The Fort Wayne News continues to attock Mayor liosey each evening I and evidently without much real: cause. Their display of ven >mous politics is so apparent that it is the general belief they are hurting their own cause. Even a public offi er of oposite political faith should have a chance and the public likes a quare deal. While it is regretted that Mr. Xeizer was unable to appear here last evening on account of illness, lie has promised to come later, and we will look forward to his visit with the knowledge that his address v ill he a treat in store. Annouutem nt of the date will be made in a short time. In th meanwhih hi* many friends are hoping for his speedy and complete recovery. McCray wins his fight to spend million:, on the i'etidleton reformatory, at least he took the first round on a party vole of 49 to ij and will probably drive through the hoc ;e and senate. Half of those voting with him are against the proposition but are doing so because the party leash has been used, a sorry condition in government affairs hut not unusual. At that, the fight is not over, and when some of the boys he tr from home, they may think diff irently about voting the people's money away in useless fashion. The opening of Dayton Avc. from j Seventh to Ninth street marks a new territory which should build up ra-1 pidly and become a real improvement to the city. The G.

The \ contracts last , year wore for a five dollar per ton guarantee with a bonus to be figured on the basis of the price of sugar in New York City. This averaged for four months, gave each grower an additional $1.87 per ton. Tile contract for this year is even more liberal. the guarantee being for six dollars per ton and the bonus double that of this year, assuring each beet

farmer of excellent returns this year if he gets an avorage crop. The outlook for a large acreage is excellent, and the managers of the plant anticipate a long campaign next autumn and—here's hoping. The telephone company is treati ing you with all fairness, and if you j have any objections to the proposed improvement which will give you the best service in the land at a slightly increased cost, you should * say so now, or forever keep quiet about it. The new layout will cost many thousand dollars. This money will of course have to be invested, and the company must have a return thereon. If you expect anything else, you are kidding yourself and it’s right they should have it. They ask only a net return of seven per cent which would just about meet interest charges so that we can see nothing wrong about it provided, of course, that you want the new and up-to-date plant and service. Anyway, its's up to you and the telephone company desires a fair and honest opinion. Give them yours - ,— • Have you given up ever getting the dirt from the wrinkles in your hands —Try Blue Devil. 5-7*9 CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our beloved father and husband.

M A6flN¥^C / 'HJMN A fool there was and he wouldn’t wear (Een as you and I) His overcoat when the day was fair. Oh, colds were nothing, he'd declare. (Even as you and I) A fool there was and he caught the flu. (Even as you and 1) And every breath he sneezed ker-choo They fed him on hot gruel stew (Even as you and I) A fool there was but they made him well, (Even as you and I) And since they pulled him back from —well. He wears his coat without a yell. (Even as you and I) A. W. E. A LITTLE LOVE IS A DANGEROUS THING One grievance against love is that by the time we learn to know it, many of us are too old to appreriate It. TAKE YOUR PICK So far as we know there are just two ways of dying by gas: Blowiug It Out. and Stepping On it. Those who chooe the former will probably save their heirs considerable expense. STAN says: “The more you hear some people talk, the more convinced you become that all the bull in the world is not for rolling your own.” THE NURSE One nurse, who understands her biz, with careful touch and pleasant phiz, can chase away more human ills than forty doctors with their pills. She camps beside your bed of pain until you're well and strong again; she plucks you from the Stygian shore and boosts you into life once more. The doctor feeds you pellets brown and capsules that are hard to down; he feels your pulse and tests your heart, then gives you bitters strong and swart. Then off he jogs to other guys and feeds them on calomel pies; then on tomorrow back he'll stalk and change your dope to jabberwock. But by your bed the nurse remains to ease your body’s racking pains; she knows just what to do and when to ease a boil or nip a wen. She calms you when you toss about and puts cold cloths upon your snout. Oh. Job would not have cussed so worse if he liad only had a nurse. And when at last she peacefully dies her soul will mount up to the skies. St. Peter, sitting at the gate, will say, “Pass in, you need not wait A jewelled harp and diamond crown await each nurse that comes to town” I’LL SAY SHE’S FRESH (From Ft. Branch. Ind., Times) FOR SALE—A fresh cow; gives five gallons of milk a day and a Leif er. See John Schoot. AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY Dear Editor: Dr. Graves is making himself entirely too agreeable to my Queenie. What would you advise me to do? Send an apple every morning. THERE ARE LOTS OF US You've got me going, Little Girl, I don’t know where I’m at; There is no other girl like you, And I thank Heaven for that. PRUNES, WE’D SAY if I should kiss your crimson lips. And in fond embrace, your form should crush; Would you think ue full of love, my dear, Or merely full of mush? . IOWA COLLEGE GETS GIFT OF 17,000 INSECTS On Armistice Day I could probably have endowed Harvard and a couple of business colleges, and still have had enough to read.
