And there's thin wives and fat wives
but I guess wives is like automobiles
every time you get a new one you
try a new make.
Wives have many curious peculiari-
ties. One of them is that they have
got noses that can smell things as
far as hound dog. When my papa
has had drink my mama can smell it
before he gets within block of the
house. Also wives is like cats, and
they never sleep, and no matter how
easy you tiptoe in you always wake
them up.
Wives is very noble creatures, and
they feel it their sacred duty to tell
their husbands about their faults, and
what poor miserable worms of dust
they are if they did not have wives
Wives save their husbands great
deal of trouble by spending their mon
ey for them. A man who has a wife
never has to worry about the danger
of banks breaking.
When a mans wife dies he has no.
body to quarrel with, and that makes
| him SO lonesome that he runs right
off and gets married again.-State

friend Of every citizen; it knows
everybody. It praises the good, cen
sors the evil, and stands four-square
for the uplift and betterment of the
community.
It greets the newest infant and re-
joices with the happy parents, rings
the wedding chimes and tolls the
knell Of the departed. It is joyous
with the happy and sad with the sor-
rowful.
It bears an intimate message in
every issue to those who have remov-
ed from the old home; and conveys
news to the homefolk from those who
are away.
And withal it is never scandal
monger. With fine discrimination it
differentiates news from gossip; it ex-
ploits the achievement Of men and
covers with silence their mistakes.
It is the truest of friends, for it
never fails to call attention to de-
feet, even at home and by holding up
the advantages of necessary improve
ments it encourages development and
progress.
If a town were to check up it's as
sets, chief among them would be its
newspapers. 1t is the one valuable
common profession. No matter who
owns the stock of the company that
publishes it or who sits in the editorial
chair, the newspaper belongs to the
people and in a very real sense, q
town and It's people may accurately
be judged by the kinds and quality OF
the paper that is sent forth. If it is q
live, pushing, forward-l looking pub.
LEGATION, the town lives and moves
forward. If it is spineless and with.
| out purpose except to sell subscrip-
tiQns and advertising space, not much
can be hoped for in the way of com
munity progress.
"What can a newspaper do for ;
town 2" It can do more than any ont
single agency to insure unity and ad
vancement. With it in thriving con
dition, every industrial, social ant
moral movement is assured of effec
tive leadership, which makes for &C
complishment; without it town il
silent and dead, for silence, however
golden is a sign Of death.

Boss the Habit.

Youth bosses the habit; habit bosses
age. A habit is simply an unconscious
or automatic act, done without
thought. Habit rules us all after ba-
byhood, habits are like kittens when
young, funny and frolicsome; they
grow, then they use their sharp teeth
and out of velvet paws protrude sharp
claws. Watch the force of habit, keep
it under control.
Thrift is a habit, so is reckless
spending; mean living is habit, so is
a full joyful life; spending less than
one earns is a habit, so is squander-
ing money beyond ones means. Which
is better worth cultivating?
Thrift people are usually contentec
people; miserly people are miserable
those who produce more than they
consume are climbers; knowledge thai
one is on the upgrade fills the climber
with courage, ambition, good cheer ane
animation. Thrift makes man fee
that he is all right with himself ane
he who is right with himself is right
with all the world besides.

Protecting Scenery.

Massachusetts, has shown the way
for states that develop public spirit
enoubh to protect their scenic spots
from dissertation by billboards, as they
all ought to do.
Under a recent law, made possible
by constitutional amendment, the
state department of public works has
issued a set of rules governing this
business which have the force of law.
Under these rules, nobody can en-
gage in outdoor advertising without
first taking out license.
No billboards or signs can be located
within the bounds of any highway, or
within three hundred feet of any park
parkway playground state recreation
or public building.
No billboard or sign can be placed on
any rock or tree, or upon any fence or
pole bordering any public highway.
The state reserves the right to pass
on all matters displayed upon outdoor
signs, and to require the removal of

What Can a Newspaper
Do. for a Town?

(From Building Trade with Farmers)
"What can a newspaper do for a
town." What can it not do? What
does it not do?
There is not a worthy project con-
templated or set afoot but the news
paper espouses and champions the
cause.
1t is the merchants channel of COM
munication with his patrons; and it
is equally the buyers market place.
The honesty of present day advertis-
ing commends itself to the public and
more and more the space of the home
paper is being demanded for legiti-
mate advertising purposes. The time
is coming whenthe necessity of bring
ing pressure on some business man to
get advertising will give way to a
seeking for space by honest advertis-
ers as the most available means of
reaching the public and the cheapest.
The newspaper is Argus-eyed; it
sees everything; records that which is
worthy of recordinf, and the edi-
torial sanctum is often the safe re-
pository and final resting place Of
many sordid and unworthy story
that never is permitted publication.
The newspaper is the intimate

A BOYS ESSAY
ON WIVES

A wife is one of the most useful of
all the domestic animals. She sews,
cooks and minds the baby and does
the shopping and marketing and en-
tertains the company. But she does
not have to be paid any money like
a cook, or a nurse.
Women who are not wives have to
work for living. Oh! how thankful
wife ought to be that she does not
have to work.
A wife is also useful to lay things
on. That is why men get them. When
a man doesn't want to do anything he
always says that his wife won't let
him, and when man plays poker and
loses his money he blames his wife's
extravaganza because he is not rich.
There are many different kinds of
wives. There is the First wife, who
works and pinches and crinches to help
her husband get on, and who never
has any nice clothes, and who rides in
a End hand Ford, and there's the Sec
ond wife who has diamonds and Paris
dresses, and limousine that the First
wife saved up to buy for her.

any Objectionable matter.
And this additional rule is the heart
of the whole plan: "No permits shall
be granted for the location and MAIN
tenance of signs near certain highways
in territory which, in the opinion of
the division of highways, is of unusu-
al scenic beauty. Such places will be
designated by the division from time
to time"
All signs now located in violation
of these rules must be removed by
July 1.
In short, Massachusetts will no
longer permit the impudence of bill
boards blemishing it's scenery and af-
fronting the eye of the tourist along
the states highways.
This is an example which Minneso-
ia may well follow in the develop
ment of its new system Of state roads.

1--WE riders OF the circus often wonder
how the ordinary saddle horse endures
his lot as we see him ridden daily in the

not only trained to their work but are
ridden by people also trained in the
handling of the curb and snaffle, where
as so many poor saddle horses are used
under unskilled riders pulling and lug
ging on the curb to raise themselves in
posting at the trot Another thing we
circus riders often wonder at is that so

meet with accidents, go lame or grow
