For over a century it has been the habit of those persons Jiving in towns and villages to give ridiculous nicknames to the little settlements which spring up at cross-roads and other points shori uiauuicez, uwa Jlom the Liiyer places. In many cases these nicknames have clung to the settlements and have come to be adopted as proper appela- tions. In a spirit of curiosity we went through our exchanges a few days ago and found that country correspondence was regularly received from neighborhoods bearing such atrocious names as Shanty ville, IJogto-nu, Hog Back, Fiddler's Ridge, Poverty Run, Mudhole, Dutch Row, Hardscrabble, Toad Centre and Potato Ridge and we have right here at home Frogtown, Muletown and Bum- town. Tin't it about time that the residents of such neighborhood evinced sufficient I pride to do away with the nicknames and adopt for their home villages or neighborhoods, titles that would be at leabt better sounding if not more correctly descriptive of the present appearance of the place? Something is the matter with the good people who continue to acknowledge Shanty vilel, as their home.

Perhaps the name of their abode has destroyed their It is an awful thing to acknowledge one lives in Shantyville or Dogtown. Pick out, a new name, neighbors, and make it stick.

The Home Paper Ex-Governor Francis once said the following of newspapers: "Each year the local paper gives from $500 to $1,000 in free lines to the community in which it is located.

No other agency can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and in all fairness he ought to be supported--not because you like him or admire his writings, but because the local paper is the best investment a community can make. It may not be brilliantly edited or crowded with thought, but financially it is of more benefit to the community than the preacher or teacher. Understand me, 1 do not mean mentally and yet on moral questions you will find most of the papers on the right side. Today the editor of the local papers do the most for the least money of any people on earth." '3." Express Trains SUNDAY TRAINS Lv.

The parent is expressly authorized to select the high school to be attended, provided, always, he selects a high school that offers a program of studies extending through four school years. The consent of the Board of llcluca- tioii that maintains the high school must be secured. The parent thereafter requests the school directors of the district, in which he resides, to approve the high school so selected.

When a transfer is made the tuition must be paid by the school district in which the pupil resides. The duty of collecting the tuition devolves upon the Board of Education that maintains the high school. The tuition must be paid from any funds of the district not otherwise appropriated. The tuition, in no case, must exceed the per capita cost of maintenance. The Act of 1913 does not eO'ecl school districts that provide work in the ninth and tenth grades until the work of such is completed.

"Honest John" Humphrey John Humphrey of Orland, for many years state senator from the seventh district, and familiarly known as "Honest John" died last Saturday at St. Luke's hospital. Fumerai services were held Monday morning at Orland, friends of the deceased coming from miles around to pay their last tribute to the fearless, yet lovable, Republican leader. Interment was at the Orland Island Standard. L.

Inquire of Harry Robinson, Kiverdule. $25,000 a Day Of Yovir Money The Board of Cook County Commissioners spends this small fortune every day, and every penny of it comes from the taxpayers. Business judgement applied to so large a total makes an enormous saving in a year. You will do well to SEE TO IT that the right men are elected to spend it.

Shall it be men WHO MAKE THEIR LIVING out of politics? We believe that county government is Business, not politics, and we have proven the sincerity of our belief as commissioners. The men YOU ELECT will hold office for 4 YRA.RS, not two, and will spend from 35 to 40 millions of YOUR MONEY. We have not only worked to establish an economical and efficient administration, but worked consistently to improve the county Edward F. Fulford Horse Shoeing and General Repairing. 138th St.
