BOOST FOR YOUR HOME TOWN

Oakley should make undreamed
of progress in the next few months.
AS one of the speakers at the busi-
ness mems meeting said, we have
practically all kinds of resources for
development, while other towns are
limited to few lines.
Oakley valley will advance.
nothing can stop it. But we could
retard it's progress. and we can has
ten the speed of motion to the first
place among Idaho's towns.
No one thing will help Oakley
more than for everybody to make a
resolution not to buy anything away
from Oakley that can be bought
in the local stores-and then to live
up to it.

TO ORGANIZE BOOSTERS oLun

Twenty-Five business men of Oak
ley met at 1890 yesterday at the
Burris cafe. enjoyed a good meal to-
gether, and decided that the time
has arrived when everybody in this
valley shiuld begin to cooperate
with everybody else here. A com
mittee, composed of A. NJ Solomon,
Rudgar Price and Roy Eames. was
named to form plans for a booster
organization Of the sort best suited
to ourspecial needs The local bus
mess men will meet at the cafe for
next Thursday, and at
this time the committee will report.

II everybody in our valley traded
at home and only at home, the gen
eral prosperity of our people would
be increased tremendously. 1t is
safe to say that the merchants,
in the last analysis, would gain no
more from such course than
would the average citizen. Money
spent at home does help all the
home folks. This is no mere say
ing. 1t has been proven thousands
of times.
And why shouldn't we do all our
trading at Oakley? Oakley mer-
can meet or beat any bargains-and
all the local business men will treat
you fair and square.

AS To Mines
In Our County

We received this week the annual
report of the Mining Industry of
Idaho for the year 1921, by Stewart
/ Campbell, Inspector of Mines. The
part that most interested us was the
account of the mining industry in
Cassia county. AS most of our read
ers know, many of the mines in the
Oakley trade territory are situated
in Utah or in Nevada, as Oakley is
near the southern border of Idaho.
We must remember, too, that a ma
jority of the mines are Just pro
cess of development=and so are not
reported. Bearing in mind the fact
that the Idaho report mentions only
those companies that are actually
incorporated and are actually oper-
ating in Idaho, what the Insector
says about us is very Encouraging.
The report states that 1.-The min
eral resources of Cassia county are
lead, silver, copper, gold, limestone,
building stone, marble and coal

 She came in, a leading lady taking the stage, head high, chin thrust for ward, eyes dancing with laughter; she expressed triumph and arrogance. Her cheeks were flushed, and there was some disorder in the mass Of nut-brown hair that crowned her head. In her left hand she carried an enormous bouquet of white ca mellias. On the middle finger dla- mond of great price drew almost at once by it's effulgence the eyes Of all.
 Her father sprang to meet her with .n unusual display of paternal tetn- derness. "At last, my child!"
 He conducted her to the table. She sank into a chair little wearlly, little nervelessly, but the smile did not leave her face, not even when she glanced across at Scaramouche. .-.
 Andre-Louis, however still went on eating stolidly without so much as q look in her direction. Gradually the company came to realize that just .s surely as a scene was breeding, Just m surely would there be no, scene as long as they remained.

OUR ANCESTORS TREATED
 CONSTIPATION NATURALLY

Constipation is as old as the world Most people must fight it from birth to death. Some use harsh cathartics or metallic drugs that force relief, but do not strengthen the organs so that they perform their functions normally.
 Our early ancestors turned to Ma ture fore pleasant relief. From herbs parks, roots and leaves blessed with laxative properties, they prepared pleasant, effective extract. Such a remedy as our forefathers made is Dr. True's Elixir. the True Family Laxative and Worm Expeller.. Pre- scribed for his patients originally seventy-one years ago by Dr. J. F. True, a conscientious Maine country doctor, it has become a household favorite. Contains no metallic drugs just pure extracts that purify the bowels as they cleanse. Used over 70 years. 40c-6Qc-S1.20.
