take for man to learn 600 OF 100

Certainly it ought not tn take any great

perence l know that it does not. Of

have worked out, and it has been of
vast benefit to me. and has enabled
me to learn number Of languages.
1t occurred to me while 1 was in Mex
leo few years ago on important bust
ness. l could net speak a word Of
Spanish, and could not understand the
language. l concluded that 1 would
learn the language. My plan was sim
ply this: l made up my mind that I
would not retire at the close tf any
day as long as l was there without
learning at least three words in Span
ish, how to pronounce them and what
they meant. That would give me
ninety words per month, or something
over 1000 in a years time. 1 stuck
to the task. and l was tn re nine
months, and as a result of my system
1 was not only able to converse in
Spanish, but carried on my CORE
spondence in Spanish. don't suppose
1 could write an essay in the language,
: but 1 can speak it, write and under
stand it, and it was all brought about
by the three words a day system"

almost everywhere. Some women in
crossing the strest, holding their

town ought TO 20 dry-but the funny
part of it was, they voted it net.
Well, lot IL see whore We are at
Walden has always been a license
town. And by a very decisive ma
jority on April LIST it was decided to
continue SO. This is a mistake. We
should think that the time had come
whsn Walden would sec that It is to
It's own Interest to have no saloons.
Has it come to this that whiskey
drinking is . necessity to its very sx-
istence. While it may seem that way
to some people, 1t q far from the fact.
And Walden il the best possible il
lustration Of this proposition. Wal
den never has made rapid growth,
but there has been steady increase
in building and population, but not
. like increase IN value of property
After house is built in Walden, 1t
does not seem to increase its value,
but rather the reverse is true. Why
is this? This situation is not right.
Something is wrong. What is it?
And besides, in order to carry license,
was 1t necessary to vote everybody,
even at the risk Of squeezing in few
illegal votes and thus re.
buke, IN so strong way, the efforts
of the no license party? Would not
a bare majority have been sufficient?
The two leading candidates had a
vote of SO to 32, al most to !, and
the rest OF the ticket IS to "a, nearly
three to one. Is that not almost
too much? 1t is excessive. That
vote says practically to the people,
I'VE propose to have license whether
the other folks want it or not
This spring was a good time
for change At least to try some
thing else. But the vote last Tues
day said: mo sir! We don't want
any. We won't have any," Very
well, ~ the minority under our forms
of government are bound to do, we
will abide the results as best we can.

trustees, and we shall wait aud hope,
if We can, to see good results; and
so far as tue UNION is Individually

be glad to see you make great big
