SOME REASONS WHY.

"Why should l support my own
town." is a question every one should
put to himself and honestly consider.
The result would be beneficial both to
the individual and the town. Here
are a few of the many reasons he
would be sure to find.
The town is his home and a mans
first duty is to his communal home as
well as his domestic home. Again,
local patriotism demands it. Love for
and pride in ones town is the duty
as it should ever be the joy of every
citizen, and that patriotism should
find constant expression in furthering
its interests. His town affords him
the protection Of it's government
A man should trade in his town.
It's business men are courteous, will
ing and progressive, their stock of
goods is large and varied, and if there
/ something one wants which they do
not carry they are always ready to Sc
cure it. Unlike catalogue houses, the
home merchants help to pay the taxes
of a town, they contribute to churches,
improvements and entertainments.
Without the business men the town
would stagnate and property decrease
in value.
The schools of a town provide ample
and satisfactory education for ones
children, and its churches meet and
satisfy his religious needs and cor
serve the moral and spiritual interests
of the community.
It's newspapers keep him informed
on local matters, enlarge his knowl-
edge. help him in business, minister
to his enjoyment and that Of his fami.
ly. and promote every wise effort put
forth to help the best interests Of the
town.

TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE.

The Brookings ball team was de-
feated at the tournament at Aurora
Friday afternoon by the team of that
town, the score being 5 to 2. The
game was a good n and had Fox,
the Brookings pitcher, been accorded
good support he might have won. Sun
day the Brookings team went to Elk
ton and was defeated by that town
by a score Of 10 to Z. Poor work in
the field was largely responsible for
the loss of this game. too, and it looks
as the local boys should get out in
the woods somewhere and indulge in
a little practice.

thing that has been published recent
ly.
1t is doubtful if any question in
re en- years has so thoroughly aroused
the individual feelings of Senators as
the Lorimer Investigation, and many
of them expressed a desire to attend
the sessions SO as TO observe the de-
meanor of the witnesses, and thus
gam an impression of their ~veracity.
Had the matter been considered by the
whole Senate, a large amount of the
debate that is in storage would have
been eliminated. There appears to be
little question but what the matter is
being thoroughly gone into, and it
is not partisan TO say that the cen
eral impression is that the case is
not being made as strong against the
Illinois Senator as in the original hear
ing.
Although electric fans have been in
use throughout the country for many
years, it took the great hot wave of
this week and the Vice President Of
the United States, to introduce these
cooling devises into the Senate cham
Der. One morning the dignity of the
great body was almost shocked by
the appearance of an electric fan up
IN the Vice Presidents desk: but no
sooner had the solons recovered, than
they caused four great revolving fans
to be hung from the ceiling. thus
greatly modifying the torrid tempera-
ture. Snuff boxes are still maintained
in the Senate cloak room, and quilts
are still to be found in use. In the
preservation of the old-time customs
of the Senate, an electric fan is a
shocking innovation and some people
are wondering whether this departure
in the Senate chamber is another
evidence of insurgency.
Mr.. ~Roddenbery, a Georgia Demo

to collect or receipt for the
special tax for carrying on the bust

where State or local laws forbid the
sale of such intoxicating or spirituous
liquors. He also has another bill pro-
hibiting the use Of the United States

designated above.

an agreement and the wages will con-
tinue the same.
A. year ago an arbitration board
gave firemen ON engines with twenty
four inch cylinder or over, and on
compound engines weighing over215,-
900 pounds, 1915 per day.
The general managers claimed this
was a mistake, as many of the en-
gines were equipped with superheat-
ers that reduced the amount of coal
burned to the same level as the small
er engines. The firemen vented an
increase of 20 per cent in wages in
lieu of the award of the arbters.
