Good Manners Make for Comfort.

Good manners are mainly system In
society. In large sense the whole
human race is society. We count It
good practice to keep to the right, and
those who keep to the left are guilty
of bad manners as well as bad
practice. Good manners is good sys-
tenn In behavior. System Is always
labor saving, and we need to look to
our manners in this modern day for
that reason.

Most everybody is either prepared to suggest a cure for the light situation, or is listening with open ears for some one to announce that the remedy has been found. There are probably ways to patch up for the present emergency good until the next crisis. Most of the experts, and we are all experts, say that the remedy is new. plant, and make it steam please Companies in the hands of a receivership are not supposed to have surplus for exten- sive rebuilding, though they have been known to Sell to those who did have. Of course the town may buy it, but that would take time and the bond market just now is not what it might be, so we are told. In case the light company machinery continues to be obstreperous some local steam plant might be able to pull the load, but the expense of :. making the change should properly fall upon the light company. At any rate the burden of their failure, or hard luck. should not be made to fall upon the consumers who already believe that they are paying good price for even a perfect service.

FARM WORK UNDER WAY
Farmers Begin New Years Work With
 Laudable Fest.

Hope, Feb. 9.-Farmers of Hemp stead county have begun preparations for another crop with astonishing zest and many have their land broken and are waiting for the planting season to roll round. They realize that there is good living in the soil and that if they grow their own living at home they are not dependent upon market quotations. The farmers have. adopt ed the slogan of "cow, a SOW ana : hen" and expect to be able to bring something with them to sell when they come to town during the spring and summer months. Likewise plans are being made for enlarging the gardens to give vegetables enough to put away for use during the winter months.

There are increasing reports from oyer the county indicating that much of the land that seemed must lay idle this year is now being sown to oats, This idle land that we hear of is land that has heretofore been rented to share croppers. Many. of the land lords are not able this year to furnish the renter, though there is no lack of those who would work the land, Un- der these circumstances it is the wise thing to dc, SOW the land and get feed crop at a minimum of labor and ex- pensc. It is believed that in the aver age community of small farms practi- cally all of the land will be cultivated. Sewing the land to grain or other hay crops is good thing under any cir cumssances. The land needs it,. and the crop is not an improbable one,
