should find upon close, honest in

only making reasonable and legltl-

them 90 ahead without let or him

whole matter with the Commission

June will be notable in astronomy.
There will be two ecipses-a total
eclipse of the full moon on the third
and a central eclipse of the sun on
seventeenth. The eclipse OF the moon
will be visible generally in North A
merica, except the northwestern
portion, and the eclipse of the sun
will be visible as a partial eclipse in
the United States and Canada, except
south of a line drawn from San Fran
cisco through Tucson, Arizona, to
Corpus Christi, Texas. The effect
of these phenomena will be to make
fishing better than it has been for

The wedding march will fill the land,

The Muse will rouse the village band
And Patterns wheat will ripen.
The old self-binder will come out
And sing a few sweet stanzas,
And the college graduate will shout
And hit the trail for Kansas.
Come out with us at harvest time,
when the sickle sings at moving,
when the rose is blooming in the

the water boy is fast asleep down
where the grass is green and deep

"Be careful what you eat"
John D. Rockefeller is reported

Be careful what you eat,
how and when; give the sub

ions, and you can double your
working capacity, improve your
health and live long and use
full life.

This paper has two readers whom
we prize far above the price of old
gold. And they furnish US the prop
er quota of that from year to year.
These are Mr.. and Mrs. Jodie Perry
of Jonathan. There are no two read
ers we can claim that sound our
praises higher or more sincerely. JO-
die says that the HERALD is the
first paper in all the world with him,
and there are other journals of worth
travelling to his ireside. Mrs. Perry
is an especial jewel of a woman to
those VINO are putting life and brain
into their journalistic products. She
scans the editorials first and pro-
nounces them tho best part of the
paper, and knows how TO occasional
ly send her expression of apprecia
ton into the office to comfort and
cheers hardworking editorial gent
us, who is about to conclude that
his illusions on that part of-the pa
per meet with scant attention and
small appreciation. Some of it, if
not the hardest work that we put in
on the HERALD, is expended in the
editorializing. We have dwelt on
this before Sometime we are three
or four days, or even so many weeks
maturing a seed thought into an edi
torial parag' aph Of about stick, and
then when turned loose, we often
doubt it's propriety and fear its mis-
understood or unweIcomed by our
reading circle. Such people as Mrs,
Perry inspire US exceedingly.
