editing a paper regarded as
merely sport.
The editing of n newspaper is sure
enough real honest-to gc .dnoss sport
After you hove spent the better port
of the week collecting items that will
be of general interest, lost perhaps
a third of vour sleep and worried for
fear your efforts are not appreciated
get you paper out in good order, and
have waited breathlessly for perhaps
a day or so to see what the sent,
nent is regarding it-then go into
some place of business and hear the
owner of the business make some dis-
paraging remnrk regarding vour at
tempt to do something for the town or
community-after he has been award
ed an unlimited amount of free ad
vertising. too-is .lust excruciatingly
funnv, nn.l vou are forced to come to
the 'conclusion that the newspaper
business is the last word in real sport
While this is done with no desire on
the part of the perpetrator to injure
you or vour business, it has that ver\
effect and if you try to come back with
n return witticism regarding his busi
ness you will, no doubt, lose a eus
tomer. But voj must not do this—
instead you must boost his business,
Hiving him the advantage of your good

LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The successful business man must
base his life upon honor and integ-
rity. Beyond and outside of these,
he must have the compound of initia-
tive, aggressiveness, determination,
practicability nnd vision which Amer
ica has chosen to style “pep.”
The successful, widenwako and pro-
gressive town must possess the same
qualities. It must, have the judgment
to realize that its prosperity nnd
growth depends on the home ad
vantages and business advantages
which it can offer, nnd it must have
vision enough to see that expenditures
which these advantages bring nre not
an extravagance, but an asset.
Money spent in local improvements
such as public buildings, good roals,
etc., is money well sp.mt. Undertak-
ing anv of these improvements is like
making an excellent investment, which
is bound to return dividends. The gain
to the town reacts to the comfort nnd
benefit of every citizen.
Who wants to live in. a town with
out “pep,” a town which drags out
its monotonous existence without
growth or omprovementl When the
growth or improvement! When the
up. stand behind it, “boost” it, work
for it, and you will see your town
sought by business enterprises and
other concerns.
Tt is up to you Mr. Citizen. Stand
up for local improvements first. Inst
and all the time, nnd you will help
make Tecumseh a more desirable place
of residence nn.l a progressive busi-
ness center.

carries over until fall approximately
150 000,000 pounds of wool, much of
which is of an indifferent character.
The demand still is chiefly for* fab-
rics requiring the finer grades of
wool, but confidence in the position of
coarser wools is increasing.
Manifestly there must be many mil-
lion pounds' of wool turned into fab-
rics for the peoples in Central Eu-
rope, and even though they buy the
cheapest, fabrics, the effect upon the
mnrket. will be one of decided
strength. Already the effect of com-
petition from Continental Europe is
being seen, in Argentina, where con-
sidernble wool suited to the needs of
the Continent is to be had. This same
competition is forcing up the prices
of by-products in England.

Governor Robertson, who is attend
ing the annual conference of governors
at Salt Lake City, Utah, struck the
keynote in his discussion of education-
al legislation before that body Wednes-
day He told the conference, in most
emphatic form, that “there is some-
thing fundamentally wrong with the
common school system of the country,
and that “the states are making the
universities the base of the education
al pyramid and the common school
the apex, when the procedure should
be vice versa.” He also declared that
“the common schools are not meeting
the requirements of the people.
