THE RAGGEpY EpIToR Mas

Thy Lawrence ID. Newberry, of the
Creston Journal, with apologies
to James Whitccmb Riley.)
The Editor Man in our home town
Is the funniest guy for miles around.
He works all night, and works all day,
And hustles like heck to get his pay.
His pants are patched and his shoes
are thin,
And his shoulders stoop cause he
works like sin.
Amt he the funniest Editor Man?
The reggedy, raggedy Editor Man.
The Editor Man he works all day,
Two hours for sleep and none for play.
He hustles the news on every hand,
He knocks the trusts and boosts the
band.
He tells how the Jones have goe some
twins,
And how to make jam from potato
skins.
Amt ne the funniest Editor Man?
The raggedy, raggedy Editor Man.
dies,
And who won the prize baking apple
And heralds the fact of each ones
birth,
And praises theirlives when they leave
this earth.
But he daren't tell when you beat your
wife
Or chase her out with carving knife.
Amt he the funniest Editor Man?
The raggedy, raggedy Editor Man.
Jim Hill got married to Widow Brown,
And invited everyone else in town.
Then Jim came around with cheap
cigar
And says you know how swell we are,
So give US write-up good and strong,
And make it at least column long"
And the Editor did, the funny man,
The raggedy, raggedy Editor Man
The Editor Man he done his best,
He lauded the bride and all the rest,
But he didn't know how he had trans
crossed
When he didn't tell just how Jim was
dressed.
But the next day Jim came down the
street,
Saying, Nov amt that heluva sheet. {"
Amt he the funniest Editor Man?
The raggedy, raggedy Editor Man
The Editor Man to Heaven will go
Cause he's had enough hell on this
earth below,
And it wouldn't be a fair thing to do
To roast him on earth and Eternity
too.
The raggedy, raggedy Editor Man
Amt he the funniest Editor Man?
But every night he says prayer
"Oh God, don't make me an Editor

.But Only God Can Make a Tree

Sings the poet in rapturous tribute
to the forest monarch.
Nine thousand trees-noble black
spruce of the north, hoary with their
century of battle with the winds-go
dialy to the pulp mills that New
York's newspapers m ay roar their
messages to the people.
New York is only one of the $4,000
towns where American newspapers
are published.
The newspapers of this country, now
struggling for existanc because of a
paper famine, consume only 20 per
cent of the pulp produced.
As much pulp as newspapers re-
quire goes into paper boxes, cans,
bottles, packing cases, furniture
and endless list.
At the present rate of consumption,
Mr.American reader, you viii be with
out a newspaper in a few years. You
viii have only the pretty package, con-
tanning &c worth of prunes and Ice
worth of paper.
STOP IT! Tell your grocer, drug
gist, butcher, you want less OF jim
cracks and more of food. Food may
be quite as wholesome out of a barrel.
Save the paper If you would save
the press-the only voice Of the peo-
pie!

When We All FIy

One of the greatest~wonders of all
ages is the development of aerial nav
igation.
A few days ago a mail plane, car
rying its pilot and four hundred
pounds of fast mail, travelled the dis
lance from Chicago to New York in
five hours and thirty-one minutes.
By air line the two cities are TAI
miles apart.
From Cleveland to New York the
average rate of speed was Isl miles
an hour.
1t appears now that there is but
one great obstacle to the universal
use of the airplane for passenger and
traffic purposes. That is the certain
ty of instant death in case it becomes
disabled and falls to earth.
But doubtless some science will over
come this obstacle. A means will
eventually be found whereby the air
plane will no longer be heavier than
air, thus rendering it possible to. hold
it suspended between earth and sky.
When that day comes every citizen
of any means will want his plane.
You may even see the successor 20
the editor of this paper step into his
air car, press a button, dart over into
the other end of the county, gather in
the news, and be back in the office
again within an hours time.
There is no limit to the possibilities
of the airplane possibilities.

Savers and Spenders

Can you recall the little incidents of
your young days?
Perhaps you remember some child
who was "close" with his pennies, who
put them in his bank and kept them
there.
That child, even in its tender years,
was imbued with the habit of saving
and cultivating the budding idea of
thrift.
If you can locate that child today
you will probably find man who has
made commercial success of life, who
is financially at ease, even f no
wealthy
The child who saves his pennies in
time becomes the man who accumulat-
es his dollars.
But the one who spends his pennies
as fast as he gets them generally finds
that an after years the habit has fast
ened itself upon him to such an ex-
tent that his life becomes one of end
less spending-always earning money
but never having a surplus dollar.
The greatest financial injury you
can do your child is to encourage it to
go out and spend its few cents.
It marks the beginning of bad
ending.
For it is easier for the leopard to
change its spots than for the spender
to be anything but what he is.

Hopuers Do Damage

Grasshoppers worked many thou
sand dollars worth of damage to grow
ing crops in Wisconsin this year, COW
ering all the northern counties from
Sheboygan to Douglas. The greatest
loss occurred in Door county where
some crops would have been total
loss if it had not been for protective
measures taken. Poisoned bran mash
was used to kill the hoppers.

A REAL MAN


A real man never talks about what
the world owes him, the happiness he
deserves, the chance he ought by right
to have, and all that, All he claims
is the right to live an dplay the man
A real man is Just as honest alone
in the dark, in his own room, as he is
in public
A real man does not want pulls, tips
and favors. He wants work and hon
est pay.
A real man is loyal to his friend and
guards his reputation as his own.
A real man is dependable. His sim
pie word is as good as his Bible oath
A real man does a little more than
he promises.
A real man does not want some
thing for nothing, so the get rich quick
people cannot use him.
A real man honors a woman, any
woman. He cannot hurt woman
physically or morally. He sticks to
his wife. He can be loyal even if love
is impossible.
A real man minds his own business.
He does not Judge other people.
A real man always has excuses for
others, never for himself He is pa
tient and charitable to them, to him
self is strict.
A real man is glad to live and not
afraid to Gle.
A real man never hunts danger and
never lodges It when he ought to meet
it.
A real mans love is like dogs, and
that's saying great deal.
A real maxwell, he is real man,
the finest, best, noblest, most refresh
ing thing to find onall the green earth,
unless it be a real woman.
Are you real man ?-.Anon.
