Once more we are face to face with
the Summer Boarder Problem" It is
now time for us to take our pen in
hand and dash of a red hot editorial
on the grave questshion, "Shall Bing-
vile Entertain Summer Boarders, or
Vice Versa 2"
With this IN mind we have went to a
good cal Of trouble to collect some
statisticks from prominent citizens and
others of Bingville and surrounding
country who have kept summer board
ers IN the past and what they think of
them from the standpoint Of profit and
loss Every summer just as regular as
summer comes city folks come into our
midst and desire to be boarded and
roomed for from two weeks to three
months disturbing the erstwhile quiet
and serenity of the town and cutting
all kinds of high jinks and maxim fools
outin themselves. Shall this continue!
Froc a commercial standpoint is the
suUmer boarder profitable 10 the farm
{. OF is the farmer profitable to the
summer boarder and il so, which IS
the more so?

boarders last summer, says if be lives

There was clean towels in their room

clean towels. This seems ridiculous
There IS q towel in the Bugle office we
have used off and on for the past seven
years without washing and it amt wore
out as yet
TO make matters worse two of Cy's
cows went dry and the boarders kicked
because they didn't get more milk. His
hens went back on him and they kicked
because they didn't get eggs. Cy also

pay that much.
Cy seems to voice the general opinion
Of many others in Bingville we have
talked TO. Luke Packard who also has
had some experience with summer
boarders says they be q nuisance. He
says they don't do nothing but go

The Wife as a HeIpmate.

Have you ever noticed how some
men prosper after marriage, while
others make no progress whatever,
and in many cases fail, after time,
to retain the position they had pre-
viously won? The reasons, Of course,
are many and various. Ill luck and
misfortune have a great deal to do
with many Of the failures. If a cen-
sus Of the true opinions of married
men were taken. however. it is safe
to affirm that the majority would be
found to confess that their prosperity
or failure. as the case might be, was
due to the woman they had married.
Lookers-on often see the wonderful
influence a wife can exert for the
good or evil of the man she had mar
ried. A wife who wishes to help her
husband to success must take a real,
practical interest in his work and do
ings. Not in an obtrusive, inquisi-
tive manner, which will irritate a man
and lead him to tell his wife not to
worry about matters which do not
concern her; but in a quiet, thought
full way; which will enable her to un-
derstand his difficulties, and sympa-
thize with him accordingly.

The Happiest Time.


There should be no happier time in
a girls life than the years from four
teen to twenty.
She should have no serious respon-
sibilities during those years. though
she should not be permitted to give
up her time entirely to frivoity.
She has much to learn, and her
character is usually in such a formt-
tive state that these years may be
the making or the marring of her
whole life. Individual needs must be
considered always, and solicitous pa
rents must remember that something
must be left to the girl herself, and
that close supervision does not mean
too close, which is about as bad as too
little. .......
There is no need to be discouraged
over the number of foolish fancies
which the girl will take up at this
time. for they are transitory and in
a few years she will be the first to
laugh at them.
The chief things are to lay the
foundation for true, womanly char
acter and make her girlhood 80 happy
that she would he only too glad to
live it over again. OF course, this
does not mean that she is to have Il
free rein.
