In remitting for subscription do
not say, "Please find" etc. Leave off
the please 1t is unnecessary to
plead with an editor in that way. If
there is any Doodle in the letter, he
will find it-and don't you think he
won't. If he doesn't he is bogus
member of the profession and you are
well rid of the paper.
Teach your children to work-to
have a purpose in life. The boy or
girl who is allowed to loaf or lounge
about the streets with no other pur-
pose in his life than to simply exist is
apt to grow up with the same inclina-
ton. And irresponsible or thought
less parents are largely to blame for
the failures of their children when
they reach manhood.
Some of the papers coming to this
office represent the rankest cOmbina-
ton of Typography and press work it
would be possible to find. A neat,
clearly printed paper is joy forever,
but the daubs sent out by some shops
are disgrace to the craft, and give
one the impression that the town IN
which they are printed is small pota-
toes and few in hill.
Our real estate men have been
bringing many new men who have
bought farms, and are still at work
bringing in others. We are glad to
see this. After the large tracts of
land are divided and taken up our
little city will double in every respect.
At present there are good openings
here for the right parties, and in sew
eral different branches of business.
Don't make fun of boy whose
clothes don't fit In five years his
clothes may be tailor made while
yours are second handed. Don't
make fun of poor girl for in a short
time she may be the happy wife of
some man of brains and bank ac-
count; while you may be glad to clerk
for her husband and sleep in the at
tic.
Intemperance costs this country
millions, Views differ as to legal
methods of suppressing the evil, but
we are sure every intelligent person
will agree with us in the opinion that
children should be brought up to shun
liquor of all kinds as they would the
plague. 1t is education along this
line that accounts for many of the
most substantial victories of temper
auce.
If the following is tfueit will save a
good deal of expense to fami ly who
burns oil for lights. 1t is worth try
ing. When you buy lamp chimney
place it in vessel of water, put the
vessel on the stove, let the water boil,
then remove the vessel from the stove
and allow the water to become cold.
Take out your lamp chimney and you
will have no trouble about it's crack
ing when in use.
When all other friendships and loves
grow indifferent and cold and turn to
hatred, a mothers love ever remains
as true as the needle to the pole, ever
patient and enduring through time
and enterity. No one ever gets so low
down in the depths of sin and misery
but what a mothers love will enfold
them. Her hopes may be blasted and
her pride and faith crushed, but her
love remains strong and true through
all times.
Kansas is all right. OF course she
is. she is the Italy of America and
the sunny side of creation. True,
the unruly winds that be-
long to other States, become too OBJ
streperous and break out and over
into Kansas, but they soon become
ashamed of their wild raid and go
sneaking back TO the bad lands of
Dakota. Then Kansas smiles and
bushes as if conscious of being caught
in bad company.
March first will witness many
changes. There will be some move
into town and others will move out.
Drouth in western Kansas and Ne
braska landed many "floaters" in our
midst and when spring opens up
many of them will leave for other
parts. Among them are several good
that we wish would stay; but
every farm for rent has been taken up,
and they will be deprived of farm
for this year. Changes in the country
will be about the same.
st. Valentines day has come and
gone. There was no mating in lola
that we know of, but there was smil-
ing and frowning alternately, all day
long, at the postoffice as the eager
dear young folks, and some older
ones, called for and received the large
and ugly. but more frequently, pretty
and dainty envelopes from their
enemy. We know one
girl who received a valentine with
the poem 40 the One L Love-" and
nom she u-ants To find the narsnn who
