WHEN PEOPLE FORGET TO THINI^.
Forgetting to think is a prevalent
ailment the world over, and in this
respect our own community is no ex
ception to the general rule. It is of
daily occurence right in our own
midst.
It is not the big things of life we
that we forget, for our nature is such
that important matters are more in
dellibly impressed upon our minds
and therefore the more certain of re
ceiving attention at the proper time.
But it is the little things that slip
our minds, promises lightly made and
soon forgotten, duties that are left
unperformed because we simply for
get to think.
Stored away in the vaults of our
banks are thousands and thousands
of dollars drawing interest for vari
ous good citizens when they by rights
should be credited to the accounts of
other people.
Our merchants, doctors, lawyers,
carpenters, practically everybody in
fact, have small accounts due them
here and there because people have
forgotten to pay, have forgotten even
to think.
It is fifty cents here, a dollar there,
or two or five, small in the individual
account but enormous in the aggre
gate. If all of these accounts were col
lected together and one man became
responsible for the combined sum, he
would never forget to give it consider
ation, regardless of the extent of his
wealth. It would be too important to
overlook, too vital to forget.
We could name a merchant in this
town who has thousands of dollars
on his books in insignificant amounts.
The people who owe him these sums
are not deadbeats, for they are among
our best class of substantial citizens.
He is not worrying over eventually
getting the money because he knows
from long experience with these same
people that his accounts are as good
as gold—with one exception. The
gold in hand would enable him to in
crease the size of his stock and sell
more goods and thereby earn greater
dividends on his investment. But
wholesalers and manufacturers re
quire their money on the dot, and a
hundred or a thousand small accounts
due the merchant are not considered
in the light of an asset by the men
from whom h.e buys his goods. If
each of the men who owe these small
accounts would take the trouble to
think, they would rush in one great
throng to that store and pay up those
small bills, and the merchant would
then be in position to do even better
by them in the future. But they for
get to think, and their money remains
in bank and they continue to draw
interest on it while the merchant pa
tiently waits for his due. And this
merchant is only one of the many.
Even this newspaper is not immune
from the evils of forgetting to think.
In fact, we incline to the belief that
we are in even a more unenviable po
sition in this respect than any mer
chant in town.
To speak candidly, we are proud
of the names we have on our sub
cription list, for they represent the
intelligence and the integrity of this
whole community.
But even men of the highest intel»
ligence and the most rigid integrity
can forget to think. They are for
getting to think in our own case.
If these same good and loyal citi
zens could take one glance at our
books they would be appalled at the
amount of money that is due us on
subscription to this paper. They are
small accounts individually, ranging
from 50 cents to $2 or $3, marked up
against men and women whose words
are as good as their bonds.
But we can not pay our own bills
with the honor and the integrity of
our subscribers. We put up the cash.
Right now we have a splendid op
portunity to invest some money in
our business that would yield us hand
some returns. But we are handicapped
because our subscribers forget to
think. We can not make the invest
ment unless our subscribers do think,
not only think, but pay. And we do
yearn mightily toward that dividend
producing investment.
But it will not always be so. Some
day people will not forget to think,
for our people are right minded and
their forgetfulness is but a fault and
not a crime. But if it were only to
day!
DO SOMETHING
“There’s never anything new in this
town.”
How often have you heard that re
mark? . We had it hurled at us a cou
ple of days ago.
And why is there nothing new?
Simply because everybody waits for
somebody else to start something. We |
are all ready to talk if the other fel-,
low will do, but too few of us are wil
ling to take the initiative and “start
something.”
What made New York, and Chicago,
and Philadelphia, and all of the other
great cities of the country? Was it
their natural advantages alone, or the
people who wait for others, or did they
just happen?
It was neither of these. It was the
ability and the initiative of their "do
something” citizens. There is no
place in those burgs for the fellow who
"waits.”
We can do the same here, if we want
to. Not on as large or gigantic scale,
of course, but still we can improve our
condition a thousand per cent if we
will only resolve to “do things”—and
then do them.
There is just as many brains in this
town in proportion to population as
there are in New York, Chicago or
Philadelphia, but they are like the
sleeping volcano while the city man's
brains are constantly in eruption.
It is time to wake up—to come out
of our trance—it is time to “do some
thing”—and we address this statement
particularly to the friend who accosted
us a couple of days ago.
We suggest that you do something,
because we know that you have the
ability to do. And when they see your
brain working to a purpose others
wil sit up and btart theirs to moving,
too.
If you, reader, have ever made such
complaint of this town we are talk
ing to you, too. Shake the cobwebs
from your brains, and in time you will
find others keeping the pace right by
yoifl- side. Do something yourself,
and then you will never .have oca
sion to say to others that “there is
never anything doing in this town.”
A sleeping volcano never makes
much smoke.
THE BOOSTER AND THE KILLER.
Nearly every town has two classes
of citizens, the boosters and the
killers. All the world loves the for
mer, but even the devil shuns the
latter.
Be a booster!
The town booster is known by
everybody, for he is always doing and
saying something to push his town
and its people along. He is the man
who makes the town. The killer is
the one who destroys it.
Be a booster!
The booster never loses anything
by his boosting. He boosts other peo
ple and other people boost him, and
through this combination of boosting
great things are accomplished. It
is only the killer who falls of his
own weight, of his own words, of his
own deeds.
Be a booster!
The booster is like a ray of sun
shine on a cloudy day. He brightens
everything and everybody around
him. His geniality, his cheerfulness,
his energy and his good deeds breed
hope in the bosom of despair. His
words and his acts aid others and en
noble himself. But the killer only
kills, just kills, kills, kills!
Be a booster!
This town has many boosters, and
you all know them, you admire them,
you respect them. And your respect
is more precious to the genuine
booster than is your gold. It is only
the killer who stands alone, with
out friends, without hope for the fu
ture.
Be a booster!
There may be a killer or two in
this town, but we hope not. But if
there are any we hope they will cease
killing and go to boosting. There
(is no honor or profit in killing, but
there is much to be gained through
boosting.
Be a booster!
We need the boosters, we need more
boosters. But we can exist hand
somely without the killer, for the
killer’s principal diversion in life is
to take a knock at the town, at its
people, at their ways, and at every
thing and everybody connected
therewith,except the killer.
Be a booster!
If there are any killers in this
town let’s convert them, so we can
all be boosters. The booster is of
value to every legitimate thing with
which he comes in contact, while the
killer is not even of value to himself.
Be a booster!
Thu Northwestern has received a
copy of the Hay Springs News, which
is now owped and edited by George E.
Benschoter, who moved to Hay
Springs several weeks-ago. The News
is a six column quarto, well patron
ized by advertisers and appears to
cover the field in good shape. The
makeup on the sheet shows evidence
of careful -Work and The News no
doubt will be well patronized by the*
citizens of Sheridan county and
should prove a profitable venture to
Mr. Benschoter if the issue we have at
hand is any criterion to go by.

McKELVIE FOR GOVERNOR.
The Logical Candidate.
Long before S. R. McKelvie, publish
er of the Nebraska Farmer, signified
his intention of being a candidate for
governor it was freely remarked that
his many qualifications would make
him the most logical man for that po
sltion. His successful business career,
his lifetime of close association with
Nebraska farming, his several years of
legislative experience, first in the house
of representatives and next as lieu
tenant governor—all of these things,
together with his splendid character,
make him especially worthy of the
title The Popular Candidate.
THE MARINE’S SONG.
Washington, D. C.—The United
States marine corps is unique in all
branches of the American service,
in having a distinctive marching song
that is as swingy, catchy, as many of
the foreign marching songs. True,
West Point has its Benny Havens
song and the Seventh Cavalry
marches to the inspiring tune of Garry
Owen, but the “Halls of Montezuma”
is sung by all who wear the marine
uniform. One verse of the song—a
favorite one—runs:
“Our flag's unfurled to every breeze,
From dawn to setting sun,
We have fought in every clime and
place,
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job,
The United States marines.”

Feed Out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier.
In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready of the market six weeks earlier
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physieial condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is a con
ditioner for hogs. It keeps their
system clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without fall
ing a prey to the usual diseases of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog Pow
der is not stock food. It’s straight
medicine, and we took the agency
because it enables you to feed out
your hogs much earlier—J. J. Slom

son, road overseer in Logan precinct,

There has been considerable complaint
about this road during the years past,

versed. There isn’t a foot of un
graded road on the entire line and
it is kept up too.—Arcadia Champion.

So she came over and dropped Farris '
