The Town Paper

Stand by your town newspaper.
If their is anything in your town
worth talking about, ten chances
to one your little town paper had
a hand in putting it there, and if
there exists any unsightly or un-
savory nuisance twenty chances
to one it will stay there until your
town editor sees it or smells it
and wipes his pen on the town
boards breeches. If anybody be-
yond the walls of your little burg
ever learns that there is such a
place as Peaceville, it will be
through the town oracle.
Every village gets its moneys
worth in the village newspaper.
Its the wagon that carries all
your good things to market. 1t
ought to be kept in good repair.
In many cases it would pay to
grease it, paint it, keep its rum
ming gear in shape and shelter
it at the public expense.
Stand by your town paper; it's
the guardian and defender of
every interest, the forerunner
and pioneer of every advance
movement, and the sturdy advo-
cate of law and order. Take it
away and it would not be six
months until the town would act
and look as if it had been doped.
Business would drag, society
would yawn, and grass wonld
grow in the streets.
Long live the town newspaper.

and we wish to raise our voice

absolutely no reason for this vul-

as others see them, they would
quit it, unless void of decency

be some excuse for lying, or even
stealing, but who can excuse the
use of vulgar oaths. In a rail-

heard an employe using the most
profane and vulgar language and
seemingly enjoying it, and those

IA On One Ticket.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Scott Of
HIGHLAND, Kan, Want
More Room.

Muskogee, Okla. Oklahoma Is
about to acquire a remarkable
family. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Scott of Highland, Kan, are
seeking a location for a home
somewhere in the state where
they can obtain plenty of land.
They will need it, for they have
been married not quite ten years
and are the parents of nineteen
children, all of them boys and
thirteen of them living. They
hold the record on triplets, hav-
ing five sets to their credit, and
two sets of twins. All of the
thirteen boys living are under
FIVE years old. Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott are the children of farmers
living near Highland.
Last fall the SCOTS, deciding
that they must find more land,
went to Alberta, Canada. They
we're not satisfied there and re-
turned. On the return trip all
records in the history of railroad
ing were broken. Mrs. Scott
and her thirteen children all rode
on one first class passenger ticket.
At Omaha the conductor made a
vigorous protest.
Madam, you cannot carry a
whole Sunday school along with
you on that one ticket, and you
need not tell me these are all
yours. You will have to pay
fare for some of them"
THE rules of this railroad
company provide that a child
under 5 years of age may ride
free when accompanied by its
parents with a first class ticket
don't they?" retorted Mrs. Scott.
They do, but you will have
to show me-"
Then Mrs. Scott dug down in
to her valise and brought out
the family Bible, in which was
recorded the names and ages OF
each of the children. The con-
ductor had to give in. The
mother and children occupied five
double seats in the homeseekers'
car and paid for only one.
The names of all the children
begin with A. Their names and
ages are: Ashbell, Archer and
Austin, triplets, 4 1-2 years old;
Arthur and Arnold, twins, 3 IL
years old; Allan, Almon and AL
bin, triplets, 2 IL years old; AL
bert, Albion and Adolph, trip
let's, 10 months old; Abel and
Abner, twins, 6 months old.
Mrs. Scott is 30 years old and
her husband is only a year her
senior.
The mother and children are
now in Highland, Kan, while
the father is in Oklahoma seek
ing a suitable location for his
large and promising family. He
probably will buy some cheap In
dian land through the Indian
n raucv AZ MuSknOee.
