There Is no excuse for a live man to
live 10 a town If he does not like 1t. If
you have no word of commentator to
say for your town, its institutions or peo-
pie, emigrate, scoot, get out. You won't
stop the towns growth if you go or stay
because it has grown beyond the bad in
fluence of any one individual. If you go
away the church bells will have b same
musical sound and the cheerful citizen
will be just as happy after you have van
ished. AS a part of the community you
cut ice, but as an individual you are un-
important. Don't overlook these points
when you are asked to talk for your town.
A town is Judged by its people, its pro-
gress in morals, improvements and adj
vancement along the lines of modern
thought and action.
-Whst is home without a paper? A
home without a newspaper is no home at
all. 1t is a kind of a dreary den-a rem
desvous of bed bugs and fleas, where the
inhabitants live in blissful ignorance of
what the world is doing. II is inhabit-

dirt, while the wife generally finds con-
ISOLATION in dsrning socks and Juggling a
pipe loaded with long, green tobacco, and
the man generally lives because he can't
die and he is too lazy to XIII himself. He
goes out on election days and does not
know who he is voting for, but just takes
the ticket bearing the name his great
great grandfather voted for-Ex.
Farmers are turning up the sod in
many fields; the early gardner is making
beds of various sizes and planting the
s%ucculent onion, with lettuce and radish
accompaniment. while the busy house
wife sends the kid to the back yard with
the brussels and whip to raise the dust.
And yet the weather remains cold and
%sour-spring, with its dissgreeable chill,
fingers and is inclined to lap over into
summer, and vegetation declines to vege-
tate to any appreciable extent. Trout
don't bite yet with the avidity the festive
angler could wish, and in short there's
"notbing DOING in any particular line
