SMEARED WITH YELLOW PAINT

Despite the fact that the City Mar
shall had engaged number of de-
puties to help him keep order We'd
nesday night. Halloween. the citizens
expected that q number OF pranks
would be pulled. and they were not
disappointed. for evidences Of the
Halloweeners' were visible ON all sides
Thursday morning. However. for the
most part. only harmless pranks were
pulled on.
But indignant ordinations we're
heard on all sides. when the business
men saw what had been done to the
front OF the Haxtun Herald ONCE.
The doors. the windows and practical.
ly the entire front had been besmear-
ed with rich yellow paint. and the en-
trance to our office certainly did not
make a very pleasant appearance.
II is absolutely certain. that this
outrage was inspired and carried out
by the element which the present
editor has been lighting the boot
leggers and gamblers. They have
been laying" for US. they have tried
TO intlmidate US, they have threaten.
cd us they have done everything bit
commit act OF violence and thus
under cover OF Halloween they have
tried to pour out their venom ON
us. This was no Halloween prank.
though II was committed on the night
when young people are wont TO have
their fun. II was vicious act, an
open challenge against the editor.
and not any concerted action against
the farmers who own aud publish the
Haxtun Herald-IIaxtun Herald.

as owing to sickness quite a number
of the pupils were unable to make a
perfect attendance. but there are also
some cases that require the services
of truant officer.
1t would seem that there is an un.
usual amount of tardiness and the
records show that in most cases the
tardiness can be traced to few fam

at the Afternoon session.
We urge upon the parents that they

MINING BELT ITEMS

Pete Welsh, w. J. Hillary, Phil Nc
CURE and James Neenan have struck
a big run Of lead on the w. J. Hillary
farm. The mining right, however, is
owned by the Mineral Point Zinz Co.
The lead makes at about 40 feet and is
located in a lead country Prospects
for big run are very bright. During
the past week they have been taking
out from 1000 to 1000 pounds daily.
The men connected with this proper
ty are old time lead prospectors and
have practically devoted their whole
life to mining. We hope this mine
will make them rich. They are en-
titled to it.-Benton Advocate.
John Rodham, j. Nc suitty, Morris
and John Welsh, have formed a min
ing company and are prospecting on
the Chas. Harry farm northeast Of
town. They have just sunk shaft to
depth of 80 feet and out of a three
foot opening raise over 1000 pounds
of lead ore in a short time. There is
lead in sight on all sides Of the shaft
and the extent and run of the ore
body cannot yet be determined, but it
looks like a bonanza. The ore IS
above the water level, and is probably
a continuation of the S. & ]. range

Flashes
"Life is short-TelI the TRUTH
Building without a Foundation.

Some men build with an insincerc
foundation. Others have no founda-
ton at all. Still others, in building a
career, work for years erecting a sub
stantial foundation.
Why should the smile of a building
be used in comment upon the effect Of
incorrect principles in human life?
Because the analogy is SO striking.
There is a parable about man WHO
built his house upon the sands. 1t
stood bright and beautiful until the
storms came. The foundations crum-
bled and the structure collapsed.
But the parable relates also Of the
man who builded upon the rock. The
winds and rain beat against it, but
prevailed not. The house built upon
the rock emerged from the storm I'M
Scathed.
People laugh at this old-fashioned
philosophy of life until the day comes
when character is put to a test.
Then they are glad to admit the eter-
nal truth of it.
If we were to deliver an graduation
address to a group of young people
we would read the parable quoted
from to them.
