Frank Novak got word. that his horse
which he lost, and has been advertising,

He has goe an idea that everybody is

some of the stunts he has pulled of
here.
=" 1t is easier to preach than to'prac-
tlee" used to be a favorite copy for
the old'writing books. That's the rea-
son that some preach 80 much and
practice so little. We do not wish to
encroach on the province of the preach
er. but think suggestion may be
timely. For the good of the town of
Raymer and for certain inaiyiduafs, it
would look better and be better if
there were less booz consumediif town
and less effects of the,dtinking exhibit
ed on the street. In fset, we firmly
believe that the town and community
would be better off if'another drop was
not put off at this station in the next
ten years. However, we have no COM
plant if man wishes to get it and
take it home to drink or to invite his
neighbors to share 1t with him, but
our sidewalks are not wide enough or
good enough to make it look good in
town. 1t would seem as if Raymer
had seen enough of the effects Of the
stuff in the past eight weeks, To cut it
out.
/. The editor of this paper is frequent
ly solicited for advice in matters where
he is glad to give it free of charge, but
we willnot knowingly give the kind
that foments quarrels, or stirs up
strife. The matter Of stock eating
growing crops is one we'll calculated to
try the patience Of all. 1t would pro-
woke saint to find cattle destroying
fine crop, and the most of us are not
saints, 80 the thing is provocative of a
good deal of wrath. :, We believe that
stock owners should exercise more
care than they do in turning their
stock out. We, are,all here together.
The success of,eaeh one helps the 9TH
err We could not rest easy and know
that our stock was eating another
mans crop, nor could we pass bunch
Of cattle eating up crop, with no in
terest in either crop or cattle, and not
drive them off. On the other hand we
could not give, the advice which we un-
derstand that one attorney has given,
and that was to scatter poisoned grain
on the unfenced ground, at the same
time notifying the owners Of the stock
that it was going to be done. If we
did that we should expect to get into
trouble. Our advice to all parties is to
follow the Golden Rule and keep out of
trouble. $40 j..
