NO. CRYSTAL LAKE, LII.

L. III. LEWIS, Dear Sir
Find enclosed $125 for another year
subscription to the News and Citizen, for
| can't be without it as it keeps me in
touch with the old folks at home. |
would not be without it if it cost twice
as much. Every week l see something
about old acquaintance that [ would not
hear of in any other way.
I am still railroading, and with the
cold wSather we are having it is fierce.
Trains are very late and more broken
rails on account of extreme cold than We
ever had before in the same length of
time. We have had the coolest winter
here that we have had since / came to
Illinois about thirteen years ago. One
whole week the mercury was down to
zero and lower--as low as 25 below.
Where is Sewe!l Newton these days, or
is he losing his grip? | miss his style of
writing up No. Hyde Park. 1t makes me
homesick sometimes to pick up the old
paper and see where Death has taken
this one and that one. In az few years it
seems as though there will be but very
few left that knew. Although Vermont
was only my adopted state my folks were
all Green Mountain stock, and although
| an far away | keep a warm spot in my
heart for the old state and hope that [
always shall. AS the time draws near
for March town meeting get as inter-
ested in the election of those officers as
though l was there to help. Our spring
primary is in April when we nominate
county and town officers and some state
officers for election this fall, and believe
me, we have some great times, too.
Farm land is high in this section. 1t is
nothing for farm to bring 800 an acre
and from that to 1925 and $40 per acre.
In little over month L suppose SUI
caring will be on in full blast. | should
like to be out there about that time.
People here, at least the majority of
them, don't know the first thing abou
the manufacture of sugar.
1t looks to me as though Illinois would
go Democratic this fall, as | look Tor
Alschuter to win the Democratic nomi-
nation and if he does he will beat Duneen
and [ think the state may 60 Democratic
for President.
Well, this is getting long enough letter
and can hear the editor calling for a
stop. Will close, wishing you and the
News and Citizen many years of success
and prosperity. | remain
Yours sincerely,
A. S. HOLMES.

BUILDING for Archives

In other countries, notably Great
Britain and France, the national
archives are. most carefully kept. But
we need not go abroad for inspira.
ton as to the proper manner of han.
ding documents. The thousands who
daily frequent the numerous public
libraries throughout the United States
must realize the Importance of hav-
ing accurate and authentic informa-
ton ION tap" All of them must at
some time or other have studied the
history of their country, which OF
necessity is based largely upon ma
tfenal documents. This demand.
therefore, for the construction OF q
national archive building is neither
more nor less than a plea for the
preservation of American history.

MEANING OF LOVE.

Perhaps Of all words in hui
man speech none Is more elastic
than love. Ii means as many
different things as there are
minds II Is the tone word
which when a man speaks 1t .
means no more or less than his
personality. 1t Is the giSt, sub
stance and quintessence of what
he is; more. OF what he longs TO
be, for
"The thing we long for. that we
are
For one transcendent moment"
When you say. therefore, that
you love Il man, Il woman,
child or God we can have not
much idea of what you mean
until we know you. Pious folk
express their most exalted
ideal-the feeling of their union
with God-and even describe the
nature of deity itself by this
word, while vicious and pervert-
ed creatures use. precisely the
same word to express their low
est form of seltishness. - Rev.
Frank Crane.

JAPAN'S FRIENDSHIP.

why Japan could not attack
America successfully. There

mental reasons why she would
not if she could. 1t was Amer

doors when we were close cor
poratiou, stay at home provin-
cial people America led us into
the kindergarten of western civ
ilization and showed us how to
walk. She made us known to
all the world. Her sympathy
has been with us in every great
crisis. In the kindergartens of
Japan today the little children
are taught patriotism, which be-
comes a fierce fire in every
breast. The little ones are
taught the story of how the
United States was the first and
best friend we had in the con-
gress of world powers.-Rev.

DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY.

1t isn't every fellow who can make
hit with the misses.
It's poor consolation for hungry
man to swallow his pride.
1t doesn't require an earthquake to
shake our faith in some people.
Of all human virtues the world rs
apt to regard success as the greatest
Good intentions are the paving
stones on which many man slips
up.
The people who pose as martyrs
seem to get heap of satisfaction OUT
of it.
It's the unexpected that happens,
but we generally bring it on our
selves.
Beauty is only skin deep, especially
in the case of the girl who has no
fortune.
Any lawyer will tell you that some
people hate to take advice, even when
they pay for it.
1t is possible for woman's head
to be turned by flattery, even when
she has stiff neck.
It must make a fellow seem pretty
small to feel as though he had been
drawn through a knot hole.
