Your Local Paper. Your local paper, the paper published in your home community, is one of the best things you have. It is one of the strongest ties that bind you to the others in your particular corner of the world Through it you are kept in touch with that corner's round of affairs, and through it you share the joys of others and help them bear their burdens. It is what the farmer would calJ the evener on which all pulling together for the progress of the community. tovL ought not therefore, to look on it as something to be read and then cast aside.

You ought to regard it, rather, as an agency for good to which you can give strength by co-operation. A local paper is not a private institution it is a public utility, and it3 usefulness is increased as it is supported by the community by you This means that you must contribute to it giving it news and backing the editor in the good things he tries to promote. If such co-operation were given every good paper by every good citizen in his community, the editor could accomplish vastly more than he does. When you areof disposed to grumble at the failure of the editor to get results, then ask yourself whether you have given him your share of support. This applies with double- force to the teacher.

The teacher who gets anywhere is the one who sees his school in its relation community, who spares no pain3 to interest the community in the work of his school or his part of the school. To accomplish this end the teacher should be in closest touch with his local paper, keeping the public informed through it as to the work of his school or his department. He should have no fear of lack of co-operation on the part of the editor. The editor is keen for school news, and you as a teacher are in the position to see that he gets it, and through the publishing of the news of your school you keep awake the interest of the community in the school. Look upon the local paper, therefore as your coadjutor.

It will aid your school, lifting it to a greater efficiency. It Will aid you, lifting you to higher rounds of the educational ladder. Minnesota Farm Review.

Tarvia's reputation here is busted, and whether or not it might could be made to produce better results, the people have decided against it, and will have no more of it, if they, can help, Once again, in a still, small voice, we beg to point out that gravel, of the kind that Fergus Falls is full of, makes a splendid street lurface, fairly durable, and, with proper care, better than anything that can be got short of prohibitive prices. Road building authorities agree that gravel is the one material that rivals macadam.

Why not stick to gravel and take care of it? Taking care of gravel does not mean shoveling it from excavations into wagon boxes, dumping tile loads on the streets, spreading it a bit, raking out some of the cobblestdnes, and then trusting the completed job to nature and automobiles for the ensuing ten years. That has been our practice in the past. The right way is to sift the gravel, spread it with eare and intelligence, roll and sprinkle until the crowned street is well nigh perfect, and then methodically patch and roll, a3 holes and washouts appear repeating the entire surface application every few years, as the need appears. All this does not cost half as much as street oils, nor a quarter of what paving costs.Wheelock's Weekly, Fergus Falls.
