Every man should be a rooter from Whooperville for the town iu which he lives. He should do this from the genuine feeling of comradeship and good fellowship which is spontaneous within him and because it is the right and proper thing to do. When th* citizens of a town are glad they live in that town, when they are proud of it and wear their pride upon their sleeves; when they joy in its beauties and extol its advantages to themselves and also to the strangers in their midst, they are not merely agitating the heated vaper, as many thought lessly suppose. They are doing infinitely more than this. They are developing the spirit of local patriotism, of cjivic unity of municipal co-operation. This spirit prompts them not only to admire the beauties of their town but to seek out its defects and turn them into things of beauty also. They elect their leading and progressive citzens to municipal office and stand behind them in their work of improving the town and bringing it UD to the latest modern requirements. The town itself responds to this influence. The houses are kept fresh and attractive with frequent applications of the beautifying of the brush; the lawns are flowery, velvety, beau tiful; the streets and roads im part pleasure to the pedestrain and the driver. Such a town attracts people of taste and means who erect beautiful homes, become good customers for the stores and in duce their friends to come and build, and do likewise. Farmers from the surrounding neighborhood drive into such a town, attracted by its beauty and . life and purchase their suppli s of its merchants; and when the> have "made their pile" the\ seek it as a place of retirement in which they round out the autmn of their days. Particularly should the merch ant be a rooter for his town. Ii is one of the easiest, cheapest and most successful methods of achieving popularity, for to speak well of your town inclines the heart of every man and wo man thereof towards you. We are all tamiliar with the grouch, who whines in sepul chral and peevish tones that "this is the darndest town he ever saw" and that he wishes he was out of it. He is alienating friends, drying up his trade and in a morbid state of decline. Happy is the town that is fill ed with joyous rooters and wise is the merchant who shouts for his town every day and all the time. ftHXttKroNEYCURE lUku Kidneys ud BladiUr Ri«U»* Great Loss of Life. Boston, March 21—Two hun dred and twenty-one persons perished by ship wreck and eighty-nine vessels met with dis aster off the New England and British North American coasts, or while engaged in the New England or Canadian trade, dur ing the fall and winter season of 1908-09, which ended tonight. Of the eighty-nine vessels cast ashore or lost at sea, six steamers and fifty-six sailing crafts were totally wrecked, The financial loss exceeds $3,000,000. The most thrilling disaster of the season was the collision be tween the White Star line steam er Republic and the Italian steamer Florida, In the series of storms which prevailed from November 17 to December sth one hundred and sixty-five persons were drowned and four steamers and thirty-five sailing crafts lost. The great est disaster last fall was the des truction of the American steam er Soo City, which foundered off the southwest coast of New Foundland, with aM on board— twenty-eight men. IT SAVED HIS LBG "All thought I'd lose my leg," writes J. A. Swenson, Watertown, Wis. "Ten years of eczema, that 15 doctors could not cure had at last laid me up. Then Bucklen's Arnica salve cured it sound and well." Infallible for skin eruptions, eczema, salt rheum, Boils, fever sores, burns, scalds, Cuts and Piles, 25c a C. M. Shuford, W. S.

The book for the afternoon was "Some-how Gord," by De Mor gan and a short criticism was read by the hostess—a sketch of the author's life having been given at a former meeting. Mrs, Ramsay then gave a delightful talk on Mendelsshon, and s Miss Nina Ramsay gave a piano selec tion from Mendelsshon which was much enjoyed. The social hour spent In the dining room around cozy tables, where every thing was suggestive of St. Pat rick, was unusually pleasant. The two course luncheon was in green and white—as were the beautiful decorations. When items of current news were given Mrs. Chas. Geitner exhi bited a "sapodilla," brought from Florida by Mrs. Rainey and kindly loaned for the occasion by Mrs. C. M. Shuford. This fruit is mentioned so often in ' The Firing Line," that the club was curious to see what a writer in Munsey's magazine described as a "cross between a persimmon and a canteloupe." The next meeting will be on March 24 with Miss Lizzie McComb. Wednesday March 17th St. | Patrick's Day, Mrs. Harvey Geitner entertained the Hickory Book Club, with Mrs. P. C. Hall of Newton, a guest of the Club. Quotations and discussion of books read preceeded the special discussion by the hostess of her book "The Life of Alice Free man Palmer" by Prof. Geo. Pal mer. The adjournment to the dining room revealed a picture sque feast of the "Emerald Isle" The room was lit with candles with green shades adorned with Ireland's signet the harp and the Shamrock. "Shamrock Pow ders" as place-cards, showed Erin's wit in the lines of laugh ing nonsense. One as instance j read: "Know your true worth." Said a rooster, I'd have you know ; lam nearly the whole of the show; Why, the Sun every morn ■ Gets up with the dawn. For the purpose of hearing me crow. Pots with living imported Sham [ rock were for souvenirs at every | place with green bon-bons and [ "Erin" in fairy green lettering on iced cakes. Beautiful hya cinths and jonquils were in pro fusion. Current events were green at the table and these com bined with the material festivi ties and the true sparkle of Irish wit made one exclaim "Erin go beagh!" and express regret to! leave such pleasant company. Mrs. T. J. Green, the Vice-Presi dent entertains the Book Club next, March 31st. When Salome arrived, prim old Missouri was to shocked to be shown. Congress doesn't stay away long enough for us to forgive and forget. Judge Landis will not be asked to preside at Standard Oil's dinner to the lawyers. March will not change its dis position to Suit the party in power. NOTICE Special Election.
