LONELINESS OF GREAT CITY.
No Interested Friends TO Enter Into
Joys and Sorrows.

If you hive In large city you are
lost. You are swallowed up by the
ocean of people around you. You
go down into the deep and that's the
last of you except perhaps an occa-
slonal bubble that may come to the
surface near where you were last
seen. says the Fremont co. Post.
There are so many people VINO can't
escape drowning. You can't make
friendships as you DO in smaller
place, where the individual isn't en-
tirely effaced by the mass. Society
is not what it is in the smaller place,
where the human element enters In
altogether In the larger place your
comings and goings are not noted by
your friends even, and never by the
newspapers, unless you are one of the
high financiers or packing-house
bunch. The births and weddings in
your family are of no more interest
outside your own fiat than are the
wreaths of smoke curling up into the
empyrean; no merry crowd OF in
terested neighbors with their warm
congratulations. The deaths bring lit
tie sympathy from the rumbling, rat
Ting world outside; no sorrowing ac-
quantances who have stood by you
through the long sickness; there is
little or none of that evidence of low
ing kindness that comes from neigh
bors and real friends in a small city
or town, where the dollar mark is not
written so large and so indelibly on
everything. 1t is paradoXical law that
where there are so many people there
are fewer friends, and when you di-
minish the number to a frontier com
munity where neighbors are miles
apart your friends are ready to take
their lives in their hands for you.

Tributaries to be Assessed.

The foreman Of the Paw Paw river
dram assessors informs US that they have
decided to levy the assessment on all
lands to the extreme limits of all trib'
utaries whose waters flow into the Paw
Paw river above the Crawford bridge in
Lawrence township. Eleven townships
will be affected. The assessors from
nine townships have already taken part
in the assessment and two more town
ships Hamilton and Porter will be in
cluded at the next meeting of the board.
The board is composed of an uncommon
ly good lot of men and very little differ
ence of opinion arises to mar their pro
ceedings. The lands to be directly
benefited by the proposed drain have
already been looked over, The tribu-
taries DOW remain for the boards further
attention.

What's In a Name.

You can't help the name you're born
with save by a cumbrous legal pro
cess. A correspondent cycling in
eastern England has happened on a
name which for oddly, is hard to
beat. From a shop window it was
blazoned forth, in naked ugliness-
Hogshesh How Dickens would have
delighted in it, The owner is more
heavily burdened even than the bear
ers of Ebenezer-on whose hard lot
the window had recently something to
say; more to be sympathized with
than those Norfolk Howards who
were once Buggs.-London Chronicle.

PRIMARY REFORM.

Ii is we'll understood that the repub-
licans of Van Buren, county have never
been enthusiastic in favor of primary re-
form-so called. Indeed the system has
been repeatedly condemned by republi-
can conventions composed OF many OF
the foremost citizens of the county and
that method of selecting candidates for
official positions is no more popular with
Van Buren, republicans than it was
when those resolutions were adopted.
We do not here specially allude to the
Objectionable features of this modern
scheme-and they are many-but to call
it an expression of the people S choice is
a misnomer.
Witness the recent nominations for
members of the constitutional conven-
ton in Wayne county. There were three
republican candidates to be nominated
in each of the four senatorial districts of
that county. In the first district the
nominees received approximately 8, 1919
and l6 per cent of the total republican
vote; in the second district they re-
ceved 8, 10 and l419 per cent of such
vote; in the third district AZ, 8 and 8
per cent; in the fourth district 7. 10 aud
IL per cent. Good men may have been
selected, we do not intimate to the con-
trary, but there can be no doubt that
equally as good men would have been
chosen-perhaps not the same men-by
the time-honored convention method
Every one of these nominees was Sc
ected by small fraction of his party,
and this will be found to be the case
everywhere the primary system is in
vogue. Instead of this city made and
much lauded plan being called Primary
Reform" it ought to be labeled primary
Humbug."

Wealth and Generosity,

Great wealth is misfortune, be.

There can be no generosity where
there is no sacrifice; and a man who

A Spider Factory.

In the forests of New Guinea there
are factories whose workmen are
spiders. These hideous spiders, with
bodies as big as saucers, make fish
nets for the cannibal natives. The
natives set up in the forest long poles,
with wooden rings at the upper end
net frames. The spiders, seeing these
contrivances, run to them joyfully.
Here, they think, is a fine net ready
started. The outermost circle is al
ready made. And they weave their
coarse, strong webs within the wood
en- rings, and, when the nets are quite
finished, the natives come, drive away
the insect worEmen, and. taking up
their spider-made nets, set off gravely
on fishing excursion.

South American oil.Rirds.

One of the animal curiosities of
South America is the "oil-bird," or
guacharo. 1t breeds in rocky caves
on the mainland, and one of its fav-
orite haunts is the Island of Trinidad.
1t lays its eggs in a nest of mud, and
the young birds are prodigiously fat.
The natives melt the fat down in clay
pots and produce from it a kind of
butter. The caves inhabited by the
birds are usually accessible only from
the sea, and the hunting of them is
sometimes an exciting sport.

turf with a golf ball; or plunging
madly after a tennis ball? Au con-
