The character of a child is mould ed principally In Its younger years, and seldom leaves the pathway it has been trodding in those days. It is made or broken by its parents. Some parents are always kind to their children, but firm, insisting up on |implicit obedience. The world is full of such children, now grown to manhood, and they are dominat ing the really Imprtant affairs of the world. Other parents are weak and vacil lating. They coax, wheedle, storm, rave and threaten—but never punish They are not obeyed, and are often defied. The world is also peopled with these children, now men. Much of the peopling is within the four walls of a jail or a penitentiary. It is a problem indeed, but one which many parents fail to solve un til too late. The children do It for them—in their own way. TELL IT TO THE EDITOR Every newspaper editor is desirous of printing all of the legitimate news of his subscription field. That is the object of his paper. But unfortunately an editor is part ly human—he at least is moulded in human form. He does not possess a dozen pair of hands, or legs, or eyes, or ears for the collection of this vast fund of information. That is why the editor urges you to tell him what you know—to keep him informed of the doings of yourself and family, of your friends, or of the community in general. It is the only way to make a good paper—and a good paper is one of the prime requisites to a good community in which to live and do business. Tell it to the editor. He’ll tell others—if it is tellable. A MESSAGE FOR YOU It won't do you a bit of harm to look at the goods advertised in this paper. Merchants can not afford to pay printing bills In order to advertise something that won’t "stack up” on inspection. That is not the home way. Every ad in this paper contains in formation of value to some person Perhaps you are that person—but you can't tell without reading the ads. Letters to the editor are always welcomed especially when accom panied by a check. Write often.

PAYS 00 AS THE EDITOR SEES IT A good citizen wants our opinion, editorally expressed, as to the most practical method of stimulating a greater interest in local affairs on the part of the public. Years ago, when the present adult generation were children, the attrac tion that brought out regularly the greatest number of people was the weekly meeting of the old fashioned debating society. The members of the society would select a subject to be discussed, both affirmatively and negatively. Then from their membership, by vote, they would select the speakers who were to argue the pros and cons of the subject, two taking the affirm ative and two the negative. Of course a time limit was placed upon each speech. A jury of five or seven people would be selected to render a decision at the close of the speaking, and the contestants would go to it. their partisans rooting with lavish ap- clause at every telling point made. More vital issues would be brought out in these public debates in one night than would crop out in a year f the ordinary routine of life. And incidentally we might remark that some of the most brilliant orat- ors this country has ever produced received their earlier training in pub lic speaking in the old time debating society. Its revival would be a reminiscent pleasure to the older heads among us, ind a blessing to the yonger genera tion that is springing up. The citizen has our humble opin- ion. PLEASING PROFITS Every farmer is in business for profit. He is interested in anything that will increase his profit. He knows the importance of good seed and well bred stock. He has been talking about it for years. Thought and a little investment pay big dividends in buildings as in stock and seed. When good farm buildings will pay for themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed and machinery in one season—surely they can be called a good investment.
