All are limited to a rather restricted field and some-' times have lost confidence in themselves when they have been impressed by the large circulations of the big city dailies and their great spheres of influence. But of times things bob up that stiffen the editor’s backbone and show him that the influence of his paper in his locality is stronger -than that oX any other. A notable instance has just been passed through in Kenucky. ‘ There were } two amendments to constitution relating to school matters to be voted upon at a general election. Every daily paper in the state supported the amendments and with few exceptions, the country weeklies fought them. And, with only one seventh as many• issues in which to tell the people what they thought about the. subjects, the weeklies won by ■ ■taprt 50,000 votes. There was ; trace of partisanship in the election so the defeat of the | amendments is not attributed to any force but that of the small;

town papers. The ‘country editors’ are jubilant, not alone ever the defeat of the amendments, but because they have proved that their papers are stronger than any other in their respective localities and that their people are more apt to b( lieve what is said by one of their own number than they are the arguments of Some one in a far off city who in .many inand irrespective of his own constances is paid for his service vidtions, can write equally well on either side of a question. o o « — We should envy not the man who trims himself to suit every occasion.

His purpose, he states, is to help reduce the cost of farming so that farmers can make a profit. C. R. Hollett, local Fordson dealer, is expecting a big selling year on the basis of this reduction in the price of tractors, especially during the next few weeks. He is planning his selling campaign accordingly and will use various means of bringing tractor/information to the attention so farmers. 411 o HIDE HIS SKATES James T.

and gave his mother the easy chair r when she came into the room; the boy who refused to laugh when a dirty story was told, and who looked upon his sister as his special charge when they were out in company. The young fellows who wear dog-caps on the sides of their heads and stand about on the street corners, talking of somebody’s sister and puffing smoke through their noses, are as different from the old-fashioned boy as day is from night. Can’t you remember when there were a lot of old-fashioned boys in Syracuse? They swam in the lakes and the creek and they played the innocent pranks of boyhoed. Not always gentle, but always respectful. They all called the older men Mr. So and So, and they lifted their hats to the ladies. They worked for their spending money and generally helped mother with a contribution toward the household expenses on Saturday night. We just don’t seem to get used to this turkey-trot, shimmy, slangy lack of respect for anybody or anything era. If we were a girl we’d tie a can to some of these nincompoops that come sneaking around here. We would rather be a bachelor girl for a thousand and or,e years than to tie up to the no-account young man that clutters the earth today. We do not say there are no clean, earnest, industrious young men in Syracuse. There are —and you know them as well as we do. o PUBLIC SALE On behalf of the undersigned, 'Henry Kolberg will sell at public auction on the farm known as the John Hamman farm | mile north of Africa school house and 1 mile south of Buttermilk Point, the, following listed articles, beginning promptly at 10 o’clock, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15 Cattle'.—Cow fresh by Mar. 1; heifer 1 year old.
