DON'T BE GUILTY OF IT.-Never
laugh at any one who does not dress
as we'll as you do. They may know
great deal more than you. They
probably are far better to their little
brothers and sisters. Treat them
kindly. Don't look at their clothes,
and then at yours, as if to say: "See
how nicely l am dressed" Such
conduct is mean and ill-bred. Don't
be guilty of it.

Do THIsl-Make a good inspec-
ton of your entire property and see
just where it needs cleaning, then go
to work and clean it. We have no.
ticed terrible odors arising from the
cutters of the main street and it
must be worse in yards where decay
ing matter has no chance to be wash
ed to the sewer. Clean your gar
dens, your cellars, and especially
your cutters, and avoid an epidemic
that might arise from such a source.
Some of the country schools will
close this week and many of them
next week. While there is no doubt
that the farmers need the help of
their children who are old enough to
go to school, they must not forget
that this is progressive age, and
the children growing up need more
schooling than did their fathers if
they want to keep pace with the
progress of American civilization.
What we want is nine months
school all over the county.

you can always get at Berry's.
