Ast, Canby, Ore. .IN DRGAA1LAND ,Tis sweet to linger in the soft effulgence of the twilight glow, When each day's task is done, rnd music sweet and low Speaks Love's eternal yearnings and Disvot ion's mute desire, Kindling the altar of the heart with evening's vestal fire. From out the balmy night there comes to me A thousand cheerful voices, speaking sweet mystery. Led by their joyous laughter and their Kght antf love, I soar to realms more beautiful than the starry heights above. Sleep, on the wings of Night, then smiles on rr.c; Wc fly away to flowery realm?, besids an emerald sea. And sweet, indeed, it is to meet life's dear one3 there, To walk and talk with them cgain, and feel that they are near. . D. 15 P I 31 I x ft x i ! J t ! 5 I i 9i t When Butte Was . A Barren Desert. For five wceljs last winter the city of J3utte,-Mont, was a barren desert, It. was the driest placo on earth. Tho water supply was all right, tut owing to a strike all tho newspapers wcro suspended. Butto's experience proved that in this day and ago the local newspaper is a public necessity. Nobody, knew what was Happening, i-aiao rumors ' spread like -bad butter. Fake stories about citkens circulated by word of mouth until several duels almost re sulted. There were no newspapers' to tell tho truth about .things. Business suffered worst of all. Merchants tried handbills, which -didn't fill tho blli. They work ed tho billboard over time, bft only bored tho ' public. Tho pooplo cried for newspapers as babies cry for (Sco ad.) For onco in tho his tory of tlo world it was demonstrated beyond peradventun that a towu without ft livo newspaper .n j acaa one. oiores could not do business without properly advertising their wares, and they could aot advertise properly without news paper space, Butte merchants aro now advertising to mako up for lost time. Business men who didn't think much of advertising before hare learned iti valuo and aro using newspaper pace. m The experienco of Eatto carriej a let son for every other town this one, for instance: ' ' ' r-trtrCtittrti-trtrMrlrb tTstrtrbirt-ttirttriricZr ADVERTISING "PAYS ITS OWN WAY.
