What Is News

Most people have a friendly feel
ing toward the home paper and
would be glad to help out with news
items but many of them don't know
what is news, they say they can never
think of anything that is worth print
ing. Here is a list that will help
you. Correspondents are asked to
give it special attention and we will
be glad to have all our readers keep
it in mind.
/. Write on one side of the sheet in
a clear legible hand taking partic-
ular pains to write proper names
plainly, leaving out no words, and
numbering the pages.
2. Write the communications in
short paragraphs, giving the news
i'm as few words as possible and leav-
ing out all words and sentences un.
necessary to a tense expression Of
facts, and do not put in anything
simply to "fill up" or lengthen out
the communication. A short letter
full of news, is much better than a
long one made up of superfluities.
3. The following facts are gener,
ally desired: f&@
All births, marriages and deaths,
when and where they occurred, Civ
ing full names of parties.
Removals into or departures from
the neighborhood or any of your CT
tizens, and the names of such as con-
template removing to or from your
neighborhood.
We want a special correspondent in
every school district in this vicinity
IL your neighborhood is not represent
ed and you know of anyone who will
furnish us the news, please advise US
at once and we will make necessary
arrangements.

In Memory
His sufferings now are all ended,
His work here on earth is well done,
He quietly laid down his burden,
And has gone to- his rest in the tomb.
He will sleep 'tifthe glorious morn
ing,
When the graves their treasures UNI
fold,
Then he'll come forth to greet his
loved ones,
And with them walk the streets of
pure gold.
Dear friends though your home may
be lonely,
And your pathway may seem dark
and drear,
Yet Jesus walks ever beside you, :.
And your sad hearts will comfort and
cheer.

With returns from about 40 per cent
Of the vote in Nebraska, w. j. Bryan
is running third for delegate at large
to the national democratic convention
at San Francisco. First returns, which
were mostly from Omaha showed Bry-
an running seventh. Should Bryan 8
percentage of gain hold up from the
balance of the state, he will lead the
ticket. At this time, two Hitchcock
delegates and two Bryan delegates are
high. The two lowest delegates are
Hitchcock men. Four delegates are to
be elected. Senator Hitchcock entered
the Nebraska preference primaries for.
the presidency and is successful. Bryan
declared should he be elected a dele
gate, he would refuse to vote for the
senator. The issues were rather mixed,
Bryan standing for a ratification of the
treaty ON the best terms possible
at this time, and for dry plank in the
national democratic PLATFORM, Senator
Hitchcock stood on opposite ground on
the wet question, favoring light beer
and wines. Bryan will be power at
San Francisco. In the Republican
primaries, Johnson has a big lead over
Wood and Pershing.
