YOUR OWN TOWN
1t is Seldom the Result of Virgin Natural
Conditions

Your own town is the subject
of an article which appeared in the
May issue Of a monthly periodical.
The writer says that any place is just
what the people who live III it make it.
Don't sit around and knock your
town. A town IS just as good or just
as pad as the people who are knock
ing it.
A town is seldom the result of vir-
gin natural conditions. In any event
it was man who saw the natural
advantages-and frequently it was
some one individual.
For illustration There is no nat
ural reason why Cleveland should
have been the oil center of the world.
There are no oil wells in or about the
the community. So far as oil is con-
cerned, aud as shipping point, it is
no better than dozen and one other
towns. It was simply John D. Rookie
Teller. He wanted to live in Cleve.
land and his individuality, his per-
sonalitY, brought the oil to him.
There is no reason why Boston
should be the shoe market of the
world. There are no hides there.
T3ey are all shipped from the west.
Simply some man who knew how to
make shoes on large scale wanted to
live there and his success encouraged
others to follow in his wake.
There is no physical reason why
Chicago should be the meat-packing
center Of the world. It could as we'll
have been st. Louis. Simply old
Phil Armour wanted to live there.
In hearty every town you visit
you hear some resident say: CAV,
this amt nothing but an over grown
country villagel"
The resident of any town that
makes such statement wears whis,
kers and boots at heart.
Of course, if your town isn't sporty
enough for you, why, you can move,
that amt the town S fault.
IF you get too sporty, you II have
to move anyhow.
It isn't the sport that make town
Its the jays
The man who gave the light for
sports on the Great White Way was
a jay-Thonas A. Edison. a jay tel
egraph operator from Indianapolis.
John D. Rockefeller, who, in a
way, is the ideal of every sport, was
jay from Richford, New York
Russell Sage, who loaned money to
the sports for years. was a jay-he
started by jumping counters in a
country store.
Some jay from Connecticut went
to the Worlds Fair at Chicago III
1893. He set up a stand on the Mid
way and sold wooden nutmegs to the
sports for souvenirs. Finally he ran
cut Of wooden ones and sold EN- the
real thing for twenty five cents 4
throw
William Dean Eowells, America S
foremost literary character. will take
more pride in telling you Of the days
when he set type as a jay printer on
the Sentinel at Ashtabula, Ohio, than
his literary success of later years-the
days when they use shoe pegs to space
the type and about a printer getting
drunk and using plug Of Star to-
bacco for a cut.

TO KILL THE CUT WORM
Illinois Man Tells How to Get Rid of
Pest.

Pest.
In Grant County as in nearly all
agricultural sections the cut worm
has done its usual amount of damage,
especially to corn. Various methods
have been devised for the destruction
of the pest but to little effect The
following remedy recommended by
DR.. Forbes, the State Entomologist Of
Illinois is said to be as efficient as
any yet discovered mix together
clean bran containing little or no
shorts and Paris green at the rate Of
a pound OF poison to sixteen pounds
Of dry bran shoveling back and forth
until the mixture is complete and
equal. Then moisten this with water
in which a quart Of salt has been dis
solved for each ten gallons of water,
mixing again with shovels. The
mash should not be so soft as to be
sloppy, but should ctumble in the
hands, SO that when sown broadcast it
will scatter in small Jumps, Sixteen
pounds of bran will make enough
mash to treat in this way an acre of
ground. Scatter this poison along u
part at least, Of the border Of the
field il it lies next to the grass land,
or over a broad strip through the
field if the corn is planted upon sod. "

A Big Newspaper Enterprise.

The Milwaukee Journal, Wiscon-
sins largest daily newspaper. on June
1st, reduced its subscription rate to So
per year to readers, by mail, in ad
vance. The Journal believes that the
price of print paper must 60 lower
and is taking a great hazard in nam
ing this reduced price for the coming
year.
The publishers state that, regard
less of consequences, it will stand
by all subscriptions taken at this rate,
during the life of the subscription.
Furthermore. that the paper will not
be allowed to 60 backward but to the
contrary will be improved from time
to time as occasion requires.
The Journal was the pioneer news
paper to give to readers direct a low
subscription price
