before. 1t enables the publisher to
pass for a thoughtful student OF
many things, merely by opening his
mail and taking the wisdom out OF
the envelope.
The publisher who buys his edi-
torials does not do any harm; he is
not plagiarizing; he merely acknowl-
edges that he cannot write, and that
is no disgrace. The funny part of
this situation at Twin Falls lies in
the fact that the Springfield Repub-
lican might turn out to be one of the
papers that is buying ready-made
editorials and using them at about
the same time as the fellow at Twin
Falls, who poses as an original
writer. In that case the other Twin
Falls editor accusing him of steal
ing his editorials, might find that
neither editor had written them
and that both had bought them and
both were entitled to the right to
pass them off as their own.
A man wears a wig; a woman
wears a rat and paper carries an
editorial all supposed to be their
very own, and if they are not,
wouldn't you rather look at the wig
or the rat than the bald head, or
read a patent editorial rather than
none at all!

The trouble with good many of
us is that we go from one extreme to
another. We need a restraining
companion at times to keep us from
it. If we are heartsore this spring
over past experiences, try to turn it
into a laugh while we work and
jolly ourselves by saying, Good
enough for me. l will learn by this,
and bury the heartache in better
effort"
A lot of us are going to slip out
and do some cleaning of irrigating
bitches very early this spring while
the fields are drying. A lot of us
may have the backache in the garden
this spring and feel out of place in
doing that kind of work, but we can
prove it by our friends that it is good
enough for us. Then later in spring
and summer the tender things that
get on the table from the garden will
make us wonder why we steered shy
of those bachaches so long, consider
ing how good the garden truck is
With the opening of spring, take
heart again. You have kicked your
self long enough. While the fields
are drying, mend the tools and i'm
plements and get ready to operate
them at high gear when the weather
is right. You may have lost some
things. You may have lost too
much, but don't lose your courage
nor your. appetite. Nurse them as
best you can and that will help to
win back all the rest.
