A Test of Local Option Law.

This ' is the last saloon license in this w -d to ! expire since the blanket remons ance was filed last larch, The sufficiercy of the remonstrance has never been c m tested here and all the saloons in the ward closed as their license expired.

HELP THE LECTURE COURSE. 3 Not Receiving The Patronage It 1 Deserves. YAu will be fair minded enough to admit Ithat a good lecture course is an 1 elevating influence for any com nunity won’t you? You also will agree that a courtle of five high class attractions for $1,501 including reserved seats, is as t chea® as could be expected in a com- . munily of this size where the season ticket® are necessarily limited to a comparatively small number. Admitting these two leading pointe, then why is it that y»u haven’t bought a season ticket for yoAirself or others of your family? If youlhaven’t the money to spare, very well, Wien you are excusable on that point. Ilf you can afford to buy a season ticket tout don’t care to encourage the । lecture! course, then it is up to you, we have clothing more to say. But it should tie remembered that every citizen । owes tile community in which he lives I certainJduties that he has no right to j shirk. R| *, If y r can afford to encourage this worth erprise in a financial way you shop |meSne not fail to do so, for mly getting your money’s we 149 it u UlOVbluenl, that will ti levate the intellectual and amuse uterests of the town, it is no enough to say that you will buy singly admission tickets instead of season tic rets, for that does not put the lecture ct urse upon a successful and silid footi Ig. The men who have generously bi eked this enterprise and assumed thi financial responsibility necessary to: guarantee a lecture course for Walkerton are hardly receiving the consideration and encouragement that is due them. Unless more people thaw out a littl i and take tickets for the remainder । f the season, we predict that Walkerton will have no lecture course next season and it won’t deserve any. When th J Presbyterian ladies, who have charg )of the sale of tickets, call upon you again you will be doing the right thing: by opening up your heart and buying*)season tickets. You can’t go wrong on that. Dor’t Be a Knocker. If there is I chgtice to boom business, boom it. Doi’t be a knocker. Don’t pull a long face. Hope a bit. Get a smile on you. Hold up your head. Get a hold with both ha ids. Then pull. Bury your hatchet. Hidi your little hammer. When I a stranger drips in tell him this is the greatest towm on earth. It is. Don’t get mulish. Don't roast. Be jolly. Get popular. It’eldead easy. Help yourself along. Push y\ur friend with you. Soon you’ll have » whole procession. Be a good fello^Mlpl| No man evL.Jjdlped himself by knocking other peoAa down. No man ever ' got rich tryingAto make people believe 1 that he was th^only good man on earth. You can’t ciiml* the ladder of fame by stepping on otfrlr pwople’e C 'rns. They're ’ their corns; not yours. And they’re tender. Keep off~t Ue corns. All men are not alike. Once in a while you may find jne who is very much alike. Butaoms are different. You're not the only shi-t in the wash. If you don't like their i ityle let ’em alone. Don’t knock. Y'ou’llget used to it. There's no end of fun in minding your own busi- I ness. And it r lakes other people like j you better. I etter have others gel j stuck on you thin get stuck on your-' self.

North Liberty, Ind., Oct. 10, 1908. North Liberty Cement Tile Factory, North Liberty, Ind., Sir:—l take great pleasure in sending you my testimony in regard to your cement tile. I have been a ditcher for 25 years and have laid about 30,000 rods of tile. This year I have laid about 25,000 feet of tile; 16,500 feet of these were your cement : tile and of this amount 15,500 feet were I for Mr. Albert Hostetler, who lives near j North Liberty. | About May 1 this year I laid my first I cement tile, and for the first 3,000 I coni demned the tile and advised my friends not to use them. But I learned that they are more porous to water than clay tile; they improve with age, and I find that after being placed in the ground but a short time they become much harder. So now I believe they are absolutely the best drain tile on the market. I can heartily recommend them to anyone wanting a good, first class drain tile. Respectfully yours, Isaiah Steele.
