What would you do if your town pa-1 per should indefinitely suspend publi cation ? ' I i"IIaving no newspaper would mean a Jrcturn to the old Roman method of j posting Information on public bulletin 1 boards. A call for a teachers' exam ination would necessitate posting no tices at dozens of plnces in the county at greater expense than the charge in the local papers.

A White Page. Pause and reflect, nor mar a stainless page With words reflecting an unworthy thought; But let some psalm of life thy soul engage: Then, with the limpid inspiration caught, Live in ideals that lift thy nature higher, So that, mayhay, some grosser na ture lit, May kindle at thy flame, and so norn'ra j To brighter ways through it. Mar not a life, from God's hands is suing clean, With thoughts and deeds that sully and defile. Live in his sunshine, where its limpid sheen May ever show thee Good's creative smile. A. A.
