LITTLE FELLOWS PAY
You Sure Get Results-Clas-
sified Advertisement Gets
Host of Replies to Hazen
for Cows.

A week ago the Villas County
News inserted in its Want Adv.
column the following classified
little notice:
COWS WANTED-Four fresh
or about to be fresh mich
COWS; prefer Guernseys or ex-
ira good grades. c. +. Hazen,
Phelps, Wis
In a letter to us March 2lst
from Hazen, he says: you need
not run the Cow adv" any long
er. We have replies enough from
last weeks News to start butter
factory. Stop it.
There isn't a farmer, business
man or resident of the county but
who has something to sell or who
wants TO buy something. And 1t
has been proven years and years
ago that the little fellows-the elias
sified advertisements the one
best bet TO reach after the small
wants. If you have anything you
wish to dispose of from the home
or farm, or if you want to buy
something get into the game and
use the News want adv. column.
Up to five lines costs you 25c a
week; over that a five cent piece
per each line additional. Not
enough to burst your pocket book,
and Just the right amount to make
you feel happy and get just what
you want.
You see, Hazen after his expen-
diture of 25c for a COW, is now
able to start out with enough ami
mails and operate a butter factory
If the unsuccessful fellows who
failed to sell their cows to Hazen
will use the classified columns
they will possibly be able to dis
pose of their surplus stock. Send
in your adv. with 25c, and start
business getting. The man who
keeps his light under a half bushel
measure is not in the running; il
is the fellow who goes after
things.

THE JOB THAT KILLS

The untimely death of President
Harding, two weeks ago, has brought
home to the American people in a
convincing manner the arduous tasks
OF a president of the United States,
wearing job that soon tells on even
the strongest-constituted individuals.
In robust health Warren G. Harding
entered the presidents chair, two
years ago last March. Ever eager to
be Of utmost service to his country,
the president was greatly hurt by the
unjust criticism that was heaped upon
him. He was no more criticized than
were his predecessors, yet his health
broke and he died when little more

than half his term had elapsed.

than half his term had elapsed
Woodrow Wilson left the presidency
sick man, and has not since recov.
cred, although he has had a Ions
period of rest. He, too, was a victim
of overwork and the consequent strain
of filling the executive office.
So manifold have become the duties
of the president since the American
government was established, SO mum.
erous have they become with the ex
pansion Of the country, that the lob
is eclipsed in magnitude by none other
on earth. Too much, far too much,
is expected Of the president, yet few
who have occupied the White House
have been unequal to the task.
In this connection, Senator A. r.
Cummins, of Iowa, has recommended
in very positive words, that the pres
idency be limited to one term of four
years.

The problem of a decent price for
wheat is not alone problem of the
farmer but affects general business
conditions throughout the land-in the
small towns and in the cities. Busin-
esq men, manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers are sensing this fact, and
are aligning themselves in favor of
action by the federal government that
will save the wheat farmer from

POLLY AWAKENED

There is in Grangeville this week
a Chinese woman who is most un
usual character. She is remarkable
in that for fifty-one long years she
has continuously resided in the rough.
est mountain country of Idaho county
the most rugged mountain region in
the west, and in all these years, more
than half century, she has not left
her mountain homes, first at Warren,
once a lively gold-mining camp, and
then for twenty-eight years in the deep
canyon of the Salmon river, where for
weeks and months, sometimes, she
saw not a living soul save her hus-
band, a white man, who passed away
last November, and left her alone in
the world.
This Chinese woman today is hay
! ing "the time of her life' in Grange
vile, which to her is a veritable me-
tropolis. She has lived the primitive
Life of a frontierswoman Hidden in
the mountain Businesses, the march of
progress has surpassed her greatest
expectations. She is unable to COM
prehend the world, or any particular
part of it, save the isolated mountain
region, with its peaks and its can
yons, its deep SHOWS Of winter and
dancing brooks in the summer time.
This woman, until she came to
Grangeville, had never seen a locomo-
tive. Until few days ago, she knew
not the sound of an automobile en-
CINE. The method of locomotion en-
ployed by Eve in the Garden of Eden
was hers. by her own feet, and not
in twenty years had she even ridden
horseback, the necessarily favorite
means of transportation in the noun
tains.
Grangeville, with its 1900 people, its
picture show, its brick business blocks,
its hundreds of speeding automobiles,
and far more wonderful than that the
steaming steel locomotive that nightly
pulls the passenger train into this
metropolis-as Polly views a typical
western town that in many parts OF
the country would be termed nothing
more than a village-it's all marvel
Gus, so marvellous.
Polly is modern Rip Van Wrinkle,
but instead Of sleeping twenty years
in the Catskills, she is awaking
from a half century of slumber under
the shadow of the majestic Buffalo
Hump.
She cannot explain her delight, her
utter establishment at what she has
seen. She stands aghast. She chuck
les for joy. She walks in the street
of Grangeville grasping the arm OF
her companion, for fear she may be-
come Iost-that she may be en-
ouIfed in the maelstrom> of the mad
throng. The wonders OF it all-they
are to her a great, great puzzle, as
much of a mystery as is life itself,
and death. She cannot solve it.
But what would Polly say IL she
were suddenly transported from
GrangevilIe to San Francisco, to New
York or to London? All, the contrast
would be too great. She would drop
dead. this plucly, good natured Chin
csc woman. She is overjoyed in
craneeville. but already she has ex-
pressed a desire TO return to the
mountains, to her humble cabin. she
has seen enough. TITS home" she
said "and I want to go back" Polly
has seen the world.
She is satisfied to go back to the
mountains and spend the rest OF ner
DAVIS amid the scenes she has known
so long.
