TO ENJOY HOME NEWSPAPER.

There are people who receive regu-
larly one of the local newspapers and
after glancing over for a few minutes
throw it aside with disgust, remarking
there is nothing in it, and that it isn't
worth the powder TO blow it to, etc.
Now, sometimes that man has good
reasons for such actions, says the
Tomah Herald, but nine times out of
ten he doesn't know how to enjoy the
good things set before him. For such
people we prescribe careful study of
the following rules of "How to Enjoy
a Local Newspaper"
l. Pay for your paper in advance.
People who have done so say it adds so
per cent to its interest.
2. Read for information, not for
flaws or misspelled words. A critic can
always find what he is looking for even
in the Bible.
8. Don't compare it with the Chicago
and Milwaukee papers. You might as
well compare your stores, machine
shops, theatres, ETC., with those of a
big city.
4. Remember that your paper is as
good as it's support will allow. So are
it's preachers.
S. What would your city be without
the local paper? Who would publish
your life, birth, marriage and death
notices? VINO would boom the celebra-
tions, school, road, and street improve
ments? Not the city daily.
6. Remember that the newspaper
man makes his living by printing all
the news he can get, and if you are
mentioned in an unfavorable light it
may not be his fault You wouldn't
hesitate to make your own business
popular.
z. A news gatherer is not a mind
reader. He can't see or hear every
thing. He must be inquisitive.
s. There are two sides to every ques-
tion. Yours may be the wrong one.
9. Remember you are one out of q
thousand to please. The editor can't
always believe as you do.
10. Pay your subscription promptly.
Type, paper and ink cost money, be-
sides there is the devil to pay.
There are hundred other things to
remember, but the above is sufficient
for the present.
From the point of view of society, a
wall flower is merely bud which has
gone to seed.
Beauty is only skin deep. A spring
chicken isn't as pretty as a bird of
paradise, but it's whole lot better to
eat.

CHICACO'S COLD WEATHER.

The cold wave and the consequent
suffering intensified in Chicago yester-
day (Tuesday) in corresponding ratio
until both had broken the record for
the present winter, the temperature
falling to the low limit of 4 degrees
above zero at 7 o'clock in, the morning
and the poor victims thereof fairly
swamping all the agencies for relief
The mark reached was below that
recorded Dec. II, the previous coolest
day of the present season. Chicago
Record Herald.
a degrees above zero! Imagine!
We're we to get such balmy weather as
that all the baseball enthusiasts in
town would be digging around in the
attic looking for last years ball and
glove; the kids would be ransacking
their secret hiding places for ''mibs" "
and the general trend of events would
indicate an early spring. But as it is
we are content to tarry until the tenn
perature decides to climb little before
taking upon ourselves these eXertions.
Monday morning, the coldest of the
season, saw the mercury at SO degrees
below zero and the past three morn
ings it has been lowering between Il
and 20 degrees below. We really ought
to extend our heartfelt sympathy tc
those poor, cold-blooded Chicagoans.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS OPENED

The first postal savings bank in Wis
consin was opened to the public at
Manitowoc Tuesday. One bank was
opened in each state and territory of
the Union as an experiment to try out
the system adopted. The results will
be followed closely by the department
with view to making any changes in
the regulations and forms as may be
necessary before the system is introdu-
ced generally throughout the country.
All the postal. banks established Jan.
3rd are in postoffices of the second
class.
