House Cleaning Time"

BY the Ben>Rtown Bard
4 WISH We could open our lives every year
ri As we do houses in spring
And clean them Of sorrow and trouble and tear
With the brush Of q birduks wing.
wish We could straighten tho rooms afresh
And air them and make thsn sweet
The pain from the heart and the from tho fesh
AND the stones from under tho feet!
How fine it would be to throw open the door
OF the soul as we do the den
And fill 1t all up with the odoes that pour
From the bloom Of the sprngtime glen.
wish we could clean out the heart as they do
The parlor and library and hall
And find when the dustng and sweeping are through
Not q cobweb is left the wall.
wish could brush out the house of our dreams
When the golden mornings arise
And spring walks over the world in CLEANS
And violet visions of skies.
Clear out the rubbish and throw it away
And leave only this behind
The nabit Of living out day by day
In the beauty of being kind
Inat would make cleaning in spring worth WHILE
That would make dusting 80 sweet
To find in the place Of the shadow the smile
And the carpets of rose under feet
wish we could do it with heart and will
AS the swift years over us roll
And only keep beauty enough TO fill
Our lives with the beauty of soul!

MIR. COUNCIL EXPLAINS
DEBT OF $4,000

Mr.. ]. F. Council wishes his recent
letter republished on account of the
omission of a line when it was flrst
published. The letter follows:
Editor Evening Telegram: Read
ing report of the city manager IN
Yesterdays issue of the Telegram,
note he refers to debt of approx
mately $4,000, which was inherit
ed from the former city council.
While | know that Mr.. Mcleod
did not intend to do the members OF
the. former council an injustice, the
ordinary layman reading this report
would possibly misunderstood iusa
what he intended to report.
l cannot give you the figures eX-
actly:
On Jan. l, 1918, the city had out
standing notes with the local banks
amounting to about $4,000; on
Jan. /, 1914, the city had notes out
standing in local banks amounting
to SIC, 800, an increase of about ST.
500 over the amount they inherited.
During the year of 1913 the city
council was also called on to meet
obligations in connection with the
sewerage and streets: For instance,
lowering of the water lines, OF
which | cannot at this time give
the cost. 1t was necessary to drain
Lake Wire at cost Of $4,000 or
more, build retaining wall around
Munns park at a cost OF ~
600 or more, build the city stables at
a cost of $500 or $500. The city
counciy was also called on to meet
deficiency in the sewer contracts
and made a note to the bond trus-
tees to cover this deficiency of Sc
$3.50. 1t was also necessary to
make note to the bond trustees to
cover this deficiency of S6,S7S SO.
1t was found also necessary to cover
sewer connections in the paved dis
tricts, amounting to $2,949. 10.
Deducting the notes made to the
bond trustees, you will readily see
that the city was $4,000 more in
debt Jan. /, 1914, than when the
city council took charge of city af-
fairs on Jan. /, 1913, with perma-
nent improvements made during the
year far exceeding this amount.
l ask that you publish this ex-
PLANTATION as the managers report
to the commission, while uninten-
tional, is somewhat misleading to
the public.
Yours very truly,
j. F. COUNCIL.

Every editor frequently is petri-
fed with establishment at the weird
and wonderful appearance of the
children of his brain, as the latter
meet his gaze after being printed in
his paper. When one of these para
graphs appear utterly without sense,
the editor lays it on the intelligent

thou likewise. Hank not to the plea
Of the said int. comp. that there
wasn't much sense in the paragraph
to start with The omission of a
word vital to the meaning; the in
sertion of a line belonging to an
other article, and having absolutely
no relevancy to the item in which ii
appears-these are the most COM
mon tricks played by the linotype,
or otherwise caused by the rush in
which daily paper must be pre-
pared. The worst of it is that ex-
plantations do not explain, and at
tempted corrections only make mat
tiers worse. When a poor, little
unoffending paragraph has to run
the gauntlet of being written by an
editor, ground out by the linotype
mangled by the correcting CD artist
and slammed silly by the makeup
it's not supposed to have much sense
left in 1t, anyway.

A large percentage of the dissatis-
faction with the farm, which results
IN farmer boys seeking the city, is
due to the silly rot with which most
farm papers are filled. These publ
cations seem to think it their mis-
sion to spread the gospel of discon-
tent, and to convince the farmer
that he is the most mistreated indi-
vidual on earth. We note going the
rounds an alleged humorous para
graph taken from one of these farm
papers, in which the life of a boy on
the farm is depicted as one contin-
uous round of sordid labor without
any time for amusement or pleasure.
Any man who has ever lived on a
farm knows that the opportunities
for happiness, peace and content
ment are greater there than in any
other avocation, and cherishes most
pleasant memories of the. experience;
but it is easy to convince a hoy that
the few chores required of him con-
stitute drudgery, and he is made dis
satisfied and set to longing for the
pleasures and easy life CD of the
city. When it is too late he awakens
to his mistake and would give much
to be again at his "boyhood's happy
home down on the farm"

emulate the example of those Ches-
