SEC. 3a. Every school district
heretofore formed, whether formed
under the general law or by special
act and whether the territory embraced
within its boundaries lies wholly with
in single county or partly in two or
more counties, is hereby declared to
be and from its formation to have

All bonds heretofore issued BY any
such districts which have been APP

registered by the Comptroller are
hereby declared to be, and at the time
of their issuance TO have been, issued
in conformity with the Constitution
and laws OF this State, and any and

Help the Hustlers.

If you want a live town. push
the huStlerS, is one of the adj
monishionS left by the great
Lincoln as a legacy to his coun-
trymen. Few towns are without
men who have more push and
energy than means to carry out
their plans.
Perhaps the hustler may DC,
casionally make a mistake; pos
sibly he may overreach in his
efforts to build up the town.
Better this than not to do it at
all. \ half dozen active men in
a town are worth more than a
hundred passive men.
No attention should be given
to the nominally rich of a town;
they are not usually liberal. 1t
takes more enterprise than
money to build up a town. Get
behind the hustler and keep
pushing; don't pull back.
If you can't push, crawl out
of sight and sit down. If you
can't say a good word, say moth
ing. We like to see a man who
lives so that his place will be
proud of him.
Be honest, hate no one; over
turn mans wrong doing, but
don't overturn him, unless it
must be done in overturning the
wrong. Stand with him when
he is right, part with him when
he is wrong. Exchange.
