Gen. Gales faces some internal

among whic his the agrarian policy

is subject to abuses and has already
led to much injustice, which will
raise up against Gales a consider

owners and cause protests from for

GEN. GALES TAKES OFFICE

Changes IN the administration al
the City of Mexico will probably not

duced and carried into effect by
President Obregon. Plutarco Elias
Gales, his successor, who was inau-
gurated at noon yesterday, repeated

for the Office that he had made no
promise to any political party, but
il is easy to understand that this was
not necessary. He takes office by the
consent of Senior Obregon and with
out that consent he would be I'M
heard of an an administrative pow
er. He must rule with a firm hand
because any other policy would be
impossible and, should he show
weakness at any moment, there are
those at the City of Mexico who
would soon put someone else in his
place.
President obregon retires from
office with right to be proud of his
achievements. During the four years
just ended he has restored his coun-
try to a place in the family of ma
tions by his principles. He found the
government in a condition approach

WHY ADVERTISE

1t is only the foolish merchant to
day who does not believe in the valu
of advertising and who does not rec
ognize it as necessary for the contin
ued growth of his business.
1 1t is no longer question of ,Shal
or shall / not advertise? but sim.
ply a question of. To what extent
and in what way shall l advertise.
Circulars, novelties, calendars, di-
rect mail, all have their appeal, but
when all is said and done and when
results are compared with the cost
the merchant realizes that the local
paper is the best and cheapest meth
cd of letting the buying public know
what he has TO sell.
1t is the everlasting cry Of the
small town tradesman, "Oh, | have
been here for years and everybody
knows me-" Yes, everybody knows
that church starts at IL O'Clock on
Sunday mornings, but they ring the
bell at 1890 just the same. Every
body knows me" is only a half-truth.
for new families come into town ev-
cry day of the year They must
trade somewhere and the local paper
is invariably their guide. Old pat
rons are induced to increase their
purchases through the appeal of the
printed page.
Trying to do business without adj
vertising is like winking at a girl in
the dark. There is more truth than
poetry in the following verses:
One step won't take you very far,
you've got to keep on walking;
One word won't tell folk who you are
you've got to keep on talking.
One inch won't make you very tall,
you've got to keep on growing;
One little ad won't do it al, you've
got to keep them going.
Because
A constant drop of water wears away
the hardest stone, c
The constant gnaIwing towser masti-
Gates the toughest bone,
The constant cooling lover carries off
the blushing madd
And the constant advertiser is the
one that gets the trade.-Charles

that there really was some one in

young people of the Christian En-

on reaching the house found the fam

proceeded to have good time any
way. Later in the evening delicious

AS OTHERS SEE US

A matter that should be thorough
ly considered by every resident OF
Gilmore County is the attitude taker
by practically every newspaper In
Southern Idaho on the outcome OF
the recent trial of Vern L. Taylor in
this city. Some of our exchanges
have been very bitter in their opin-
ions but all have practically centered
on the following. which was carried
in a recent issue of the Boise Capital
News and is worthy of much
thought:
The ease with which murder
and killing escapes just punish
ment Is startling. If we inter
pref correctly the yerdicts re-
turned by juries in murder
cases, 1t is not as great a crime
in this day of modernized civil
ization to take life as it used to
be. The deliberate execution of
cold-blooded murder does not
appear to be cardinal offense
Taking life is not high crime.
Capital punishment for muir
derers is thing of the past, to
be shuddered at when men
TONED, to constitute a dead let
ter law, relic of barbarism and
the Stone Age.
