Were the Good Old Days"
Really Good?
~

When you hear an old-timer sigh for the days of his fore
fathers, smile quietly to yourself and think of this:
The ancients got along without automobiles, soap, stoves,
tooth-brushes, window-glass, breakfast foods, telephones
without practically all of the things we consider the
bare essentials of life. am
There never has been a time when life bettered itself so
rapidly and so consistently as now. New conveniences
and new comforts are continually being thought out and
brought out for your benefit. !;
In order to reap the advantages thafare yours today, you
must read the advertisements. They bring you news of
all that the world of invention and discovery is doing
to make your work easier, your home life more pleasant,
your clothing and food problems less difficult. They keep
you informed of all that is new in the markets and stores.
They tell you not only about the goods, the styles, the
varieties and prices, but also where and when these things
are to be had.
The advertisements are messages from the business
world to you. Heed them.
Don't overlook the advantages that are
yours. Read the advertisements in the

HEINRICH HARTMAN
DIES SATURDAY

Last Saturday, February 3rd, at
800, Heinrich Hartman, old timer in
this country passed away.
Mr. Hartman has been i'll for some
time with cancer of the stomach and
lived for a long time on his vitality
until death in its mercy relieved him.
Mr.. Hartman was born 76 years
ago in Leipsig, Germany and came to
the United States when he was 36
years of age. He first located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but re-
manned only a few years, as his piO-
neer nature demanded more room.
He finally located in Cass county, N.
D., and fled on a homestead there.
Later pushing further west he came
to Plentywood and has resided here
for the past Is years, being employed
for several years on the G. N. rail-
road. He made his home at the
John O'Grady farm for the past few
months as he was getting feeble and
about two months ago was brought
into the local hospital, where he lin
gered until his death last Saturday.
He was a single man and has no
relatives that are known. The de-
ceased was buried in the Plentywood
cemetery, Rev. Kjer of the Lutheran
church officiating.

The sermon Sunday, on ''The Etern-
al and Abiding Value of the Bible, "
closes the series Of four sermons on
"Our Bible" Every person who takes
life at all seriously, or who for their
own sakes or the sakes of their child
rem, would find the true way of life,
should not miss this sermon.
Considerable new material in the
form of the latest books and helps for
Sunday school teachers, has arrived
and will greatly multiply the efficiency
of our religious education in the
Church school. Three dozen small
chairs for the little tots are expected
to arrive any time now. These will
bring great joy and comfort to the
Primary Department, where some fif-
ty children have to get along with only
about twenty adult chairs.
