ADVERTISING

Did you ever stop to think
about advertising in a news
paper or. any other publica-t
ton? The amount of money
expended in the Courier-Re-
porter for advertising each
week is considerable but just
think of the hours of time
and the amount of thought
that it takes to write copy for
all of these ads. Perhaps you
say "well that's nothing to us"
but it is. These ads all car
ry a message to you and are
one means of keeping you in
touch with the market at all
times. True as it is that adj
vertisements are written to-
Increase business for the firm
that writes them, they are val
liable to you and it is to your
advantage to read them.
About ten of twelve of us
had a little meeting Monday
evening and just talked adj
vertising. We know that
times are a little better now
and that there is bound to be
some money spent this sum
mer. You, as well as ourselves
would like to see that money
spent in Kennewick. That
was the gist Of the meeting.
Everyone at the meeting re-
allies that we must show the
Kennewick buyers some good
reasons for spending their
money here and no doubt there
will be some mighty snappy
and interesting ads in the pa
per this month.
Lets look them over!

delivery service, altho we had
seriously contemplated cutting
it out on account of not being
able to get cash on delivery.
Our store is a cash store and
we do not wish to deviate
from this plan.
Fairness is our hobby. Our
delivery business is but 1919

ness to the 900 who are pay

handle the delivery business
other than on a c. o. d. basis.
Please have your money all

A EDITORIAL

We have been asked TO
write editorials by so MANY
different people that we are
obliged to say that it can't
be did. Our Dope Sheet writ
er can't do it, and besides that
what is the use? We have a
good editor in Kennewick
now.
If we were going to write
a editorial, we would write it
about flies-the damn pesky
little pests. They cause a lot
of misery, spread disease.

pail over and they do all sorts
Of deviltry. Let's fight them
fight them to the last ditch
poison them, trap them,
swat them, kill them with a
club, put salt on their tails and
catch them by hand-any old
way to get them. But be sure
to get them.
Let's keep garbage, rubbish
and manure cleaned up. Do
not give them a chance to
breed. It's early now, they
are just getting a good start.
Now's the time to up and at
them.
Here is what we will do this
year to help keep down the
flies. We will buy them from
you at lOc per ounce. Bring
in all the flies you can catch
We will weigh them and pay
you 10c per ounce for every
one of them. Furthermore,
we will give next fall to the
one who has brought in the
greatest number of flies dur
ing the entire season a FIVE
DOLLAR GOLD PIECE as q
special reward for his or her
superior craftsmanship.

THE RECIPE

It's doing your job the best

money-but holding friends,
and staying true to your aims,
and ends; It's figuring how
and learning why, and look
ing forward and thinking high,
And dreaming a little and do
ing much; with what is finest
in word and deed; It's being
thoro, yet making speed; It's
daring blithly the field Of
chance while making labor q
brave romance; It's going on
ward despite defeat and fight.
ing clean and it's playing fair
It's laughing lightly at Dame
Despair; It's looking up at the
stars above, and drinking
deeply of life and love; It's
struggling on with a will te
win, but taking losses with 9
cheerful grin; It's sharing
sorrow and work and mirtt
and making better this goot
old earth; It's serving, striv.
ing thru strain and stress
It's doing your noblest-that's
Success!

There is something in the
twinkle
Of an honest fellows eye
That can never be mistaken
And can never be passed by;
There's that dauntless, up

That convinces all beholders,
That the man they see is

Heaven gives such men in
fluence
Over those they daily meet;
If they see a fallen Brother
They will help him on his feet.

uneasy,
Make the false" act kind of
fair,
For the greatest rogue on
record
Will respect the man who's

Boys and girls attended the
theatre last Friday evening
at our expense, and you bet
we were glad to furnish them
the tickets. We advertised that
we would give a show ticket
last week to any boy or girl
that brought us in an order
for $500 or over and it was
a pleasure to see the 70 kids
file in with a $500 order each.
We used the $4,000 to adj
vantage and we hope you en-
joyed the show.
Thanks, kids. we will do
something different next time.

SOME FOOD
FOR THOUGHT

The gifted man bears his
gifts into the world, not for
his own benefit, but for the
people among whom he is
placed; for the gifts are not
his; he himself is a gift to
the community.
That is the way life gives
gifts to the world; it wraps
them up in men and sends
them forth.
If the bearer purloins the
gifts for his own use and turns
his ability to serve into an ex-
cuse for overlordship and ex-
ploitation of those who need
him, he is a traitor to the un-
iverse.
Every kind of ability or SUI
periority is an obligation.
Here is the solution of all
social, national, class and in
dividual problems.
Service is the badge of the
Great. There is no greatness
without it.

 In the railroad group, New Haven IS advanced point and Chi cago and Great Western As dropped one, most of the other changes being of q fractional character. Attention was called by several bond houses today to the oVerSupply of railroad equipment trust certificates which has resulted in number of high class issues selling at prices to yield being noted in Atchison convertible which expires May 3l.

PRICES I DEVELOP PRIMER TONE ON NEW YORK CURB

NEW YORK. May 14.-Prices de- veloped a firm tone in today's curb market when the early experimental short selling failed to bring out any large volume of stock.
