"Press Comments."
When we read such comments as

Buying Hay.
It is time for the farmers to stop
buying hay when so much good hay
can be grown on their own lands
at a rtiero nominal cost and at the
same timo rest and improve the
land. We call attention to an arti"
cle on grasses in another column of
this issue. If a farmer will simply
spead two or three loads of stable
manure on a level piece of ground,
then plow it in and in two or t^iree
weeks piew again, he can, without
sowing a seed, cut from this land
two or throe tons of good crab grass
hay, worth 15 or 20 dollars per ton.
Try it.

Our School Column.
I It is truly gratifying to note the
| growing and increased interest taken
. in our school column by the teach|crs
and pupils of the different
schools throughout the county. Wc
are also pleased to notice a decided
improvement in the composition
and style of the writings which
shows the development we were so
anxious to bring about by the opening
of our school column to the
schools of tho county. Certainly
there, can lu: nothing more encouraging
to teacher and pupil than to
have a journal take an interest in
the progress of lioth in carrying out
the aim and object of every such an
institution. It would he well for
these schools to keep a tile of The
Times for' future reference.

Rubber
Is one of the most useful of nature's
products. The rubber baby rattle

rubljor balloon interests the little
girl. A rubber sling shot is a joy

a groat, practical use as well as a
source of childish pleasure. That
little rubher tip on your pencil end
is of great use to you daily. A rubber
tire on on a lover's buggy adds ,.
a hundred per cent, to the joys of
| a ride with his best girl. The rubber
springs on a Pullman car add a
hundred per cent, to the comfort,
of a journey by rail. Rublxr overshoes
and a rubber coat givo a man
thorough protection in a driving

and blessing. We mention one
more case: A Rubber Hot Water
Bottle is a l>oon to sufferers. A hot
. brick would do some good, but it is
, hard to handle. A man drops a
.hot brick. A rubber hot water
lx>ttle is not hard to handle. Moreover,
it lies elose to the hurt, and
so persuades the pain to get out.
