We hope the farmers have been using
the split-log drag.
The week beginning April 14 is
clean-up week. Lets get busy and
clean-up things.
Supervisor Hill has commenced
work on th>e cement sidewalks at the
court house. This has been needed
for some time, and we are glad to
see the work going on.

I see by the papers that my good
old friend, J. Pierpont Morgan, has
passed to the great beyond?gone to
that great ocean whither we are all
drifting, and when we reach it we
all strike a common level, so far as
the human part of us is concerned.
About the other part of us I have no
definite knowledge, and, therefore, refrain
from exnressing an opinion.
There is one thing of which we are
all certain, and that is that all lives
lead to the great ocean, and that all
the wealth we may amass can not
stop the current which carries us
thither, and it is equally certain that
all of us ar*e sooner or later to arrive j
at the shore and destined to embark.1
No amount of wealth, no amount of!
fame, no distinction, no honors of
men, can stem the current which carries
us thither. Mr. Morgan was reputed
to be the richest man in the;
world?to control more money that!
any other one man. I notice he said j
that he made money because he enjoyed
the fun of making it. That ex- j
plains, I suppose, the action of some!
other people whom I have known.
They made! money butv refused to j
spend any, even to their own comfort,1
and I had often wondered what theyj
got out of their wealth?not that they!
were as wealthy as Mr. Morgan?but I
speaking from our point of view we
would call them rich men. I reckon
the pleasure they got out of life was
in the accumulating of money. Now, i
I am different. The pleasure I get
out of money is in the spending of it,
and in making other people happy,
and I reckon that is the reason "I have;
so little to spend, and consequently j
get so little pleasure out of life.
?o?
I met an old Irishman once who!
was a hack driver, and he was show- I
ing m-e some of Rockefeller's Standard |
oil wealth, and he was something of
a philosopher, as most all Irishmen!
are, and he liked to talk, and I en-;
gaged him in conversation, and the
conversation naturally drifted to the!
Standard oil king, and he told me that j
... i
lie would not exchange places with|
Rockefeller for all his wealth. Th? j
Irishman argued that he was better
off than Rockefeller with all his
wealth. He said he could sleep well j
i at night. Rockefeller could not. He'
said he could eat anything he wanted I
and Rockefeller could not. The Irishman
said that in addition to all of j
this he had his own happy cottage
home where he could go when his {
day's work was over and rest in quiet
and peace, and that Rockefeller could
not do this even in his mansion. "And |
in addition to all of this," said the old j
Irishman, "I associate with the best i
people," meaning, of course, to pay!
me a complime<nt, by associating with
me while he was driving me around j
the city, and other tourists whom fte j
had the pleasure and the profit of
riding around in his hack. As lightly
?s you may "think of it Mire re is a whole j
lot of truth and gcod sound sense in 1
this old Irishman's philosophy, and I
have often thought of it. Yet I reck- j
on these very rich men do some good
with their wealth, but it is unnatural
for on? man to accumulate and con-i
trol so much property, and to do so j
some one must suffer. But I suppose;
it is all right or it wouldn't be. At j
least that is the way I try to look at j
things. Maybe I am wrong.
-
I don't know whether any or my
readers ever read Leslie's Weekly cr
not, but I try to read it every week, j
that is I read one editorial in it which i
I think is worth the price of the paper.
It is generally a short editorial, but it j
is not always the long drawn out edi- j
torials or long articks of any kind
that have the most meat, and it is the
meat in anything that gives it1
strength. The current issue has an
editorial on "Guides" which I think j
is worth passing on, and I want every j
one who reads my stuff to read thisj
i
[
[ editorial, and 1 am going to take thchance
of passing it 011 to you. Here
! . .
; it is:
"The people must have a guide. No !
journey is tak'tn by a thoughtful man
or woman without some reference to
the time-table of the roads that must
be traveled. There are good guides
and bad*guides. Some lead to safety
and some to destruction.
"In every age we have had false
teachers and philosophies full of
fallacies. Twenty centuries ago tne
people flocked to follow a Master. He
taught them in the open fields and
by the seashore. He fed them while
He taught. He healed their sick and
raised their dead. They beli-eved in
Him? He proved that He was worthy
of their faith when He died for them.
"Whatever may be said or thought

j world concedes that He was its greatest
Teacher; He spoke a message of
peace and good will, of hope and comfort.
He was the true and faithful
friend of the people.
j "Compare His message with those

I of the masses go aboui, the country
| preaching a gospel of unbelief, unrest,
distrust and dishonor. Read the gentLe
words of Him who was a Master
of men; who. though born rich, for
their sakes became poor, and who, for
their justification, suffered the most
cruel of all deaths.

| '"Is thiere not something to think
I about, as we make the comparison between
the true and the false?"
?o?
We all need guides of some kind or
other, and we all have some sort of
guide, and a great deal depends on

Of course, every one who will stop for
a moment to consider will reach the
conclusion that there is only one
Guide who is worth while, but so
many of us forget to follow this Guide.
He was the world's greatest teacher,

WILSON GETS FIKST CHECK.
Secretary MeAdoo Hands Him War-i
rant for $5,625.?Nearly Full
Month's Wage.
j
Washington, March 30.?Woodrow |
Wilson will receive his pay check as j
president of the United States tomor-j
row, when Secretary McAdoo will pre-j
sent him with a treasury warrant for
$5,625, representing his salary from
March 4 to 31. On pay days hereafter,
however, the president will receive
$6,250, a full month's proportion
of his $75,000 annual stipend. i
The treasury department contem- j
plates establishing a precedent in the
method of paying President Wilson.
Since the days of Washington, the
* - - - J * ?Co.

known as an "accountable warrant,"!
which means money to be accounted
for. A "settlement warrant" which
closes an account has been given the
president only on his last pay day j
when his services are debited in books j
against the credits which have been j
made to him during his term or office. |
Mr. Wilson, however, probably will be,
given a "settlement warrant" eachj
month and his salary account with the!
government balanced monthly as his!
term transpires. No one today knows!
why the president always has* been ;
paid by an "account warrant" which is i
issued in other cases only in connec- j
tion with advanced money.
The president is the only official j
whose salary is paid directly by the I
treasury department. Vice President i
Marshal will receive from the sec-i
retarv of the senate the portion he

It was the opening of the winter
session and the teacher was making
up her list of pupils, says the Ladies'
Home Journal.
"Well, my boy," she said to one
youth, "what is your name?"
"Tom, Ma'am," said the boy promptly.

"'That does not sound well," she said i
"you should always give the full name.'
You should have said Thomas.' And j

Flushed with the consciousness of

< LEW-IT WEEK.
Civic Association Plans (leaning-l'i)
Campaign for Week Beginning
April 14.
? j
The following announcement of the
Civic Association is self-explanatory: I
The Civic Association most earnestly
requests everybody to take part in
'the general clean-up campaign.
Places mentioned below are request- :
ed to clean up and get things in a!
sanitary condition.
1. Every place of business, namely: !
Drug stores, fruit stores, grocery!
stores, meat mark-ets, hotels, bakeries1
and restaurants, including side streets
and back premises.
2. All public places, such as halls,
,public schools, depots^ court houses,
postoffice, etc.
3. Owners or vacani iois are must i
earnestly asked to cooperate In this
work.
4. Front and back yards of premises.
The mayor has kindly consented to
-have all trash, garbage, etc., that is
placed on the' side of the street, or inj
receptacles near the street, hauled
off on the following days:
Ward 1, by 12 o'clock on Monday.
Ward 2, by 12 o'clock on Tuesday.
| iVard 3, by 12 o'clock on Wednesday.
Ward 4, by 12 o'clock on Thursday.
Ward 5, by 2 o'clock on Friday.

Whom "Labor" Really Means.
From the census of 1900 we can
roughly estimate that of the 25,000,- i
000 persons engaged in industry 6,000,000
are farmers and 4,000,000 are
farm laborers; 12,000,000 are wage
earners and salaried employees; 1,500,000
are professional persons, and
about 2,000,000 are employers.
Moreover, of the 1,2000,000 woikmen
5,000,000 at the most may be set
aside as salarie-d employees and as
persons working in the smaller estab-;
lishments, says World's Work. This
I
leaves us an army of 7,000,000 wage
earners who may be said to be working
for 300,000 employers, and the ma-j
jority of these employers are not'
human beings, but corporations.
That is to say, of our whole popu-l
Iation in 1900, about one-third, or 29,-!
000,000 were engaged in "gainful occupations,"
and of this number the
militants may be said to be 7,000,000
? AAA AAA !
wage earners on one^siae ana auu.um
wage distributors on the other. This
compilation eliminates the farmer ind
his help, because there is practically'
no wage war on fhe land. The domes-1
tic servant, the employee of the little :
establishments and the salaried em-;
ployee is likewise eliminated from the
controversy. A salary somehow is an;
industrial sedative. The "black-coated
proletariat," clerks,, bookkeepers, etc.,:;
often earn less "Than merchanics end j
bricklayers. But they wear Soiled j
shirts and are meekly content with |
their neat jobs.
11
We have, then, narrowed down the j 1
forces that make the "labor problem,"
and they are only a minor portion of;1
the population. i1
'
ODD CURES FOR INSOMNIA. I1
! (
v i
Methods of Getting to Sleep That
Hare Been Found Effective.
A sufferer from insomnia, says Le
Temps, retails a number of counsels
he has received of which the first 1
comes from the poet M. Leconte, who
saya: J
"Open your window wide. Lie with ]
your head as low as possible and you j
will sleep like a post."
Another very well-known man
writes:
"Accustom yourself to take an hour i
or two's rest in a deck chair after ev- |
ery meal. Take down from your j ^
shelve some old-fashion>ed novel 01
which you have an affectionable re- {
: \
membrance as one of the joys of your.
youth, and read it while you are in
your deck chair. The more you are '
w-earied by it the better jou will sleep.! j
The secret of a good night is not to,1
!
tire yourself out in the evening, but,
to idle away the time, to get comfort-!
ably bored until the time comes for j
going to bed. The more your brain,
is dulled the better night you will:
have. .:
"An important point, though a diffi-i
cult one, is to avoid any dread of insomnia.
Personally I derive benefit,
though it may have just the opposite.
effect on another person, irom caicu- j
lating the multiples of 12 or 3 as far '
as I can.go, thus 2?4?8?16^-32, etc. i<
Or else count elephants; one elephant;
and one elephant make two elephants, \1
two elephants and one elephant make;'
three elephants; three elephants and'1
one elephant, etc. :
"Finally, knock off your black coffee !
even your morning cup on rising, and
take no meat in the evening. For 1
lr.n?h eat nothing but fruit, stewed j:
for prefererence, and for dinner a i
vegetable soup, vermicelli, mashed potatoes,
and one or two biscuits. 1
"If this does not do the trick, as a
last herioc remedy put a damp nap- *
\
kin round your li-ad at night covered
virh a piece of oilskin and tied on
with a bandage. Sleep should come in
ten minutes. But I look upon this device
as calculated in th^ long run to
in.pede the natural action of the organs
of the body."
Another of my fellow sufferers recommend's
magnetism, which he says
has cured him after ten applications.
Another writer: "No drugs should be
nsprl pvppnt in fhp rasp nt vprv nhsti
nrte insomnia, when it is necessary,
ai all costs, to get three.good nights.
Nc other person should be in the room
The sound of their sleeping is irritating.
Smoke very little in the evening
ami abstain from all stimuiants, tea,
coffee, grog, etc. Don't read in bed
If sleep refuses to come g^t up for a
few minutes and occupy yourself with
some trifling, duties, such as arranging
papers, folding up your clothes,
washin? vnnr hands "Don't let hnsi
nt;ss come into your head. Don't mind
a slight feeling of chill, and get into
)^ed again at the end of ten or twelve
minutes.
If in spite of all this sleep refuses to
come try reading. But don't read anything
lively or interesting. In my own
case it is very rare that insomnia does
not succumb to two, or three pages of
Plato's 'Phaedo.'"
Charity of The Jews.
Exchange.
The Jew as an immigrant or as a
citizen^ seldom becomes a public
charge. The race is not only charitable
to others, but it takes care of its
own. It has noble institutions for
the care of orphans, the sick, the
aged and the poor. One of the youngest
of its charities, operating chiefly
in New York, is the Hebrew Sheltering
and Immigrant Aid Society, the
third annual report of which is at
nana, me oDjects 01 mis society are
to facilitate the landing of Jewish
immigrants at Ellis Island, to provide
them with temporary shelter, food,
clothing and other aid deemed necessary;
to prevent them from becoming
public charges, and help them to
obtain employment; to discourage
their settling in congested cities by
opening opportunitiles for them
throughout the country in industries,
agriculture and commercial pursuits,
to disseminate knowledge of United
States immigration laws in European
centers of emigration, to prevent aD
influx of undesirable persons, and
by lectures and literary means to
foster American ideals and instil patriotism
in the newcomers of the race.
Is this not a comprehensive and admirable
series of efforts? It may
be said that no other people whose
numbers are being largely increased
here by immigration and ability to
administer it.
Neighborly Amenities.
There had be*en serious differe'ic-s
between Mrs. Blobbs and Mr . Doobs,
who were neighbors, owing to the former's
fowls trespassing upon the tetter's
flower beds, while the fox terr.-er
Df Dobbs had, in retaliation, cut short
the "span of life" of Mrs. Blobb's favorite
bantam.
Words were strong and heated "over
the garden wall," accompanied by
smacking of hands and furious threats
till at last, losing all control of herself,
Mrs. Blobbs, who had bean doing
the week's washing, "let fly."
What hflnnpnpd was npvt tnlrt in thp
police court, Bloubs answering to the
summons of Dobbs, whose face is
'partially closed for repairs." '
"And what have you to say as to
this assault. Mrs. Blobbs?" asked th*
magistrate.
"Please, yer waship, I was doin' the
washin' an' simply hit her over the
[ace with a pillow-case."
"What! A pillow-case inflict that
iamage? Two black eyes and a fractured
nose?' gasped the magistrate.
"Well?er?yer waship, if I must!
say, there was half a brick inside it
somebody left there."?L-ondon Opin
ion.
Remember, an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.

Calomel Gives Way to Dodson's

Every druggist in the State has no

ticed a great falling off in the sale of
calomel.. They all^give the same reason.
Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
its place?
"Calomel is often dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson's Liver
i Tone is prefectly safe and gives bet- j
! ter results," says W. G. Maves.*
I Dodson's Liver Tone is personally

were unnatural and annoyed me
greatly. I consulted several physicians
and tried a number of kidney
