School time has arrived again and
the majority of the younger set are
busy with their books in one school
or another. College has beckoned and
those who made merry with dancing
and parties during the summer have
packed up their bags and gone to uni
versities and colleges to continue the
serious work of preparing for life.
This has left more than one small
city destitute of social life during the
past week. This has not been the
case in Douglas.
Although the week before the Off
ciaI opening of school was busy one
socially for the mothers, they have
now begun to give thought to their
own social life.
AS long as the younger set were in
the city, Country club affairs and
other parties centered around them
Now that they have gone or are busy
at school, the social life of Douglas
will continue on it's even tenor and the
older generation will again take its
place at the bridge table and on the
dance floor
Last week this page carried an an
nouncement of the. tentative program
of the Douglas Country club for the
year. A few of the many parties held
there each, Writer were recorded for
the coming season. Others will crop

Increased prosperity in Douglas is
now promising increased social life.

lodges and ORGANIZATIONS have an
nounced the first meeting of the new
season to take place this week.

have notified the public of new en-

Idaho produced about one- fifth of the domestic supply of lead in 1926, according to returns made to the bureau of mines at Washington, and is the third largest producer of lead in the United States. Idaho lead production last year was 132,564 tons, as compared with 123,363 tons the year before and 123,709 tons in 1924. Missouri and Utah produced more lead than Idaho.

"WHAT THE
 PUBLIC WANTS.

Daily newspapers throughout the country have in recent months adopted a tone much more friendly to the mining industry. It is true that much of the matter they have pub lished deals with the romantic rather than the practical side, but that is only natural" says Mining Truth.
 Because of the publicity that attached to Weepah, al- most any mineral discovery nowadays can get a minute on the telegraph wires, and a few inches of news space often on Page One. The daily newspapers have handled the Oregon tin exiitement, the gold rushes at Republic ano Sprague River, the ore strikes in number of Northwest op- erating mines, in a manner that could not have been hop ed for a year ago.
 "Weepah bears the earmarks of a manufactured boom," to the extent that the space given to it was out of all proportion to the actual importance o1 the ore discovered. But the newspapers have learned by experience that having made a news subject they can't un, make it. Their readers won't let them.
 '"The newspapers made" the reputation of Roosevelt, of Billy Sunday, of Babe Ruth, Of Bryan and LaFollette ana many a lesser man. They have created the legend of Calvll Coolidge as a strong, silem man" in the White House. Whenever they have popular ized a individual they have been unable to ignore the pub lie demand for news abom him.
 ''So with an industry. What ever Weepah may produce ir gold, it has produced a public demand for news of mining a demand which keen new. editors on the press associat- ions and the large dailies have recognized, and which they are now duty bound to satisfy"

WAKE UP WITHHOLD
GONE, SAY DOCTORS
Advise Hospital Tested Method
That Brings Relief Overnight
Is Ideal for Home Use!

Head colds, coughs and chest
colds may now be ended almost
overnight by an economical home
method approved by doctors at the
health clinic. And druggists say
that hundreds of Indianapolis peo-
pie, like Mrs. Arthur Price, have
been surprised to find how quickly
it brings results, even in severe
cases where all other remedies used
had failed.
Fearing pneumonia as her cold
got worse, Mrs. Price called the
clinic for advice. Her head and
chest were congested; she felt "fe-
verish" and the Inflammation was
spreading down into her bronchial
tubes. The doctors then recon-
mended Ayers Cherry Pectoral-a
concentrated mixture of ingredients,
which hospitals have found to be
quickest, safest and surest to end
colds.
With the first pleasant spoonful
she felt the comforting, healing
warmth-from her nose passages
deep down into her chest. 1t eased
her cough almost instantly. In a
few hours her feverish "grippy"
feeling began to disappear. BY
morning her head had cleared up,
and in day or so all traces of the
cold we're gone.-Advertisement.
