Atchison Globe: Put your money in
circulation. The Globe should have
built it's new office fifteen years ago.
1t would have been a profitable in
vestment: modern things pay for
themselves; For years we froze every
winter in the old office. The trouble
with the new one is to keep it cool
enough. If you have in mind an i'm
provement that will make your home
easier. don't put it off forever, as we
did Live while you are on earth. Do
something for the town while you live.
Don't devote all your energy to piling
up money and worshippfng it.
There is but two weeks till Christ
mas, and in that time every one will
be busy making their Christmas pur-
chases. When you get down to the
boys list call at Towards Sporting
Goods store and get him something he
target rifles, punching bags, Indian
clubs, dumb bells, etc. Nothing would
please him better.
Atchison Globe: Dirt is contagious.
If anybody doubts it, let him observe
the streets. Uttered with all sorts of
rubbish, they offer a positive invita-
ton to everybody to toss or sweep his
surplus matter into them. If the
streets were kept in proper state of
cleanliness no decent person at least
would think of throwing anything
upon the roadway or in the cutters
There is also a moral effect. Clearly
surroundings beget clean habits. Chill
dren going to and from school are
unconsciously Influenced by what they
see, and dirty streets being a standing
example of untfdiness in those to
whom the naturally look for leading,
they grow Indifferent and careless.
Thus the liberation of dirt on the
streets becomes not only a menace to
health but an influence for evil. Con-
stderations of this sort may have no
place in the average aldermanic mind
which seems to take its inspirations
from medieval times, when the pub
lie thoroughfares were the common
sewers.
