LIMIT OF BENEFACTIONS
TO THE SCHOOL REACHED

New York. Dec. 30.--It was explained to
night by officers of the Rockefeller Cen
eral Education Board that Mr. Rookie
feiler's gift Of 100000 TO the University
Of Chicago completed the amount that
he said in the beginning he would give
10 the university. Mr. Rockefeller has
already given 100000 to Chicago. and
he gave S55.000.UO0 as the limit Of his
benefactions.
"Mr. Rockefeller has stated this as the
limit OF his benefacdons." said one OF
the officers. because ne does not want
the University OF Chicago to be consid-
cred a one man institution. This is in the
light of an announcement to the people
of Chicago that the university is their
responsibility hereafter, except in so far
as the present gift viii provide for its
needs"
He explained further that the gift, an
nounced by President Harry p. Judson.
Of the University Of Chicago. at a convo-
cation of the university to-day. would be
in ten annual installments Of 81. COO 600
each, the first of which will be paid Jan
uary I next. The money win be paid out
of the fund OF $50. 900 with which Mr.
Rockefeller endowed the education board.
Mr.. Rockefeller reserved $4,000. 900 OF that
sum for his own designation. the remain
der to be distributed by the board. The
present gift TO the University of Chicago
viii be taken from the so 900. 600 fund
which Mr. Rockefeller reserved for his
| personal designation.
The reason for which the announce
ment of the whole series of gifts was
made to-day" said one of the officers Of
/ the board, was that Mr.. Rockefeller
wanted the university to know what to
depend upon. He thought that it would
be better for the university to state the
number of years through which the gifts

the announcement of a million-dollar gift

A good local paper is one of the
best assets small town or farming

education and entertainment it does
good to every one in it's territory. To
be a good paper it must be, as we

help make it so; first, by giving it
financial and moral support. and
second, by insisting that it have high

This community was visited last
Thursday afternoon by the heaviest
rain that has ever been known to
fall in this community and crops
were greatly damaged.
Mr. Editor, we notice that our
county campaign will open in Kings
tree in August-just a little over
80 days hence. There will be a few
more out for the House of Repre-
sentatives before the time is out. We
want to hear their views on the is
sues O. this campaign. Let US hear
their views on the tax laws. We do
not want another game and fish del
egation. The poor old fish has more
protection by law than our people
and especially taxpayers. The lsh
and all game have been provided for,
now, let's see if We can't get men IN
the Legislature who will enact laws
to have every man to bear his equal
share of taxation; also enact laws
for the betterment of educational
conditions and the improvement of
our roads, and to have our girls
taught domestic science in the
schools and the boys given thor
ough course in farming instruc-
ton. Let us have these two courses
taugh. in all of the high schools and
have al schools made high schools.
Mr. Editor, if we ever expect to have
a county of any note we must have
more education-practical education
for our girls as we'll as the Toys.
Better roads, equalization of taxa
tion, more money for education and
-toads--these, | think, should be the
issues of the campaign. The Dream,
pike and trout and whiskeysoestions
are now things of the past.

RECIPROCAL OBLIGATIONS.
How Your Local Paper Helps You
and How You Can Help II.

take at least one of his local or county
papers. If he does not, he can scarce
ly expect to keep up with the hap
penings of his own neighborhood
and the doings of his own acquaint-
ances, and while we would not have
any reader of ours limit his interest
to the things that are going on i'm
mediately around him, he is certainly
not a we'll informed man if he is ig-
norant of these things.
This, then, is one reason why you
should subscribe for, and pay for, and
possibly write for and advertise in
your local paper. Another reason is
that a good paper in any town or
county is positive force in the up
building of that town or county. a
good paper is one of the surest indt
cations of, and the best advertise
ments for, a progressive community;
and it is impossible for any editor to
make good paper if he does not
have the support of the people for
whom the paper is made.
The local paper may also be a
source of direct financial benefit to
you. To say nothing of what its ad-
vertising columns may be wol tn to
you, either as buyer or seller, cases
are always arising when it is a posi-
tive saving of time or money to
know just what is being done by
ones neighbors, or ones county Of
ficials, or the business men with
whom one has to deal. Next to a
telephone, a really live local newspa-
per will do more than anything else
in keeping you in touch with your
local market.
For these reasons, and many 9TH
ers that might be given. the local
editor has a right to expect your pa
tronage and your cooperation. In
return There are some things that
you have right to expect of him.
In the first place, you have right
to demand that he keep his paper
clean that he make it fit reading
matter for your family. If more
space is devoted to scandals and
murders and sensational fake stories
than to the really important happen
ings of the day, you not only have a
right, but it is your duty,t to protest.
These things are not news, though
many editors seem to think they are,
and others publish them because
they think that people want to read
about them.
You should give the more hearty
support to your county paper if it's
advertising columns are clean-if it
refuses to carry whisky, patent
medicine and fraudulent investment
advertising. No farmer should sub
scribe for any paper of general cir
culation that carries such advertis-
ing. and he has right to insist that
his county paper shall not only re-
fuse the more vicious of such ad-
vertising but completely purge it.
self of all such as rapidly as its suI-
port will admit.
Then you have a right to demand
that your editor tell the news as it
is. He has a perfect right to present
his views with all the force he has
in his editorial columns, but when
he presents anything as news he
must have it just as accurate-just
as free from personal or partisan
views-as possible. The editor who
permits his personal or political feel
ings to color his news columns is
guilty of an actual immortality.
A third right you have is to de-
mand that your local paper give the
most o. its attention to local hap
