The first two innings were the only ones when Neustadt looked as though. they had , a team.

I picked the measly thing up right away, And put it back together jtist by a guess. The make-up man he chucked it in the form; The thing went through. Olt! golly, what a storm! "John Smith will sell at 20 Pros- pest Street At the bride's hone, on Wednes- day at high noon, An old daughter, beautiful and sweet, With spotted feet, and coming two. next June," So help me, that's the way the darn thing read. I' saw it, and I nearly fell down dead. That ain't the worst. The thing went on to say: . "Mike Murphy, died last night at half past eight; No fire insurance carried, so they say Loss total, but the value was not great." You'd ought to heard the widow tear and rave— It makes me sick the way some skirts behave! "A son was born to Dr. Richard Vose, A glossy black, . and weight four thousand flat; His mother was by Danby, out of Rose— With gloves to match, and wore a picture hat." The foreman threw three .fits and clawed the air; For once he got so mad he couldn't swear. "The Gregg House burned to ashes Tuesday night, The cause, they say, was soften- ing of the brain; The noble firemen made a gallant fight, In satin duchess, made with fish- tail train." Ain't that the everlasting limit? Gee! The, way the . whole darn bunch jumped on to mel The boss he had me on the carpet, too. Gosh. He can dress a feller to the ground. I sneaked his office feelin mighty blue, When all at once I heard a funny sound, The boss was all alone --I'd give my hat To know just what that guy was laughting at! STOLEN PROPERTY - RECOVERED^ Mr. Isaiah Congrain, a farmer liv- ing a_few miles west of Lucknow, got the surprise of his life last Sun- day when he discovered that some- time • during the previous night a new set of double harness for which he had paid $S' was missing, evi- dently stolen. At the same time it was ascertained that Jim : Young's barn, a mile, west of: -Lucknow, had also been entered and a set of liar- ness stolen. Constable Gundry,. of Goderieli, as- sisted by Constable Douglas of Luck - now, was sooty on' -the trail and by Tuesday night the .harness was re- covered, though the :theives were not definitely identified . • TIie' unoccu- pied farms sand houses scattered all too plentifully " throughout this part, gives . the night hawks all toogood an opportunity to secrete their loot until a favorable opportunity comes to move it further on, There is reason to believe that if the harness referred to had not bean recovered it might now be oe " its way to the tiWensst.of the "jayhawkers," Recently Stuart` Robertson was another vie- - when he. went to use his flax -break; ing machine, he found that the mag- neto of the gas engine and all the. valuable belting had been stolen: We understand that the constables above named have a line oti this property too, and that it will be ra- coyered in the neat future, Now is'the time to• burr , the : oys th e r School Suits at gr at:Uyr red ced prices. b m BOYS' SUITS $6.75 --• Tweed and T-Ionnespunp for the smaller boy, in a nice range of patterns, sizes z$ to a8.

Boosting is a .game, however, that more than one can play. "I boost you, you boost me," isa good motto, and "we will boost together" is an- other good motto. The newspaper man can boost in a very effective - way, even by not "knocking" when people want him to "knock." He 1 can boost a great deal more by com- ing out flat-footed and upholding the good that is in an individual or 1 an institution and leaving unsaid' what he knows to be bad. But when this is done there is no occasion for 1 the person or institution which is 1 boosted to assume that the news- paper has to do it in order to hold its job with the public, as this is indeed a serious mistake. ' A news-! paper man sees and hears more things, bad or good, about individ- uals and about the way institutions are conducted than other individuals,I and it is not because he does` not know that he does not print it. It is because hehas a sense of honor; and sense of feeling, and last but' not least, a love of peace and har- mony in the community. Many things might be printed about out town which would make spicy reading, but why herald such things abroad? The least said the better. The news- paperman, however, has a keen sense of appreciation andis susceptible to praise of the right sort, and to sub- stantial business' support. He ap- preciates the spirit of the man who, when he has a few dollars worth of job printing, says "We've got a printer here at -home who is trying to help our town, and we will in turn help him by giving him the little printing we have to do," This is the true,community spirit, and it counts witthe merchants, with the doctor, with the lawyer and with every bus- iness which draws its daily support from a community, EAST WAWANOSH Mr. and Mrs. Dave Chamney and children a.nct.
