NeighbOrlineSS as known in small
communities is an all but forgotten
art in cities.
Give me the woman who smiles be-
cause she cam help it, and the man
who laughs and doesn't know it,
They are the sort of people to live
with.
United States Senator Samuel II e.
Piles, is always himSelf-never fill
ing part or playing for safety.
Discrimination vaniShcS at his breezy
presence, and his gay veracity and
unequivocal good faith win all hearts.
He cheers up the spirits and restores
the feeling that there is on this old
planet, politician whose word is rs
good Us gold. He is like an oasis in
the desert of arid Wilson Jones -Perk-
ms talk, bubbling with fresh waters
and rich with verdurous blooms
and winding messy ways. y
A very subducd-loOking boy of
about IL years with long scratch on
his nose and an air of general dejec-

his seat, and became deeply absorbed
in his book The note read:
Teacher - Please excuse Eddie
fer not bein' their yesterday. He
played trooant. but you don need
to lick him fer it as the boy he play
ed trooant with an him fell out, an
the boy licked him, an man they
checked caught him an licked him,
the driver of wagon they hung on
to licked him also. Then his pa licked
him, an had to give him an
other for saSsing me fer tellin' his
pa, so you need not lick him until
next time. think he feels he bet

Pathetic, pitiful. and tear-bringine
stories are appearing Us to the milk
of human kindness pulsating ir
Ankeny'S veins. OF how lad was
left fatherless, with mother and
family depending upon him for sup
port; how, when the mortgage was
due he went to Ankeny and told him
he could not pay it; Ankeny asked
him if he could not work the farm
the lad replied he had no seed wheat
Ankeny told him that he would fine
seed for him, and not to fear abou,
the mortgage, and 10, and behold, the
lad farmed the land, and next yeal
he paid Ankeny every dollar he oweC
him, besides putting 81, 900 in tn,
bank, above all expenses. Isn't this
grand and delightful to read O
Ankeny. Now ii S up to some pOol
rancher in Eastern Washington tC
write story How Ankney Fore
closed When My Mortgage Becam,
Due. Such an article may bring
tears, too.
