an indispensable element, of that good

that only those who drink wine are in

college without doing the work for
which he is sent, depending upon the
pleasures of social life, personal inter-
course, athletic or other sports, to keep
up the flow of spirits, is intoxicated, and
sooner or later will awake to the painful
knowledge of the fact that like all other
intoxicated persons, he has been extrava-
giant, reckless and wasteful."

FIRST TERM AT SCHOoL.-It is pro-
bable that several parents intend, at
the beginning of the spring term, to
send children to school who have never
attended before. We desire to call the
attention of such parents to two points
regarding the matter. First, the uni
versal opinion of educators is, that four
years and five in most cases)is too
young an age for profitable school at
tendance. Nothing will be gained and
perhaps much will be lost by sending
them SO young. Second, our school
year commences in the fall. If child
has had no instruction in the course of
study, it would be far better for it to
wait till the fall term so as to commence
regularly. This is due to the teacher
anu OuC SCutl llbClCobo VI Viz SGnOOls
The work of the Primary department is
vastly increased by the fact that many
are sent at improper times and are thus
unable to enter regular classes. The
attendance is Etoo large, even of those
who begin at the regular time, for jus
tice to the teacher and the good of the
pupils. But it is also better for the pu-
pills to enter regularly SO that they can
advance rapidly and pleasantly from
the very beginning The first term
ought to be so free from hindrance and
Inconvenience that the pupil may inevi-
tably form a strong liking for school
and study at the very outset. A dislike
for school formed the first term often
continues through life. If the pupil is
prepared to enter any class, the spring
term is favorable time. This condi-
ton can easily be ascertained by inquir-
ing of the teacher or Principal, and it
is surely worth the effort to do so.

it will appear that we are nearer to

Indianola, and that the route could be
shortened a number of miles by rum

Homesteaders, (and others just cast
your eyes over the following little squib.
Beyond peradventure the reason for
the major portion Of all the successes
and failures of most farmers is here
clearly defined. ''Store box farming
and June planting are not reliable. "
Of a verify. Neither is saloon farming
of very considerable effectiveness, and
many other kinds of tilling belong to
the "no good" list:
Nebraska is great state, says the
Arapahoe Pioneer, but it is necessary
to plant at the proper time to raise a
crop. If there comes few bad days
this winter you had better do up your
"spring loahng," and have the job off
your hands and when the time comes
to plant corn just get it in as soon as
possible, and you will not be compelled
to go back to your "wife's folks next
winter. Good seed, early planting and
thorough cultivation will do much to
overcome poor years. Try it. Store
box farming and June planting are not
reliable.

Who is there among us who saw the
ladies wading across Main street, while
engaged in doing their shopping last
Saturday, bit thought that some action
ought to be taken US soon as practical
BILE in the matter of crossings. True,
McCook is young-a mighty sprightly
infant withal-and many other things,
more pressing mayhap have engrossed
the attention of our business men. But
there ought to be some means of COM
munication between the sides of Main
street, other than wading through mud
ankle deep every time there is little
thaw or shower of rain. Crossings
from Hayden & McCartneys store to
the north side Of Dennison street, also
crossings between the east and west
sides of Main street at the principal
business places, ought to be provided.
If the village authorities don't see their
way clear to do this, it would be COM
mendable private enterprise.
