RITZVILLE, SEPTEMBER II, 1901.
In this advanced age nothing worth

In this advanced age nothing worth
doing is attempted without the aid OF
newspapers and periodicals to advance
each special line. The merchant or
tradesman who does not keep posted
Is to the wants of his customers fails
in his business. The mechanic who
does not keep posted as to all new in
ventions and the best methods for the
performance OF his work gets left. So
it is that the people Of this, the great
est country on earth, who look to the
newspapers for that which is being
done or is contemplated. Many Of
The greatest achievements have been
brought about solely by suggestions
and encouragement through the me-
dunn of the press, the power OF which
is becoming more apparent as time
passes.

Whether it pays to educate ones self
is no longer debatable question. Evil
dences are numerous on every hand to
prove the affirmative. The time was
when the educated COPIED with the I'M
educated, but times have changed and
the young man who enters upon business
finds himself surrounded by trained COM
petitors; he is in competition with cd
ucated men. Not many years ago it was
rare thing to see college graduate in
the community while now we find pro-
auctions of our colleges and high-schools
by the score in every community. Our
friends sometimes cry down education
and point out some one who has not had
the opportunities Of an education and
yet has made a fortuue. We are not
discussing the commercial advantages Of
an education and yet this very individual
to whom we are referring might have
done better with proper training. We
are sometimes referred to millionaires
who have made their money with little
education. Our friends sometimes say
these men do not believe in education
and yet these same millionaires give vast
sums of money to educational institutions
and surely these men feel their loss. In
studying Geek history one is impressed
with the fact that training was factor
in the success Of almost every man who
has won a place in the hearts of his
countrymen, whose memory was per-
petuated. Every man is king, every
woman queen, the realm they rule is
the soul. Education expands the soul,
enlarges the kingdom; the greater the
realm the greater the ruler. Hence
education makes men and women greater.
The young man who expects political
Preferment must master the English
language;must know history we'll; should
be conversant with sciences and mathe-
metics; he will find intimate acqua amt
ance with literature indispensable.

Young man or woman, don't be
ashamed to work nor of evidence
of hard work on your hands or clothes,
says an exchange. Better twice over
pair of overalls Or calico dress soiled
by honest toll than a pair of creased
pants or a white summer dress that
father has to pay for. Don't cut across
lots to avoid meeting some one you know
because you do not look as tidy as you
would like to. No better people walk
in the streets than those who labor with
their hands. No man or woman on
earth should feel more proud than they
who earn the food they eat and the
clothes they wear,
