Some of our exchanges have made mention of the fact that the farmers living along the lines of rural routes have contributed a bushel or so of corn to the carriers, says the Rock Port Journal.

This is a suggestion that might well be acted upon by the patrons of every rural route. The carriers have a goverment job, but it is by no means a snap." It takes a good deal of management to make both ends meet when they are obliged to keep three horses and buy all the necessary provisions at the market price. The carriers of our country have gone over their routes during inclement weather at a great inconvenience, and are always faithful in the preformance of their duties A bushel of corn or so given to the carrier would hardiy be missed by the farmer, but it would be a great saving in the expense of horse feed and the generous act would certainly be appreciated by the faithful mail man. The Taxpayer. I am the blithe and cheerful skate who always has to pay the freight.

I labor in the heat and dirt, and wear a faded flannel shirt, and eat my dinner from a pail, and pick my molars with a nail, use my whiskers if I'd brush from off my chin the corn meal mush. And well dressed sports come up and say: "Wie Gehts, my wortl.y friend, good good day! We run for office, and we hoe that you will harken to oqr dope, and help elect us on the day when all the voters put uji hay. And if we win we'll lift the tax that's burdening the workers' backs. It is our sweetest hope and dream, to fill with mince pie and ice cream, and cod fish balls and pickled whale, the laborers' tin dinner pai'. sturdy toiler, vote for us, and we will raise the blambest fuss, and put up forty kinds of fights, until we've got jou all your rights."

Mrs; Amby daugh When Teddv said he would 'ter, May, left batu relay night Twenty-One So you are 21? You are a man. Did you ever think, son, how much it has cost to make a man of you? Some one has figured up the cost in money of rearing a child. He say 8 to bring a man to legal age, care for him and educate him costs ($25,000.) Which is a lot of money to put in flesh and blood. But that isn't all. You have cost your father hard knocks and short dinners and worry and gray streaks in his hair.

And your mother ah, boy; you will never know. You have cost her days and nights of anxiety wrinkles in her dear face and heartaches and sacrifice. It has been expensive to grow you, but if you are worth what you think you are, you are worth all you cost and much, much more. Be sure of this. While father does not say much, but "Hello, son," way down deep in his tough, staunch heart he thinks you are the finest ever.

And as for the little mother she can not keep her love and pride for you oat of her eyes. Sometime you must step into your father's shoes. He wouldn't like you to call him old, but just the same he isn't as young as he used to be. You see young man, he has been working hard for more than twenty years to help you. And already your mother is beginning to lean on you.

Your father has done fairly well, but you can do better. You may not think so, but he does. He has given you a better chance than he had. In many ways you can begin where he left off. He expects a good deal of you and that is why he tried to make a man of you.

The world will try you out. It will put to the test every fiber in you. But if you are made of good stuff once the load is fairly strapped on your young shoulders, you will carry it and scarcely feel it if only there be willing and cheerful mind.

A lady who understands advertising says "No lady wishes to be looked upon as a shopping fiend; she does not care to go into a store and have a merchant show all of his stock in order to find it whether he keeps what she wants to purchase or whether the article is sold at a price she can afford. It is much easier and pleasanter to look through the advertisements of a newspaper than it is to bore the clerks and waste her own time. Next to.

the local items, the advertisements in a paper stating articles for sale with prices, will keep much of the money that goes to tho cities at home. 'Ex. Mrs. -Bert Redman, went to Gage, Oklahoma, Saturday evening to visit herson, Shelby Mann and family. Wm.

The most influential citizens in building up a town are not always the The poorest resident of Moline can do much. toward making it popular and progressive merely by the right kind of talk. Don't be afraid to spend money for the improvement of the town. Every dollar spent in public im provements more than doubles the value of every piece of property.

Loyal patriotic citizens are the greatest asset that any town can have and do more for its upbuilding than any other thing. That is what has kept Moline in the front ranks of the smallei cities of the next month. Did you ever notice that the difference between a prosperous town and a dead one is that the citizens of the one take every opportunity of letting outsiders know its good points while the citizens of the other lets them find out for themselves if they can.
