If you appreciate the fact that you
can come down town and buy any
thing that you might happen to want
in the line Of groceries, dry goods or
anything else that you may desire,
without having to either go or write
a letter to Boise to get it, help to
support the local merchant that
makes this possible. He will not
overcharge you and besides that dol
lar that you may give him will very
likely be spent in this community
by him and possibly in the due course
of time you will get it back again
If it goes out of town the likelihood
of it ever returning is not great We
have not any too many dollars now,
let's keep our money at home.

Mountain Home was practically
last Sunday. Practically
everybody that had car, and that
includes the majority of our resi-
Tents, hied themselves to nearby
treams and mountains to spend the
lay. AS is usually the case with the
newspaper men we had to stay at
Tome.
Roscoe w. Smith and H. L. Braden
pent last Tuesday hunting ducks on
he Snake River. AS an alibi Mr..
'raden states that he had been shoot
ng blue rocks so much that he was
naccustomed to regular bird shoot
ng and when ever flock would pass
yer he would shoot once and then
Tait for the trap to be sprung. This
xplanation helps slightly to explain
small bag. We presume that Mr..
NTH took lay off occasionally to
oil pill.
Anything that can be sold, can
e sold by mall" states an advertis-
lg manager of a large mail order
ouse, dealing in dry goods. In his
rgument in this regard he is pos
bly, right for proper advertising on
lie part Of any concern will aid ma
'rially in marketing their goods. In
rder to counteract such matter it is
'sential that the local merchant
eep his name constantly before his
respective customers in order to
revent mail order concerns from
licking the life blood from his com
unity.
