La Junta tribune., 1908-05-02

There are three things which no
man can do to the satisfaction of
other men make love, poke the
fire and run paper. No matter if
man has no more sense than an
oyster and does not know how many
toes he has, he always knows how to
run the paper better than the edi-
tor. And, what is more. he tells all
about it in the street car. But, de-
spite all this valuable advice that is
wasted. the editors still go on MAX
ing blunders and money. The old
fashioned editor who had to be all
things to all men is passing away.
The time has come when man who
runs a paper is his own master. -
William Allen White.

A Sunday school teacher in Bryn
Mawr was questioning her class
about some prominent men of the
Old Testament. Now. Henry. can
you tell me who was the wisest man
in the Bible2" she asked. NOAH"
Henry answered promptly. ''Oh.
no. Henry the teacher said, you
mean Solomon. don't you?" mo.
a'am; | mean Noah. What
makes you think Noah was the
wisest man. We'll" said Henry.
my papa says man like Solomon

blamed old fool, while Noah knew
enough to get in out of the wet

La Junta tribune., 1908-05-02

The intoxicated individual who,
after humping into the same tree
thirteen times, bemoaned the fact
that he was lost in an impenetrable
forest, is no greater disgrace to
modern civilization than the hero Of
this story:
A citizen of Swink. who had
looked upon the wine when he was
no longer sure what color it was, in
the course of his journey home en-
countered a tree protected by an
iron tree-guard. Grasping the bars,
he cautiously felt his way around it
twice.
Curse it!' he moaned, sinking to
the ground in despair. Locked
in!"
La Junta tribune., 1908-05-02

The editor sat in his office whence
all but him had fled. and he wished
that every deadbeat was in his grave
stone dead. His mind then wan
dered far away to the time when he
should die. and his royal editorial
soul go scooting to the sky; when
he'd roam the fields of paradise and
sail DER jasper seas and all things
glorious would combine his every
sense to please. He thought how
then he'd look across the great gulf
dark and drear. .that'll yawn between
his happy soul and those who
swindled here. and when for water
they would call and in agony they'd
caper, he'd shout to them. Just
quench your thirst with the due

A Cooperative Creamery

+. w. Warner and Ed Lins are pro-
noting scheme for cooperative
creamery, and will, If sufficient en-
couragement is given, organize an in
stitution that will have for its object
the benefit OF the people in Philips
trade territory who want to get
g good returns from their cows. Mr..
Warner and Lins are public spirited
m en- and are working at this plan
with this end In view. The
C reamery company is to be organized
on strictly cooperative plan. The
capital stock is to be $1,000 and is to
be sold in the form of shares at the
par value of $40 each. All persons
are to be free to buy limited amount
as long as the shares last, but no one
man will be allowed to purchase a
controlling interest. 1t is hoped by
this means the creamery can be run
by those who own the cows and that
the highest prices will always be
paid for the cream. A competent
butter maker will be employed and
the plan of management left to the
stockholders themselves. Let us boost
this along. 1t will be one more en-
terprise of which our booming town
can be proud.

has won her heart and hand. The
groom Is a stranger here, but those

We Celebrate


Last Saturday the town Of Philip
spread itself out and over ran the
neighboring towns with its jubilant
enthusiasts, who were anxious to
celebrate the Glorious Fourth In the
proper manner. After we had crowd
ed all of our people into Midland
that that enterprising town would
hold, we went over to Cottonwood,
Milesville and Topbar with the rest
and filled up all of those thriving,
wide awake places. But still there
were some of us left over and 1t was
necessary for the stragglers and
wanderers to get out upon the broad
bottoms of Bad river and content our
selves with picnicing.
The writer was among those pic
nicers, and we certainly celebrated,
and more than that we had good
time. We fished and made ice
cream and watched the youngsters
fall into the water, get wet, and dry
off and fall in again. We shot (at)
prairie dogs and watched young
America shoot fireci ackers, and when
it grew dark we returned home
covered with mosquitoe bites, Bad
Lands dust and ''jiggers, and full
of weariness, red pop and content
ment.
The great day was properly cele-
brated, even if the towns were too
crowded to hold us all.
