Dear Editor: AN up here at

leave the hotel only when we go
out to the Institute. There were
10 of us from Union county; we
we're given some banquet by the
Baptist ladies in Elk Point the
night before we left, and the Red

It's pretty hard to attend to

For weak kidneys. Here is con.

"A PLENTY MORE
LIKE EN-, WHERE
YOU'RE A-GOIN

The wise man Solomon remarked
long time ago that if man is to
have friends, he must show himself
friendly; and it might be said now
that if man is himself good neigh
Dor, he is mighty likely to have good
neighbors-as a rule.
On this point we recently ran across
an interesting farm story, fresh from
the prairies of the West. The moral
is one that cannot be too often en-
phasized; and this is the story as the
American Cooperative Journal gives
it:
They told of an old grandma who
was sitting in front of her home,
knitting in the sunshine, when an
immigrant with covered wagon drew
up his team and gave them rest and
drink
FHowdy? spoke up grandma.
Where be you a'goin'?'
"'To Nebraska, Grandma
"'And where be you from?'
" From back in Indiana state
"'Wall, l s'pose you jest hated to
leave the old home and neighbors?'
again asked grandma.
ono! Deed we did not not; we
had the peskiest, meanest neighbors ;
we was glad to get shed of 'em.'
eyes, but you'll find plenty more
just like 'em where you're a-goin'.
And then grandma went on knitting.
ga few days later another immi-
grant wagon with it's family drew up
at the water trough, And again
grandma asked the usual questions
as to where they were going and
where they were from.
"But this time the answer to the
question of whether they did not hate
to break up old home ties was diff
ferent.
Indeed, we did hate to leave,
Grandma. 1t nearly broke our
hearts. We had the best neighbors
that anyone ever had
"'Yes,' consoled grandma, 4 know
how It's, but you'll find plenty more
just like 'em where you're a-goin'"

It was found that in Washington City

problem of delivery reforms the hard
