THIS ONI.V llliMOCUATIC I'AI'RIl IN
WRIMTKH COUNTY
There ought to be at least one good
government post olllco building In
Webster county. Other places in this
district have government buildings and
tills county ought t bo represented,
Ho long as tt h. the policy to locate
public buildings in the various dis
tricts we feel that wo ought to receive
a share of the spoil.
Wo trust that those who have charge
of the programs at the In.stitutu will
glvo each speaker notleo of the time
'he is to oeoiipy and then unrryont the
program to the lutter. Where more
than one appears at any one lime It is
unfair to the speakers and unfair to
tlio luidlunee to allow more than an
hour and a half to the program.
Itoginuing Wednesday of nexi week
the Farmer's Institute will be In sess
ion and u careful examination of the
program will convince anyone that

lust because we are having a mild
winter we uoed not work ourselves up
to a lit of frenzy. It does not follow'
that there will bo a failure of crops
this coming season. Old timers tell
us that it is absolutely impossible to
toil what the summer will be. Take
last winter for instance when wo had
an abundance of snow on the ground,
If there was anything in the winter at
all one would suppose that there
would bo an abundant crop. Hut the
outcome was wo were about twelve
inches short of our normal rainfall.
Yet there was an excellent harvest.
What couiils Is rain at the right time
and it is useless to anticipate doom
and instruction because wo cannot tell
anything about it. What counts is in
telligent cultivation of crops.
