THE THREE CLASSES. There are three classes of people a newspaper man holds dear—the quainted with Mr. Cooper we failed prompt paying subscribers, the per- to recognize him, and he being of a son who sends or hand« in an item .timid, reserved nature, failed to or a write up of some local affair, and the business ma. vvho brings in the copy for his ad be re prfvs day. There may be others d- Irving mention, but these ari in a lass

THE SCHOOL EDDITION. Today we present THE DESPATCH readers with the "'long talked about'' school edition. We've no appologies to offer. It' speaks for itself! So does the patronage of the issue! We're not knocking—we belong to the Booster club! In fact we feel like we were the whole club with the bark all peeled off. We hope every one will find something good in the issue, but if any of you fail to do so, remember it didn't cost you very mucb and you have less cause to kick about it. If the usual amount of local newe is lacking in the issue it may be possible that you are as much to blame as the editor. Again we hope you will find some pleasure in this week's itsue if not in oneway th^n another.

IN A BUSIES ^Y'
Get at^tfap.fl-ght question for~?&&town likeycu would any business proposition that you are already or about to become interested in. Figure out the cost—the cost to instal and maintain it, and then you are getting where a decision can be made and done sensibly. Every citizen of the town knows we can't do without lights, at least we can't afford to do without them scarcely at any cost, and we should consider the matter very seriously and earnestly before we vote against the present proposition to secure electric juice for lighting the streets of Waynetown from Crawfordsville. If its the best and the only way. let's have it. Be careful that you turn down no good thing for old Waynetown.
JUST TAKE A WALK.
The following word jingle by yur Uncle Walt, is more than a space filler—a little more. Take time to read it: "When your feeling sore aud fussy, prone jto reel off language cussy that would shame a Newgate hussy, take awalk when I'm mad I walk ten meters all day my anger peters peace will come to him who teeters round a block. When the world seems dark and dreary as a prison in Silbery, and your heart is sad and weary, take a walk. Fate thrown bricks instead of posies, and she hits you squarely where your nose is? Then comfort comes to him who moseys round a block. If your wife has made a blunder and you feel like raising thunder your ancestral rooftree under, take a walk all the care your wife's enduring, all the ills (•he's daily curing you'll remember while your touring round a block. If the kids pest in rolling you by -whooping and turmoiling, till you feel your temper spoiling, take a walk you'll be fat less grieved and graveled and your ire will be unravelei by the time that you have traveled round a block. Would you rant some, as a token that your •manly heart is broken? Leave the bitter word unspoken—taken a walk you'll be glad, so glad you scooted leaving your old horn untooted, by .the time you have pirooted round a block," ,(
introduce himself, ani hence we did not extend the brotherly welcome we would have done had he introduced himself as the "bigmit" of the Hillsboro Times. W. C. Bowers, who recently retired from active newspaper life on the Times, ,?ith something like a million or two—to.get yet— called in the evening. As soon as winter is over and the weather becomes settled, 'Mr. Bowers anticiprtes a few months travel in foreign lands,—probably to the scenic wild3 of Colorado. We are alway glad to welcome the brethren. The latch string at this office is always on the outside boys Come agian, come whenever you can and we shall be glad to extend a welcome and the key to the brst town on earth.
The school edition- at last! As a usual thing a knock doesn't hit!
You vote right when you vote for lights I Silence is never as good as a good answer!
It'll be a "good old summer time" just the same! Keep your own counsel and you'll never need a lawyer!
He caiydQ the best v?o'rk who
knows bow to work best! Very few people live long enough to correct their mistakes!
Brood over your own troubles if you want to hatch out more! The man who can smile hut wont, cheats others and robs himself!
Other towns are having band concerts and like features of entertainment!
Lessons learned in the school of experience are always good for a hundred per cent grade!
It doe3 not matter how clumsy your feet are it they are pointed in the right direction and moving.
The booster who boosts is a boost er but the booster who simply wears the name deceives no one!
Chose the just man! The partial man may not always be partial to you, but the just man is always just.
Now is the time t" begin to save up for that summer vacation—Jvir ter is thought to be abort over once more!
OUREDIFOR FRIENDS. The Foutaln County Commencement.

several of our editor friends came to see the big show and of course paid this office a frienly visit while here.
the first to call on us was
James S. Hitchcock of the Crawfordsville Review Editor C. M. Berry of the Veedersburg News was $1.00 atao one of them and B. J. Merrell
who is guiding the business end of i_ the Crawfordeville Review also dropped in for a little chat in the to get a few pointers on how a really successful newspaper is
made
that way. We are told that Brother Cooper of the Hillsboro Times, was in town and paid us a jvisit some time during the day but as we are not personally ac-
When putting in good word for electric lights don't forget to drop a 'onSinhint that Main and Vine streets must be paved also!
If the undertaker makes a showing in this life some body must die and fact is some people ought to die. The inovation it wou Id make would be good a thing.
When you vote for lights you don't
VDte
a penny more taxes but
you do vote for more and better lights than the town ever had under the old system and at a saving cost to the town. This is a fact!
The great majority of people who do not attend church on Sunday do not attend simply because they do not want to. That's the truth in the matter and what's the use to beat about the bush in the matter!
Some people are so cowardly that they are afraid to live and others are so cowardly they are afraid to die. But between these
The commencement exercises of
the Fountain County schools have been change from the 12th to TUPSday, June the 17th. County Superintendent Livengood id: trouble in getting the speaker he wanted for the occasion on the date as first given out and changpd it to suit the speaker. Prof. W. W. Parsons, president of the Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute has been secured to give the address. With favorable weather it will be held on the Covington fair grounds. The Newtown ban has been employed to furnish the music for the occasion. There are one hundred and twenty-six graduates.
Fonrth at the County Seat. Crawfordsville will have the only Fourth of July celebration in Montgomery county this year and the Lodge of Elks of that city have the affair in hand and are working hard to make the biggest ever known in this section.
Jimmy Ward, world famous aviator, has been secured by special arrangement, and he will make two or more flights in his Curtiss bi plane on that day. A contract has been made with Mr. Ward which makes it certain that he will fly, so there will be no disappointment for those who go to the county seat to see a ieal aeroplane in action. Mr. Ward holds world's records for long distance and endurance flights and his appearance at Crawfordsville is arousing great interest.
Band music will be a feature of the day. There will be concerts from early morning until late at night. Automobile and motor cycle races, a gorgeous display of fireworks, free amusement of various kinds and other attractions which are being planned will mike the day a bu.=y but happy one for those who go to Crawfordsville July 4.
June Making Fine Record. June made a "good" start toward upholding Indiana's record for fire losses. Incomplete reports for the first five days, received by E Longley, state fire marshal, showing a total loss of 8133,200. There were 64 fires. This is very close to the record made during May when the approximate daily loss by fire was around $30,000. For the week enduring June 5, taking in the last two days of May, 84 fires were reported, with a total loss of $169,210. One significant feature of the investigation of the causes of fires during that period, is the large number attributed to "adjoining fires" Twenty-seven of the 84 fires were caused by the burning of nearby or adjoining buildings. "This demonstrates," says. Fire Marshal Longley, "that the danger of fire is two-fold. Not only may fire occur on your own premises, but you are in constant danger of fire from adjoining buildings. It is clear, then that it is every man's concern to be sure that fire hazards are eliminated throughout his entire community. Wherever there is a hazardous condition, the buildings on all sides of it are in peril." Twelve fires were classed as being of unknown
Eight were caused by de
fective flues. Seven of the fires are believed to be of incendiary origin, while six were caused by carelessness with matches and lighted cigars. Explosions caused five fires and lightning the same number. Sparks from chimneys caused four fires. Stoves set fire to four properties and spontaneous combustion, two. One "fire was caused by defective wiring and there were three of miscellaneous character. One of these occured in a South Bend "suititarium" where brimstone, in the pocket of a coat which was being cleaned, became ignited and set fire to gasoline in a tank.
Mrs. Lizzie Vancendt, of Crawfordsville, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Beck Thursday and Friday.
The Waynetown horseshow was
two ex- certainly a hummer. The day was
tremes the vast majority of people ideal and a big crowd was in attenview life healthily, perform cheer- dance to which Hillsboro contributfuily their daily tasks, meet adversity bravely, live true and up-lifting
ed a large share. Mayor Lew Shanks of Indianapolis did the hon-
lives, and in the sunset of earthly ors of the day as Judge.kr: The fast life meet the future with tranquility horse racing was a special feature, and hope, —Hillsboro Times. fc?
