Be booster That means a
whole lot. That means everything in
the way of progress. In the begin
ming forget all the petty animosities
you have for your fellow associates
and neighbors. Try and make your
self believe the best of everything on
earth is centered in your little Will
age or town. Feel at all times as
though you were on par with 'the
best of them" And right true you
are. That will give you buoyancy
to do better and accomplish more.
III nature and chronic crouch is like
cayein in the tunnel, it stops all
your progress and makes your eXis-
tence a despicable atom among the
association of men. If you are miles
in the country give your home town
your praise and benefits, forever for
getting it's shortcomings, for every
hamlet is afflicted with a shortcom-
ing evil, and like gossip it is always
best to be left unsaid. Your golden
rule should be forgive and forget,
with your undivided preference for
all that is good. Commit no act but
with good intentions, and give no
space of thought to the work of evil,
there is always enough inebriates
in this line who work overtime. Make
your home the most beautiful, your
farm the most productive and the
country village the best town. Then.
after all, you'll only come into your

IF the farmer boy knew how Of
ten the business man, tired of the
struggle for existence, wished he
knew enough to go on farm, and
knew how willing the business man
would be to don overalls and work
clothes, we think the young men on
the farm would stop and think a
great deal more about leaving the
farm for business career" says
the Grundy Republican.

1t seems there will be plenty of
Congressional candidates on the

of S. E. Young, of Oelwein, and Jo-
seph Campbell, Of Charles City, are
mentioned.

An exchange states that you can
read the newspaper proof three or
four times and repeatedly pass the
same error without seeing it. All
newspaper men tell you so. But as
soon as the press is started and the
paper is printed in its complete
shape, there stands the error in front
of you so big that you can't see any
thing else. It's a strange fact and
probably the reason why it is so easy
to edit a newspaper after it is print
led.

His Title to Fame.

There is no danger that the ma
tion will honor the homely country
banker with a place in hall of fame
Nor will the nations histories grant
him lines in their pages.
For all Arthur Anundsen did dur
ing the few brief years he was presi-
dent of the First National Bank OF
Detroit, county seat of Becker coun-
ty, was to grow corn where the en-
tire county declared emphatically
even vehemently, that corn would
not grow.

las a result Of the generous manner
in which the public patronized our baby
show last April. a sufficient fund was
realized to provide pure, wholesome
food for the babies throughout the sum-

report that not one of our little charges
died during that period. when mortality
Is so high among Washington babies
There was never time when there
were so many babies in the home as
at present, and since the interest in
war relief measures have become so
general our revenues have dwindled to
practically nothing. And it is rather
pathetic to think that the very causes
which tend to decrease our contributions
lead to increased calls upon the mis-
sion for help.
Through this baby show the home
offers an opportunity to all lovers. of
children and to students of sociology
to come and see what Intelligent care
can do for this class of children. We
cannot give to these little ones that

PRESIDENT AWARDS
MEDAL To A HERO

Upor. the recommendation Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission Presi-
dent Wilson has awarded a medal of
honor to w. A. HOlley, switchman on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway,
at Greenville, Texas, for risking his life
to save that of an elderly woman in a
| near train accident at Greensville last
January.
January 81 last, a passenger train had
stopped and discharged passengers on
side track An inspection train was
approaching on the main line the track
nearest the station, and the passengers
were held up, waiting for it to pass. Mrs.
Salle Griffin, sixty-three years old, ap-
parently, became confused and started
to cross the main line track in the path
Of the oncoming special Switchman
Holley was standing near the depot. Real
izing that Mrs. Griffin could not cross
the track in safety, he ran forward, lift
ed her bodily and carried her out of
danger The guard rail of the oncom-
ing engine struck Holly, but he was un-
injured.
The general manager of the road was
riding in the inspection engine, and the
emergency brakes were applied, but they
failed to stop 1t before it was well past
the point at which Mrs. Griffin was
standing.

Have You the Hair of
a Musician?

Bald or thin-haired musicians are
unknown. This same may be said of
actors The reason is that constant
appearance before the public makes
constant care Of appearance a habit
And constant care of hair insures a
heavy. attractive growth. In cleansing
the hair ii is not advisable to use a
makeshift but always use a preparation
made for shampooing only. You can
enjoy the best that Is known for about
three cents a shampoo by getting a
package of canthrox from your drug
gist: dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water and your shampoo is
ready. After it's use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that it will look much heavier
than It Is. Its luster and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth.-Advt.
