An old thresherman wants the
newspapers of the state to commence
now and keep pounding away at the
tact that it does not pay to run the
risk of threshing grain out of the
shock. lie says no one knows Or re-
allies the amount of wheat spoiled
last season by farmers leaving their
grain standing in the shock instead
of stacking it at once.-Herald, Lu-
verne.
Any person sending us items that
can be used in our columns, their
name being signed to such items, we
will pay Soto cover the cost of postage
and paper. This amount will be paid
in money or allowed on subscription.
Items sent in that we cannot use will
not be paid for but every legitimate
item will be acceptable. We want
the news and are willing to pay this
expense to obtain them. An account
will be correctly kept with each con-
tributor.
! Supt. Porter extends general in
vitati on to all to visit the school next
Friday which is designed as visitors
day. Every parent should endeavor
to visit our school especially on this
day that they may see andappreciate
the work that is being done in the
school and realize the efforts that are
being put forth to advance their child
rem in educating. In making this
visit it would show the pride and in
terests taken in their childrens ed,
ucation encouraging the scholars and
their teachers.
Every dollar that you spend al
home helps to make times for your
self and the whole community better
says one paper. Every dollar 20,
send away helps to make times bet
ter in some other place. 1t is the
greatest mistake that was ever mad {
, to think on the whole that you save
money because you can buy some ar
: ticle out of town a few cents cheape
l than you can at home, perhaps with
out trying. If you have any REGARD
for the prosperity and wellbeing o
> your town, patronize first and Away
as far as possible all home institu
