The Old Subscriber.

We sometimes wonder if news
paper men generally appreciate the
old subscriber at his trade value.
We mean the stand by who takes
the paper year after year through
evil as we'll as through good report,
and pays his subscription regularly
just the same as he would any other
honest debt. AS a general thing
the old subscriber is patient and
slow to wrath. He will overlook
many little Sights from the editor
which the man who bor-
rows his reading would not stand
for minute. If one of his calves
gets It's leg broken and the fact
isn't mentioned in the next issue
he doesn't seem to feel the slight in
the least, or if a half dozen of his
hens die with cholera morbus and
the editor doesn't set out a two
dollar ad to make room to herald
the news to a waiting world, he
just worries right along as though
he had not been mistreated at ALL
He is always jolly-never fails to
ask ''how's tricks" when he comes
into office, and drops a word of
praise for the paper upon taking his
departure. God bless the old sub
scriber. We love him, and if we
sometimes slight him in order to
give space to some sap head who
isn't worthy to buckle his shoes, it
is because he is so broad minded
and charitable that he will never
mind it.

and bundles the guests had brought
with them. Among the other
things was a cake with MARY"

out a candle, if successful they we're
to be married within the year.
The sight of those beautiful young

DIR. Gault's fine mare engaged
in a kicking spell all by her lonely
at the Thompson & Ludschka barn
where she is domiciled the other
night. After demolishing a por-
ton Of her stall the spirited animal
undertook to jump over the balance
but was unsuccessful. Instead she
became impaled on the partition
and a piece of board pierced the
body badly. Veterinarian Duncan
was summoned and did what he
could to save the unfortunate
animal, notifying DR.. Fullerton of
Dubuque to come to his aid. The
mare was given chloroform but to
no effect and three brahms of opium
were administered in one dose.
This had the desired results and the
equine physicians were enabled to
restore the protrudlng parts to
their proper places and sew up the
wounds. The animal is recovering
nicely. DR.. Fullerton is assistant
state veterinarian in Iowa. He
claimed that only one case in
twenty of such nature was ever
successfully COPIED with. DR.. Dun
can is deserving of credit for his
care and attention to the wounded
beast.
-Supt. Nye goes to Fennimore
this afternoon to hold examinations
for teachers for the northern part
of the county. This completes the
spring series of examinations.
Classes have generally been small
as most of the teachers write in
August when the schools are in va
cation and a large portion of the
teachers hold second or first grade
certificates which are good for three
and five years respectively.

The doctors don't like the rural
telephone. It causes the people to
delay calling them till the last min
ute. AS many ailments are worse in
the evening it increases the doctors
night calls. Instead, of coming in
after him and returning him folks
telephone him and he has to use his
own horsefesh to make the call.
The old way was to tell the doctor
to come back next day sure and see
the patient. Now he is told that he
will be telephoned if needed. The
doctors even complain that folks
want absent treatments by phone.
They give the doctor their symp-
toms and ask him to prescribe.
One doctor says he has even had
them hold the baby up to the
phone so he could hear it cough.

Let every farmer in the vicinity
of Lancaster plant small patch
of sugar beets this spring, and give
them careful attention during the
summer, reporting the result to the
Herald after harvest. They will be
of more value than corn to feed to

in demonstrating the value of the
soil in this vicinity for the culture
of sugar beets. With good reports
the attention of the sugar-factory
capitalists can be secured, and then
it would not be hard to secure
factory. Let the farmers take the
lead in this move. In case farmer
wishes to raise a large field of beets
he can secure very cheap freight
rates by taking up the subject with
the GAINESVILLE factory.
