FRIDAY. MARCH 1912
OUR PRINTING PLANT
We havt* none yet. If we had
one. we would employ a printer.
One person cannot d<> all the work
of ^fttiiifrr out an all home print
paper, provided it is a stood one.
We wish we were able to own a
plant at Maramec, so we could
give employment to one more in-
dividual. but we have none. Of
course, we are compelled to hire'
our paper printed. We would!
have to hire a printer to do the
work, if we owned the plant. So
it is a case of employing assist-,
ance anyhow. Well, who is kick- j
ing about it? We are fairly well j
satisfied ourselves. Our readers [
want a live paper. They do not
care in which building the paper
is printed, or in which town, forj
that matter. Our advertisers do
not care anything about it so long j
as their advertisement is attrac |
tive, and the paper has a good
home circulation. They want their I
advertisements to go before a |
great many readers, so that they!
will get returns for their invest-
ment in advertising. The post
master is interested to the extent [
of foreign postage. Maramec (
postmaster gets his out of the.
Monitor. There is no one else f
left to kick but a printer who;
wants a job. Well, we have had
hut one application, and that wasj
a printer from another town. Who
kicks then? Well, thats an easy,
one. A few papers in neighbor-
ing towns are predicting a P
"starve out" and telling about,
foreign prints, ete. Now. brother 1
editors .just take a look at your]
own paper. Where is halt ot it
printed? Honestly, now. haven t
you bought your paper partly
printed and not even printed in
your own county .' You gave some
one in some foreign city the job
of printing half of your paper.
"Oh," you say. "we can do job
work for our people." So can
we. We take our customers' job
work early in the morning and
furnish him the goods neatly done
next morning. The facts are: we
are liberally patronized by most
of our business men. The Moni-
tor expects to grow in size, ap-
pearance and usefulness in Mara-

MRS. FRANK ANDERSON.

Thousands of children in the
United States who are suffering
from attacks of epilepsy are a
burden and sorrow to their parents,
who would give anything to restore
health to the sufferers.
Dr. Mile*' Nervine
is one of the best remedies known
for this affliction. It has proven
beneticia! in thousands of cases
and those who have u>ed it have
the greatest faith in it It is not
a "cure-all." but a reliable remedy
for nervous diseases. You need
not hesitate to give it a trial.

A consolidated school district
should be organized southwest of
town. If you want it for next
winter, better wt busy.
There was a time when the
man of the family was the farm-
er, the shoe maker, family doctor,
his own lawyer, etc. It is said |
that these days are past, and that
we arc living in an age of special j
ist. The farmer now depends up j
on the dentist to do the dental |
work, the manufacturer to make
the shoes and elothing. the doe
tor to treat all family ill*, the
barber to shave him. the black ;
smith to do his amitb work, the
lawyer to give legal advice, and (
so on-and on. People are busy in 1
their own endeavor, yet some pen j
pie say that we should Imve re I
rail of judges. In other words
the citizens should take the time, |
trouble and expense of studying
eases on whie lithe judge ill ques-
tion has passed and decide wlieth
er or not he should be retained.
We are aure that the ordinary citi-
zen does not desire sueli a law at
present. What we want is the
IMjpulsr election of judges for a
term of years instead of appoint-
ment for life.
Kditor Maramec Monitor:—We
are nearly to the end of our

Life is a funny proposition
thing considered in employing
teachers. Nepotism, or favoritism
polities or relig;, n, should not be
taken into consideration by the
school board. Efficiency, impar-
tiality, duty well done, services
rendered, is our idea of what we)
should expect of our teachers So
far as we know, our principal and
teachers during this term, now
drawing to a close, have filled
those requirements and have set
an example worthy of emulation.
