When the people return from the cemetery tomorrow afternoon, everyone will feel that they have left in that place of rest, the body of one who was indeed a friend and whom it was a pleasure and a privilege to have known.

ASSETS OF A DRY STATE
It is said that there are no new tin cans for the new maple syrup. Well, there are quite a lot of jugs in this state which aren't working just now.—Portland (Me.) Press.

The business men of Orofino showed their patriotism and love of fair play last week when they bought eight pages of advertising space in the Clearwater Republican for the Red Cross. Instead of letting the newspapers carry all of the burden of these drives in which everyone should be deeply interested, the business men helped the newspapers by buying the space used. It cost none of them a great sum and the drive was thoroughly advertised and great good was done for the Red Cross and the newspaper did not have to do it unassisted. That is an example that might well be followed by other towns. Lewiston, Colfax, Pullman, Palouse, and other towns that have newspapers.
