Sending Out Inspectors.

The government is now send
ing out inspectors to examine
the subscription books of the
country newspapers with a view
of getting all subscription lists
on a "paid in advance" basis.
The order was originally made
to:shut out the papers issued by
the mail order houses, which had
no regular list, but it seems it is
to be enforced rigidly among the
weekly papers of the country.
The government, realizing that
such ruling would work a hard
ship among the country pub
fishers, has been very lenient so
far in order to give them chance
to adapt themselves to the rule,
but as three years have gone by
since the order was made, the
department evidently thinks
enough time has been given, and
will strictly enforce the rule
from now on.
This would indicate that the
country editor will be forced to
collect back subscription or
strike all in arrears from the
list. We have no desire to crowd
any subscriber, but it would be
a great accommodation if those
knowing themselves to be behind
on subscription would dust the
matter at once, thus putting our
books in shape for the depart
ment inspector who is sure to
call on us soon. Examine your

An Editors Experience.

The editor of the Hardeman,
Tennessee, Free Press tells of an
interesting experience; We fell
asleep in chair at Grand juno
ton last Wednesday night on our
way home from Memphis in our
usual soaked condition and let
our train leave us. The clerk
told us to go up stairs and take
the room at the right side of the
hall with the lamp burning low.
He was crowded and that we
would have to double up with a
man. We went up and pulled off
our things and went to bed with
out waking our bed fellow, who
was sleeping sound with the
sheet over his head to keep off
the muskeeters Before we tell
into the hands of morphine we
saw a young lady and a young
gentleman come in and sit down
by the window. At the first they
talked so low we could not hear
what they said. Finally we
heard the little miss say Willie,
amt you ashamed to try to kiss
me right here where we are sitt-
ing up with dead person. We
felt curious. We slowly reached
over and touched the man who
we was in bed with on the nose
and seen at a glance that he was
dead all right. We riz up in
stantly and it was race to the
finish twixt us three for the bot
tom of the steps. 1t is needless
to say that we was the fust to
pass that post by two lengths.
We didn't skeer that couple any
wusser than that corpse skeered
us. We walked through the
country to Bolivar and wired
for our clothes by express"

preliminary last Saturday. Will
liams pleaded guilty, but Pore
decided to stand trial and was
bound over to the District Court.
While in Jail the boys wrote on
the wall the following verses.
We're just couple of "boes"
We thought we needed some clothes
We figured the deal quick
And picked OIL Mr.. Flick.
We got wagon from Mr.. Shaw,
Then we tried to dodge the law.
We travelled both night and day
And tried our best to get away.
A farmer along the road
One day missed his change and hat,
We liked to had spat
He reached us good and strong
And thought us in the wrong
He phoned to Mr.. Flick
Who got their mighty quick
We got to Scott City by jove,
And tried to change our clothes.
But, alas, we weren't quick enough
tell you dts awful tough
But if we need any more clothes
Wen try to buy them right
And not borrow them at night.

A professor in the Agricultural
is quoted as saying Let the

that healthy baby should squall
an hour each day. Well this

the average man or woman who

uncalled for. There may have

case in four week institutes it seems
there is such vast mountain of

: whole journey in ore day, normalitss
but just plod on each day doing the
work as outlined by the course and
the instructor and we shall all come
through gloriously.

since the report last week making
the total now 81. The new names
are l.. NJ. McCrellis, Violet Mar

Anna Johnston, Edith Miles, Ida

a promising and welcome addition
to our number in quality as we'll as

The normal this year is even more
than usually of feminine nature,
there being only an even half dozen
of the "master" variety out of 81.
If there are any other men teachers
in this county, we beseech you to
come to our rescue.
Misses Edith Miles and Eta Eddy
have come all the way from Wiscon-
sin to attend Normal at Meade and
they expect to teach in this county.
A welcome hand is extended to
them by Meade County teachers.

McCabe Bros will not install a feed
mill in their elevator at the present
time. AS most modern elevators
are equipped with feed grinding
machinery and as there is not the
slightest doubt that it would pay
well, this seems a rather peculiar
lapse on The part of the company.
Last year thousands Of dollars went
out of this community for feed.
This year we will have plenty of
coarse grains to grind into stock
feed. 1t ought not to be necessary
to send out of the community for
feed this year. 1t certainly would
pay some of our merchants or the
proprietors of the feed stables to in
stall a feed grinding outfit here and
take care of the needs of their own
stock and the stock of the farmers
in the community.
