In order to get advantage of the
100000 extra votes, subscriptions
totaling ten years will have to be
turned in at one time. (For exam

subscriptions: or five two-year sub

This applies not only to the high

Valley of Moon
Urged by Smith
AS Nat. Park

Considerable interest has been at
tracted recently to the valley OF
the Moon,' situated a short distance
northeast of Oakley. We reprint
below an article from the Rupert Pi-
oneer Record dealing with the sub
ject:
(From The Rupert Pioneer Record)
In a letter to r. w. Limbert, Boi-
Sc taxidermist, Representative Addi-
son T. Smith expressed belief that it
will be possible to have the valley
OF the Moon set aside as national
park or monument. The section
consists of an enormous lava flow in
Butte county. 1t has recently at
tracted national attention through
an article printed in the National
Geographic magazine. This article
was prepared by Mr.. Limbert.
In the letter Representative Smith
ted trip through the territory. He
asks for data which will be of Gus
national park.
In part the letter states:

be made a great asset to eastern and
southern Idaho, If automobile roads

which you acquired as a result of
your explorations couple of years
ago."
In the park there are a number of
large extinct volcanoes, reaching a
height of 400 feet above the sur
territory. Hollow cones,
tunnels and other freaks of
great size and depth are common in
the territory. There are great fields
where the lava has apparently flow
ed out and hardened almost instant

been completely explored.
Enormous quantities of cinders
would furnish ample material for

Although Oakley was confronted
by very weak team, it was evil
dent that Coach Parks had made a
vast improvement in individual play
and team work, since the previous
game. When the backs would start
around the end, Castleford had a
stone wall to break through before
getting to the man with the ball.

Next week the boys will clash
with the snappy Filler team whose
goal line has not been crossed so

two solid weeks of work for a hun

kinds of employment where the av-

So far as we have been able to
find out, no candidate has yetmadea
thorough canvas of the Oakley trade

candidate who does this will get
somewhere between a million and
four million votes. For one enter

logical procedure would be to set

At various times idle rumors have

no one else could hope to catch up.
Any one who thinks that is thinking

Men of Oakley
.HaveChance to
Boost Oil Wells

Local people now have a chance
to give boost to oil well drilling
il. the Goose creek field, IL miles
south of Oakley Oakley, not Bur-
ley.D The West Pearl Oil and Gas
company, whose hole at the JD
ranch has reached a depth of 1900
feet, is offering some stock for sale
This stock may be bought through
]. E. Elliott who is representing the
company in Idaho with Offices at
Burley.
Nobody pretends that oil stock is
a conservative investment in the
sense that w. S. S. are conservative
But that does not signify that this
oil stock is any less legitimate. An
oil well that is a commercial success
may pay hundred times as much
on the investment as government
bonds. But the greatest benefit of
all which we, as citizens of southern
idaho expect from further drilling
on Goose creek, is not just return
to the money invested, but the de-
velopment of big old field in our
front and back yards.
Mr.. Toomey, the superintendent
OF the company, impresses us as be-
ing incluined to understate rather
than overstate the prospects of oil.
Therefore what he says as to the ac-
tual presence of some oil and gas "a
the well is all the more impressive.

Cars Enable Farmers To
Increase Business, Health
And Happiness
DUTY OF HAPPINESS
is CARDINAL VIRTUE
Cracker Barrel Philosophers
Have Incorrect Dope"
On Situation

That was genuine shoulder-to-
shoulder talk which Mr.. Solomon
gave MS in his ad September 28 enti-
tied s.Ford Cars Are Valuable Asset
to Community" There is so much
bunk prattled by cracker-barrel phi
Iosophers in corner groceries on the
subject OF automobiles, that little
counter propaganda is necessary to
set the facts in correct light. Just
why these self styled thinkers OBJ
iect to cars has never been deter
mined accurately. If the time they
spend in idle talk on the subject
were given to honest work (mental
OF manual) the gain to the commu
nifty would pay for all the automo-
biles in Oakley valley.
It's just as Mr.. Solomon said:
1.-THE auto has become fixture in
this country. 1t is as much neces-
sity as any other element entering
into the activities of go-ahead peo-
pie. 1t has increased the efficiency
of every class and has added i'm
mensely to the pleasure and the
health of every owner and his
family"
After all, isn't business man n
genuinely constructive force in the
community If he adds to the pleas
ure and health of the people? Why
object to helping everybody enjoy
life? Would you have higher
opinion of the auto dealer If his
business added to the misery and
sorrow, rather than to the pleasure
of the people?
The Duty of Happiness is the
most slandered of all the cardinal !
virtues. You can't neglect this vir-
tue without an injustice to yourself ,
and to your neighbor. The man
whose countenance and CONVERSE
ton and conduct prove that he has
cultivated a dull, gloomy outlook on
things in general, may be as great
menace to the well-being Of the
community as he who sells poison
likker. There is a more insidious
poison than that which is drunk
from a bottle. What worse trans
gressors than those who talk their
neighbors into ideas of gloom and
defeat,

may yet be outdistanced by any or
ali of the others or even by someone
who may enter the race this week or
next. Any one can see how this is
possible when fewer than a fifth OF
the votes are secured which should
normally be won in the contest
In making this statement, we are
taking into consideration the fact
that votes are on a lower schedule
than during the first period of the
race. In making the calculations
this fact was borne in mind. Even
so, there are four times as many
votes waiting to be won as have
been won by all the candidates
together.
Advice to Candidates
Candidates should not permit
themselves to be discouraged by idle
rumors. To get discouraged imper-
ills ones chance of victory. More de-
pends on ones will to win than Is
usually supposed. The time spent
in worrying about somebody else be-
ing ahead should be spent in getting
ahead of somebody else.
Don't waste moment in merely
wishing that you had more votes
and your competitors not so many
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1923-10-12

Don't waste moment in idle talk
about your competitors. Make ev-
cry moment count in a constructive
way in the race. If tempted to en-
tertain idle thoughts. say over to
yourself fifteen times, Thine is
votes! Time is votes, Time is
votes!" Then go out and actually
turn your time into votes. You can
do it, Life and it's subject is plastic
and takes the shape that we give it,
The reason we are sometimes held
in bondage to circumstances lies not
SD much in circumstances as in our
selves. When we take the third-best
things of life, or the second best, in
stead of the best. the blame is most
" with our thoughts, our mental
attitude. One cannot win the biggest
prizes of life without the correct
attitude of mind. This attitude Of
mind must include bulldog dete--
mination to stick to work and a
bulldog refusal to waste energy In
vain worries about what ones com
petitors are doing.
Candidates, cheer up Here are
worlds for you to conquer-worlds

Quered up to this hour, There are
hundreds of subscriptions for yon
to collect. Some of these are past
due and will reward you with 5000

persuade everyone whose subscrip-
tion will expire during the next two
or three months, to renew now.
Besides, there are the advertising
due bill cards for you to sell ONLY
a few of the merchants have bought
these so far. Every merchant should
buy ten or more of the big due bill
