out gun
ming for customers. Your ammuni-
ton is your stock. Your gun Is The
Press. You Will often draw bead"
on your quarry-a customer. Are you
going to forget to load your gun aud
dlsappoint yourself?
Naturally you want to be a big bust
ness In 1921. But the first requirement
Is to have somebody to do business
with. And successful business men,
those who have applied the acid-test,
know the only way to have customers
Is to let folks know what you have
for them by persistent and not spas
modic advertising.
This Is no age to argue: Does ad-
vertising pay? 1t has proved to both
big and little stores that 1t does pay.
The man who makes II pay is the man
who Is big enough to look ahead for
better business, instead Of keeping in
the same rut year after year. Behind
every business that keeps up with the
times is an individual who keeps ahead
OF them.
The merchant who let's himself be-
lleve hat Press advertising won't pay
him is virtually saying: my BUSH
ness Is big enough. I don't want any
morel" If you want less business,
keep quiet-youn have It! But this
Is no time TO throw business away.
You need II. Judicious advertising in
The Press is the most satisfactory way
to get II. Then neighboring county
folks will migrate to your door as
naturally as the birds fly south in win
ter.
But it's up to you, Are you going TO
hit the target" In 1921? Or are you
going to plod alone? The Press is
| ready and willing to serve at your
command. 1t can help you. Resolve
that you will command II and give II
a fair chance to prove that 1t can build
you n bigger and better business,

should have. Property owners could
afford to be taxed for paved streets.
a W system, perhaps a ark, a
community center, fire equipment,
better water system, and a recreation
center. Our churches and schools
would be bigger and better and broad
er. our town would be a better one, a
more prosperous one, a happier one.
But, you say, how would this bene-
fit the farmer?
Would Increase Values.
AS property values increase in
American Falls, SO would farm values
either increase, or at least be stabi-
lized.
Farm property would be more val
liable by eason of being in proxi-
nifty to such a community. More in
dustries would be established, better
prices for produce could be secured
and more conveniences could be pro-
vided for the social, education, moral,
and financial advancement Of the peo-
pie living in this vicinity.
This is not an impractical dream
1t is a sound, economic fact. Drain
the community of its wherewithall,
and you rob yourselves your family
and our future of unknown benefits,
pleasures and advantages.
How car you do your share in con-
trfbuting to this program?
support your home institutions, and
that doesn'e just mean to buy your
groceries and dry goods at a local

1t means supporting every public

. GREAT AMERICAN.

The other day the King of Italy, the
members OF his ministry, the American
ambassador and many other notables,
gathered hn Rome and unveiled a
marble bust OF a plain American citi-
zen, David Lubin.
Thirty years or 80 ago David Lubin
was a small shopkeeper In Sacramento,
California. Lubin saw the need OF ac-
curate informatio n concerning mar
kets and crop condition to help gar
deners and orchardists and farmers;
guide for market opportunities, know
ledge upon which to base amount,
character, variety of what was to be
raised. He conceived a plan for a
great information bureau.
The iden slowly at first, but pres
emily IL became an institution In Cali
fornia. Then the rest OF the country
saw II big, and Lubin's crop informa-
ton bureau became nationwide. Later
Lubin started In to make 1t worldwide.
Lubin died recently In Rome, head
Of a worldwide organization such as
he had dreamed of. Every civilized
nation In the world contributed TO the
information he gathered and distri-
buted, and supported his enterprise
with funds willingly given to the or
g~anizer and director of the Interna-
tional Institute OF Agriculture.
mt wnid-wide information concern
Ing markets and crops Is not the end
OF II all. II was merely a great start,
Lubin planned also for correct and
scientific distribution OF the foods
grown on this earth and slowly that
will follow. Some day, grateful pro-
,ducers and grateful consumers viii
place Lubin's name on the pinnacle
with the greatest who have lived.
