The Best Way
THE FIELD.

This world is difficult world, indeed, And people are hard to suit, And the man who plays on the violin Is bore to the man with flute, And I myself have often thought
 How very much better 'twould be If every one of the folks know
 Would only agree with me. But since they will not, then the very best
 way
 To make this world look bright Is never to mind what people say, But do what you think is right.

Song of the Editor.

How dear to my heart is the steady
subscriber,
Who pays in advance without skipping
year,
Who lays down his dollar and offers
it gladly
And casts round the Office halo Of
cheer.
Who never says "stop it, I cannot
afford it,
Or ''getting more papers each day than
I read, 4"
But always says "send it, the whole
outfit likes it
In fact, we regard it business need. :"
How welcome is he when he steps in
the sanctum;
How he makes our heart throD, how
he makes our eye dance;
We outwardIy thank him, we inward
ly bless him,
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.

Two-Bit Gratitude.

A recent editorial in the Lander
(Wyo State Journal is so pertinent
as to be worthy of reproduction.
Under the heading Two-Bit Gratitude"
the Journal editor says:
In this enlightened age, publicity
is the greatest progressive force and
the individual or community that
neglects to employ it loses thereby.
The newspapers want the town to
grow and prosper that they may
prosper along with all other citizens.
While they should in all reason ex
pect to make a small profit on all
work turned out they have never
asked even that when the good of the
town has been sought. The average
weekly newspaper gives gratis for the
good of the public from $40 TO $40 per
week, or from $500 to 81, 900 per year.
What other. business man gives as
much every year for the community
in which he livesf IRE casual reader
does not appreciate the fact that it
costs so much money to set every line
of type in the paper and that the
editor who pays his printers is giving
just so much money to the schools,
the churches, the various lodges,
societies and associations every time
he prints free reading notice for
them. Do You suppose that any other
business house would give the price
of sack of flour or sugar, II, pair of
shoes or a suit of clothes to every
organization in the county every
week OF course not they would
not be asked to do so even if they
were generous enough to do it News
paper men do it because it has been
the custom to do 1T and because they
are public spirited and want to help
along every worthy cause to greater
extent then they are financially able.

Profit in Raising Chickens.

Mrs. John Williams JE.. of Edmund
kept an itemized account of the IN
come of 100 pure bred Barred Ply
mouth Rock hens during the year 1909,
and by request she gives her consent
to have the same published, says the
Dodgeville Chronicle. The record is
as follows and if anyone hereabouts
can equal it we would like to have
them produce the figures. Number
of hens kept, 100; eggs sold, 800
dozen average price per dozen s211s
cents; total receipts for eggs and
chickens $40 80. No account was
kept of eggs and poultry for home
use. The twelve Golden Wyandotte
pullets owned by T. FL. Arthur of this
city have an egg record eight days,
from Feb 9th to Feb. 18th inclusive,
which it will be hard to beat. The
record in order of days is as follows
10, 5, 8, z, 8, Z, z, s. a total of go

SCHADE TO OPEN A
SANITARIUM HERE
To be Located in Large West
Wing of Capital Hotel.
Remodeling of the Place VIII Begin at
Once and Necessary Apparatus
and Equipment Purchased.

Prof. w. J. Schade has made ar
engagements whereby within the next
few weeks he will be able to open an
up-to-date sanitarium in this city, for
the treatment of muscular and nervous
ailments. This plans of Prof. Schade
we're written of in the Herald some
months ago. Since that time he has
never ceased forwarding them.
On Monday of this week he rented
the large west wing in the Capitol
hotel. This he will divide according
to a unique arrangement into ten
small rooms. Seven or eight of these
will be devoted to a certain stages of
the treatment. In the front will be
reception apartment and also a read
ing room.
The sanitarium will be fitted out
with the best apparatus obtainable.
Prof. Schade expects to go to Chicago
Friday and purchase equipment. The
treatment by Prof. Shade is entirely
different from that given in other
sanitariums and during his residence
here he has already succeeded in cur
ing a number of apparent hopeless
cases.
The sanitqrium will be the means
of bringing many people here and ad-
vertising the city. While at first it
will be conducted on comparatively
small scale, additional room will be
secured as needed.
Prot. Schade's city hall gymnasium
will not be discontinued but will be
run as il has been in the past, with
no changes in the programs of the
different classes.
Thos. Finnegan has rented the rest
of the Capitol hotel and will run an
up-to- date hosteiry. The owner of
the building, Harry DeJean, of James
Vile, was here this week attending to
business connected with the property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Pigg, the present
managers, will probably move from
Lancaster. The latter is in Iowa at
present looking up new location.

Legal Mix-up at BOscObel.

City Attorney John j. Blaine. of
Boscobel, last week filed an opinion
with the city clerk, by request of certain
officials and others interested" in
which he stated that in-as-much as
W. T. Hurd of that city was stock
holder in the Boscobel Telephone
Company he was not eligible to the
office of mayor to which he was elected
a year ago.
In conclusion Atty. Blaine stated !:
''There is no way by which ne can
become eligible to serve out the full
two years. A successor to him must
be elected at our spring election.
The city clerk should therefore IN
his notice of election and other
formalities required of him relating
to the election, include the Office of
mayor as one to be filled. He should
also ascertain if any other city officer
whose term does not expire in April
is ineligible for the same reason, and
if there are any other such officers who
are stockholders in the Boscobel Tele-
phone company or stakeholder in a
corporation or partnership owning
a share of the telephone company,
their Office should also be filled at the
same election, if elective officers.
am not advised at this time that
there are any such but there may be. "
In reply to this opinion Mayor
Hurd issued statement that he held
no stock in the Boscobel Telephone
Company having transferred it the
day after he was elected to the Office.
The charge of Atty Blaine occasiOned
much comment in Boscobel but after
the mayors denial the matter will no
doubt be dropped.

About 46O attended the convention
Of the Southern Wisconsin teachers

NJ. Russell, g. E. Slothower, Randall
johnson, P. Reynolds. Frank Sangster,
Miss Nellie Conklin. Miss Jessica
McGregor, E. G. Clark and Miss

tent. = Other addresses were given

tion was the address DR.. ]. Percival

Life" DR.. Huget possesses rare
distinction in the lecture world and is
an extremely interesting speaker.

good. Q. E. Elliott. John d. Shoop,

pedagogic world were slated for ad-
dresses, all of which were very in :
structive.
Prin. G. W. Slothower, formerly Of
Lancaster. was elected president of the
association for the coming year. This
is a very high honor, considering that
the territory of the association en-
braces the entire southern half of the
state, and one of which Prof. Slo-
thuwer is surely deserving. His
efforts to make the convention sue
cess were appreciated by all in attend
ance. Prin. Thompson, of the Rich
land County Training School, was the
defeated candidate for the position.

ly profitable for those in attendance.

Did You See the Star, Sunday.

Last Sunday considerable portion
of Lancaster's population was star
gazing, along about noon, at the un-
usual sight of dimly discerned star
in the southern sky. Many failed to
see it, but many others stoutly as
serted that they could see it very
plainly and believed it to be Halley's
Comet It is very doubtful about it's
being the comet as Prof Frost of
Yerkes observatory announces that the
comet has gone into seclusion for
about month and during that time
will be- shielded from mortal eyes,
even with the aid of powerful glasses,
because it is now sufficiently close to
the sun that it is Unsecured by golden
wells of sunlight, and cannot be seen
against the bright back ground. 1t is
said that about April 9Th it may again
be seen in the morning sky and will
be plainly visible to the naked eve in
May.
1t will be within IA, 900, 900 miles
of the earth on May IS, which will be
it's nearest approach. and the sky on
that night will be filled with a fine,
luminous display. In fact. it is ex
pected that the earth Will be enveloped
with the comets tail which is some
thing like fifteen millions of miles
in length, and will sweep over us at
about O'Clock in the evening.

Don't Say ''Refused."

There has been some contention as
to the liability of a person for sub
scription to newspaper. The courts
have held that where a party sub
scribes for a newspaper or other
PERIODICAL and continues to take same
from the postocfice after the time
for which same was paid he becomes
indebted for the same and he can not
legally refuse the same until all in
debtedness be paid or in other words
the same becomes an open account and
continues so until settled. -Richland
