more than we do. 1t is up to the
commercial interests of this town
to get together and find a way to
bring this great wealth into this
town. We can not justly blame
he farmer, because if we we're
n his place we would undoubted-
y be doing just as he is doing.
1 1t is his money and he has a right
to do as he pleases with it, and
it is a safe bet that he will exer-
else that right to the limit VIII en-
ever he spends a dollar.
1t will not be difficult to keep
the farmer trade in this town if
our business men 60 after it in
the right way. But waiting and
drifting will not do it. The far.
mer must be convinced by cold
facts that it is to his interest to
do all of his trading in this town,
but it will take something beside
empty words to do it. He is a
man of facts, and nothing but
facts will have any weight with
him. Hence, we repeat, it is our
duty to get together and remedy
the defects in our commercial
system that now exist and make
conditions such that the farmer
will turn to this town instructive
ly as the most logical and profit
able place to trade.
Now who will make the start
in this kind of a forward move
ment? If each one waits for the
other we will simply keep on
drifting until we all drift under
the sod. Let a leader step for
ward, and this paper will be right
behind him and pushing and show
ing to the limit, for we want to
see our home town move forward
and keep right on moving and
climbing. If you know OF a man
who would make an ideal leader
go and tell him so-punch him,
wake him up, start him to doing
something right now. Then do
your share to encourage him and
help him along. If you are the
one for leader, step out and let
us see you, and hear you, and per-
haps in the end we will be able
to do something besides just
drift, drift, drift.

Take a look at your neighbours
yard. 1t may look better than
yours. Your neighbor may even
be cleaning it up while you are
looking, when as a matter of fact
you ought to be cleaning up your
self in order to make your yard
look better than his. That's the
way to make strangers look twice
at a town as they pass through.

As the Editor Sees 1t.

What are we doing for this
town? What are we doing to push
it along, to make it som ethinG
more than just dot on the map?
Ask yourself the question first,
and then ask others, and keep on
asking until we locate the cause
of our backwardness and take
steps to remedy the defects. This
is not a drifting age, aud the
town that is content to just drift
along will soon learn that there
is no place left in which to even
drift. 1t is not a lack OF
brains, because our people are
blessed with an abundance. 1t
may be, however, that we lack
the initiative that is necessary
to keep pace with the more thriv-
ing and prosperous communities
of the country. IF so, we should
at once correct our fault and move
forward. We should grasp every
opportunity for improvement and
expansion that presents itself,
and when there are none in sight
we should go out and hunt them.
Drifting will accomplish nothing
but to bury itself beneath the en-
thusiasm and prosperity of our
neighbors. Now who wants to
drift? Not you, we hope.
Do you own a car? If so, pick
up some of your neighbors and
drive out into the country and
use your eyes and native intelli-
geuce. Just take note OF the
prosperous condition of the far
mers everywhere you go. Are
they making their money and
building beautiful homes and buy
ing cars by simply drifting? Not
much! They work, and they use
their brains and their ingenuity
as we'll as their hands. No drift.
ing with them. If they see an
opportunity to improve conditions
by the purchase of piece of new
machinery, they buy it in a hurry
and start it to earning more dol
lars for them. If they think they
are not getting the proper returns
from their acreage they dig dowr
and uuearth the cause and go to
work promptly to remedy It.
Good enough" does not appea'
to them. They want something
better, and they get it simply be
cause they have the will and de-
termination to go after it. They
are climbing the ladder every
day, and they have ALREADY
worked their way far toward the
top. They never drift.
Why is it that there is so muci
wealth among the farmers and
yet so little of it finds its way in
to this town? There is 4 reason
aud a very potent one. IT we aSl
our farmer friends they perhaps
will tell us. But We should hav'
brains enough to solve this prob
lem ourselves. We shouldn'
adopt the kindergarten method
of asking someone who know

IL was not much that aroused his sus-
picions. but Grant believed that every
tning was important until he had proved
1t wasn't.
He had been out, gun on shoulder and
game bag on back, looking for quail and
mad broken unexpectedly through. the
snruobery edging a field into little used
country road.
"WhoaP yelled a rough voice the mo-
ment he appeared, and Grant looked
around TO see heavy wagon pull UP short
nifty feet or so away. The wagon was COW
cred with tarpaulin. and on it were three
surly looking men, each OF whom had his
right hand behind him in a gesture that
the reporter had seen many times in his
exciting career
He waved to them gaily, however, and
the men relaxed. "Aw. it's only a hunter. :,
erunted the driver loud enough for Grants
quick ears to hear, and the wagon came
on again and passed. the three watching
him in suspicious silence. Grant turned
and saw another man on horseback some
distance ahead, who waved urgently to
the cart to hurry UP.
Now, what the Sam Hin d'you make of
that7' he asked himself and decided to in
vestisate.
The wagon soon disappeared around a
bend in the road, and the reporter follow
ed. In few minutes he came to a point
where the wagon had turned Off through
through the shrubbery. he saw three

been built for cottage and abandoned.
The men were already at work unloading
several heavy tanks from the cart and
rolling them down through an open cellar
door, The leader. who was dressed much
more neatly than the others Grant had
noted. was not to be seen.
A moment later he emerged from the
house and remounted his horse. The men

smart trot down a family marked road
way towards the sea shore. a mile or so
away.
At the same moment Grant became
aware of curious, rhythmic sort of cross
between crackle and roar. He puzzled
over Its vague familiarity for moment,
and then looked up with start to observe
a set of wireless antennae strung from
ffagstaff on the roof of the house to the
cross arm Of telegraph pole in front.
With quick catch of the breath he I'M
derstood. and after listening for a moment
Nor an outgoing wireless message is per-
fectly audible for some distance around
the sending station he hid gun and game
bag and hurried toward the house. The
invisible operator had not seen fit to use
code.
After trying door and windows In vain
Grant made quick survey and saw sec
oud story window that was open. Some
vines. the clapboarding. a window ledge
and rain water pipe proved to be a suf-
ficient ladder. and in few moments the
reporter had pulled himself inside the
house
He listened and heard the roar Of the
sparks overhead. Cautiously he assembled
the stairs and pushed open door. Before
him, seated at the apparatus. was a pow

wireless head piece on. listening for an
answer to his message.

and hurried downstairs. He must get TO

Robbers Cache North OF Sawyer.
Friday night the mercantile store
of Barney Taylor at Swink was en-
tered and the entire stock of goods
removed and hauled away. No money
was found by the thieves.
Sheriff Lotion and the assistant
county attorney followed trail to
a cache near the home of Tom Grif-
fin north of Sawyer. Here was found
a varied stock of mercantile goods.
A large part of Mr.. Taylor's stock
was found and identified. G. b. Hunt,
a merchant of Spencerville whose
store was robbed five weeks ago, was
called and identified some OF the
cached goods as his. Also Mr. Fuller,
a merchant at Virgil came and found
some goods of his that were stolen
from his store several weeks ago
After looking it all over, Mr.. Taylor
found that there were a few articles
in the hiding place that had been
stolen from his store al previous
robbery one month ago. Considerable
other articles were found N the Grif
fifth house, for which no identified
ton has yet been made.
Griffith was placed under arrest
and brought to Jail in Hugo, where
he now lodges. He refuses TO make

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast

why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull
and unstrung: some days really in
capacitated by illness.
If we all would practice inside
bathing, what a gratifying change
would take place. Instead of thou
sands of half-sick, notwithstanding
souls with pasty muddy compilations
we should see crowds of happy, heal
thy, rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
The reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all
the waste which it aCCumulates under
our present mode of living. For cv-
c,y ounce of food aud drink taken
into the system, neatly m ounce -
waste material must =" carri Il out
else it ferments and forms ptJr'ine-
like poisons which are absorbed into
the blood.

the inside organs of the previous

waste and body toxins. Men ara
women, whether sicK 1r well, are ad-
yised to drink each corning, before

ach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation. bilious attacks

less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
} anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system.

MARIETTA MONITOR.
Buns Must Leave or Work.

City Marshal Ernest Wood, in talk
ine to a Monitor man few days
ago, stated that he and Mayor Gra-
ham had started campaign to rid
the city of all buns and loafers.
While the weather was so bad the
city officials were very lenient on
that class, but since the weather has
cleared up, all of this sclass must
either work or clear out. The city
marshal said that every loafer or bum
who did not have some visible means
of support was going to be arrested
for vagrancy and put 10 work on the
streets, and if they still continue TO
loaf around, they would be given
another dose of the same medicine.
There are some streets in Marietta
which need working badly, and Street
Commissioner Burnett can use this
class Of laborers to good advantage.
