THE OLD HOME TOWN - By Stanley HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH In victory; and tho Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and thu rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all Die earth;, lor tho Lord hath spoken It. Isiab 2&;o. There are thousands of men in the. country who can tell the farmer and rancher just how agricultural prob ,': lems should be solved. They all live in cities. ' About the only hope of providing sufficient parkins space in Portland is to . invent automobiles that will rinkle and fold "up. Some of the present ones wrinkle 1 enough but the dam things won't fold. It doesn't take long for those who lose their seats with the mighty to drop from the limelight. Senator Hrook hart, of Iowa, came so close to defeat in the last election that he has a hard, time breaking into print in his home town paper. The fact that one of his sons had been secret ly married two years ago would have made the wires hot all over the country a few months ago. Now it is of little iii-,iuui,. and consequence outside of the colonel's own small town. -SOFT DfclNKS - LUNCHES SSyiT cumj fl g I LATtMC. TOBACCO 6 SNOP ySktJJXk. I I I fiZWfr.

These folks say we arc living in an age of realism ! An age of "realism" where the human voice is hurled across the world without wires; where the temperature of Mars is taken more than thirty million miles away; where tons of steel and people ride easily and safely through the air or under the sea! An age of realism! Why this is the most romantic of all ages! The advertising columns of this paper are full of romance of the romance of men who have devoted their lives to bringing new comforts, conveniences ami pleasures for mankind. Advertisements tell these stories, not with the roman tic exaggeration of a jongleur, but with the calm, simple words of sincerity. Here is a firm that spent millions to develop a product that makes your baby comfortable. Here is a company that has labored fifty years to cut a single hour of toil from your day's work". Here is a man who has searched the Seven Seas to produce a new flavor for your dinner. Romance this agj; is full of it Not just empty ro mance, but the true romance of achievement, of iirog ress, of the betterment of mankind. AdMTtiscmcnts tell you what llic romance of business is doing for you. Read them. 'On,. ti ;
