THE HOME PAPER.

1t wants you on it's reading list, re
corded on it's books, and then you'll
get it every week and know just how
it looks.
1t will tell you all about the news,
in this and nearby towns, who gets
married, dies, is born, and who
elopes or browns.
There isn't a thing from A to Z
that tends to help the town, that
the paper doesn't catch it up and
quickly pass it round
1t tells about your visitors, with IT,
! ties emphasized, while all then
points of merit are freely generaliZed
1t tells the story of success, but
screens the failure side, and when
the facts will make a mess, it simply
lets them slide.
| 1t tells about your virtues, and
overlooks your sins, and puts an eX-
ira emphasis upon the birth of twins
1t never deigns to tell a lie except
in personal praise, and then it does
it, clear and strong, and with its
choicest phrase.
In writing up your marriage, ii
elaborates with care, and says the
bride was beautiful and the groom
was on the square.
1t doesn't matter who it is that
crosses Jordan's river the paper
tickets him as saint, and safely
sends him thither
1t tells about that darling boy who
had a dollar raise, leaves out his
measley little tricks and just recites
his praise.
And there's your daughter on the
street, gadding night and day, of all
tire rumor slow or fleet, it wisely
does not say.
1t paints out every blemish on the
picture of your life, and paints III
every virtue of home that has
no strife.
1t learns to read between the lines
and find the tender spot, to blow not
cold on young or old, when the blow
ing should be hot.
1t senses all the skeletons behind
the closet door and runs it's big blue
pencil through the lines that turn
them DER.
1t knows about your weaknesses.
your little streaks of yellow, just how
to smother ill reports or make them
smooth and mellow
1t knows what families live in
peace, and those most apt to jar, and
whether it's just birthmark, or q
sad domestic scar
1t knows the man who pays, and
the one who could but won't, and ali
the chronic knockers, and the one
who makes a "bunt"
| 1t knows the financial standing OF
every man in town, and whether its
living or cheerless giving, that con-
! stantly keeps him down.
Unlike the city dailies that delve
in scandals sewer, it eliminates the
! sewage and retains the good and
pure.-Onarga Qll) Leader and Re

A NEW ERA DAWNlNG.

This week The Post enters upon
it's fourth year of existence, and the
editor desires to take occasion to
extend his heartfelt thanks to the
many patrons and readers of this
paper for their loyal support during
the three years just ended.
In retrospection we can see where
much progress has been made in the
development of the great Parker
country since the establishment Of
The Fost Three years ago no move
had been made toward securing the
opening Ot the reservation lands ,ex-
cept that portion upon which the
tOwnsite was located.
On May 10, 1910, the government Of
ficaIly opened the townsite by offer
ing for sale the unsold lots contained
thereon. During the sale upwards of
800 eco worth of lots were bought
by the highest bidders, most of
whom comprised the citizens of Par
ker Aside from this those citizens
who Lroved up on their lots were
compelled to pay fancy prices to the
government for title, and from this
source it is estimated that approx
mateIy $4,000 was paid over to the
government.
During the same year efforts were
made to secure a survey of the re-
serve, and finally in the fall of 1911
a crew of surveyors were put in the
field by the land office for this
purpose. The survey was completed
in the following April
During the same period the lOca
. board of trade kept petitioning the
department for the construction OF
the pumping plant, authorized by act
of congress on April 6, 1910, and the
allotment of lands to the Indians be
longing upon the reservation.
The pumping plant has been com
pleted, and at the present time prac
tically all of the ditch work is finish
d. The Indians have received then
allotments, and so far as can be fore
seen there is nothing standing il
the way of tn opening of the reser
vatton under the Carey act
The Post rejoices with the people
of Parker over the achievement @
all of these necessary steps TOWARD
the ultimate opening of the lands
