No paper can be published with
out home patronage, and every
man is interested in keeping up a
horn* paper. If a railroad or fac
tory is wanted, the newspapers are
expected to work for it. If a pub
lic meeting is wanted for any pur
pose. the newspaper is called upon
for a free notice. The newspapers
must, puff the schools and every
thing else to advance the interest*
of the business men 01 the place,
and then give them a handsome
notice when they pass away. And
yet some of them do nothing to
keep up a home paper.

How To Oct on In the World,
Mosi of our successful men be
gan life without a dollar. They
0
have won success by hard work,
and strict honesty. You do the
same. Here are rules for getting
on in the world.
1. Be honest. Dishonesty sel
dom makes one rich, and when it
does, riches are a curse. There is
no such thing as dishonest success.
2. Work. The world is not
going to pay for nothing. Ninety
per cent of what men call genuis
is only a talent for hard work,
3. Enter into that business or
trade vou like best, and for which
nature seems to have fitted you,
providing it is Honorable,
4. Be independent. Do not
lean on others to do your thinking
or to conquer difficulties.
5 Be conscientious in the dis
charge of every duty. Do your
work thoroughly. No one can
rise who slights his work.
6. Don’t try to begin on top.
Begin at the bottom and you will
be surer of reaching the top, some
time,
7. Trust to nothing but God
and hard work. Inscribe on your
banner : ‘ - Luck is a fool; pluck
is a hero.”
Keep Your Town Alive.
A town is very much like an in
vididual. To be flourishing, it
must have energy and enterprise.
The people in a town should re
member that the individual pros
perity depends to a large extent
upon the character of the place in
which their businesa is located.
Every "public measure should be
liberally supported by all, especi
ally the business men. At the
present day there is as much com
petition between towns as there is
among persons and business enter
prises. A man seeking a location
will invariably select a town that
is up to the times, and : s eagerly
in favor of every modern improve
ment. A town in these modern
times can’t afford to be peopled
with old fogies or antediluvian
fossils who are continually kick
ing at every enterprise. To make
a flourishing town you must believe
in its future and work for it, en
couraging every improvement.
Make a special effort to exhibit
some evidence of improvement in
your own work and character. Help
every worthy man, help every en
terprise, and encourage every good
man to locate in your town.
If every business man in our
town could do business on a strict
ly cash system it would be a bless
ing to us all. If we all had to pay
cash we would learn to live within
our means. It would save business
men the expense of bookkeepers
and the Joss of bad debts all of
which someone has to pay for.
If our town could gradually work
into a strictly cash system it would
be better for us all.
Ex-President Roosevelt ha
been getting himself into a lot of
trouble of late. The question is
now being discussed throughout
the country as to whether this
truly wonderful man is a states
man first, and a politician after
wards, ora politician first and- a
statesman afterwards. A great
many Western Insurgents are in
clined towards the latter view.
When he was sweeping the WesG
a short while ago on waves of un
ceasing ovations, he was hailed a
a leader of leaders of the Insur
gent or Progressive movement ir
the Republican party. The rock
on which the Republican party
split into Insurgent and Stand-Pat
Camps was the Payne-Aldric-*
Tariff. The Progressive Republi
cans have attacked that m asure
with more bitterness and virulence
than the Democrats have ever
done. Roosevelt Indorses Payus—
Aldrich Tariff.
At the recent New York con
vention, which Roosevelt domina
ted in \x manner to suit himself,
the tariff bill was indorsed and al
so President Taft. In regard to
President Taft the Insurgents, ae
a rule, indorse his good intentions
only, which are admitted even by
Democrats as well as Republicans,
but many of his acts the Imnrgent*
do not endorse, ao when a cpn\**n—
tion goes further than to indorse
President Tafts’ good intention it
goes outside of the Realm of In
surgency into the Stand-Pat Camp*
Mr Roosevelt has been called up
on to explain whether he is work
iug both ends against the middle,
as the saying is. or what?
Love mgkes living less difficult
for men and women. It smoothe
the rugged road ; it lightens the
burdens ; it shares disappointment
and sorrows; and it doubles every
joy. The love that is simple and
kind and constant is the surest ally
in the work-a-day wor'd. The love
that idealizes, that translates prose
into poetry and lifts the heart of
jubilant song in the darkest hour
is the very glory of life and the
man or woman is forever blessed
and forever young who is gifted
with the ecstacy of love. It is like
the rose bloom on the young girl’s
cheek, you say it cannot outlive
early youth. You are mistaken.
Some are born with this fountain
of eternal youth within them, rieb
rare natures that live with head
and heart in the full sunshine, how
ever dark the clouds that drifv
about their feet.
Look in any direction you please
in our village and yyu’ll see peer
ing up. new roofs, new additions,
n*w porches, new Darns, new
fences, all betoking general thrift
enterprise and push. The prospect
is for more general improvement
than has taken place for many a
year. Everybody catch the spirit
and let business whiz. ’
It is evident that Mr Taft likes
to be tickled.
