Don't teach your children that
it is a shame to wear worn and
patched clothes if you are not
able to afford better, butjthat it
is no honor in wearing new ones
that are not paid for. A poet
said, "Remember, that rags
may cover a boy, who will some
day be the great world's joy." 
If there is one thing more than
another in our experience in pub
lishing a local newspaper that
makes us tired, it is the prac
tice of some that tell us that we
must not say anything about this
or that thing that has happened.
There are two sides to every
question and it would be a very
easy matter to formulate a rea
son why a pap*r should not re
| port everything..
