Occasionally a man is found in
every community who thinks he
cannot afford to be a subscriber to
a local paper, says an exchange.
Does he take out his, pencil and
figure in a cool methodical way
the cost of a weekly paper at
one dollar a year? Does he
calculatingly prove that this ex-
pense is but two-bits for thirteen
weeks, eight and a third cents a
month, less than two cents a
week, a quarter section of a cent
a day? Does he, in fairness to
himself, make comparison to this
newspaper expense with his to-
bacco bill or other indulgence,
wpich he might forego with pro-
fit? Not much. That daddy
dollar which pays for the local
paper has been dangling before
his eyes and growing bigger at
every glance, until it assumes the
proportion of a Farris wheel in
his imagination. No citizen can
afford to be without a local
paper, and all of the newspapers
in his neighborhood, for no one
paper can give all the happenings
of human interest. 1t is safe to
say that SIS a year represents the
actual value of a newspaper to
the average subscriber. There
are ideas advanced and sugges-
tons given, the value of which
to the reader is little thought of.
AS a business proposition the
local newspaper is worth many
times the remarkable low SUBJ
scription price asked, saying
nothing of the question of senti-
ment.-Ex.

Here is something for young
Americans to read and ponder
over In one of his speeches,
Governor Hughes of New York,
said: ''You don't make Wash
ington's by making them COM
manders-in-cheif. You don't
make Lincolns by electing them
president. You don't make
Grants by putting them in charge
of the army. They were in their
boyhood and young manhood.
They were simply discovered at
the time when they were needed
by their country. That is what
the American boy wants to learn
to be in the position to be dis
covered so that they can make
good, for the yearning country
demands that in our American
young manhood. F"

What is the matter with the
village council or the business
men of our city making up a
purse and purchasing a piece of
land near town to be used as a
base ball park and fair ground.
If we intend keeping up the an
nual carnival it will soon develop
into a good sized fair and we will
need place each year large
enough to display our resources
and at the same time accommo-
date such sports as will be on
the program. A suitable tract
of land can be secured as cheap
now as at any time and there is
no question but that it will be
needed. The base ball team will
no doubt put part of the ground
in shape for a ball diamond at
their own expense and it would
not take much more to fix up a
circular race track and a place for
the carnival displays. We be-
lieve this is a matter which
should have consideration, for if
we are to make this town as
good as it should be we must all
work toward building it up
socially and attract people to us
because of our treating them
right and showing them a good
time.

We believe the time is now ripe
for the organization of another
Commercial Club in Cottonwood.
There are a number of matters
of importance to the welfare and
upbuilding of our city that should
be taken up this spring and they
can be handled better by a
Commercial Club than in any
manner. This will be an import
ant year for Cottonwood and
our citizens should get together
in such shape as to handle all i'm
portant matters with dispatch.

The ground is rapidly drying
and in a few days it will be in
shape to permit a collection of the

our spring ''house cleaning"

rubbish should be collected and
carted away to the city dump.
Let us have another clean

presentable. It needs it.

Nature is honest, you cannot
cheat her. The farmer who
tries to see how little cultivation
is necessary for a crop will get
just what is coming to him.
The soil will respond only in pro-

is a very simple statement; a
simple answer to a simple prob
lem; yet many farmers ignore it

HE KNEW ABOUT LAWYERS.
And That Was Why He Was Not In

The sudden manner in which the
team that was coming down the road
halted was enough to show that the
driver was surprised at something. He
took his hat off and waved it at a man
who was working in the field, at the
same time calling at the top of his
voice:
"S-a-a-y, t-h-e-r-e"'

who was working as he came and

TIE DISPENS.ARY MESS.
What Senator Tillmau Thinks Of the
Whole Matter.

In speaking Of the ~dispcnsary mess
in Columbia senator Tillman express
cs himself in his usual plain manner:
The trouble would have Oc-
cured said the senator to The
States correspondent, "if the legis-
laturc had never placed the funds in
to the hands OF Il commission which
could take the money out Of the State
treasury. DO YOU suppose that If the
money had been in the State treas
ury and the regular officers Of the
State in charge OF it, any federal
Judge whould have dared to touch it?
Judge P~ritchard's action had for its
ground the fact that the commission
was acting merely as trustees for
the State, and he holds that this
places them in the same position RS
trustees or agents for any business
concern. There is something pecu-
liar about this commission business
anyway. | have been trying to end

have approved? They hadn't paid
