North Mankato

From Saturdays Daily.
To the people of North MankatO
this department is especially set
apart. 1t is desired that all will feel
a personal interest in it as upon
that hangs much of the success that
it may have. Since the consolida-
ton of the news of North Mankato
many expressions of appreciation
have been made which are an en-
couragement. The advertising value
to the community is unquestioned,
and it can be made OF still greater
value if the citizens would hand
over news items. The situation here
is little difficult to cover by a re-
porter daily as most of the men are
employed elsewhere. The Free Press
is anxious to serve all alike and in
order to do that most efficiently
those knowing of news items would
confer a favor by telephoning in such
items. Some are overly-modest
about giving news in which they
are a factor. This modesty should
be laid aside. Get the habit of as
sisting in making this department
one of the big things of this paper,
thereby helping the community you
live in. Remember your news is as
good as any and as timely even
though it loses interest to you after
you know about it. Pass it along
to the newsman. 1t all helps. He
needs your assistance.

L wish any who are thinking what to
do would come and visit the class
Tuesday, and see about it for herself.

the fear of real interest in going over

the Bible class won and the question
for myself is settled. I shall have to
stay with the Bible class. Perhaps it
may be thes answer for more of us.
If you do not see the way clearly to go

About

On the surface, George Forbes Pup
pets is a story; but that is not the
principal thing. Through the pleasant,
kindly, humorous talk of the hero the
author presents a philosophy of life
which is so simple that it will appeal
to every one who thinks at all. yet so
comprehensive that it removes many
of the difficulties the average person
has in trying to conceive what life
really is. The action of the novel takes
place for the most part in a country
house, and there is enough doing all
the time to interest the reader If he
prefers to let the philosophy alone.
If, on the other hand, the reader be
something of a philosopher he will, no
doubt, be surprised at the soundness
of the ideas which the author has been
able to set forth under the guise of
fiction.
