He who teaches often learns him-eelf.
IT is disheartening to call a
l.lufT
that is not a bluff.
Thekk'h always room for one more
in the crowd at the bottom.
TllK drudgery we call a drag may Le
the counterpoise that helps us to rise.
Taking pleasures as they come is
happiness; running after them is mis
wry. IT'S the little kindnesses we sow that
give us the harvest of perpetual pleas
ure. It often takes the barrenness of the
desert to teach us to look up to the
Btara.
We blame Providence for our pover
ty, but take the credit ourselves when
we Ret rich.
Many merchants in as many differ
ent cities have tried a liberal use of
newspaper advertising space, and in
every instance the merchant has been
surprised at his success. The Chicago
Record-Herald gives the following in
stance: "Selfridge has already been com
pelled to enlarge his big store in
London. The liberal use of news
paper advertising is reported to
have brought about his sudden and
surprising success."
If you have an article that the people
want, and will advertise it properly,
you'll get the business. The trouble
with too many business men is that
they do not know how to do advertis
ing, and they will not take the trouble
to learn how. If every business man
in this city was making the right kind
of an effort to get business, and extend
the field of trade for this city, it would
not be long before the city would be
come a live commercial center. Iner
tia is the death of all business enter
prise. Whenever a city ceases to bo
active, and ceases to cirry en an act
ive campaign of advertising, that soon
it begins to retrograde.
Some people never get too old to
learn, and some others never get old
enough to learn anything.
I F YOU don's see what you want, acl
"vertise. The fact that you want it is
ample reason that you ought to have it
and advertising is a means to an end.
Local merchants handling alfalfa
seed should use great case in procuring
clean seed, as this will be of the great
est possible benefit to the farmers.
The greatest expense the farmer has is
to fight weeds. For this reason he
should be specially interested in not
planting such weed seeds as are often
found in clover and alfalfa. Dodder is
a parasitic plant and often kills clover
Buckhorn seed is common in clover, as
two destructive kinds of plantain.
Why should a public road be four
rods wide? There is not a single pub
lic road in Cass county that has a road
bed more than Il-'l feet wide. The other
i'.i feet is waste land, and annually
grows up in weeds so that the winds in
the fall and winter scatter the seeds
over the adjoining tarmer a land, and
the following year he is compelled to
spend much energy and money in fight-
ng the weeds. We are in favor of
selling back the land that is unused to
the farmers, and using the money ac
quired in this manner to put the roads
in first class condition; then by proper
supervision they may be kept in such
condition. Thousands of dollars are
lost to the farmers of this county every
year in the hauling of their grain to
market. The roads are in such condi
tion that they cannot haul the amount
of grain at each load that could be
hauled on good roads. We are in fa
vor of amending the road law at the
next session of the legislature. The
farmers should take up this matter and
bring it to the attention of the legisla
ture in such a manner as to accomplish
the desired result.
Mrs. Henry Steinhauer and MissMol
lie Godwin left Tuesday evening for
(Juincy, 111., where they will visit the
family of Mrs. Albert Bowman and
other friends some time.

Long ago the Scotch learned this.
The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent "discoveries" that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri
cans cat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say; "Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth." Still wc have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. If you arc convenient to
the store you'll probably buy the
regular size package. For those who
live in the country the large size family
package is more satisfactory. Follow
the example of the Scotch ; eat a Quaker
Oats breakfast every day.
