The frogs lave begun to sing. What
more welcome sound to the heart and
soul than the tuneful melody of the little
nocturnal, aquatic webfoot troubadour?
The meadow lark for the fields and the
robin for the back yard, but for ener-
getic whole-souled crescendo, for care
dispelling, debt-for getting enjoyment give
us the frog.
Mr.. John Ainsworth, of Star, was

glad to know that his young son, who
it was supposed had pellagra is about

We know father in a neignboring
town in this county who used to talk to
his boys ike he did to vicious animals,
and who used strap on them at random.
He said he was curbing their dispositions.
In years to come every one of those lads
went to the bad. In age they had had no
more respect for that father than they did
for satan. BY some means father should
gain the love and admiration of his boys.
The more pleasing and pleasant our
government can make farm life the bet
ter it is for the government. Our cities
are over-crowded with worthless loafers
that might be honorable and respectable
farmers The rural route is one of the
things that has been provided to make
farm life more desirable and attractive
and as we all have to live off the far
mers nothing should be left undone that
could be done to make the farm inviting.
Some of our boys seem to have the
gymnasium craze. That is right and
proper, but after all the cheapest and best
gymnasium in the world-one that will
exercise every bone and muscle in the body
is fiat piece of steel, notched in one
side, fitted tightly into wooden frame,
and, after being creased On both sides
with bacon rind, rubbed into stick of
wood lengthwise on a sawbuck.

you do yours.
One of the most enjoyable dances of

Let everyone keep hustling to improve
the appearance of their streets and lots.
Keep all kinds of rubbish off the streets
and sidewalks, and see that your houses,
fences, etc. are neatly painted. There
is nothing that helps the looks of town
and induces newcomers to settle in it
more than neatly-painted houses and
fences, neat and tidy streets and side
walks, and fruit ard shade trees on
your lots. Let us see what you will do
for the benefit of our progressive little
city.
Superstition and distrust, with which
all societies known as secret orders were
at one time viewed by a large number of
people, was, happily long ago dispelled,
and today the lodge stands as one of
the champions of the home and family.
Wherever society has reached a high
state of development, secret ard fraternal
orders have their greatest stronghold. The
Masonic fraternity is growing rapidly in
Brandon, our very best young menidenti-
flying themselves with the lodge and
taking great interest in the work.
