OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS

If you are working on a salary, if at
times your proprietor seems little
to exacting, if you feel occasionally
that you are putting in too long
hours, if at times your work has
tendency to wear on your nerves, if
you are beginning to be a little
dissatisfied and dscontented with
your lot, just straighten up and look
around you, take a walk up to one of
our public schools. the Howe school or
the Lincoln high school for instance,
watch the working and methods of
these teachers select some one of the
lady teachers that has a fair amount
of care and responsibility and keep in
touch with the daily work for a few
days or week, note the many little
perplexing things that come up in
nearly every hour of the day, then
notice the kindness and patience with
which. they deal with these little
annoyanceS and compare your life
with theirs. 1t will be good object
lesson and do you no harm, for if
there is any class of people in our city
that deserve the hearty support OF
our citizens it is the public school
teachers. If there is any citizen in
our city that is putting the best
effort of his life in his every day
work it is our public school teacher
Ii there is any citizen working on
salary that deserves an increase OF
salary it is Our public school teacher.
1t is doubtful if any other class OF
people can be found in this city that
are as thoroughly devoted to their
work and whose influence is felt to
such an extent as those in charge OF
our children and young people in the
public school and as these people do
their work and do it we'll week after
week, and month after month with
out word Of complaint, does it not
furnish an object lesson to those who
have less care and responsibility, less
to any and less number to please, to
be contented with their lot and more
thoroughly appreciate the services of
the public school teacher?

The expense Of making the emu
meration of about 100000 people,
the approximate population Of the
state. will be $4,000. In addition to
this is all the work in the secretary of
states office, printing, ETC., which
will bring the cost of taking the
census up to or above 100000. The

federal census in 1905 was 2,069, ,042,
and it is anticipated that next years

Anyone whose food does not digest
as it ought, who has to take thought
about when and what to eat, should
take advantage Of this generous offer
of John E. Daily.
Mi-o-na is almost invariably success
full in curing stomach trouble of all
kinds, from an acute attack of indi-
geStion to chronic case OF dyspepsia.
By its use new rich blood is made, the
weight increased and health restored.
If Mi-o-na were not successful in So
cases out of 100, an offer like this
would be ruinous. This offer shows
the great faith John E. Daily has in
the health-giving powers of Mi-o-na
and you should begin its use at unce.
Try it for month anyway. If it
fails to help you, the cost is absolutely
nothing, while il it does what is
claimed for it, the expense is trifling.

NEW METHOD

liz more ways than one the recent
political campaign in Wood county
was an eye opener, the absence of the
usual turmoil and glamour was motto.
able everywhere and even the spell
binders found their occupation gone
in most sections of the county, The
new methods of conducting campaigns
was significantly plain. The liberal
use of the advertising columns Of
newspapers was an innovation that
seems to have born good results and
has opened way for still more
rational campaigns in the years to
come. This is the Goth century and
the people are keeping step to the
march of progress and improvements.
The voters of Wood county largely
form their political opinion with the
same soberness of mind as they do
their business ideas. The people are
thinking more to-day than ever before.
They read more newspapers than ever
before. These newspapers furnish
the material for independent, political
thinking of thousands who we're form
orally reached only by extraordinary
methods. In many rural commu.
mites wherein former Presidential
torch light professions.
and spread eagle speeches heldsway
nothing of the kind occurred this year,
But the rural free delivery was taken
into every farm house, the political
news and political editorial. The
voter needed no brass band to teach
him that election was coming.
