WORTH LOOKING INTO-our New Way of Selling Diamonds I have

OOAA~AAGS devised new way of selling my friends and customers diamonds know great many people who want diamond, but who cannot afford to buy a large one; and therefore won't buy, any. These people often are un- able. to save enough money to buy a large one. My way is a new one. My way is a good one for you. You buy a diamond for $15, wear it is long as you wish; and when you have saved $15 bring the diamond to me with the s15 and I will give you a $30 0Niamond You can keep this up indefinitely. In other words. you can be wearing a diamond all the time and still be pay ing for a big one. It is an easy way for you, because you will not miss the money, and at the same time you will not be deprived of wearing the dia- mond that you so long have wanted to wear. In case you do not understand this proposition come to me and I will take pleasure in explaining it.

DR.. HILBURN LEAVES

The resignation of DR.. J. P. Hill
burn as president of Southern Col
lege at Sutherland is the occasion of
sincere regret to the many friends of
this able educator and of the institu-
ton for which his administration has
done so much. DR.. Hilburn really re-
signed last December, but consented
to remain in the position until the
end of the term. He will be succeed
ed by Prof. w. D. Clifton of Missis-
sippi, who is very highly spoken of,
and the Tribune hopes Southern will
continue to prosper and grow under
the new administration. In whatever
field DR.. Hilburn may elect to cast
his lot, he will have the best wishes
of hosts of Floridians who have come
to appreciate his many admirable
traits and his: unquestioned ability
both as a preacher and an educator

THE EDITORS SONG

How dear to my heart is the steady
subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth
of each year.
Who laws down his money, and offers
it gladly,
And casts round the office halo
of cheer!
Who never says, stop it; l cannot
afford it,"
Oh, I'm getting more papers than
| can readt"
But always says, "Send it; the family
all like it
In fact, we think it household
need!"
How welcome he is when he steps in
the sanctum!
How he makes our hearts throb!
How he makes our eyes dance!
We outwardly thank him-we inward
ly bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.
How sorely we're tried by the tardy
SuUSCIlDcI
Who pays (if at alb when months
overdue;
Who grumbles because he gets re
minder,"
And fires back a postal that makes
us feel blue.
The tardy subscriber is a sensitive
brother,
The humbly made statement he
spurns as a dun"
He'll pay when it suits him, he tartly
informs us,
And hints rather broadly about a
shotgun
So we're singing the praises of the
steady subscriber
Who gives the poor editor a sort of
a chance
The smiling subscriber, the honest
subscriber,
The steady subscriber who pays
in advnace.

BLUE AND DARK GREEN SHOULD
BE COLORS IN SCHOOLROOMS

Blue, dark blue and dark green are
the colors in which all schoolrooms
should be painted or tinted. This is
the expert opinion of Marie j. Hesse
to the congress of Illinois mothers
and the Chicago school board. Reds,
pinks and blended light tints develop
monkey shines" in the children.
There is no question about the
moral effect of colors," declared Miss
Hesse, who is chairman of the school
improvement committee of the con-
gress "The colors that are put on
the walls of the Chicago schools, as
we'll as others in the state, might
please a Fiji Islander, but they have
no place in the educational plans of
civilization. Horrible mixtures of
pink, green and red, with variations,
are seen, and they demoralize the
children and prevent successful dis,
cipline.
Dark blue and dark green tend to
soothe them. The other colors l have
named excite and irritate them"
Miss Hesse is against STACEY pic
lures in schoolrooms. The picture
of Washington Crossing the Della
ware has a STACEY effect" she said
He was never in any such position
as that, but was undoubtedly helping
the other men fight the ice on the
river. Don't put STACEY pictures on
schoolroom walls"

Celebrated His S5th Birthday.

Last Sunday was the 85th
birthday of Uncle" Andrew
Daniels, and Mrs. H. Daniels pre-
pared an unusually fine dinner in
honor of the unusual nature of
the event. The Rev. r. E. Key
es and family were the only out
side guests. Time has been ex-
ceedingly kind to the venerable
old gentleman in whose honor the
dinner was given, and he bears
up under his weight of years in a
manner that would do credit to a
man many years his junior. We
congratulate Mr.. Daniels upon
his ability to round out so many
of life's milestones, May he con-
tinue to live to see the frosts of
many winters and enjoy the flow
ers and sunshine of many
summers ere the sun sets upon
this life so materially blessed. =

Fire at Saluyia.

The dwelling house owned by
Rinehart and Henry, better
known as the Ed Austin House,
was totally destroyed by fire, to-
gether with nearly all the con-
tents, between the hours of $3.50
and 10 o'clock, last Thursday
evening.
1t is said that when the family
went to bed, they left a fire in
the cook stove, and a coaloil
lamp burning for James and Ka-
tie Deshong who had gone out
for the evening, and were ex-
pected to return later.
Later in the night the occu-
pants were awakened by smoke
and the roar of fire, an alarm was
given, the neighbors came, but
the fire had gained such headway
that little could be done to save
the contents.
The snow on the barn and
strawstack saved them from m
burning. 1t was known that
several guns and a quantity of
ammunition were in the house,
and men were afraid to take too
much risk in going in to save the
furniture.
Our reporter did not know
whether there was nyinsurance
or not. Mr.. Rinehart claims to
have lost seventy-five dollars in
cash; James Deshong, eight dol
lars; and Katie, all her clothing
except what she was wearing
that evening.

DEAR EDIroR:-I see by the
label on the wrapper of the News
that if | do not pay up I'll be a
way behind, and, of course, we
cannot afford to have it stop and
you cannot buy any meat with
our dollar if we do not send it to
you, and you cannot buy much
with it if we do-if meat is as
high in price there as it is here.
For instance: The other day one
of our neighbors went to the
meat market and asked for a
dimes worth Of steak. The
butcher brandished his big knife
as though he would cut him a
slice, and then passed the knife
across the counter to the custo-
mer and told him to smell it, for
that was all he was able to give
him for a dime. How is that for
high?
wish to take this opportunity
through the columns of the News
to inform our many friends who
read it, that we are in the midst
of gracious revival in connection
with the United Brethren Church
of this place. Rev. Swender
their pastor, and myself are do
ing the preaching; and the sing
ing is under the direction of
Prof. cambridge. of Mystic,
Iowa. The town is becoming
thoroughly aroused and souls are
returning unto God.
Mrs. Decker has been laid up
with a lame back for three
months with little prospect of i'm
mediate recovery, on account of
which, of course, | have been
considerably handicapped in my
work; but | have been able to
get along by the timely assistance
of Miss Jennie Zimmerman, her
sister, of Aurora, ILL.,, who has
been with us now for about two
months.
l really did not mean to write a
letter for publication when | sat
down to the typewriter this morn
ing, but before / scarcely knew
it this had grown to the present
proportions and | was writing as
though | was expected to fill all

say good bye. Wishing you and

Union vs.. NOnuniOn.

Few persons have missed the
entertainment provided by "Un-

Dor organizations at Pumpkin

new farm hand to turn his plow
team at the end of the field, in
sisting that it was the work of
the Horse Turner's Union. OF

ting time to care for his horses
because that was the work of the
the Horse Unhitchers Union. "

that havors even more strongly
of the serio-comic, but even
is far more serious than comic.
If a small gang of miners from
one side are caught across the
line, they are fortunate if they
escape with nothing worse than a
broken head. Even the preach
er in a small church planted
squarely upon this line, is kept
busy lodging the blows which
pass across tn e narrow zone
which he strives to maintain as
neutral territory. If he moves
to one side of his pulpit in the
delivery of his discourse, he is
accused of toadying to the views
of one class of belligents: if to
the other side, his sympathies are
rendered the opposition. So deep
has become this channel, so sur
ging this stream of hatred, that
this same reptile that invests the
pew, is pushing his Shiny head,
into the deliberations of the trus-
tees, and has revealed its pres
ence in the meetings of the ell
ders.

see in this restless, unsettled re-
lationship between employer and
employe, an evil that needs ad-
justment. Very soon we shall
see a revolutionizing of the for
ces that disturb society. These
things stand out, prominently be-
fore the eyes of the man who is
peering into the mists of to-mor-

sible therefore, will be attacked,
and finally moulded into chords
of perfect harmony. God speed
