By su ccessfu l men th&t the first thousand dollars
th a t th e y saved looked larger to them than the
many thousands that followed. There are sever
al reasons fo r this. One of which is. that money
saved begets more money. You are practically
helpless, as far as business advancement is con
cerned unless you have some capital. When you
have capital, opportunities for sound and profit
able investments are always presenting them
selves. Start an account with this bank and we
will willingly assist you with our advice, when you
have en o u g h to swing an investment. Our Cer
tificates o f Deposit offer an absolutely safe op
portunity to make four and five percent on your
idle money. You are always welcome at this bank.

What Makes A Tow n
The trade territory of a town is
1 not dependent upon the distance
to neighboring tn ding points.
The trade territory depends up
on the enterprise o f the mer
chants and the residents of the
town. It a town does not reach
after the trade, it will come only
as fast as it has to, and it will
grow as it forced to. But if the
merchants go after business in
the surrounding country, adver
tising in every possible way, and
making good every word o f their
advertising, trade will come from
an ever-increasing radius, the
town will gain a reputation for
being awake and it will forge to
the front It is the men in the
town, and not altogether the
men living within a certain num
ber of miles from it that makes
the town.
Must Keep It Up
It does not pay to advertise
say some merchants who have
done but little of it and that
without keeping it up. The in
cident of the boy and the pump
illustrates the matter very well.
The boy was sent after a pail of
water. He poured in the prim
ing and poured out as much as
he poured in. Then he stopped
to rest and the priming ran down.
After some time of alternate
pumping and resting he con
cluded it did not pay to pump
and quit in disgust. The mer
chant who does not believe in
advertising does it like the boy
did the pumping. He advertised
again and then concluded adver
tising didn’ t pay.

A schoolmaster once said to
his pupils to the boy who would
make the best piece o f compo
sition in five minutes on “ How
to Overcome Habit” he would
give a prize.
When the five
minutes had expired a lad of
nine years stood up and said:
“ Well, sir, habit is hard to over
come. If you take off the first
letter it does not change ‘abit’.
If you take off another letter
you still have a ‘bit’ le ft If you
take off still another, the whole
of ‘it’ remains. If you take off
another it is not totally used up,
all o f which goes to show that
if you want to get rid o f habit
you must throw it off altogether.”
Result—he won it.
Keep It Out
“ Keep it out o f the paper” is
the cry which the local news

paper publisher daily hears. To
oblige often costs considerable,
though the party who makes the
request thinks the granting
scarcely worth saying ‘ ‘thank
you” for.
A newspaper is a
peculiar thing in the public’s eye.
The newsgatherer is stormed at
because he gets hold of one item
and is abused because he does
not get another. Young men.
and often young women as well
as older persons, perform acts
which become legitimate items
for publication and then rush to
the newspaper office and hog the
editor not to notice their esca
pades. The next day they con
demn the same pajier for not
having published another party
doing the same thing they were
guilty of. forgetting apparently
their late visit to the printingi
office.
Good roads will lead to the gen
eral improvement o f the country
side. The farmer who drives to
and from town over a spacious,
smooth, welleared for road will
unconsciously come to effect
corresponding improvements in
the management and operation
of the farm.
The Spokesman wishes all its
readers a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.

P. A. Woolley has moved his
family from his ranch to the
Smith buildings in order to lie
near water for domestic and
stock purposes.
Chas. Wimer and George
Campliell visited Fid White one
day last week to see how he was
coming on in the horse business.
Mr. White devotes a considerable
portion o f his time to buying
and selling horses.
E. H. Edgington made a busi
ness trip to Bend last week on
business connected with his
meat business.
The people o f these parts are
preparing for a big time at the
Pinehurst school house Christ
mas eve. They will have a tree
with presents galore for the little
tots, and the older folks, too.
About $40 has been raised to be
expended in presents and deco
rations for the tree.
