Neighbors Were Libe ral.

The Tribune received too late for publication last week a re- port in detail of the help given Bud Hayhurst near Maple, who lost his barn by fire on Feb. 9, mention of which was made in this paper two weeks ago.
 The sum of S162.O5 was made up and new frame barn 32x32 has been built, all the result of the work of sympathizing neigh bors. Hayhurst's loss was about 5000, including three horses of his own and one of his father, John Hayhurst's. The fire was discovered about 1 o'clock in the morning after the roof was falling in, too late to save any thing. Mr. Hayhurst is hard- working man and stands we'll in his community, which fact is strongly attested by the way his neighbors have gone to his relief. It is hard to believe that any one could have been so low as to touch fire to his barn.

A Remarkable Change.

For the yast six years the Har- rison Republican has devoted much of it's valuable space to fulsome praise of our townsman John I. Warrington, who as Register of the Land Office, and twice candidate for Governor has been much in the public eye. If the Republican has any influence at all, it must long ago have con- vinced the Republicans of the section that Mr. Warrington was leader in it's party, whose ability and character fully justi- fled the very highest considera- tion and reward; and that he should have the support of his fellow Republicans at home against all corners from the out side at least.
 In view of this time honored policy it seems strange now to find the Republican undertaking by argument and illustration to show that it has been wrong all this time, and that Mr. Worthing- ton does not even deserve the support of the paper which his money and patronage has kept alive.
 This is not an affair in which Democrats are supposed to take much interest, but the inconsis- tency of the Republican stands out so conspicuously as to at tract attention regardless of party.-Harrison Times.

T emperance Fcr!.,s Indignant.

Some of the temperance a0vo- cat s in the county ate inclit ad to resent the imputation made hv Representative Granger in K. planation of his vote against the Gam Prohibition bill, which credits temperance people with a share of the responsibility for condition the advocates com. plained of in urging the Gam bill in preference to constitu. tional amendment, viz; that fair expression could not be had from the people in an election.
 While the allegation would ap. pear unjust, yet an analysis of the situation certainly does not reflect credit upon the temper ance people of the state as a whole in regard to this matter.
 If temperance people are in the majority in the state, and there is reason to believe they are, as majority of the state goes dry, they could correct these election abuses ard abso. lutely control the "machinery"| if they would put the cause of temperance above political pref. udices.
 The trouble with many tem. perance advocates is they pray for the cause of temperance the night before the election and go. to the polls and vote for a ''sot" for office because he happens to wear d certain political br and, Men in office control the entire election methods, and whiskey people can always get in their. work with officers who drink itH This is positive condition and little hope of real reform againss intemperance can be hoped for as long as people in favor of
 whiskey are left to govern iI elections. Strike at the root ot the evil if you W uld make you efforts count.@

Sick Headache

T have been frequent sufferer from sick headache for years, yet never would use headache tablets. My son persuaded me to use Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills during one of these attacks, and to my surprise 1t gave me speedy relief"
 MRS. LOUISE LEWELLYN,
 Powell, s. D. When the disturbance which causes headache affects the nerves at the base of the brain, which con meet with the large nerves that run to the stomach, heart and lungs, it frequently causes headache with vomiting-sick headache.
 Dr. Miges' Anti- Pain Pills soothe the irritated brain nerves and the cause of pain is removed.

NEWSPAPER CUSTOMS
Some Things Have Dropped
 Out of Common Usage

In the art of building news paper, customs change as we'll as in nearly everything else. Many old stereotyped expressions and common usages have gone out.
 You seldom ever see an editor allude to himself any more as Eye editor," an expression that was very popular fifteen or twen- ty years ago.
 In reading the report of a birth you are hardly ever given the assurance that "both mother and child are doing well' or even the gladstone news that "John will recover"
 "Congratulations'' are not off, fered so profusely any more, while sympathy" is being with held to great extent. The use of these expressions in reports of marriages, bereavements and events of like nature have be- come monotonous and show to be only words of mere formality. Those feelings are being taken forgranted, leaving their space to something Of more general interest
 "Gards of thanks" while yet in vogue 10 an extent, are doom- ed to pass out. Humanity un- derstands that the human heart beats with sympathy and words need not be chosen to pass through public print in order to convey a thought that is even more legible upon the face of the writer.
 The habit of lying is one that is hard for the average newspa- per man to break away from l; but it is matter of congratula. tion that some progress is being made in that direction. The ed itor is liar by force of habit, and never does there attach to his prevarications criminal in . tention. He begins lying when he writes up the politician who starts out for office and by the time he gets through with the campaign, he (the editor) is sc conscience hardened that af ter that even in reporting weddings or other society doings he drops in a few "whacks" in order tc keep in practice, or perhaps for variety sake.
 The tendency of the sphere o1 a newspaper is more toward the news of the community. Solv- ing the tariff question and set ting the people right upon mon- etary matters are no longer sub- jects to engage the country eGi- tor. It is regarded his business to tell the news of his particular field and fight the battles of his town.

time.
 There is no cure for the dis ease, but there are many ways in which the effects of it can be combatted.
 We buy, consume and destroy pile of stuff there is no need for. Merchants should diseour- age this character of business. There is all kinds of things ship ped in here that we could raise in plenty. Hundreds of dol lars are sent out every year for green fruits, canned fruits, pick les, potatoes and even onions, and there is no shadow of reason for it. We can and do produce all this stuff we need for home consumption. We could stand higher prices locally on these products if we pay it to the pro- ducer and keep the money at home. Buying away from home that we have here is ex- travagance in it's most aggravat- ed form.
 We as community must take our place among the countries that produce some- thing to sell those from whom we buy. What does Kansas use of our products to even that flour account? What does any other section use of our products, or how much do we have to ship them in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars our local merchants are sending away every year? Just a few mules, what poultry and eggs the good women produce, and a few hogs many of which ought to be kept at home instead of being shipped out, and not great many other things could be enumerated.
 The one effective means to combat this business is to go in- to production of things on a large scale. The only thing that makes progress of "s drop in the bucket' is something upon the scale of canneries. Green For est sends out one brand of of an article while making use of thousands of those put up in other sections. Let us make that big one. One hundred thousand dollars of "Green For est High Grade" tomatoes ought to be shipped out during the pre- sent year. It is within the bounds of possibility to do it.
The Green Forest tribune., 1909-03-19
Too Much for Tomatoes

"The canning company is paying too much on contracts for tomatoes this year," said J. B. Reeves to The Tribune editor the other day. ''The market won't justify it. If had staid in the factory this year the price would have come down a nickle or more on the hundred. Con- tracting at 40 cents a hundred on the present market of 80 cents 9 dozen, don't look good to me-" said MT. Reeves as he sighed a little as though he was glad he is out.
 It is fact that the local facto. ry is holding the price up in the face of very discouraging mar ket condition. No other factory in the country is paying the prices given here. Even Mark ley and Yocum pay only 50 cents a hundred, while in the tomato growing section of Indiana, and other places, Mr. Reeves says, the prevailing price is 9 ce nts.
 Nobody, however, can have any kick coming, if the prices here don't pan out but the can ners who made them. The grow CTS are certainly on the safe side and the canning company is mighty good for it's promises. So we are assured of good prices even if the market should go lower.
