precisted the kindness OF those who
have placed signbOards and guide
posts at the various CROSSROADS and
we should return the compliment
Some OF the principal roads in the
county already have been marked but
there are many important cross roads
left unmarked and the need OF guiding
signs at such places is great
In ox-cart days small thought was
given to guide posts. When the horse
crowded the OF from the highways
guide posts assumed larger impor-
tance But it remained for the auto
mobile to bring the CROSSROADS sign
post to its full usefulness.
These are days of long tours, On
any day one may see machines bear
ing the license tags'of dozen states
many of them distant The country is
criss-crossed with tourist routes and
scarcely any territory daunts the man
behind the steeringwheel. Auto clubs
have done much work in erecting
guide posts, but the task OF properly
posting the highways. even of single
county, is well-nigh endless.

A Srectly Solemn Thought

how dear to our hearts is the steady
subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth OF
each year.
Who lays down the money and does 1t
quite gladly,
And casts round the office halo OF
cheer
lie never says: stop it; cannot af-
ford it,
I'm getting more papers than now 1
can read
But always says, Send it, our people
all like it
In fact, we all think it help and a
need"
How welcome his check when it reach
es our sanctum,
How 1t makes our pulse throb; how
1t makes our heart dance
We outwardly thank him: we inwardly
bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in ad-
vance

He Knew HWW

There was an old geezer and he had
3 lot OF sense:
He started up business on a dollar
eighty-cents-
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in a
day. by dad!
Well. he bought more goods and lit
tie more space
And he played that system with a
smile on his face.
The customers focked to his two-by-
four
And soon he had to hustle for a reg
ular store
Up on the square where the people
pass
He gobbied up a corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the best
that he had
And he told them all about 1t in hall
page ad
He soon had 'em coming and he never
never quit
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
one iit
Well. he's kept things humping in the
town ever since
And everybody calls him the merchan,
Prince.
Some say It's luck, but that's all bunk
Why. he was doing business when the
times were punk.
People have to purchase and the gee
ger was wise
For he knew the way to get 'cm was
to advertise.

Sign.i'Osts

All crossroads In this and every
other county in the state, should be
equipped with signbOards. The sooner
this is done the better it will Re; not
alone for the auto-tourists who in
large numbers are crossing our safe,
but for the people OF our own county
who have occasion to make trips into
territory unfamiliar to them.
A generous act never fails OF its re-
ward, and when township trustees or
county commissioners, or whoever
should do this work can perform so
splendid service in the line of official

done.

The Home Paper

Ex-Governor Francis once said the
following of newspapers: Each year
the local paper gives from $500 to
$1,000 in free lines to the community
in which it is located. No other agency
can or will do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to his means, does more for
his town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness he ought to be support
ed-not because you like him or ad-
mire his writings. but because the
local paper is the best investment a
community can make. 1t may not be
brilliantly edited or crowded with
thought, but financially it is of more
benefit to the community than the
preacher or teacher Understand me
do not mean mentally and yet on
moral questions you will find most OF
the papers on the right side. Today the
editor of the local papers do the most
for the least money of any people on
earth"

Ipesfness Cannot he Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure DEAFNESS
and that Is by constitutional reme-
dies Deafness is caused by an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube When this tube
is infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.

That would be a great help alone. But

Quit Your Meanness

Put the hammer in the locker:
Hide the sounding board likewise; ;
Anyone can be a knocker;
Anyone can criticise.
Cultivate a manner winning.
Though it hurts your face to smile
And 1t seems awkard in beginning:
Be a booster for while.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding:
That's the way he draws his pay.
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop kind word in the slot,
And I'll warrant you'll get action
On our effort on the spot
Kindness every time beats kicking;
Mirth is better than a frown:
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are down.
And it isn't so distressing

To the man the fates are pressing
When the chicks come home to roost.

SCHOONER SAILS TO RELIEVE
 THE M'MILLAN EXPEDITION
Which Was Sent Out Two Years Ago
 to Explore Crocker Land,

New York, June 9.-The three mast ed schooner George B. Cluett, with crew of eight and provisions enough for two years, sailed tonight for Etah, Greenland, to relieve the McMiIlan party, which was sent out two years ago to explore Crocker land, the exist ence of which Rear Admiral Peary be- Geved he had discovered. The Cluett was to have sailed yesterday, but was delayed by the necessity of redrawing the clearance papers.
 After a brief stop at Boston, the Cluett will go directly to the hospitals of the Grenfell association on the coasts of Nova Scotia and Labrador, where she will discharge part of her cargo. At one of these points she will find pr. E. o. Hovey of the American Museum of Natural History, which financed the McMillan expedition, and will then proceed to Etah.
 Captain H. c. Pickles of the Cluett, who has seen service in the north seas for the past twenty years, expects to reach Greenland the latter part of July. On board the ship is a big mas cot "Ohum," a Newfoundland dog.
 Professor McMillan, in a letter re- gently received from the far north, said his search for Crocker land, so named by Rear Admiral Peary, had failed and that he was convinced the land Peary believed he saw was a mirage.
