"A Little BY the Best of Men,
MINOR MUSINGS

II n blbllO FolHNh
MINOR MUSINGS
(By Wilbur Il. Sutton
Hard work may OF may not
make much money, but il always
makes much character.
Also, the love Of money is the
root Of much industry.
You never saw man with Il
smile on his lips beating n rug
or paying taxes.
It's n pretty safe guess when n
business man doesn't advertise,
he has something he's ashamed
to advertise.
The time to get out of the bus
mess you re in is when the clock
becomes as important as the pay
envelope.
The mule has kick that is
vicious, and moonShine has one
that is worse, but the hometown
knocker carries the biggest wal
lop Of them all.
A grasshopper jumps without
knowing where he is going to
alight. A good many business
failures are caused the same way.
After reading in the news
papers the stories Of the crimes
committed in the name of love,
we think that love doesn't make
the world go round, but makes
it go crazy.
After a man has been married
a few weeks he realizes that a
great cook is rather to be chosen
than great dancing ability.
All women do not shoot their
husbands and men friends or you
wouldn't see so many ablc-bodied
men hanging around the pool
rooms.
Even when you can teach an
old dog a new trick, he's still an
old dog.
When you find a beautiful
murdcress who also is beautiful
actress, a beautiful bathing girl
and the beautiful third in a
beautiful love triangle what a
beautiful news combination she
makes!
A man who is henpccked tries
to conceal it, but a woman who
is rooster peckcd, tells the world.
The automobile gets people out
doors and into hospitals.
The pace never gets so hot that
there isn't somebody that could
make it hotter.
Some men seem born to give
away good advice that they find
impossible to use upon them
selves.
"What man has done, man can
do - and woman can undo.
A generous man will always
have plenty of friends-mtil he
goes broke.
Poverty is no disgrace, but it's
hard to convince your creditors
that it isn't.
The road to success always lies
across the hills Of sacrifice.
1t makes a man feel pretty
small to think that if he We're to
die today one of the chief wor-
ries of the rest of the force to-
morrow would be how much they
would be expected to contribute
for flowers without appearing
cheap.
A man begins dimly to realize
that he is married on the first Of
A.

When a man gives you advice
"for your own good" he means
that it is for his owngood to get

WHO HELPS BUILD THE TOWN.

Yesterday we cited the non-sup-
porters of the town-those who make
an effort to receive patronage, but
give not thought nor a penny for
the town or community's welfare.
Every citizen should make it his
duty to patronize the home institu-
ton that pays taxes, gives his mite
and his time to the home commu-
nifty, end the quicker this is done,
the sooner the benefits will come to
the community.
Another thing that is an injustice
is the habit Of number Of people
who move to town from outside the
county for school purposes and since
they rent the residence, they pay
no real estate taxes, and when the
assessor calls to gather the personal
property, the information is given
that the parties desire to claim the
exemption in Kansas, and its seldom
that the owner will permit the value
of the personal effects to exceed the
exemption.
Then, who pays for the expenses
of the town schools? Liberal has
gained many residents who came for
for school purposes and later bought
property, but the burden Of the
school attendance from outlying ter
ritory has not aided materially in
the maintenance of the schools or
the municipality.

Eea Dance Once Popular in Europe.
The egg dance, now confined chiefly
to Spain, among the people of valen-

England, Scotland, Holland and other
parts Of Europe. A number of eggs
were arranged In a prescribed form
upon the dancing floor, and among
them a blind-folded dancer moved us
