•To rime with any hopefulness.
To gain a prize of usefulness,
Not expressing bitterness.
I start my rhyme in eagerness.

Avoiding thoughts of emptyness.
Thus avoiding foolishness.
Jarred by thoughts of wantonness.

Thereby get my happiness.

and how did you answer if sueh is

thoroughly, or do you merely glance
over the local news items which are
of particular interest to you? Did
you ever stop to consider that there
is much interesting news to he gain
ed by reading the advertisements in
your paper, you might consider that
a portion of the paper non-essential,
but such is not the case, regardless

Did you ever have occasion to be
talking to others and some one
would turn the conversation into
channels of which you were not
familiar on account of your neglect
to read thoroughly the interesting
happenings of the world about you.
if you have had such an incident to
present itself to you then you will
remember the embarassment which
you experienced when one of the
party asked for your opinion on
the question and you had to admit
that you were not familiar with the

for you because you realized that
P was a question which every
citizen should be conversant with,
hut which you had failed to do.
The newspapers of the country to
day are the real educators of the
nation, and have been recognized as
such for many years, ‘tls true there
are some few papers throughout the
nation which instead of publishing
the news, attempt to bring before
the public eye imaginary greivances
of no consequence and which are
more harmful than helpful, but
! that kind of paper is scarce and is
! generally recognized by the reading
j public as a publication of agitation
| with no good intended for any one.
j not ever the paper Itself.
Every Rood citizen is doinR nis
country a service as well as him
self and family when he takes the
home town paper and reads the
pages from start to finish without
omitting one single item, informa-;
tion is what the world thrives on.
by being familiar with what takes
place in other parts of the world
besides your immediate surround

emergency when you might he call

locations of which you have read

Not as a comparison, but as a
contrast, if you happen to know two
persons, one who reads the news of
the world with interest and one who
cares nothing for what happens in
other parts of the world, arrange to
have those two persons meet and
after starting a conversation drop
out yourself and note how quickly
you will arrive at a decision as to
which person is the superior in
every way to the other.
The schools and colleges of the
country are the greatest preparatory
Institutions known for fitting on*»
for the school of life, but with out
the newspaper the education of the
