Becker, who had been working IN
this office the past few weeks, was
suddenly called by telegram to go to
a sick brother out in Colorado, and
she left here Monday afternoon.
Consequently we had lonely time
getting out the journal.
Vesta Censor: The large barn on
the Jim Sloan so acre farm, north of
Seaforth, in Sheridan township.
burned down Sunday afternoon.
Some parties had been burning grass
down near the river that day and it
is supposed the barn caught from
this fire. The building belonged to
Geo. H. johnson of seaforth.
A city firm hung out sign, Boy
Wanted" In less than five minutes
a red-headed little chap stepped into
the office with the sign under his
arm. Say. mister" he said. did
you hang this out?' Il did," said
the proprietor. why did you tear
it down." Back of his freckles the
boy gazed in wonder at the the mans
stupidity. Why" he replied.
I'm the boy" And he proved to
be.
Frankline Tribune: Secretary E.
T S. johnson informs the editor that
the school board has decided to re-
duce the teaching corps to six teach
ers for the next school year. The
board finds that this step is neces-
sary in order to forestall the POSSIBLE
| ity of deficit. It is generally con-
ceeded that the local school will not
be able to get on the state high
school list for the present at least
and with the large state aid with
held the present regime is too ex-
pensiye.
| Springfield Advance: The Spring
field Produce company is about to
start up in business again on much
larger scale than ever before and
with an individual responsibility of
100000. The company will be re-
organized this week from among the
home merchants. all but two bust
nessmen becoming stockholders. Eas-
tern parties have become interested
in the enterprise and will handle all
the produce, etc., bought by the
company, thus insuring a ready
market at the best possible possible
market price.
1t is quite as impossible to keep
anarchists out of the country as it is
to keep bacilli out of milk, observes
the Philadelphia Record. The anar-
chist does not bring his anarchy
hither in his handbag or wear it any
where on the outside of his anatomy.
He has it secretly bestowed inside of
his mind. The professional mouth
! ing anarchists who make the preach
ing of anarchism an occupation and
a means of livelihood can be dealt
with. but the wretches who strike
and talk atterward, if they at all,
furnish one of the most battling
problems with which civilized socie-
ty has to deal.
When the voters of Independent
School District Of Granite Falls vot-
ed to bond the district in the sum of
Sl4, 900 for the building of an addi-
ton to the schoolhouse, because
more room had become absolutely
necessary, it was thought that with
this sum and the two thousand and
over IN the sinking fund the propos-
ed addition could be completed, says
the Journal. But these things al
ways cost more than first figures in
dictate, and this proposition proving
no exception to the rule, when the
building was finally completed the
board discovered the actual cost had
been about $4,000. This was quite
a deficiency, but all bills were paid.
and so far the amount, some 5000,
has been carried by the banks at a
rate of 6 per cent. This of course
cannot continue, and it has been de-
cided the best way out of the diff
Guilty is to ask the taxpayers of the
district to vote an additional Sc. 900.
