Men Who Harm A Town.

A periodical known as The Highway
Magazine never printed more truthful ed
itorial than the one below il. which is says
the men who harm town are:
Those who oppose improvements.
Those wlto "knuck" .trangess and who
''knock" the town to strangers.
Those who show hospitality to no one.
Those who hate to see others succeed.
Those who disturb public. spirited men.
Those who oppose every movement which
does not originate with themselves.
Those who oppose everv enterprise that
does not appear to benefit themselves.
Those that enjoy the benefit that comes
from the work of pnblic-spirited, broad
minded men. but who give nothing but
criticism in return.
Ii you find any of those symptoms cropp-
ing out in you, drive them out instanter
with liberal doses of optimism, cheerfulncss
and good will. LEX.

GOVT. DENTIST
VERY BUSY
Children Having Teeth Fixed
This Week
Or. Oamscl Says so per cent Of Child
rem Teeth Needs Attention.

Uncle Sam is net in the least neglectful
when it comes to the health of his wards.
He is determined that their health shall not
be impaired by defective teeth. To carry
out his policy in this regard and not rely
ing on the whins of the parents to have the
teeth of their children keep in good condit-
ion, he has special dentist in the Indian
service, whose duty it is to visit reservations
and make the necessary repairs. This
week he is in our village where he will give
IT,. youngsters the "oRce over,' and de-
cayed molars will be removed where found
too far gone to be filed. He IS making
his headquarters at Ashland aud each day
comes here, having his Office in the Indian
school, where little George or Bessie, or
whatever their names Mapped to be. are
called in turn, aud are obliged to withstand
tie ordeal of having their teeth filled. This
is q good opportunity for. the children to
have their teeth fixed. The congeniality Of
the government official makes it more of
pleasure than thing to be avoided by the
"kids.'' The idea of having dentist
come to fix their teeth is an innovation for
the children, but so far few have taken un-
kindly 70 the idea and have withstood the
supposed unpleasantness like Spartan.
DR.. Damsel says he finds that over so per
cent of the children here need attention.
The general condition on this reservation
however, ase exceptionally good he declares
compared with other places. There are
about 325 Indian children heie and it is
made obligatory on the part OF the parents
of the children to have their teeth attended
10, If not ~ the government dentist, by.
another. DR.. Dnmsel says that his labors
will keep him busy here for sometime.

bet. The proposition was accepted so

designated as the place of the i'm
pending battle. Upon second thought
Mr.. Moye1 concluded that he could
scarcely afford to donate one hundred

in the game for the sport of it, and
is not soliciting side bets. But it does
not propose to be bluffed.

Do you think a salary Of twenty
five dollars a day would tempt you to
work harder or for a longer time :?
This is what you may make by spend
ing from one to five or six days select
ing and caring for your seed corn.
Good seed corn means at least $25
to $50 more money for the average
farm next year: If every corn grower
in this section would select seed corn
carefully it would mean an increase
of $4,000 in the community's wealth.
Selection in the field may develop a
variety that natures well, grows on a
good stock, and yields more grain in
proportion to the total weight.
