Occasionally we read where one of them tiles, fo the veterans of the civil war are so few, comparatively, nowadays, that it is not often that the press carries notices of their deaths,' Slowly, one by one, the civil war veteran has been been passing away, but have we, as a grateful people, noted his passing as we ought, ns benefactors of his sacrifice? lie is a part of the military glary of La Grande that will never fade.' . , Jt is with sofemn thought and heartfelt sympathy that we look upon the surging stream of life and see therein these few strug gling old heroes who are struggling vainly in their efforts to sur vive yet for a little while. Soon but a few years at the most they must succumb beneath the inevitable torrent that sweeps us all into eternity. Their passing awakens the devotion that we owe to them as saviors of the union. ' "I feel like uncovering every time I see a veteran of the cfvil war," said a patriotic citizen the other day. And he expressed a sentiment that, translated into action, would offer a fine tribute to the remaining "Boys of '01." The Newspaper and Sales Modern life is much different today from what it was' a decade ugo. Today, a great deal of buying is done over the telephone. This, in turn, means that opportunities for purchases advan tageous to the buyers are now almost completely centered in news paper advertising. ' .'.'''', . The. modern housewife knows what she wants, knows 1y brand name, and orders in that manner because advertising has taught her how she should do it and why it is profitable for her to do so. Imagine ordering from an unknown grocer "some breakfast food," "some bacon," "some coffee," "some brand" and so on, as in the olden days before national advertising became tho pow erful force it is today. But now the housewife can pick up the phono and choose u retailer almost nt random and order by brand name, trade-mark or slogan the things she wants and be sure of getting that iden tical hmnd.jr Uk' tr j a i-i The time of following up in person orders of this nature has therefore been saved, the time of returning the goods which did not suit is also saved. ...

Life is di'ab, or life Is tangled, or life is hopeless perhaps, and you have tried almost every remedy you can think of. , You have gotten angry and spoken your mind. You have stood upon your rights and shown people that you are not afraid. You have studied things out and know what you are doing. You have used cunning, force, perseverance, good temper and Imd. ' ' You have exhausted your spiritual drug store. . , Here is a suggestion: Suppose you try love. Suppose yoi remember that what everybody in this world wants is not to be improved nor enlightened nor regulated. What every human being wants is love. Give it to 'em. Try it for one week, Of course, it is perfectly absurd and impractical and all that, hut try it and see what happens. You can try anything once and the experiment may prove an nmazing one. Knowledge Is Success 1 When Douglas Fairbanks went to Richard 'Mansfield, told him he wanted to be an actor, and asked him for advice, Mansfield counselled him to go home and "develop himself," to learn ail sorts of things. "If yon want to be successful," he added, "and are thrown into the world of big thing's, wilh men who have succeeded in -other fields of endeavor, you will be able to SPEAK TI1KIK LAN GUAGE." Knowledge is the language of the Hundredth Man. ; Ignorance embarrasses you, 'shames you, makes yon tongue tied and awkward. There is no Hoyal Head to knowledge. You cannot leani Its language in a week, nor a month, nor by four years in school, nor by any other spirit of effort. ' ' ' , ... 11 .. i . i i . . . Radio Fans, Be Careful In Baker a few days ago boys who ate Interested in radio were putting up an aerial. Unthoughtedly their wire was let drag on a high tension electric wire carrying a heavy current for lighting and power pmposos. It so happened no serious results followed, hut think of what might have happened. Everyone who strings a wire should do so with the utmost care. This advice is especially important to the young chaps who are full of radio enthusiasm. ! Paradoxical as it sounds, the man who does not permit the logic! of the situation to cause him to quit usually succeeds.
