Congress should veto the anti
quated custom Of the free distribu-
ton of seeds. It is simply steal
that costs the country $150,OOO per
annum and is productive Of no good,
and is not wanted except by senator's
and congressman who pose as givers
at the public expense.

Do you know that there are more
people who Sponge" on a newspaper
than there are people who sponge"
on their relatives? When a man
comes into the world he receives a
free lad" and when he dies his bad
debts are overlooked by the charit-
able editor. All during his life he
asks and receives favors from the
newspapers. If they speak well of
him the flattering notice is received
in silence. If his acts are criticized,
he talks of a damage suit, He de-
sires favorable mention and he desires
it often. In fact, some men have
an idea that a newspaper is run ex-
pressly for the purpose of keeping
them before the public, and that, too,
without money and without price.

1t is the wish of every patriotic
parent that his child shall stand in
the front ranks of the business world.
To get these results the teacher, the
parent and the child must work to-
gether. Open mutiny with the school
means hindrance to the child who at
tains this unity. If your child is not
doing we'll in school it is your duty
to see the teacher and help her to
devise plans that will remedy the
evil. Don't pour our your wrath
against the teacher at the supper
table in the presence of the children.
1t only means that your children will
reap what you sow for them. They
will have no confidence in the teacher,
cause trouble in the school and lose
interest in learning.

An editor sat in his easy chair,
with troubled look and disheveled
hair An irate subscriber was stand
ing by, with awful look and blood in
his eye. The subscriber meant the
writer to thrash, his optics to bruise,
his nose to mash. He would wipe
the earth with the editor bold, for
telling facts he shouldn't have told.
The battle was brief, the carnage
great, and the subscriber found out
his mistake, ah-too late. He re-

dead. Most of them have had a sup

the supply has been exhausted 1t Is a
difficult matter to buy any at the cas-

places. One undertaken dispatched an
auto truck to New York at 5 o'clock
in the morning a few days ago and all
that he could secure was three of the
high-priced caskets n two or three
shells of Baskets which he had to paint
and fix up himself.

going to the various cemeteries. At
these places the grave diggers are
