COTTONWOOD GOES TO WATER.

Ten years ago l.. w Lusk drilled a
well ON his farm southwest of town. a
year later he set out a small cotton
wood tree about twelve feet from the
we'll. Last week something went
wrong with the pump and it became
necessary to remove the pipe. Ordi-
narily 'hiis would have been easy
however, MIR. Lusk found that the pipe
was as solid rs a tree. After working
with it for some time withou: any re-
suits it was found necessary TO take
the casing out also and after some
difficulty this VAS done, and it was
found that a root from the tree had
found a small hole in the casing, had
entered and started down to water and
had formed n solid mesh between the
pipe and the casing for a distance Of
at least twelve feet. The root and a
portion of the mesh is nov on exhibit
at the Carter Tracy Hardware Store.

Everybody reads the newspapers
these days. We are a nation of read
ers.
We read the daily papers for the
worlds news of the day, for the mar
ket reports, for the works of our legis-

But we read the LOCAL PAPER for
the news which m straight home
to us-the news which is necessary to
our growing intelligence-which is an
essential part OF our being.
We read the LOCAL PAPER be.
cause it alone can keep us in close
touch with local affairs of moment
with our neighbors and the commun.
ity-yith conditions which are of prime
Importance To us.
We read the LOCAL PAPER be-
cause without it we would be practi-
cally strangers in our own homes, be-
cause we would be living in ignora nee
Of those happenings Of which lncal con

constantly informed.
Present day necessity requires that

The trouble with this world observes
Squire Thrifty is that the people are
not well balanced. Nearly everyone
allows some particular trend of their
nature to crowd out the development
of other natural proclivities. Some
run to an oyer-abundance OF amuse-
ment. Some have a craze for the
mighty dollar and some even go to
seed on religion. 1t is up to each per-
son to see that each phase Of their nature
keeps its place. The amusement tiend
becomes the ne'er-do-well, the spend.
thrift the licentious. the ~drunkard, the
dope fiend, the follower of the red
light district. The money chaser be-
comes the tight-fisted miser, the shriv-
eled, unsympathetic hermit. right in
the midst of life and love and compan-
iouship The over-religious becomes
the crank, the intolerant, u%nrelenting
despot of spiritual things that fails to

good things that 1.-THE world is constant
