Messrs. AL. Leard and T. j. John raised q
subscription of $500 to secure q months sup
ply Of water from the waterworks In advance
of their completion, and steam was raised for
thepurpose Thursday. As 1t will probably be
two months before the works can be finished
it is contemplated to renew the subscription
at the end Of the time which it now covers.
The best way to avoid sunstroke Is to be
temperate in all things, and to take plenty Of
sleep at the natural time, at night. People
should 60 to bed earlier IN summer than in
winter as daylight forces them out of bed so
much earlier, whereas they do the very re-
verse. Farmers especially should learn that
there is no true economy or gain In working
on late into the night. Quit work early, take
your natural quota of sleep, and let your ami
mails have q chance to rest. You can't take
your dollars with you when you die. then
why slave for them as so many dos Moder.
ate labor is wholesome, physically. mentally
and morally. but overwork is injurious in
every way.
Higginsville Post:-"The Lexington pa
pers are grumbling, as they ought 10 do, be-
cause some of the schools of that city persist
In having their printing done in other cities.
This would not be so bad If they would also
90 to the newspapers of these other cities for
their free puffs and gratuitlous advertising.
This they don't do, and If they did they
would be disappointed. City papers don't
do that sort Of work, 1t is left for the poor.

blow and puff and sweat to build up Q town,
q school or some other enterprise, and then
when q little printing Is to be done. that
ought to go to them, they are ignored in favor
of these same city papers, because, forsooth.
q few cents can be saved By taking the work
from home. 1t is time for country papers to
speak out on this subject and demand their
rights. And if they would do so this great
evil would soon be righted. There is no more
reason why q business man, or any other
man, for that matter, should 60 from home
to have his printing done than there is for
him to buy his groceries, his dry goods or
anything else in the same way. Suppose, for
instance, that every man in Lexington Or
Higginsville, made all his purchases IN Kan
sas City, st. Louis, or Sedslis, how long
would it be until our own business men
would be forced to quit businessf Our busi-
ness men are interested in our city; they
help to pay its taxes; they invest their
money, work for the town, and are interested
In Its growth and prosperity, while other
cities care nothing for US, as every cent they
get from our people is so much clear gain

from false notions Of economy, prefer to pat
ronize other cities than their OWL. These
men are in business, and would feel very
much aggrieved if others were to treat them
in the same way, and 60 elsewhere to make
their purchases and invest their money. The
Post Is glad to say that but little Of this short
sighted and unbusinesslike work is done in
Higginsville. Our business men, with few
exceptions, spend their money at home; pat
ronize those who support them and believe
In living and letting others live. 1t is . mis-
take to suppose. as some do, that money can
be saved by going from home to spend 1t. As
a rule the goods purchased here, the services
or work secured here, either professional or
otherwise, are just as good as, and nearly al
ways more satisfactory than those which can
be had away from home. The time is COM
ing. we believe, when everybody will realize
this fact, n it Is the duty of the country
papers to denounce the policy which seeks to
sacrifice them in the interest of the metro
politan press, and to break down the business
