continue to have considerable sickness
in their families and receive regular
visits from the doctor. There seems to
be more sickness with the approach of
spring this year than there has been in
a number of years past.
Next Tuesdays township election con-
tinues to fail to cause any excitement
and it looks as if all the old officers who
want to can. be reelected without op-
position. The question will be voted
upon as to whether the township shall
give road overseers additional pay for
services over the $500 which the law
now provides, where the additional
service is found necessary in the proper
performance of their duties. The ques-
ton Is one which we think should carry.

Partners in Town Business.

A village, town, city, is part
nership. All of us here are in busi-
ness together Ownership of property
is individual, but our prosperity as a
whole is closely bound up in each 9th
er's interests.
If you have house to rent, goods
to sell, labor to sell, success in getting
a good price for such service depends
on the prosperity Of your neighbors.
If they are doing well, they will pay
fair prices and as times go, these
prices tend TO rise.
On the other hand if your neigh
bors are not succeeding, they will
haggle for the last cent for your
house, for your goods, your labor. The
prices for these services will tend
to fall.
When you buy goods away from
home you work to reduce the pros
perity of your neighbors. Thereby
they become less able to do anything
to help you, and you have failed to
build up business ties with them so
that they feel no personal interest in
you.
When you buy goods at home you
increase the prosperity of your neigh.
bors. They are not merely better able
thereby to help you along in return
but you have created business friend
ships that make them want to help
you.
Buying at home pays!

 The relay championships attract, of course, the greatest interest, but the special events have developed so rap idly the past five years that they all most vie with them for the interest of the general public. This is due to the superlative excellence of the en- tries for these events
 The contestants will be even higher class than ever before, for there is not one of these special events in which there are not champions or record holders entered
 year at the relays is the high jump. The fact that all the other countries in the world together could not dupli- cate the entries for this event shows to what a high standard high Jumping has attained in this country.

YALE ABOLISHES
 SIDE LINE COACH
Capt. Ketcham Asks Princeton and Harvard Football Teams
 to Agree

New Haven, April 25-Captain Henry Ketcham of the Yale football eleven has written to the Harvard and Princeton Football Associations invit- ing them to abolish all coaching from the sideIines during the games these three universities play in the future. His proposal IS that the players shall be allowed to fight their own battles on the gridiron and that word from the coaches shall be sent to the players only between playing periods.
 Captain Ketcham's letter has com mitted Yale to the policy. Harvard and Princeton are not inclined to ac- cept and the matter will be allowed to rest till another season, when Yale will urge it's adoption on the Crimson and the Tiger.
