tits hoped that there will be more
dances given in the handsome new
school building during the winter.
Russell Narbit gave a dance in the
Root farm residence Tuesday night,
when was largely attended by local
people. The 1.-TWO Man" band fur
nished the music.
H.. }. Giltinan, the booster Of He'd
gesviIle. attended the division meet
ing Saturday, and went on record as
favorlng the proposition in an able
speech Oh the floor OF the conven-
ton.
John {. Erickson accompanied
Rancher Shoemaker Of TwOdot, on
his way home last Thursday with his
auto Which has been in this city for
some time. MIR. Erickson reports
that they shoveled ut least three
miles OF the distance through SNOW
drifts.
+. q. Apple tried to board mov-
ing freight train at Oxford Wednes-
day night, and had his chm badly

Men sometimes breach the subject
of saving TO their wives. 1t is record
! ed that once upon Il time, one said,
"My dear. we'll have to be more eco
nOmical" And she replied. Eyes
| let's smoke less tobacco:" and that
| ended the conversation, but did not
begin the economy.
An exchange truthfully remarks
that there are too many people in al
most every town who will not east
| their bread upon the waters. unless
assured beforehand that it will come
back again in a few days full grown
sandwich all trimmed with ham, but
ter and mustard, rolled up in Il war
rantv deed for Cne-half the earth and
a mortgage on the other half.
The man or woman who has time
enough to keep up with every little
whimsical piece of gossip about their
neighbors, about their town. about
anything, anybody ard everybody
such man or such woman should
enjoy our Christian sympathy. They
are usually no good and perfectly
harmless, yet their deplorable condi-
ton Of mind should elicitt our kindly
feeling.
Some mathematician has figured
ont that two cents IL bushel on all
oats. two cents bushel on all wheat
! and two cents per ton OH all hay rails
ed in this portion of our state would
build ten miles of permanent roads in
one year, or 100 miles in ten years,
thus in little while giving the far
mers net work Of highways pass
able at all seasons of the year, and at
an outlay that would hardly be MOTTO
ed at all.
| \ farmer should remember that his
wife is ii business partner. She make s
the butter, boards the hands, help
prepare things for market, is Il watch
dog for the premises when he isaway,
and sometimes assists with the poul-
try and garden: and when he secretly
signs away money she has helped to
earn. he is cheating his partner. MS
we'll as robbing his wife; and it is an
offence the law would not tolerate in
any other cO-partnership, nor should
it in this. There is a law that pre-
vents man from selling his farm
without his wife's signature, and it
sounds as if Il wife was of some i'm
portance; but it is rendered non-effec-
tive rs Il preventative of her home
from the fact that he can endorse
other mems papers to any extent
without her knowledge or consent
and thus dispose of the family DOS
sessions. -and the sheriff can sell,
and she has no rights that he is bound
to respect. This statute IS mockery
until it is supplemented by another
making mans signature. us securi-
ty. invalid when written without his
Wife'S approval.
