condemned. Plain facts, they say,
ought not to be printed for 1t hurts
the town. But the reporter or the
editor scarcely eve gets a compliment
for the good things that are said about
the town or of its citizens week by
week. Newspaper men are human and
if they say a good thing about you or
your family they ought to be thanked
for it. If they boost the town every
issue it we're good policy to overlook
the minor defects in an occasional
issue of the paper and give them credit
for the good things they print and pass
over the defects.

seeded your premises again with the
yellow peril" One careless citizen
may easily make it impossible for his

When determination is going on, the

1t isn't the amount of religion a man
has hat makes him good and fits him
for heaven; it is the amount he uses.
Long prayers and loud professions do
not count; but the mar who loves his
fellow men and fellow women, who
ministers to afflicted and wears a smile
for all, including wife and children, nor
kicks the dog when he ought to kick
himself, who speaks well of people
when their backs are turned and under
all circumstances keeps an even mind
that MA does not have to go TO
heaven. He gets to feeling happy all
the time as a matter of habit, and he
takes all the dispensations of life with
philosophical satisfaction.--Ex.
Under a spreading chestnut tree a
stubborn auto stands, and Smith an
angry man is he with trouble on his
hands. He cusses softly to himself
and crawls beneath the car and won
ders why it didn't bust before 1t got
so far. The caroureter seems to be
the cause of all his woe; he frightened
half a dozen bolts, but still it doesn't
go. And then he tries the steering
gears, but finds no trouble there, till,
wet with honest sweat and tears, he
side the road to cool and ponders on
his training in the correspondence
school, and then he starts the job
once more until by chance it's seen,
the cause of all the trouble is he's out
Of gasoline.-Ex.
A meeting of the Mutual Benefit
Field Club, composed Of the South Da-
kota district agents of the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company, vas
held here on Tuesday, with eleven
agents from out of the city. Tuesday
morning and afternoon was taken up
with business sessions, held In the
Offices OF H. L. Button, agent tor this
district. and in the evening st seven
thirty a banquet was held at the Leon
hotel. Mr.. Button acted as toast
master and responses were made by
President Perisho, DR.. B. T. Green
and Rev. Gardner. Mr.. Gardner has
some interesting "reminiscences to tell
he was an agent of the Mutual
Benefit fifty years ago and has had
policy with the company ever since.
The two divisions Of the State Col
lege freshman sewing class in home
under the direction of Miss
Hartgering gave an exhibit in the
North building on Monday. The ex-
h'bit consisted Of girls wearing ap-
parel including hats, and was the work
OF the class done during the past
month. This class Is a large one, hav-
ing SO members, and the exhibit was
correspondingly extensive. Many OF
the mothers and friends Of the girls
were present from within a radius of
sixty miles, and they expressed sur
prise and delight over the fine work.
After the exhibit closed the junior
girls Of the home economics depart
ment in serving and dietetics were the

life Is when he fancies there's an
easier way Of making a dollar than by

automobile authorities assert that the
opening Of the cutout is useless except
on rare occasions. On a straight
away course there Is practically no
grade the n~erve-racking noise Of the
opened cut0ut Is a positive nuisance
and II the individual who is guilty Of
this useless practice could hear all the
remarks made about him he would
soon reform his ways. Vanity may
have some part in causing auto drivers
to make a loud noise with their ma
chimes so as to attract a street full Of
people to the naughty splendor Of
their car. II Is q sort of q look-at-me
