YOUTH.
"The way the twig is bent. so
the tree is inclined," was a com
znon saying our fathers and
forefathers generally remarked
when speaking of training young
children. In those days the child
was taught by parent and im
pressed on the youthful mind the
portance of being polite, to
equals and elders, attentive and
considerate to 6th ers, industri
ous in and out of school, and last
ifeut not least the importance of
ijeing gentlemen and ladies at all
times. At the present time and
:f or years past the important les
ion expressed in regard to the
twig and tree is never heard,
while many children hello ; and
suse unseenly, impolite and rude
language to elders and superiors
on the streets, many of them
pursue destructive habits to
wards the property and belong
ings of others, so much so that
vandalism- is common every
where. Few parents ever think
that the habits which they per
aait their children to indulge, in
roaming the streets, instead; of
finding employment for them at
home or elsewhere, ' often leads
Jfcbev young to vandalism and of t
itimes to malicious mischief. The
"State for years has supplied most
-excellent facilities in the way of
schools, but the more important
'thing is to adopt some system by
whictf the young shall be profit;
ably and innocently engaged dur
ing the time they are . not in
shocil, adopting a I system 'by
which the youth will grow up to

Good printing is correct in
spelling correct in gram
marcorrect in punctuation
on good stock printed
with good ink and some
thing that it is a pleasure to
look at.
That is the kind
the Gazette turns
out.
Prices for good printing are
based on the cost of good
material, and the labor and
taste employed in doing the
work. To this every printer
adds a percentage for profit.
The cheap printer charges
the same profit as the good
printer the difference in
cost to you comes out of the ,
value of the material used
in fact you pay for all you
get.
Skill, taste and ex
perience are ne
cessary factors in
producing GOOD
printing.
Examine your'l I work, and
: don't pay ; for it until you
m know it ' is all right. It is
lyourown faultllif you pay
"good money forgotten eggs.
