Short Sighted Economy

The supervisors down in Franklin
have got into serious middle by
doing business Of which there was no
record in the published record. In
some counties the board makes great
pretense of economy by boiling down
the amounS of proceedings solely on
account of the expense of publishing
same as provided by law, but they
generally get caught up in the practice
as in this instance. 1t is short sighted
economy to suppress proceedings TO
keep from paying the printer.
Publicity is worth great deal more
than it costs and the public official
who reaches the point where he
evidences desire to suppress details
of official transactions is approaching
time when it is wisdom to retire
him to private life. Mason City Times

Mason City gets Cement Plant

Options were secured Friday for 200

These men, with Attorney Dwight
Harrison, of Columbus, Ohio, were
in the city a week securing the option.
A series of experiments were made
during the summer by representatives
of the Portland Cement company and
the land Is found to contain from
twenty to twenty five feet of cement
stone of the highest quality. 1t has
been analysed at Ames and by the ex-
pert OF this company. 1t is estimated
the deposit will keep a mill running
3, 200 barrels day, for fifty years
before the supply is exhausted. The
company will be known as the Iowa
& Portland Cement Company, and it
argees to build a ST., 500, 600 plant. OF
this amount Mason City will take one
sixth or $3.50, 600 of the capital stock.

A New Years Thought.

Good sense: Sometimes YOU see a
lovable old woman, whose age is as
beautiful as was the bloom of her
youth, and YOU wonder how it
happened. Well this is how: She
learned how to forget disagreeable
things. She did not give way to her
nerves and infiict them on her friends
She mastered the art of saying things
She made whatever work she had to
do congenial. She did net lose sight
Of her illusions and would not think
all the world wicked and unkind.
She helped the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful. She
never forgot that kind words and a
smile cost little and are treasures to
the discouraged. She did unto others
as she would be done by, and her
reward is love and consideration in
her old age, and she has learned the
secret of a long and happy life.

Must Give New Bonds.

Attorney General Mullan has for
warded an iopinion to Treasurer of
State Gilbertson to the effect that
public officers whose terms have been
extended by the biennial amendment
must give new bonds.
This decision affects every county
treasurer in Iowa, and many other
officials. Literally, millions of dollars
of bonds have been given by these
officials, and under the decision of the
attorney general, they must be
renewed. The result will be to release
from liability large number of per-
snnal bondsmen on the first Monday in
January, provided their obligations
are not renewed, and the business of
tie bond companies will be immensely
increased. The renewal required
nnder the decision of the attorney
general will be for the one year
ending with December, 1906. The
attorney general does not believe that
it is within the power of the people,
even, to extend the liability of sureties
on the bonds already in force either
by the enactment of az amendment
TO the constitution, or of law in
the legislature. Register and Leader

New Years ON the Nile.

In all ages and all lands much i'm
portance has attached to New Years
day. In Egypt the new year fell be-
tween the 18th and the Doth Of June
and was called the might of the DROP
The sacred Nile was thought to flow
down from heaven. and at it's lowest
ebb-about the middle of June-a tear
from Isis fell into the stream and caus-
ed it to rise. Consequently at this sea-
son the priests and people kept a sleep
less vigil at the rivers shore, watching
for the miraculous rise which should
bring such riches to the whole land.
When the might Of the drop" came the
priests cleared the affairs Of old ashes
and. lighted the sacred fires for the new
year. Every one of the faithful car
ried coal from the altar to light the
fire at his own hearth, and from end
to end the land was ablaze with light.
The people put off their old garments
and arrayed themselves in white,
amounting their heads with sacred Oil,
browning themselves with flowers and
bearing palms i'm their hands, while
chants and songs and feasting and pro-
cessions filed the homes.

No Demand for Buffalo.

In one case at least an attempt to
make financial success OF the breeding
OF buffalo has dismally failed Three
years ago Burgess and Hanson bought
five buffalo ana took them to their
farm at Luana. 1t was planned to
make it the finest herd in existence,
but the animals did not like captivity,
increasing only to twenty head. II
was found there was no special demand
for them and that money was being
spent simply to create spectacle fol-
sightseers. As a result the affairs OF
the firm have been put into the hands
of receiver, and all the property,
including the buffalo was sold on
Friday.

A Few Health Suggestions.

Sleep with the windows open and
pile up the eiderdown blankets, but
do not shut the windows.
If you catch cold, go upon liquid
food for three days-milk, water and
raw eggs.
If you feel very tired, change your
footwear and go for mile walk.
II you feel cross, go for drive.
Ii your appetite is poor, don't try
to eat; is is a sign that your stomach
must rest
If your sleep is bad give ND trying
to sleep. In other words, wait until
you are sleepy. You can't force sleep
successfully.
If you feel i'll and don't know what
is the matter, take hot bath, drink
of herb tea and go to bed for twenty
four honrs.
If you feel cross and impatient, ir-
ritable and inclined to quarrel, it
means that your nerve centers are
disturbed Put ON good, seasonable
clothing and go out into the air.
Take your lunch and stay away a
whole day, if you can. You need the
solitary cure.
Make up your mind that you are
well and you will be we'll. Don t
go for the medicine bottle until every
thing else has failed. Let nature,
which means fresh air, do the work
of cure. Philadelphia Bulletin.

New Year. In Caesar. Time.

At the Roman festivals of the god
Janus, held on the calends Of January,
gifts and good wishes were exchanged,
friends met together, and feasting and
dancing, masking and mumming were
the order of the day. January derives
its name from the god Janus, who was
represented with two faces looking in
opposite directions, as the month was
considered both to look back upon the
past year and forward to that which
was coming.
