It lias been said and truth
fully too that the ambitious

every man high or low rich

It looked better than a new car after a

the seals entirely dismantled the
motor and rendered his report to Mr

ballot burning of that old gang
of which that biased and con
tomptible sheet was at that time
the spokesman and which lias
ever sinccr poured forth its ven
orn upon that Democratic com
mon wealth Tho Journal has
never been honest so far as its
politics were concerned It has
always been a radical biased
partisan sheet and its reference
to tho failure of the Wilson ad
ministration is on a par with its
criticism of every Democratic

tion since we can remember

THIRTIETH DAY— OCTOHPR 22
It was after daylight when we
reached Mansfield Ohio but we kept
on into Lima before eating breakfast
and then we roiled right along through
Massilon and Canton Five cars from
the Walnut Garage escorted us into
the latter city from which at 4:00 p
m we were off for Pittsburg For as
Jong as a week at a time during u J acted wholly in seif-defense and
month past we had slept in the car and ciarEel him
gone without changing our clothing
columns Now we like to use
good stuff all right but we’ve got
“kinder” burnt out on that song
“Tipperary” and “Swatting the
Fly” and “Doing It Now" The
people of Shattuck have heard
this for ten years Give us
something new and the Monitor
will give it publicity all right
Pipe dreams are no doubt
pleasant but the most of us who
have reached forty years of age
want something more real in life
Beautiful theories too may raise
the imagination to its loftiest
heights suggestion will' play
upon the minds of some people
until the soul and body is satis
fied but somehow or other
takes the goods to satisfy us the
real goods no mesmeric influ-
ence or legerdemain or makebe
lieve goes with us when we know
we are not in possession of the
real thing
Seeds of courtesy and kind-
ness can be scattered about us
at little expense We have never
failed in our lives when oppor-
tunity afforded to fondle a child
We can remember the man who
treated us with kindness when
we were a kid and we also rem-
ember one or two fellows for
whom we ran errands and turned
the grindstone We presume
everybody has had experience
of this kind but it stuck on us
and that’s why we are very care-
ful in making friends with little
fellows— they always remember
it
As manhood dawns most
young men catch in its first
glimpses of light the pinnacles of
realized dreams the golden
domes of high posibilities and
the purpling hills of great de-
lights then look down upon the
narrow sinuous long and dusty
path by which others have reach-
Jie is apt to be dis-

An effort will he made by the
people of Shattuck and the peo
pie of the section of country
immediately north west of Shat
tuck to join hands with the Li)
scornb county people in extending
the road west from the bridge
on Wolf creek to the Texas line
and putting it in automobile
shape A road to the Texas line
through this way would give
splendid road to Lipscomb and
on west We need this road open
and our people should lend it all
the encouragement possible
John Bunny the famous
Movie comedian died at his
home in Brooklyn New York on
the 20th instant Bunny was
born in New York City of Eng
lish parents was educated in
Brooklyn Public Schools and
spent the early part of his life as
a clerk in a store He became
an actor some years ago it is
said that he received in salary
and royalties more than the
President of the United States
Spring with ail that applies to
the season is at hand She is
the regal queen that rules the
land The farm the country
and everything is so near nature
that we sometimes feel like d rop
ping all the cares of the print
shop and goin’ fisliin’ ourselves
What do people want with news
at a time like this anyway? It’s
been a long time since we got our
feet wet anyhow and we need
something for a change A box
of crackers and a chunk of
cheese would go well even with-
out liquid refreshments if we
could once more get a whack at
one of the old time stunts
Shattuck could adopt with
profit to its business men a
special trade day in each month
It would draw the people to the
town from long distances and
would he a winner in many ways
Shattuck has always had the
reputation of giving entertain-
ment that was worth t the money
and we could continue it on oc--cosions
of this kind We have a
iture show in the town one of
the country that the
of our stores would

Brandon and Kratz’s boy Kratz called

revolver the ball entered Kratz’ left
arm at the elbow and lodging in the
muscle near the shoulder
The county judge held that Brandon

If the small town merchant is
a necessity and we all admit
that he is there is no occasion
for patronizing (he mail order
houses And furthermore we
believe he should be protected in
his business He pays taxes to-
ward the upkeep of the country
and the benefit of the schools he
contributes to public enterprises
in the community and the com-
munity needs his wares as much
as he needs the cash The
trouble with some of our mer-
chants is that they are not thor
oughiy alive to their own inter-
ests A few of them fail be-
cause of their ignorance of or in-
difference to the public The
successful merchant of today
don’t let the opportunity slip
they are hunters of the Nimrod
variety and are always at it they
go gunning for customers and
trade the gun ammunition and
stock in trade is the columns of
the local newspaper and the
Monitor lias a good buncl of
this stock on hand that is al-
ways worth par value to any
merchant in town

t
Its the cleanest nicest best value underwear
that you have ever wore Tiey are made to
fit perfectly any figure The garments are
knit from yarn' of fine quality and not only
fit well but wear well The seams are so
constructed that they do not irritate the most
delicate skin and you can’t wash out the fit
That’s saying a good bit for the Munsing

believe that every word of it is true
