IA Few Suggestions for Boosting ELY

Don't be the man who put sit in
city.
Building good houses builds a
good town.
Save little money and save a
lot of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town
but to money.
Be live one and the town will
never be dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town mu zzle
dogs and not knockers?
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have
to the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world
better is to begin with the home
town.
A town is like a perambulator;
it isn't much good unless it is
pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had
some time.
Be like a ball player. The
thing he is always working for is
home.
Be one of the leaders of the
town, if you can; but, anyway,
keep up.
Don't be a crouch. Everybody
in this town wishes you we'll, ever
the doctor.
Let's not be trying to stop some
thing all of the time. Let's start
something,
A good town will do more te
keep the boys at home than good
advice.
A town is like a girl. It:
wonderful what a little fixing up
will do for her.
Opportunity knocks once al
every mans door; better be al
home when the lady calls.
The world owes every man &
living, but the street corner is {
poor collection agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the
hard snaps are the ones that have

very important question
to-day which every housekeeper
must decide for herself is whether
she prefers pure, cream Of tartar
baking powder like Royal or
whether she is willing to use alum
baking powder in food.
One kind is easily distin-
guished from the other, since the
laws Of various States require
the ingredient to be printed
upon the label. IF anyone is in
doubt which to use, it is worth
while to ask the family doctor.
Then decide.
And when once a decision is
reached Let no advert sement, or,
Dealers argument, or canvasser's
solicitation change the deci-
sion. It is not question Of
few cents or Of pleasing a sales
man. It is question Of health
If this appeals to you as rea-

is worth reading twice. And it is
worth remembering.

PRINTING THE NEWS

We often hear some thoughtless
fellow say. If 1 was running a
paper, would print the NEWS.
1 don't care who it might hit. If
they don't want to get into the
paper. let them keep out of trouble. "
We remember one particular in
stance in which a similar remark
was made.
We had, through the pleadings
of fearful sister, killed" a good
story concerning the escapade of
rather worthless young fellow.
But to his mother and sister he
was not worthless. and they pre-
vailed upon us not to print the
item which would disgrace them
forever.
And we did not print it.
So we were accused of cowardice
by this certain critic and were told
that we did not know how to run
a paper.
In vain we tried to explain that
many things besides our own per-
sonal likes and dislikes entered
into our weekly labor.
1t was no use, he said, we should
print the news.
Six months later the same man
came sneaking up to Our home in
the dead of night to plead and beg
with us rot to print much worse
story in which he himself was
mixed up.
We had the story but had no
intention or printing it, for it was
one of those things that it is best
for all concerned and for the pub
lie to suppress.
But our critic had heard that we
knew the details and, and the un-
fairness that characterized his first
utterance, at once jumped to the
conclusion that we would chortle
with Joy over a chance to faunt
such a choice bit of gossip in the
faces of our readers.
Remembering his attitude on the
other occasion we let him squirm
bit.
We reminded him of his former
statement and intimated that he
had at that time opened our eyes.
We would publish the news. If
anyone did not want to get into
the paper. let them keep out of
trouble"
He remembered.
He admitted that he had so
expressed himself.
But he was wrong, he said.
And this case was different.
Moreover, he was a prominent
man-and married-and he had a
family-and all of the same stuff
that every editor hears when some
one gets into trouble.
Well, the story was not printed.
1t never would have been. But
we feel sure that our critic believes
that the only thing that kept it out
was his prominence" and "inf1u-
ence. ."-Ex.

The meeting of the ladies of the
Federation of Women's clubs at
Chisholm was grand success, and
many of the routine matters, such
as the liquor traffic and other rou-
tine subjects, were, dealt with in
the usual manner of condemnation.
But there is one act that was
taken at that meeting which to us
stands out far above the others,
and that is the matter of improving
the conditions for the immigrant
women of our country. There are
many of the finest people of the
United States who first saw the
light of day in another country.
AS was quoted in their resolution,
they come here for privileges which
the women of their country do not
enjoy.
If these ladies who attended the
Chisholm meeting will only carry
out the ideas expressed in their
resolution we believe that they can
do more good than in working for
equal rights and other objects, even
granting that we believe in these
other lesser matters. They can be-
gin right at home. The library is

speak English, why should not the

Strange Death Message.

1t may have been a strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that. The
husband Of Paris woman violinist,
himself musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His name
was Remy. At parting he told his
wife: If go under will try to let
you know directly before the official
news reaches you" She scarcely
played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vio-
lin. feeling impelled to play one piece
which he liked above all. She opened
the case, and two strings of the violin
suddenly snapped, the D and the f..
Re" and "Mi." she at once thought.
1t was the warning he had said he
would give her. The next day a tele-
gram informed her that her husband,
Sergeant Remy. had been killed in
action.
