THE RIGHT THING
At the
RIGHT TIME
THE HARSH VOICE

HARSH voices are usually strained
- voices, for very few persons
know how to raise their voices above
! certain pitch without straining them.
50, II you would keep from having
that harsh voice that is now no less
than It was IN our grandmothers' days
frequently looked upon as sign Of
bad breeding and lack Of culture, see
that you do not raise your voice above
. certain conversational pitch, that is
unless you know how to manage it.
It Is almost invariably true that the
children who are brought up in the
congested city tenement sections,
where their only playground is the
street and where they must shout and
call above the deafening clatter Of the
traflc, grow up to have voices cracked
or harsh. This can be helped, doubt.
less, IL these children are reminded to
modulate their voices.
But sometimes 1t Is in the country
where an overload voice is cultivated

neighbors to think OF, acquires the
habit Of calling, yelling. in fact, at hel
children In a way that the city woman
would not think Of doing. She calls
upstairs and down, and she calls out
doors and In. And too often It hap
pens that when she Is In more confined
quarters she goes on with her high
pitched voice just the same. And hel
children are quite apt to pitch thei
voices In tune with hers
Now remember that while 1t Is nee
essary always to speak loud enougl
to be heard easily. you should neve
speak any louder than is necessary t
make your voice reach all your aud

IN this room don't speak loud enougl

Beautifying some new Day

State Land Board
Buying School Bonds

A large percentage Of the 81,
900. 900 permanent fund of the
state schools, held under control
of the State Board of Land Com
missioners, is invested in bonds
Of the various school districts of
the state. These bonds for the
most part, have been purchased
direct from the districts.
Recently an unusual amount of
these bonds have been redeemed
and the State Board of Land
Commissioners is now placing
this money with school districts
in the purchase of their bonds,
an investment that is considered
the very safest possible to make,
not excepting United States
Government securities.

boys of the country to get their
outlaws rounded up and prepare
to take home some of the fancy
premiums that will be offered.
It is a known fact that Chey-
enne county has paid more for
premiums in years gone by on
agricultural exhibits than they
have at the state fair. which
should encourage our rural neigh
bors to bring in the best they
have and try to pull down the
big money offered. It not only
advertises your county, but it ad-
vertises your farm and shows
what can be done out there and
it sets the people thinking who
visit the agricultural halls of this
county. We would suggest that
you combine your work with the
manager of the fair in selecting
your exhibits. help him and he'll
help you. that's the way to make
this the best fair we have had in
years. Everybody boost, we
know your pretty busy right now
but you can help a little at that.

Lincoln county will begin the
construction of eleven new bridg.
es now in a very short time which
will set the county back $40, 900.
The contract with the county
calls that the bridges are to
be completed by November 1st.
Kiowa county on the south of us
should soak in a little of this
road improvement business. A
little bridge across a creek a
couple of miles south of the
Cheyenne county line was wash
ed out several weeks ago and has
left a very dangerous place for
the hundreds of tourists that are
travelling the road to fall off into
and kill or badly injure someone.
We suppose the cost of a life will
repair this bridge. as up to this
time nothing has been done to
repair it.
