You have, we presume, been doing a little cleaning up and polishing up around your premises of late. That is good, and very commendable, and we admire you for it. But let us gently whisper in your ear that one lone clean-up is not enough. Things look nice, and clean, and pretty just now, but in a few weeks they will begin to take on a dingy and ragged appear ance, and every additional week will but emphasize the depressing and de structive effects of indifference and neglect. Do it again, and keep right on doing it at frequent intervals. It will add cheer to your own life and to those of your family and friends. It’s a good thing to do and we hope to compliment you on keeping right on with it. PULL YOUR OWN NOSE. The fellow who is always criticis inghis own town is like the kid who hankers for a chance to pull the other kid's nose. He forgets that the con dition of the town is most lfkely brought by his own shortcomings and those of others of his kind. He sees only the delinquencies of others and forgets that perchance his own may be even more glaring and destructive. He weaves a halo around his precious brow and bespatters that of his neigh bor with ooze and slime. He sees evil where good exists, failure where suc cess is assured, and poverty where prosperity is in the ascendent. If he, like the unruly kid, wants to pull any body’s nose he would confer a favor upon suffering humanity by tweaking the bump on his own face. It needs it. Rev. Father Jarka has moved into his nice, new parsonage and is com fortably located. Mr. and Mrs. Camp bell has moved into the house vacated by Rev. Father Jarka. There are times, however, when men talk big, say little, and do nothing. NEWS OF ROCKVILLE Jacob Ritz was a Loup City visitor oetween trains Tuesday. R. W.
