All aspiration is toward a fu
tore reward. Man is never satis
tied in the present tense It is
the next moment, the next day or
next world. The great French
scientist, Victor Hugo said every
man should cry aloud to his fel-
lows and say: ‘ Look up! A bet-
ter day is coming!" And he who
has no hope may surrender exis-
tence, for life is intolerable when
committed to despair. Yet hope
alone leads to extremes. Fully
indulged it is always illusive. It i
must be checkmated by its twin 1
brother, fear. Hope and fear are;
said to be the guardian angels of
human life. They survey the
whole held prophetic of futurity.
Hope gazes only on the bright
side and peers right into heaven.
Fear as faithfully announces the
dangers of the way and insists
there is a hell. Every individual
and every association of men
have had these faithful prophets
as guides all along the journey of
conscious being from period to
period and to final destination.
Agriculture's hopes and fears
are awaking. Hope sees what
we may accomplish and bids us
have courage and perseverance.
Points complacently to what has
been done to reinstate our cheer.
All our markets have been ad-

estimate, and Woodward county

learned the lesson of his life-
perseverance, arid immediately
rallied his men, renewed hostili
ties, expelled the enemy from his
native Netherlands and is now
known as “William the Silent’’
and “William the Conqueror.”

The Post understands that a
part of N. C. Fleming’s tin shop
supplies are now here and that he
will build a tinshop soon. This
will be a very necessary addition
to our public utilities.
Miss Pearl Freeman, a bright
school girl, living a few miles
northwest of tov\n, gracefully
bestowed a nice treat of tomatoes,
peach melons, etc. to the culinary
department of The Post one day
this weeK.
Notwithstanding the big rains,
on last Saturday night quite a
number of the school hoys and
girls met with the little folks of
our neighbors, the Hoys, and
whiled away the hours while the
cheery rain drops pattered on the
window panes.
Manv farmers are through with
their fall plowing and others will
finish up this week. Plowing
ha* been done earlier this season
than common. Farmers have
found by experience that the ear
ly plowing for wheat produces
much larger yields than the late
plowing.
