The Weston Leader was indirect
~ responsible for the normal school
plant in Weston. Had there been
no newspaper here Weston would
never have gotten the plant. AZ
ter the appropriation was made II
would have been forfeited but for
the personal work of the present
editor of the Leader, who devoted
three weeks of his time and gave
the last dollar he had in the bank TO
a school site fund. Weston lost the
Normal AT last. to b. sure, but the
plant remains and is being used 10
good advantage by the school dis
trict. We're this not ~ the district
would be compelled to float more
bonds and rebuild its own school
plant, which is wholly inadequate.
The Leader is therefore responsible
for substantial saving to every tax
payer in the Weston district. viii
these taxpayers show their appre-
ciation now by subscribing and pay
ing in advance for more than one
copy of the Leader? Although pay
ing war prices for everything it
uses, it is still issued at the same
old price. and only asks for little
more loyal support. Come across,
boys, if gratitude is not a stranger
to you.

According to the North American
Review the death toll exacted by
modern warfare is immeasurably
smaller than ever before in history
and has decreased steadily since
the fighting began. In the recent
battle Of MeSsineS the total number
of men engaged, according 10 Sir
Charles Ross, was 2s0,000 and the
total casualties less than nine per-
cent, while the total fatalities were
less than one in seven of the total

Some day the country editor may
cease to smile and say that he likes
il if local merchants continue to get
their envelopes printed by the gov

instrument that reached the height
of its popularity in the time If Ne

with the Roman empire. We refer
TO the rubber stamp; but for those
who still use it We indulge feel
ing more akin TO pity than to anger.
Rubber stamps had their earliest
vogue in the Garden of Eden,
where they were used for printing
laundry marks Oh the fig leaves.
They are not now strictly Eau fait"
in the printing Of stationery,
although yet having their uses.

to 1860 A. D. In those "a centuries
the world achieved 5000 treaties, and
we are told that each Of them on the
average lasted little longer than two
years. It is as true now as 1t was
1900 years before the Christian era
that treaties are only kept when there
is an honest intention among all par
ties Of keeping them.
