THE OLD HOME PAPER

When the citizen is gathered to
his fathers it is the county weekly
that extols his virtues and lays
wreaths of flowers upon his bier
and consoles those left behind.
1t records the arrival of babyhood
and tells of the bright prospects
that surround the happy couple
as they start out on the journey
of matrimony. When the sun is
high and bright and prosperity
flows over the land it rejoices
with the people and repeats
again and again the story of the
best town in the best couny in the
state. When the droughts stalks
down the valley and crops are
parching in the hot sands, it sings
songs Of optimism and states
authoritatiYely that the next issue
will record soaking rain. Bill
Sikes's new barn. Jim jun.

able patch of alfalfa find their way
into its columns. The doctor,
the baker, the candlestick
maker all Of them appear in
a neveraonottnntttaea picture be-
fore the eyes of people every
seven days. The man who has
wandedered far from mis- fire
side picks it up, again is spread
before him the whole panorama
Of his boyhood's golden days.
All for two cents a week and pay
when you happen to think about it
The stern faced man of
millions in his spacious office
reaches out eagerly every Satur-
day morning and paws over the
pile of mail until he finds the
dinky little paper with the red
label on it. The careworn
woman in the humble home on
the far western plain glances
frequently from the doorway
down the long winding road at
the close certain day every
week for the coming of the hus
band and father.
She, too, is looking for the
same paper with the same little |
label on it. They scan every
item-the man of gold and the
sad eyed woman-and. the marble
halls and the flush of power,
and the dingy walls and the gnaw
of want, fade away and are for
gotten. He sees again the
swimming hole in the bend Of the
creek and hears the shout Of the
boys from the bank as they yell
"Chaw beef" She in fancy
smooths again the new blue frock
as she sits in the front room and
listens for the footsteps Of him"
as he comes whistling down the
walk. SO they live again the
glorious days of the old home
town-the man of gold and the
sad-eyed woman.
Tis thing of sentiment, this
little old county newspaper.
When you want the story of
yalor told to the world it sings the
song. When, perchance, disgrace
paints the scarlet letter on the
family, it listens to the pleadings
of broken heart and whispers
not of it. When it does you a
favor you come in and beg a few
extra copies, but when it steps
on your toes you drop around to
lick the editor. Without your
dinky country paper your town
and hamlets would be like the
man who threw kisses at a girl in
the dark-he knew it, but nobody
else did You might imagine
you were alive. but other people
would have to buy railroad ticket
snd come out and see for them
selves. Thus ends the brief tale
of the blooming old thing that
isn't worth two cent a week.

BAsEBALL-sPoRTs OF ALL SORTS BOXING
Milwaukee to Be Boxing Mecca Of
Middle West.


Milwaukee is waking up. With the
signing of the boxing bill by Gov.
McGovern of Wisconsin, the organi-
cation of fight clubs has already been
started in the Cream City, and star
bouts in the near future are assured.
Promoters in the Wisconsin city
will have no opposition. Milwaukee
is the only place in the Middle West
of any size that is open to real fight
ing. It is figured that crowds will
attend the mills from Chicago, Min
neapolis, st. Paul and even Detroit.
This patronage will be healthy
enough to enable the offering Of
large purses, and crack fighters will
be secured for the entertainments.
A new system of elimination bouts
may be instituted. 1t is planned that
when a fighter has cleaned up his
opponent in the Middle West he will
be matched at the top Of his class in
New York. and the victor in this in
tersectional go will then be sent over
the derby route on the coast with
the champion of his division.
It's proximity to Milwaukee will
also make Chicago more of a boxing
center than it. has been in the last
few years. Many of the fighters will
make their headquarters here, estab-
lish permanent training camps, and
on tn Milwaukee the day they are
billed to fight. Already there are
signs of activity around the local
gymnasiums. AS long as we can't
have boxing at home, Milwaukee will
furnish a good substitute:
Joe Jeanette gained a ten-round
decision over Lester Johnson in New
York last night. Jeanette out
weighed his opponent twenty pounds,
but couldn't land a Knockout punch.
Jim Flynn has begun active train
ing in New York for his ten-round

GOOD ROAD BONDS
WIN IN RICHF|ELD
EXAMPLE OF sHosHoNE IN PRO-
WDiNG FOR MODERN
HIGHWAYS.

The question Of issuing bonds for good
roads in Riehfield carried last Saturday
by practically unanimous vote The
proposition was submitted to the prop
erty ownersao bond the district for
$4,000 for the purpose Of constructing
good roads. The proposition carried by
the remarkable vote Of 1913 TO 2. 1t is
understood that the work is to start
just as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be made Another feature Of
the situation in Richfield is that every
dollar Of the $4,000 is to be paid cut
to citizens Of the district. Not dol
Jar is to go to outside contractors.
This unanimity Of sentiment in favor Of
the bonds is regarded as all the more
remarkable in view Of the fact that
similar bonding propositions have been
voted down in various other districts
in the State.

An OBLIGATION
UPON SHOSHONE
BUSINESS MEN ASKED TO HELP
MEET A DEFICIT CONTRACTED
BY OLD COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Journal cheerfully publishes the
subjoined statement. which should apS
to the townspeople generally:
ITO the Business Men OF Shoshone:
There is a moral obligation outstanding
against the business men of Shoshone
amounting to about $3.50. This repre-
sents a debt contracted by the old
Commercial Club for mattresses, bedding
and sleeping quarters for the public
accommodation at the time of the Die
trich opening. The Commercial Club did
not have the money and the directors
OF the Commercial Club borrowed the
same and gave their individual note in
payment thereof There are only three
of these directors left in the commun-
ity. namely: Paul S. Haddock. W. Hail
Horne and F. C. Pierce. and they will
be forced to pay this note individually.
unless the business men Of the town
feel like coming to their assistance.
This money was spent for the pub
lie good and we do not believe that
the business men Of our town viii feel
like letting the entire debt fall upon /
the shoulders of the three directors I
above named. We would suggest that /

he business men for the purpose of
.aising money to assist in paying off
his note. This is procedure that has
