To those who nave so promptly responded, we tender our sincere thanks. To those who have not, we wish to sound a note of warning. We must hear from you in.

some sbape or form, and that soon. Business Locals. One of the beat ways to reach the reading public for those who have any- thing to sell or those wishing to chase is to patronize THE ADVOCATE's business local columns.

cerved results in the past or they would not keep at it. What it has done for them, it will do for you.

These adepts in the art of delving into the wonders of the future have exhibited their powers in the prin- cipal cities in this country and have scored a phenomenal success wherever they have appeared.

There are others whom we have probably missed but if so we are sorry, 88 we feel that we would like to include them all in this little writeup. There they are, and from our know.

ledge and acquaintance with them we think that they are as bright intelligent well behaved lot of young ladies and gentlemen as ever left any small city to pursue their studies in the higher institutions. They are not only a credit to themselves but will prove to be an honor to our city and show that they have bad the proper home training which makes good men and women. Of course there are isolated cases where the home training has been just as it should be and yet our children have gone wrong, but fathers and mothers, let us not despair, for if we have planted the proper seed in the minds of our young children they may for a time seem to lay dormant and other seeds sprout and seemingly flourish, yet in most cases the good seed will in the end subdue them and the subject will emerge a more perfect man or woman although the scars be left. From what we can learn the most of the students leaving have not as yet fully determined what they will take up as life work after they have finisbed this corrse. In our estimation, from observation, this is a mistake that many of the middle class make in pursuing their studies.

They should have 90 object and apply their studies to that end. An education without an object has proved in many cases worse than useless, AR it untits those having it for any of the common pursuits of life and they become wanderers upon the face of the earth, commonly called tramps, But the pursuit of an education with an object at its end is never finished but it ennobles the man or woman while in its pursuit and in the end places them on A plane which has a rise which they will always be trying to surmount.

JOHN HARDING, Chairman. Harrison Mutual Burial Association. For information of some members, we wish to say that the association is al right. Some are asking why we have so few assessments. "Surely not many in it; or, is it dying out?" No it is not dying.

We are going to make it live and grow. We don't want very many assessments. We think we have a nice association, not as large as in the larger towns, but it is about in proportion, and to make it good and strong, we want to get more members. Then we can give much better benefite when the death angel visits the family circle. A great mujority of the members pay their assessments willingly and gladly, but we have a few names and families on our books who have not paid.

We would earnestly urge them to come and be reinstated and be right with the association. We know some of them do not need it but they will be helping those who do, To those who may solicit members, we want to say that they must go strictly by the rules and bylaws as to age limit, general health, etc, S.
