Several years ago out in the little town of Waukon, lowa, was inaugurated a week, Feb.. 21 to 26, during which it was agreed by the citizens to wipe off the books of the merchants and other business men all old accounts. During the initial celebration of National Pay-Up week in this little lowa town old accounts to the amount of $.10,000 are said to have been Squared: thus creating a-much more prosperous and desirable community in which to reside. Think-it over, Mr. Reader, and then la your plans to take an active parr in National Pay-Dp week this year. ■ Then 's nothin-: like being square, with; the world and there's no better tithe than Pay-Dp week in Which to ' reach this ideal position.

, The Ki ii-v,Grain < bnipaiiy W ill Be Pleased to Quote Xon Prices! When Ineoi'iKiratetl. Grain raiser, has it r-vef occurred to you ii»a you were in nowise compelled to ac : t the prices that Have been offered to you for grain in Rensselaer, It is no crime .to Offer these prices, but surely it is bad judgment on our pan to. continue accepting them, when w. can do better. And it will now he made possible through the Rensselaer Grain company that is being organized. If we are once in the arms of this •company, then we will be satisfied that all will be equal. • We have no objections as to what you think, but think twice, never sav anything against this coming corporation. Do nothing that will hinder its progress, clear the way, help remove every obstacle from its path, make its existence clear sailing. Do nothing that will help to sink the ship, which is being made to carry us. Run this business? Well, who o 5 earth can, if we can’t? We’re the salt of the earth, farmers, of course we are. Aren’t there other elevators being run by farmers? Inquire and see if the best positions in the city of Rensselaer, the n>)st responsible ones, are not held by people who were fafniers. Suppose that it should not be all clear sailing, we are not expecting, to be carried around on a flowery bed of ease. Reverses we have had them in our private business. If there should be some losses that is no more than has already happened, and we were not organized and incorporated. We can stand them if they could. That will be the Rensselaer Grain company’s business, not outsiders. The shares are fifty dollars each; Remember, west of the Monon depot, south of the track, is the place proposed for the elevator's erection—-Advertise-ment

'''' ''' "’' -” " , . PERSPKf D\ E VIEW OF JASPER < OI'NTY’S PROPOSED NEW HOSPITAL

j None but the illiterate have es- | raped the reams that have been j written about the woeful ineffiiciency l of our governments—national, estate. ! county. cifv, town and village. Nor T•••,. ■■. —■; —; -.. /;. . . —•• —- could one > ,-cape the endless discussions as to how it should be improved; ‘numerous devices for increasing rfliicieney, froin the initiative and referendum to a strongly centralized government } have been suggested and many of them tried. Out of the entire discussion one fact rises clearly and distinctly to mind we have Outgrown our swaddling clothes. A very excellent illustration of this is the increasing importance of the community—a realization of the very important part I be individual has in shaping the destinies of the community, and, at I least as important as this, the part the community itself must play if we are to move forward at all. A few short years ago it was many, many miles to the nearest hospital, and people looked upon the hospital as just about the last station on life’s roadway. Gradually we came to realize the unmeasurable benefits of these w<ihderful institutions, that they were not so much a place of last resort, but more a place where all can have the immediate benefit of the best. Consequently it has come to be a necessity for any well equipped community to possess itself of a proper place to aid and. cure for its citizens who are in need

of repairs, and thus insure the; return of the individual to his rightful place in the community in the ;shortest possible time. It Is a matter of congratulation that the commnnity of people who style themselves as Jasper county, are among j tlie first to provide themselves with this ever ready and willing help in time pf affliction. The hospital board and the architeet selected by them. Mr. Wasson : Coen, have been in c onsultation often in the past few months and after considerable study have evolved What they believe to be the best solution of the problem. Tbe architect is now engaged making the final studies and completing the working drawings, and it is the intention to commence actual work on the building as soon as weather conditions will permit, when work will be carried on as fast as good and proper construction will allow. The style chosen is a modified colonial, as being exceptionally expressive of the semi-civic character which a building of this kind must necessarily possess. The brick will be a light red iii tone and all the trim will be white. The accompanying cut of the architect’s perspective, drawing shows .the building as it will look when completed. The structure will be exceptionally well lighted and ventilated, a corridor open at each end running the length of the building on both floors. An electric elevator will run from' the

He says there is -qujjte a bfineh of aspirants but as four are io be selected he thinks he stands a show of getting by with the game. We rather hope so at least, as we believe lie would make a good senator.
