Looking back over those, fifty years, you will note manyj changes, which time has wrought. S<ime of those old neighbors and friends have moved to distant fields to i-esnie, some have passed on to the Great Beyond and many are with you still. New faces have come to your community and among them you have found new friends. It has not always been a pleasant journey, day by day. month by month and year by year, of wedded life. You have had your travellingt through that half century ups and downs, your sorrow's and pleasures thata «« all meet along Life's Highway; yet you have both, with courage and ambitions, faced all destinies in pioneer life and the rearing of a family and >-ou have done your part In building up a com- munity and are still doing your part.

Through the remaind- er of your life, may God's richest blessings be bestowed upon you as you turn over each daily page of life â€" "Those Daily Pages." .\o matter what else you' are doing. From cradle days through to the end; You're writing your Jife's secret story Each night sees another page penned, Eaclt month ends a thirty-pege chapter. Each year means the end of a part, And never an act is misstated. Nor ever one wish of the heart. No matter what others may deem you E'en though they exalt you, forsooth, This Life Book of yours will not flatter For every word in it is the truth ; To glance o'er its' pages lonv written Th* yesteKdaya almost forgot, W'ill quicken the drowsiest conscienct You see what you axe, and are not Each day when you wake, the Book opens, Revealing a page clean and white, WTiat thoughts and what w..ls and what doings Will coyer its surface by night? God leaves that to you â€" you'r the writer â€" -And never one word shall grow dim 'Till some daj' you write the word "Finish" And give back your Life Book to Him, It has been a great privilegt foi you to come to the sunset of life with a golden anniversary and our best wishes go with you as you continue on life's journey. â€" Your Friends and Neighbors.

But your advertisement is not here, and people do not worry whether you are selling real estate, gaso- line, peanuts or popcorn. Did you ever sit down in the pasture with a pail between your knees and wait for a cow to back up to be milked. Of course not. than that. You know better Well, business is somewhat like a cow. You've ii'ot to go after it and round it up. The fellow with the milk pail between Jiis knees may g-et some milk, but the odds are all in favor of the fellow- who drives up the cow and feeds her. Some kind of advertising must be done if a business is to amount to anything. Either walking and talking or writing, or printing. But the leats costly, most profitable and dignified way is by the regular newspaper â€" people pay for it. They value it and have faith in the adver- tisements in it.
