PROUD OF "REMINDER BOOK"
Mr., Blinklnton Claims That BY Ito Aid
He Has Been Saved Much
Time and Worry.

"What ! used to do when put any.
thing away" said Mr.. Blinkinton, twas
to bestow 1t with great care In some
place where I would know Just where
to'find 1t. and then I would forget It
completely. More than once when
have wanted something that I had thus
carefully put away l have had to tear
the house apart to find II. M
$50 1t was until evolved my Things
Put Away book which has proved to
be great help and comfort.
"Now when put anything away I
first enter 1t In that book, which Is, Of
course, indexed, so that I won't have to
look through long list Of things when
/ want to find anything.
"Once soon after started the book
I put that away somewhere very care
fully and then forgot where had put
1t and had a terrible time looking 1t
up; but since then / have kept It In a
spot where 1t can't fail to come under
my eye daily; and 1t works like a
charm.
Really l should say that for any
body who like myself is apt to forget
things Things Put Away book would
be Indispensable"

D. H. BURTON.

We are pleased to know that Ne
braska, not only contemplates, but
is actually practicing consolidation
1t seems that consolation then is
approved. but the trouble is We have
not gone far enough
We are glad that Mr.. Burton has
suggested a date for discussion OF
school matters. We would suggest
that those from the remote parts Of
the district will call for a meeting
at that or any other time that they
feel would be agreeable to the most
of the school patrons.
Mr. Burton has probably been on
our most unfortunate route In the
matter OF truck service. We believe
that with the exception OF that route
and one other, the attendance of the
pupils and their record for punctu-
ality will be found to be better than
for the same pupils before consoli-
dation. That has been the record in
previous years; We believe 1t will
hold good for this year
We wish 1t were possible to disa-
buse Mr. Burton Of the idea that the
people OF the town desire or would
even consent to any harm to the
school privileges of the children liv-
ing in the most remote part OF this
district.
The town people want you to
have the school that will give you
the best service
In this connection. Mr.. Taylor who
drives the little Ford truck over a

THISTLE M SCOTCH HISTORY
Various Traditions concernlna lts
Adoption BY the Highland Clans
as Their Emblem.

"The thistle Of Scotland is said to
be the oldest national flower, and ira.
ditlon traces Its adoption to the reign
OF Alexander III and the battle Of
Larga" (when an attacking Dane
stepped upon a thistle and involun.
tarily gave the alarm, whereupon the
Scots drove the invaders out).
Another account of Its adoption Is
Of a very different character" writes
Katherine M. Beals In Flower Lore and
Legend. "About the middle Of the
fifteenth century company Of stern.
faced men met In the council cham
Der Of Edinburgh. and the occasion Of
that meeting was to discuss the ad.
visibility Of substituting the thistle
for the figure Of st. Andrew on the
national banner. The proceedings Of
the council were secret. but soon after
the thistle appeared upon every Scot
tish banner. The national motto might
have been adopted with appropriate
ness on either Of these occasions !:
Memo me impune lacesslt.' The polite
reading Of this Is. NO man attacks
me without being punished but the
more simple translation Of earlier days
was. Touch me who dnres + while the
original is supposed to have been, 'Wha
dare meddle WI meT Another inscrip-
tlon which sometimes accompanies the
Scottish emblem reads: 'Ce que Dleu
garde. est bien garde;' That which
God guards Is well guarded
1.-THE thistle appeared officially for
the first time during the reign Of
James II, who had 1t placed on the
coinage Of the kingdom and adopted
It as his own badge. 1t also appeared
upon the coins In the reigns of James
~, Mary Stuart, James v and James
VI. The thistle merke was a silver
shilling. The thistle dollar was dou-
BILE merke. Each took Its name from
the emblem on It."

HAVE DISCHARGE
PAPERS RECORDED

Provision has been made by the
government to pay to h0norably dis
chaHed soldiers. back pay. or a bo
nus as travelling expenses. We ar
not certain that We have in mind
what the reason Of the payment Is,
but there is money under certain
conditions. To get this money the
soldier must send in his discharge as
originally received. but is advised tc
have a certified copy made and to
keep this for his protection in case
the original is lost in transit through
the mails.
The precaution is wise, for the dis.
charge OF a soldier is a heritage that
will grow more precious as time goef
on, and in case of need to apply for
a pension is OF inestimable value.
Our thoughtful and efficient coun.
ty clerk, Mr.. Littell. has devised Q
record for these discharges, and re-
cords free OF charge all of these dis.
charges sent to him.
He has a large book filed with
these records now and is adding te
the book daily. This record is IN.
dexed. so that the copy OF the dis
charge may be located with the min
imum OF effort, and there for all
time in fire proof vault is preserved
the record of the precious document
We would suggest to every dis
charged soldier and sailor that II
would be wise thing to have the
paper recorded at once and then, af-
ter that precaution, have the original
kept in safety deposit box where the
danger of loss by fire Is eliminated.

"chapeIs" In Printing Offices.

Benjamin Franklin, who was him.
self a printer In early life. gives the
following explanation as to why
"chapels" are found in printing Offices.
He says: "A printing house Is always
a chapel by the workmen. the origin
Of which appears to have been that
printing was first carried on Ia Eng
land In an ancient chapel converted
into printing house. and the title has
been preserved by tradition" OF
course. the reference is to Caxton's
printing press, set up In one Of the
chapels Of Westminster abbey. The
father Of the chapel Is one of the
printers, who usually presides over
any meetings that may be held.

How to Read, y

At best the printed words Of an au-
thor represent but a poor fraction Of
what is In his thought and feeling or
what he would express II he could.
Therefore, It is well to follow Ruskin's
advice on "readlng for the thought" |"
and "get into the habit Of looking In
tensely at words and assure yourself
Of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay. letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words. but the act Of concentration
fertilises and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such sym
pathy with the idea expressed and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
b. Towne in No~i''us.

SCHOOL PROBLEMS
FRANKLY DISCUSSED
BY D. H. Burton

II seems to me that this is a good
time for discussion OF school matters,
and as | was interested in the letter
on school improvements by II. H.
Burton and the reply by Mr.. Graves
in recent issue OF The Enterprise, |
will add few remarks; as my views

but not tup) as to advanced school
conditions. which we would hardly
expect in a community as new as
this.
We note the editor says he Is
''gratified even il surprised to learn
that Nebraska has Joined in the pro-
cession end is considering redistrict-
ing and c.. solidating small distrcts"
Nebraska is not only considering
the consolidating Of districts for the
purpose Of bringing high school in
reach Of country pupils, but 1t had
two years ago twenty-eight rural
high schools.
Several years ago, a Mr.. Teed In
the employ Of the state. made a tour
of northern Iowa and parts of Ohio
investigating consolidated schools
and shortly after this Nebraska
launched out in the field of consoli-
dated schools. But these twenty
eight schools had an average area
of less than thirty square miles or
5h by 5k miles square and with
roads much better worked than those
in the Raymer dist And | will say
here that most of the formost men
In this movement in Nebraska were
farmers such as j. o. Swoyer of Hum
bolt, W. H. Campbell, of Central CT
ty and ]. d. Ream OF Broken Bow
The latter is now chairman OF the
rural school commission of Nebras-
ka.
Two OF those men told me when
asked that four and one half or six
oiles square was as large as practi-
cal and then friction usually occurred
when a town OF such size as to con-
troll the election Of board was in
cluded. In such cases the selfish in
terests OF the town were satisfied at
the expense OF those living at the
extreme parts OF the district. While
We agree with Mr. Graves that we
have as whole fine class of peo-
pie here. they are not very different
from those In Nebraska as | think
something like threefourths of the
people around Raymer are from that
state.
And we don't think 1t adds much
to mans achievements to be in
strumental in launching truck sys-
tenn in so large district as this
when the people in each end of the
district comprising nearly half OF
the territory are dissatisfied and
most of them say disgusted with the
conditions and praying for even the

Cost Of Producing Livestock

Actual cost OF producing livestock
Is hard to figure. It is partly be-
cause OF this that the offer is being
made to cooperate with farmers In
determining cost Of producing pork.
But the relative cost Of producing
livestock is easy to figure, and for
the man who wants to make more
money by more efficient methods. the
relative cost is as good or better than
actual cost.
The relative costs Of hogs. cattle,
and poultry on a Colorado. farm are

cash spent, interest on capital invest
ed, and value Of feed fed, except feed
for poultry.
Receipts include actual cash re.
ceived from sales. A decrease In In
