Mnuror There are hitfh tarilV doiuoerats and low tarlir republicans and on all other questions thoy areas radicallydivlded. U the peoples party tliero are no sueli divisions. When a man declares that ho is u populist, every one knows what his position will he upon all the load ing questions of the day. In any use of tho term as heretofore employed, the peoples independent parly is tho only political party in tho statu of Ne braska. I'olk County Democrat. The Woodman play deserves more than passing attoiuion in as much as it will be a play put on by our homo people. It is a good strong play and tho participants are working hard to make It presentable. This community is certainly big enough to provldo near ly all its own amusement without Inn ing to depend upon outside importat ion. Any activity which will develop our own talents along any line ought to receive the utmost encouragement. It is very gratifying to Webster county that IJltie Hill and Bladen havo taken progressive stops. Uluo Hill has voted to install electric lights and Dladou has voted to have water works and electric lights. This will give both of those places lire protection uud tho appearance of. thrift. Fire protection is not a luxury it is an ab solute necessity. Now if Guide Hock will get in the procession this county wilLbo in a position to oiler excellent inducements to prospective citizens. T' Decayed fruit and vegetables thrown in the streets and alleys breed disease and llys. Even the main streets aro uui exempt from thoughtless people us one can see this litter almost any time, on our streets. Tho manufacture ot giHiit lly traps is n laudable industry but a much better one is to deny tho lly a chance to breed. This can be done by keeping all our streets and alleys clean. Now that we know mote about tho lly and his dangers we ought to use every precaution to get rid of him. Tho condition of our streets and alleys respectfully submitted to the mayor and couucll. We often hoar men say in excuse for their ignorance that they never hnd "a chance " Now the majority of men who havo become noted, made the chance for themsol ves Where there's a will there's a way, you know, and the boy who determines to be some thing and does not lose heart In the struggle, generally accomplishes his end. One may have a great many wlso and ambitious thoughts but If not followed up with perseverance and in dustry, he will nover amount to much. A thing amst be wholly done and woll done, if one would have fame and prosperity. Education Is the great preparation that materially ilgurcs in llfo's success, and our High School Is making extensive preparation to give every young man and woman in the county a "chance in the race" at a very small outlay. A farmer should remembor that hit wire is a business purinor. hiieiniiKes the butter, boards tho hands, helps prepare things for market, is a watch dog for the premises whon he Is away, and sometimes assists wit li tho poultry and gatiloiKund when ho secretly signs away money she has helped to earn, he is choutiug Ills partner, as well as robbing his wife; and It is an ollonso the law would not tolerate in any other co-partnor.ship, nor should'it In this. There is a law that pro vents u man from soiling his farm without his wlfo's signature, and It sounds as if n wife wan of somo importance; but it is rend ered non-otVcctlve as a preservative of her home from the fact that he can mortgage It and endorse other men's papers tunny extent without Iter know lcdu or consent, uud tints dispose of tliufitmlly possessions, and the sheriff can sell, and she has no rights that he It bound to respect. This statute is mockeiy until It is supplemented by auoMier making a man's signature, as securitv, invalid when written without his wife's approval; and still another making It illegal for him to mortgage tho farm to pay debts that she has lio knowledge of. The Democratic candidates for con gress are exceptionally strong this year and they are putting up a united frontof reforniund progress Maguiro in the First, Loboek in the Second, Latta in tho Third, Mood in tho Fourth, Sutherland in tho Fifth and Dean In the Sixth are the men who are bearing the standards and they are all men of known ability worthy of tho support of an Intelligent people. With candi dates such as these the Democratic party has much reason to congratulate Itself. Indications are strong that the standpatters will gain control of the republican party and that will mean tho continuation of "the best tarilflaw over innoted", tho policy of Aldrich and Cannon, tho Interests against the people. The regulars are in control and mo even so strong as to defy ex president Roosevelt. How important it is therefore for the people to uphold these democratic candidates who aie bitterly opposed to the sysic.m and all it represents. A Word About Tho SchoolsIt is a mistake to teach children a little of everything and nothing throughly. About all education can do for u man or boy is to set him to thinking for himself. Tho germ of originality in tho individual needs cultivation need stimulant. The head crammed with other people ideas has little room for its own thought Many a boy is so throughly schooled that the com mon sense, the will power, tho self re liant manhood, is driven out of him. A load of facts with no education in their use is of little value. The most successful business men in our cities are thuso whose scanty education em braced a thorough knowledge of situ pie rules and studies, but whose nec essities have since demanded vigor ous thought, incossent industry and the best use of every ressotirco of mind and body. Tho hotbed system of education enfeebles rather than strengthens. Only a few require the classics astronomy or a knowledge of the dead languages. An Improvement Association. Whllo all the towns around us aro forming associations of their business men for the purpose of improving the towns, what is the "reason that ofir town can not have one;' It will cost nothing to meet once in two or four weeks and talic ovor the stttiiation. While it might not be much to boom tho town, yet wo should got better acquainted with one another and with one another' wants and wishes. A community of bplritoreutes an enthus iasm which is vory apt to display it self in some direction. Theoldsaylng that everything comes to him who waits, may have been true in the old time, but under the spirit of tho pres ent age if a person wants a tiling ho must go after it. Wo believe there is a go-ahead spirit enough in town to carry an improvement association through to good results if it wore only startod; and wo also boliovo that after It was fairly started the good effects of it would be felt immediately. Per haps not as some cities have douo in getting great branchesof industry to settle here, but in plans for beautify ing and improving what wo have, nnd in being roady to embrace opportuni ties, if any should come. An associa tion of this kind, it seems to us, would be pleasant and prolltablo, even if not much In tho way of "boom" came from it. Will not some of tho business men make a move in the matter'.' Catd of Thanks, We desire to thank the kind friondb and relatives, albo tho Masonic lodge and Order of Eastern Star, for the assistance, sympathy and beautiful Uoral otVerlngs, which were tendered us during the Illness and death of our beloved husband and father.

TEN GOOD REASONS FOR HOME PATRONAGE Your home merchants can duplicate the prices made by any responsible concern auywhero on goods of equal quality, in the same qii'intitie and on the same basis of delivery and payment. You can examine your purchnses in the home stores and be assured of satisfaction before investing your money. Your home merchants are always ready and willing to miiko right any error or any defuctive article purchased. Your homo merchants help support, through direct and Indirect taxation, your schools, churches, libraries and other public institutions. Your home merchant helps mako a good local market for everything you havo to sell, and that market more than any other factor gives your laud its present value. Your homo merchants are your good friends, ever ready to extend a help ing hand in time of need. If this community is good ctiough for you to .ive in and make your money in, 'tis good enough to spend It in. Tho best citizens in this community aro those who believe in and prac tice home patronage. lie one of the best! Tho merchants in the distant city give you nothing valuable that the homo merciutnt cm not glvo you uud the former euunot and will not do for you many things the latter do gladly. Every dollar kept iu circulation in this community helps Increase property values. Every dollar sent out of this community thnt could us well be spent hero hinders the wheels of progress and helps build up some other community at your expense. 10 ADDITIONAL LtCALS C5co. .Morhart went west on Kl Mon day morning.

The Lincoln Daily Journal has out ils price to a dollar from now ttntill January 1. 1011, without the Sunday. The big Sunday paper will be added for only a quarter extra, therefore most people will no doubt take the Si.'-Ti worth. This makes an exceeding ly low price during a specially inter esting time. As nearly every family will want a Lincoln paper during the next few months. The State Journal's reputation as a free, independent, clean newspaper will prove of special advantage during the warm campaign now begun. The paperstops when the time is up without any notice from you whatever, so that you see it is no plan to get you started and then foice the paper on you. Uixby, the poet-philosopher ot The Journal, is worth the price of admis sion himself Slate telegiaph is a strong fealuieaiid sportingcranksare well sat i.slied Tho thing above ull others is the fact that when you see anything political in Tho Journal that its for the benefit of the people at large and not for the selfish political interest of the owners. No booze ads, no misty medical ads, no fraudulent Investment schemes. Fact is, its the kind of n paper you want iu your turn ily. Why not try it a dollar's worth at this cut price'.' WHY WOMEN GROW OLD EARLY Through a Mistaken Idea of Duty She Permits Her Life to Becomo a Treadmill. ' Why do somo women prow old and others keep tho Becret of perpetual youth? Hero Is one answer: Ono reason why tho average woman wears out, grows plain before her hus band, la that, through a mistaken Idea of duty, Bho lays out for herself at the beginning of her married life a Bchemo or plan of duty and employ ment for her tlmo, every hour flllod with work, with rare and short periods of relaxation. ThlB she followB religiously for years, feeling tnai sne uas uone ner duty, becauBo every household event occurs regularly and on time, whllo she soon becomes merely a machine, a thing without Ufo of Itself or voli tion. Sho BottleH Into a rut, and goes round and round on the Bamo track everlastingly. Can any woman keep brightness, originality of thought or speech, or over, moro prettlness with such a mo? And without those things how can Bho keep her husband and growing chil dren full of loving admiration, which is tho strong chain by which sho can" bind thorn to her? How bright and Jolly tho neighbor's wlfo seems when, she calls. In nlno cases out of ten it Is becauso tho surroundings and talk of your homo aro variety to hor, and rouso her to originality and bright ness of speech. Cultivate a broad attltudo toward the world and Kb people. Let your In terests bo far-roachlng, and thero will bo renewed vigor when It comes to solvo tho problems of tho homo. Dm: opi i ,t !
