A Puzzle That Puzzles

Here's a puzzle that puzzles
everybody: Take the number of
your living brothers, double that
amount, add it to 3. multiply by 5.
add it to the number of your living
sisters, multiply by 10, add the
number of deaths of brothers and
subtract $50 from the result, The
right figure will be the number of
deaths of brothers, the middle fig
ure will be the number of living
sisters and the left figure will show
the number of living brothers. Try
it and see. Who can supply an ex-

Neither Does He Spin. "

We've often wondered just what
is the purpose in life of the young
man who sits in the StairwayS and
loafs in different places in the city
day after day and week after week.
With no visible means of support,
he sits idly and watches other men
perform their different duties in
life while he eats the bread which
his hand did not earn, and accepts
the hospitality of the home which
had no part in making. Are they
devoid of even a small spark of
ambition. Are they willing to 90
thru life without some effort to
cease existing as a worthless
drone? There's nothing so disgust
ing in our estimation as a big hulk
of a young man who refuses to
work when he is no doubt more
able to do so than those upon
whom he is depending on for sup
port. Every town or city is blessed
(?) with a few of this class of men
and some plan should be devised
to awaken them to a just sense of
what should be their duties and re-
spOnsibilitieS in life MILAN Stand

Rural Carriers.
home.

There was a meeting of the Rural
Carriers of Monroe, Marion, Rails
and Shelby Counties held in this
city Saturday. The Northeast
Missouri Rural Carriers Association
was organized. This is an organi-
zation of importance not only to
the carriers but to the patrons, AS
the carriers will meet and discuss
conditions, good and bad, and each
will profit by the experience of 9th
ers. The carriers out of this city
and so far as we know, in the four
counties, are giving their patrons
the best of service But, sad to
relate there are patrons who do not
fully appreciate the work of the
faithful carriers. There are many
ways in which each of US could
make life more pleasant for them
Think the matter over, imagine
yourself in the position of the car
rier and then treat them as you
would desire others to treat you.
