lots--and urged them to clean away
the weeds and rubbish on their prop

The committee on flies devoted itseli

the winged pest carriers-and pleaded
with property owners 10 do away with
the places that breed fiies-make their

things that attract flies.
Another committee furnished waste
paper boxes for street corners-and
still another will make awards OF
prizes for the cleanliest premises in
the city.
The school children of Connersville
have been brought into the cleanup
movement by the organization among

ADVERTISE THE STATE.

Commissioner of Agriculture GIL
breath is endeavoring to get up ma
terial for another year book. He sent
out letters to each OF the forty-nine
counties requesting material that could
be used in the publication. So far
only eight have responded.
The failure Of every county to jump
Mt the chance to furnish an article for
this issue seems almost beyond com
prehension- The further fact that the
letters were sent out in March, and
two months have elapsed without sat-
isfactory response ia all the more re-
marlable
The 10000 copies of the last year
book were quickly exhausted. indicat-
ing the popularity or the Issue. There
IS every reason TO believe a new book
would be In even greater demand.
Last winter those advocating a
change Of the methods Of immigration
work in North Dakota protested be-
cause all counties had not been ex-
plotted in regular issues OF The North
Dakota Magazine. The injustice of
their protests was easily pointed out
az It Is naanifestly impossible TO write
up all the counties of the state in the
magazine at one time. Some must be
left for future issues.
But each county has an opportunity

yearbook Now is the time for those
who kicked on the work in the maya

NOR A BAD An

The Nashville American has the fol-
lowing about North Dakota that indi-
Gates prohibition is an asset-some-
times:
Uncle Sans census reports show
that In ten years the total value OF
farm land in North Dakota has in
creased 321 per cent.
For the same period the total vaIue
Of farm buildings has increased s14
per cent, and the value OF farm ma :
chinery has grown 212 per cent.
And, strange as IL may seem, all
this was done without the aid Of a
saloon. the great institution which Ia
touted SO widely as the only instru-
ment which begets prosperity and
builds up business.

You women with the down curved
mouths and the puckered brows IL

ever gained by looking or by feeling

there is always some one worse off than

That sounds selfish. but it is common
sense.
And perhaps it's not SO selfish, either
Tor it's the way of this worid--that's
what makes it SO on and conttnuaIly
renew itself-the fact that 1t refuses
to dwell on the past or even the pres
emit when that present is full of sorrow,
depression and dullness and Is for that
reason a spoke in the wheel OF prog
ress.
OF course there are great sorrows
which cannot be avoided which come
to all of us during the course of life.
but wise is the woman who does not
dwell on these any longer than she IL
obliged to. Our religion should be one
OF hope; our whole rule of life should
tend toward cheerfulness. ambition and
belief In what the future has for us
and 1t holds much more for US than the
past, you may be sure of that--if we
have faith in it and rouse ourselves
from the sitting depression of grief,
either Justihable or otherwise. Indeed, AZ
you would know the truth the saddest

ing to be sad about, but just the bad
habit OF all the time looking for mourn
