It's an i'll word that does no one good--to paraphrase an ancient say ing-and naughty expressions evoked we suppose. by wrath or surprise have done their bit toward maintain ing the Fresh Air camp at Burling- ton. Witness today check from the profanity box of a certain local fac tory, a check for three dollars which the Fresh Air fund of the Herald re- ceived. We cannot say how many lit- tie wanderings from the path of pro- per words made up the sum total of three dollars. we do not know how from the cussee-but we do know that those cusses are going to do more good than many another cuss. We thank the little cuss box for it's well sustained effort to do good, by check ing cusses and by needing well the needs of the children of the city when cusses have been collected for. The factory at which the cuss box was To- cated did not wish to have it's name mentioned in the Herald. Suppose it did not want the public to know how ..'cussed bad" it was, or how cussed good--depends on how you look at it.
