These two ar all that he has to offer for saie to the public, and no one i h is as ' e: given any sort oi satisfactory reasons why he should ever be asked by anyone to donate them One thing newspaper peoph will never be abie to understand is why any person will walk into a newspaper office and make hm. eif or herself an object of charity and insist upon what they would disdain to ask (or in jany other shop or place of busi | ness in the town. The principle is the same in the newspaper office as in the dry goods store, the grocery, the dmg store, and what a great many people need is to recognize it as the same and ^et off the newspaper list. Advertising space in the news paper is for sale, not to give away. It has a certain value in itself that makes it worth mon **y. Copies of the newspaper ire for sale —not to give away. If they are worth having, they are worth the exceedingly small price asked for them. The public, or at least a large portion of it, has some very erroneous ideas about these mat ters, and it is but just to the newspaper folk that their ideas lie corrected in accordance with the same business principles that prevail in all other business stablishmerits. In a vast majority of cases thi < mnerous charity on the part of ho newspaper, is blissfully tn -f>n for granted, and th * paper’s liberality is abused.

His clothes are oor—makes no show, never mind, just say “Hello!” That i:ome-spun shirt may conceal a nreat strong heart, true as steel; t iat old coat and shabby vest cuts no ice, but do your best to i iake him happy here on earth nd to feel that he’s o! worth. 1 >on’t you know that such a chap P is every day his sure mishap? All he needs is hearty cheer to make him happy while he’s here. Don’t let him think that the earth was dead against him s nee his birth. Crack his shell, draw him out; don’t let him whine, sulk or pout. Make him tell you all the w >es of his heart before he goes. Don’t tell him he’s a chump but tell him to get up and hump; tell him not to be mo slow, but get around and say Hello: 1 m alive, what can I 'do to help myself, as well as 'you?” Do not wait until he’s ;dead to strew bouquets around head Nice words spoken art out of place, if not said befort is face. Make him see that You’re his friend, and will stu\ ich to the end. Yes, teil hin iow, though he’s rough: ”Wh\ old brother, you’re just the stutl ' his world needs to make it go mow brace up and cry, ’‘Hello!’ j There are plenty such about lliiit are Wurth th> • . • • !

It one farmer who reads this has not saved seed for next spring, let him get busy and get his seed put away. A farmer who has to huy seed next spring will deserve the criticism of all good farmers. Take the poll of a township of your school district and see if one farmer has neg lected his duty and then pray for him, then pray with him and if that won’t bring him, “duck” him is the suggestion of the Extension Division of the Col lege of Agriculture and Depart ment of Agriculture. THE EDITOR AND YOU Did you ever stop to consider the different treatment accorded you by the editor and that you accord him? If he should knock your business through the col umns of his paper you would hold a grudge against him to his grave and as time rolled by it would grow in size until you would find it as hard to roll as a baby elephant soaked in grease. Now. such is the case with the 'editor He hears that you have | ridiculed and run down the pa ■| per, tiiat you red p»o;r.»on ,1“ streets that i' could not come , i into your homes, and then you I tell him your daughter has grad uated. He praises her to the i skies, says she is the pride of ' the community, the smartest ;| thing on earth and that her parents have just cause to he proud of her. You can mark y .• pap r "rtfused" • k i back in tl e post office and boas* ! of ‘a ,iur associates, humiiat-■ i ig him if you can. but if your son gets into trouble or your daughter misbehaves in church or elsewhere, rather than hurt vour feelings he suppresses • ver. thing connected with the unfortunate case, at the risk of being called a numb skull who can never get hold of the news. He hears your denunication, fe th■* sting of it all, and sometimes suffers financial loss) as a consequence, but he never! uses the columns of his j paper to "get even " On the j other hand, if you have anything to boost, he will boost it for you;! if honors come your way he takes pride in heralding it out, and if death invades your home he will go to I he bottom of his heart for tender sympathy and condolence for those left to mourn. You might sometime think of these things while en deavoring by word or deed to belittle the editor and his use fulness in the community. You might put a higher polish cn your Christianity by following' the editor’s example. — Lake City Democrat. | When you keep your business i secret you are locking Mine. Fortune out.
