Finally when you die, the paper

Finally when you die, the paper
will publish your obituary and will
g. II over your faults and will recite
the STORY OF your good deeds.
sAll these things the local e3jtor will
cause his paper TO do, but no one else
on earth will do them or can do them
for you even for love or money. The
outside paper is a stranger TO your
little world and Is not at all interest
ed in its mpIovcments. Yet your
local paper does all of this free Of cost
TO you, II you are willing to receive it
in that way. However, for your sake,
we hope you rare too generous to &C.
cept 50 many unrequited favors and
that you are willing to reciprocate the
same.
Help the editor. Be his friend and
he will prove his friendship to you.
Subscribe for his paper and pay for
it regularly in advance and get your
ncighbors TO do the sumo.
Send him the news, or occasionally
watermelon or peck OF peaches.
Invite him to your picnics and fam
lily dinners, so that he can eat a
square meal occasionally.
Don't call the ticket you give to the
church concert deadhead. He can't
buy tickets from everybody TO every
thing, but he will say kind words of
your performances and thus lead 9TH
ers to buy your tickets.
If you have anything to buy or sell,
let the paper assist you to find custom
ers. Advertising that really pays the
printer benefits both advertisers and
readers.
| II you have any job printing to d.
don't take it to outside offices, but
give your home paper a chance.
| Give the editor pointer occasion
ally, or write him sensible short arti
cles and don't get mad if he fails T.
see everything your way. When h
does say IA good thing, tell him so.
In short, remember the golden rul
and don't forget the editor of your 10
cal paper.

WHAT TO LIVE FOR.
Dear little people l love so well,

Dear little peopleI love so well,
Wherever your place may be; =
There's u beautiful secret long to tell, n
So come and listen to me.
When was child, in little town,
Oh, ever SO far away,
A beautiful spirit came floating down,
And whispered to me one day:
"Thcre's secret" the beautiful spirit said
"That even u child may know,
And they who know it are gladly led
Wherever their feet may go.
$50 sweet and simple the secret is,
Yet people are slow to learn,
And away from the pathway that leads tc
bliss
Their lingering faces turn.
$50 the little children must show them now
The happier way to choose,
For the hearts that are tender and loving nov
| VIII meyer the lesson lose.
''And this IL the wonderful secrets Live
For nothing but love each day
Not for love to keep. but for love to give
Forever to give away.
| There Is no life upon earth so poor
| But love 1t may give full well,
And the Joy Of giving is deep and sure,
| And richer than tongue can tell
| To sweeten life as we meet and part,
! We need but remember this:
X, carry always a tender heart
| For the tiuiest thing that is.
'1The wider the circle OF love we make,
| The happier life we live,
And the more we give for another's sake,
| The more we shall have TO give.
10 let US widen it day by day,
by loving little more,
Till nothing living be shut away
From share in the heavenly store.
"ris love and kindness alone can fill
Our hearts with the Joy Of living;
And ages wait but to do the will
OF the loving and the giving"
