The Advice of a Live Editor.

Say, young man, l want to talk
with you a minute. Get up and dust
don't wait for something to turn up;
go at it and turn it up. Put the
harness right on and pull, no matter
if the bellyband chafes little or the
names don't fit; pull, you'll soon get
hardened to it; a collar spot here
and there don't hurt any. Don't try
to begin where the old man left off
If you do, you will quit where he be-
gan. Get into the deal yourself; do
as the old man did. If you can't
afford a thing, don't buy it until
you can. The old gentleman did
that way and that is how he got a
credit. That credit, young fellow
is worth more dollars than you will
ever earn. No matter about money,
get credit, and maintain it; it is
the best asset anyone ever had. Pull
all the time; don't be stingy, but be
prudent; don't get pessimistic, shut
your suspicious eye. If a neighbor
goes wrong, don't doubt the integrity
of the neighbor on the other corner
Pessimism is a mountain, and dark
ems the witty; it is only it's obstruc-
tion to your vision that makes it
look so. Pull and keep your faith
bright in humanity. The world is
just what we make it. Opportunity
is on all sides, awaiting the man who
pulls steadily all the time, no matter
what his station or line of business
Take this advice from your uncle
the editor.-Bailey, in the Britt
Iowa) Tribune.

gon Normal and the city high school,
He belongs to one of our best fami-

A pretty little wedding took place
at the Presbyterian manse Wednes-
day afternoon, December 4, 1912, al
Bayfield,, Col, the parties most in
terested being Mr.. Armor Gearhart
and Miss Fredia Hight, Rev. c. B.

Mrs. H. H. Gearhart, who resided
four miles west of Bayfield, until re-
Gently. He came from Ashland, Ore.
The bride is a lovely little woman,
who came from Ashland, Ore, where

DANCING In SCHOOLS
Minneapolis School Board is Plunged
Into War Over Action in This
Matter.

Dancing in the public schools at
Minneapolis seems to have plunged
the school board and the clergy into
a bloodless war. One clergyman is
quoted as saying he would rather see
a saloon opened in a school building
than to see it turned into a dance
hall, and extreme expressions are be-
ing used on both sides. The idea of
school children being allowed to
dance in the school building was to
afford them protection under proper
supervision and with proper associ-
ates, assuming that they would dance
under some condition, and to keep
them from the public dance halls
where influences are bad and morals
lax. The movement has the endorse
ment of some of the ministers, who
claim it is a step in the right direc-
tion, and the outcome of the contro-
versy will be watched with interest.

DEMO MOCRATS WILL CAUCUS ON THE
 MAYORS MESSAGE

Mayor Wilson and City Clerk Boucher came together in heated ar gument last night at the meeting of the Miscellaneous committee, and the net result was a meeting which ma terialized nothing more than lot of talk and no definite action. City Clerk Boucher insn't a member of the committee, but by virtue of his office as city clerk, serves as clerk of the committee. s4
 Alderman Guy P. Miller is chairman of the committee. He was the only present, Aldermen E. E. Garlick and Thomas Stewart being absent. AL derInen Robert G. DeForest and John H. Cassidy, Democratic members, were present
 The wrangle between the Mayor and mittee was discussing the recent mes sage of the Mayor. Mayor Wilson arrived at the meeting while the corn- mittee was considering the message. Clerk Boucher took it upon himself to question the Mayor.
 The committee decided to hold an- other meeting prior to the Common Council meeting, Monday night. and at that time call a caucus of the Democratic members of the Board of Aldermen. The action of the Demo craticf Aldermen will guide the com mMtee In its report to the common Council.
 Aldermen Cederholm's resolution asking that the city build bath house at the foot of Newf1eld avenue; was taken up at the meeting. The com nittee will report back that there be- ing no money available for bath house, and likewise, no suitable site, the project should be dropped. Al -derman Cederholm is expected to have something to say when this report IS made, for he has been fgth1ng hard for the bath house.
 A resolution submitted last year by Alderman H. H. Jackson calling for am investigation into the comlmi ssion form of government, was dismissed at the meeting of the committee, af" ter Alderman DeForest had remarked: ''The Board of Aldermen has already been abolished by a certain evening paper in an article spread across its front page the other night"
