THE BIG FACTOR IN
SELLING LUMBER
And holding customers
as we seo it is "interest."
Of course we aro guided
by thosamegrading rules
that govern others in our
line but wo'vo gone fur-
ther than that by instill-
ing into every man in our
organization this watch-
word: "Will it nleaso tho
customer?" That to our
notion is the real key-
stone of our success. It
is our best guarantee of
your SATISFACTION.

Ah Miss Thomns it- nwoy spending
tho holiday Benson with friends tho
editorial responsibility of this week's
Issue of tho Herald has fallun to tho
lot of ono who Is an entire stranger
to every soul In the county. Hcnco
bo to speak wo nro somewhat "up
against It" when It comes to gather-
ing news Items and taking care of
other publicity matters that should
have due consideration editorially.
There! has evidently bcon some so-
clal functions carried out In Beaver
tho past week which have not come
to tho notice of the "pencil pusher"
of this week's Issue of (he Herald
hence no mention made thereof for
which unpardonable offense we may
havo to bid farewell and a long good-
byo to our goat.
Having a million dollars and being
worth a million dollars aro two quite

how far It would go to tho other extreme
Tho extent of some people's char-
itable make-up Insofar as a disposi-
tion to help tho poor or relievo the
sufferings of others Is concerned Is
their willingness to pass the hat.
Covetousness lack of sympathy
and consideration for others will de-
stroy both tho Individual and the nation.
Wo aro nil trusting that when
Congress gets thru with Its Interpre-
tation of tho "handwriting on the
wall" old "John Barleycorn" and his
associates will most vividly realize a
full materialization of tho pootlcal
statement "Distance lends enchant-
ment." May kind Providence speed
tho moment when the liquor traffic
not only of America but of tho entire
world will bo permanently put out of
commission. This damnable decoc-
Hon was browed In tho very bowols
of hell and spewed upon tho earth
by willing tools In a form of legal
ized commercialism tho tendency of
which has over been to ruin homes
oxllo man from decency rot down his
character and damn his soul. This
may sound pretty rough but wo opine
tho roughness is nil on tho right sldo

TWO OBJECTS ARE SOUGHT
IN FRENCH RELIEF WORK
The American Red Cross assumes
that tho work done by tho organiza-
tion with tho French must" fill funda-
mentally two requirements:
First That all activities contribute
to tho successful conduct of the war.
Second That they relieve suffering
caused by tho war.
Work done with tho civil population
may have a nioro Important bearing
on tho military situation even than
work dono with the forces for men in
tho. field will bo ablo to carry out their
work better with the knowledge that
those left at homo are being taken
care of.
If the Amorican people can get a
real plcturo of tho misery among thoso
who have been and are being dally
driven out of their homes and dumped
In poverty upon other parts of the

they will gladly do all In their power
to help.
