WELCOMED

| (By Mrs. Geo. A. Gibbs in the Woman
Edition of the News-Banner)
You wanderers, who forth haze Jared
| Upon your various quests,
By memories of by-gone days
Now lured to be our guests,
How ioyfully we press your hands!
How gaze into your eyes
While hopefully we search their depths
Where recognition lies.
A welcome waits in every home,
All Iatch-strings hang without;
We hope to make you feel with us
That time has faced about.
Again, as in our childhood days,
Well fish in Woodland creek,
Wen rob the orchard, as OF yore;
The cider mill we'll seek.
Well visit all the neighbors round,
Take dinner, stay all night,
Look up the girls we used to court,
The boys we used to fight;
And tired, at night, well dream Of her
Who, in the dear old days,
Lulled all our night-born fears to rest
By knowing mother-ways.
Already country hams are on,
Fat fowls ia durance vile, +"
While pies and cakes, those crispy sweets,
We're baking all old style.
You see you're mighty welcome here
AT home in this old town;
We're glad when you succeed in life
And sorry when you're down.
Now in the many coming years
We hope are yours to live,
To you, your wife, and all your folks,
A welcome we would give.
AS all in ancient times we'll knew
That all roads lead to Rome, 2
We hope for you at autumn time
All roads will lead back home.

very fine historical and editorial mat

paper, embracing topics by the ladies
Of the staff discussed and related in an
attractive way. We are reproducing
the lines by Mrs. Gibbs to home-com-

tribution to the occasion, and one o.
the best efforts from the pen Of local

been read largely and it deserves the

The staunch, true friends of long ago

Should we forget, should we forget
The sweet love story we have heard,
From fairest lips when eyes were wet,
And hope and fear our young hearts
stirred?
Should we forget, should we forget
The lovely form that walked with us,
But which long since with deep regret
We laid low in the silent dust?
Should we forget, should we forget
The old hearth stone Of bygone years,
Round which our family band oft sat,
And where we said our evening pray

Should we forget, should we forget
The soft white hand that stroked our
head
Long, long ago as fond lips met

THOUSANDS OF
POSTMASTERS
MAY LOSE JOBS

According to an executive order is
sued by President Wilson, practically
all Fourth-Class Postmasters will be
compelled to take a Civil Service ex-
animation to determine whether they
may continue to hold their offices.
These examinations will be open to all
other applicants who may want the
postmastership.
Appointments of Fourth Class Post
masters will hereafter be for life.
The man who gets the job this time
will have it as long as he lives.
A Fourth-Class Postmastership
pays as high as $1,000 a year, with
Money Order and Registry Fees ex-
ira, but it is worth several times that
amount to any merchant. The entire
population served by the Post Office
and its Rural Routes comes into his
store to transact business. Thousands
of dollars of additional trade can thus
be secured.
If youhave the Post Office, you can't
afford to lose it. If you don't have
the Post Office, NOW is your chance
to get it. The Office will go to the
man passing the best examination
and he can hold it for the rest of his
life.
For over 10 years the international
Correspondence Schools have been
preparing men and women to sue
cessfully pass Civil Service Examina-
tions. The l. c.. S. Course for Fourth
Class Postmasters will give you just
the information you need to success

various passages leading to the lungs.
You will perhaps be surprised to know
that yawning is even beneficial to
your hearing.
The cracking sound which you SO
often hear when giving an extra big
yawn is due to the stretching and
opening of the Eustachian tubes.
These tubes communicate between the
ear and the back of the throat. If
they are congested, which happens
when you have bad cold in the head,
people complain of deafness.

WHY YOU SHOULD YAWN

Yawning may be rude-especially
in company-but it is good thing
for you to do.
For one thing it ventilates the
lungs. When you take an ordinary
breath the lungs are not completely
filled, nor are they thoroughly emp
tied by an ordinary respiration.
There is a certain quantity of air
left in the lungs always, which ply
siologists call residual air.
This air in time becomes foul and
affects the blood and through the
blood nervous centers. Certain nerves
get tickled, as it were, and the result
is a yawn, stretching the lungs to
their fullest extent, filing them with
clean, fresh air and driving the foul
air out
That's one reason why it is good to
yawn- For another, yaWning opens

CONTINGENCIES FOR SCHOOL
Telephone and Mail Box Will Help
Greatly In Development of
School

The telephone and mail box should
form part of the equipment of every
rural school. They would bring the
parents and the outside world into
closer touch with both teacher and
pupil, and help solve many of the
rural teachers problems. In case of
illness or severe storm the teacher
might know in advance of the alb
sence of the pupil. In case of sudden
need the pupil might be more readily
summoned home from school.
Many progressive schools take daily
newspapers and one or more farm
journals. All should do so and should
receive in addition many valuable
free bulletins issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., and by our own
Department of Agriculture, Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul. A mail box for
each school would bring this material
regularly to the teachers desk in
stead of to her boarding place or to
the home of one of the directors from
which it might not be forwarded. A
mail box would enable those who dis
tribute such material to place the
school on its mailing list to remain
there year after year. At present the
usual plan seems to be to put the
teachers on the mailing list and as
teachers too often change each year,
great confusion results.
These conveniences cost very little.
Bring the matter up at your next
meeting and see that they are put in
to your schools. Few investments
will pay larger dividends in the edu-
cation of your boys and girls.-T. A.
Erickson.

No Chance to Escape
1T APPEALED TO HIM
Milwaukee Man May Die Because of
Mirth Over Veteran Man-and-
Wife Story

eff you were my husband, I'd give
you poison"
"And if you were my wife, I'd take
it,"
Is there anything in this veteran
vaudeville joke that should convulse
its hearer with mirth for more than
three consecutive seconds?
Everybody who has heard it will
probably answer no." but the quip
found a real victim in Julius Jeswein,
"a years old, for Jeswein laughed for
Is consecutive hours after hearing it.
Jeswein attended vaudeville show in
a down town theater in Milwaukee,
Saturday night and when the eff you
were my husband" funnicism came
along he almost had fit.
Jeswein kept on laughing until the
act was forced to discontinue. The
audience became alarmed. Jeswein
was demonstrated with and finally he
was removed to an emergency hospi-
tai. There, although the physicians
did everything in their power to quell
his disabilities, Jeswein still laughed
for hours. And nothing they could do
for him stopped it, until it was finally
determined that the only remedy
would be to put him to sleep. Nor
phine injections were given him. Still
he laughed. More narcotics were adj
ministered. More laughter. He has
become so weakened death may result.

Stole to Let Child
Play in Fifth Ave.
New York Woman Driven Back tC
Crime Because Child Graves
Pretty Things

Probation officers of General Ses-
sions Court are looking into a story
told by Mrs. Lottie Gross of % Lenox
avenue, New York, awaiting the exc
cution Of ten months penitentiary
sentence for larceny. Mrs. Gross
pleaded guilty to stealing Sc from a
woman at Fifth avenue and Forty
second street on February Is.
Her confession was that she had
been thief six years ago, taught by
a professional pickpocket in Philadel-
phia. But she reformed, and when she
married more than four years ago she
told her story to the man who wanted
her. He overlooked it, and they were
happy, particularly after the birth of
a baby.
AS the baby grew into pretty lit
tie girl her mother noticed the differ
ence between the clothes of the child
and those worn by other children who
romped on the Fifth avenue side of
Central Park Mrs. Gross then saw
that her own gowns could not pass
among those worn by the other chill
dren's mothers.
She told how she tired of the hum
drum life of small apartment where
every quarter had to be taken into ac-
count, tired Of always evading baby's
questions when the child said "Why
can't l have a dress like that?"
Then she began to steal, first, she
said, to give the baby good clothes and
then to buy dresses for herself. Mrs.
Gross told Judge Grain that her hus-
band had been generous to her and
gave her as much money as he could
spare.
81 had a good home, loving hus-
band and, best of all, my baby" Mrs.
Gross said, "but for the past year l
have been stealing because longed
for pretty clothes for myself and my
baby. / had promised my husband
when we were married that l would
never steal again. l deceived him."
Mrs. Gross was arrested by Detec-
tive Cassassa, who saw her in a crowd
trying to get on a west bound Forty
second street car She did not board
the car, but walked away, and later
the detective saw her open a woman's
mesh bag and take a roll of bills

RAILROAD R[LINQUISHFS
TRACTS OF MINERAL LAND

United States Attorney Samuel
Plat filed stipulations in the Federal
Court in which the Southern Pacific
Railroad company confessed judgment
in two big equity cases brought by the
government to set aside patents issued
to the railroad company. Through
these suits thousands of acres of min
eral land held by the railroad COM
pany are thrown open to the miner
and prospector. Nearly forty of these
cases have been brought in Nevada
and the government contends in all of
them that the railroad company Sc
cured patents through fraudulent nom
mineral affidavits filed with their ap-
plications. Only four or five of these
cases still remain undecided while the
remainder have resulted in cancelling
the patents and opening up the land
for mineral locations.
