FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1908.
GET BUSY.
It's easy to keep a town clean if everybody will do their part! Clean well kept lawns, streets and alleys, will attract the attention of strangers.] marvelous, yet simple.
OLD BUT GOOD.
Some newspapers are terrible liars, In writing of a cyclone out west one of them said it turned a well inside out, a cellar upside down, moved a township line, blew the staves out of a whisky barrel and left nothing but the bunghole, changed the day of the week, blew a mortgage off a farm, blew all the cracks out of a fence, and knocked the wind out of a politician.
ONE POINT SETTLED.
At least one thing was fully settled at the meeting of the advisory board of the township and the town school trustees Saturday, and that is that the school accomodations of the town and township are not up to the standard and that something should, be done. This is something gained in the right direction. Now if it can be decided what should be done, how to do it and then do it, the rest will be easy enough.
THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
the fires, hunt the scissors to clip articles, dodge the bills and dun delinquents, take cussing3 and tell subscribers he needs money. These area few of the things a country editor has to contend with and yet he should not make mistakes in his papef while attending to such minor details, at the same time living on ox tail soup, sunshine, wind pudding and imagination, with anticipation for dessert, old shoes and no collar, a patch on the equator of his pants, and at the same time turning a smiling countenance to the man who is telling him that his paper isn't worth the subscription price."

IMMORTALITY.
The believer who hopes that when life's sun sinks to rest that he will waken to view the rosy flush of an eternal dawn, must find cousolation indeed, in the "old age thoughts" of Victor Hugo. Very beautifully indeed, does this famous French author say: "There are no occult forces. There are only luminous forces. Occult force is chaos, the luminous force is God. Man is an infinite little copy of God this is glory enough fop man. I am a man, an invisible atom, a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand on the shore. Little as I am, I feel the God in me, because I can also bring forth from out of my chaos. I make books, which are creations I feel in myself the future life I am

«ky., The sunshine is on my head. The earth gives me its generous sap, hut heaven lights me with the reflection of unknown worlds. You say the soul is nothing but the re-! suit of bodily powers. Why then, is my soul more luminous when my-:, bodily powers begin to fail? Winter .r is on my head and eternal spring is:, in my heart. There I breathe at 1 this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets and the roses as at twenty years ago. The nearer I approach the end the plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is

Uniform the band I The old town boometh! Oil up the lawn mower! Bring on that interurban! Taxpayingtime will soon be past! And the skating continues good— at the rink!
If every one got their just dues THE DESPATCH wouldn't have so many delinquents on subscription!
It's all over with March but don't get too confiding in April,— you never can tell what'11 happen next!
Haven't heard any one say anything about confidence being "scared" out of old Waynetown,

It is a fairy
a century I have been writing my thoughts, in prose and verse, histor}% philosophy, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode and song.19 I have tried all, but I feel that I have not said a thousandth part of what is in me. When I go down to the grave I can say, like many others, I have finished my day's work but I cannot say I have finished my life. My days will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight to open on the dawn."

^•"Sortie menSber of the journalistic craft after thinking the matter over seridusly sums it up this way: "The editor of a country newspaper has no business to make mistakes. He has no business to ever get anything into his paper that people do not like. He ought to know what would suit each individual or he ought to take each item before it is published and let the person whom it concerns censor it. An editor has plenty of time to do this, as all he has to do is to hunt news, set type, pen short items and hustle advertising, press the papers, fold them and mail them, write wrappers, talk to visitors and distribute type, read proofs, correct mistakes, split wood (when there's any to split), build have ye!
one is looking! The best remedy for a wrong done you is to forget it.
We all laugh best when the laugh is on some one else! Why let the thorns worry you when you have the rose!
Some men see their opportunity by looking behind them! The political bee is doing ar pretty good job buzzing in Wayne township just now. 1 Easter Sunday i& oweeks away, and that Easter hat—well it can't hardly wait!
Working your gabber over time grows tiresome to your friends and results in ho good to yourself.
We've got the band and the band stand—just let the weather settle down and you'll hear something!
Then when a fellow has more
than
°ne P^r of skates on at a tnne he is liable to strike out in too many angles at the same time!
And too, writing too many letters is much like talkiny too much, unless they are of a character that your name puts them above suspicion!
You'll have to stand it,'fellers! House cleaning is bound to come— you can tell it by the nervousness of the femenine management of the household.
It was Ruskin who said: "In all the things of the world, the men who look for the crooked will see the crooked, and the men who look for the straight will see the straight.''
No, the ruling of the postal department hasn't anything to do with you borrowing your neighbor's paper. You are still at liberty to keep it up as long as you please—providing your neighbor doesn't tire of it and hide the paper!
Good old town and she's growing better every day, too! More grain, more stock and more of everything is sold in Waynetown than in any of the smaller towns in this section of the state, and our business men are doing a correspondingly larger business, too.
One dollar pays a whole year's subscription to THE DESPATCH, but some people seem to only run across a dollar once every two to five years and then think they have done wonderfully well and the editor ought to feel mighty grateful to
