It is all we'll enough to encourage

the gain to men in general compen-
safes but such dangerous ventures
as loop the loop" should be dis
couraged. Indeed they should be
prohibited by law and prevented by
the display of authority.
The ladies of the Improvement
League laid out some work at the
west side of the Cedar street bridge
year ago last spring to better the
aspect along the bank. They had
a wire fence built along the right of
way which answered for trellis.
Along this they set out vines which
now cover the fence and hide the
banks.
We had stiff frost the night of
the 18th of Sept. last year. 1t was
the first of the season but it was so
severe that it fixed the corn. Corn
was not mature at the time frost
appeared last year and it is now
two weeks behind what it was at
this time last year. We have had
no frost this year yet to damage
vegetation.
Students are in evidence in large
numbers. They give cheerful air
to the city by their brisk walk, their
jolly converse and smiling faces.
These are the men of affairs for the
years to come and the women.
Give them aid-the opportunities
and facilities for equipment to meet
the demands the future will make
upon them-and let them laugh now
and exult.

The schools have larger attend
ance than at the opening a year
ago. The pulic school has an en-
rollment of 1856, of which IS are in
the High school dept. The first
week last year the number in at
tendance was 339, of which number
rs were in the High school. These
numbers will be considerably in
creased as there are quite few on
the street or at work who by the
new law must put in eight months
attendance at school during the
year.
If you would economic you would
buy the best. Maple City Self

every cent invested in it. You do
not pay for resin, which has no

There have been a great many
pretty weddings" recorded this
season. Perhaps the weather was
more encouraging than usual. Or
perhaps times are better, enabling
the party of the first part" to Sc
cure the funds to provide for the
license and the parsons fee. The
stereotyped announcement, "pret-
ty wedding" applies equally to all
and probably refers to the flowers
and paint. 1t is inferred that the
use of the word pretty" is intend
ed to be compliment, and is sort
of an equivocation, an approxima-
ton TO beautiful.
