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.

YOU often hear jwople refer lo the "dear old days of
romance" to the time when knight-errants roamed
the earth to do honor to a lady's blue eyes.
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.
