The Monmouth Normal School this year ajjfain
patronizes the Ready Prints ot the country
newspapers. Again and again this institution
has appealed to the country press for support,
but when thej have money to spend lor advertis
ing it is spent with the ' Ready Print' concern,
ana the ads placed in the patent insides over
which the country papers have no control and
lrom which they derive no revenue, ihe coun
try press should remember this policy of the State
.Normal when the next request lor support comes.
Aurora Observer.
The country publishers are to blame for this
condition. As long as they use the "ready prints"
they should not complain.
Three newspapers in Polk county, with a possi
ble combined circulation of 1200, use "ready
prints." The Normal authorities think they are
getting very cheap advertising at two cents per
inch per paper, not knowing that not ISO of the
1200 ever read the "ready print
In a few years, all county officers will be elect
ed as non-partisans. The party label will be
banished. When that time comes, better men
will be elected and better service will be given.
It is too be presumed that the Republicans will
improve upon the quality of their wind bellows as
the campaign progresses. Starting off with Jim
Watson of Indiana is a poor beginning-. Jim has
been running errands lor big business" for
twenty years.
Rut then, W. O. W. Hawley used to march up
the hill with Jim Watson and Joe Cannon.

IiuJ Fisher jumped the old-time rut when he invented
Jeff and Mutt. For years, with that amusing pair, he's
chased away the people's care, and made them laugh
and throw their hats, and cackle till
they broke their slats. The tired,
the sad, the weak, the worn, have
laughed with Bud, and ceased to
mourn; tho Inme, the halt, the blind,

When ho sits down to hatch a plot

he lights his pipe, and soon a joke

when you have tried a jar or two.
