Tins paper is endeavoring to give
lhe best service that 4he patronage
will permit. Our paper is being
l'ivi|Uently complimented on its ap
pearance and the amount and kind
of in it tin* it contains. Our citizens
oil) tn tke the piper still ni ire effec
tive by liberal patronage, both in
subscription and advertising and also
settling delinquent accounts. The
News Item will always endeavor to
merit the patronage.
In no place on the globe will you
iiiii 1 as l>ig-licarted, generous and
noble people as reside in this old i
town. They are not much on dress !
parade. Thuy do not wear silk j
stockings nor silk hats but they have j
hearts as big and warm as ever pul- j
sated in human breasts. They have j
not seen much of the outside world
and consequently are a very back j
number from a local pride point ofj
view. Most of us have grown in |
to the habit of letting our premises i
go looking ,"any old way." It we ,
would each take a survey of our own !
door yards and try to out-do our
neighbors in making it look at
tractive we would be developing a
modern spirit that prevails in all
other up-to-date towns. Yes, your
local interest along the upbuilding
ot li iporte can easily be measured
by the appearance of your premises.
Sue how many weeds are going
to seel around your house. Cut
hem down and give place to a nice
lawn. Mere talk will not do these
essential things, its work that counts.
| Please "get busy".
Mrs. Smith and Miss Shank of
Williamsport, are tlio guests ol I)r.

Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Grange of
Forkaville, vifited Mr. and Mrs.
Thouias Mahaffey last week.
NVedo not like to dun our patrons
through tht» columns of our paper,
t>ut umny statements liuv<' heen *ent
of late to delinquent sulncrilters with
but little result. Postage and time
was used for the purpose of getting a
settlement. Will you kindly give
us that dollar of ours you are holding
onto?
The high moral standing of this
community is due to the fact that it
has been permeated by Christian in
fluence and education, such as have
radiated from the four church organ
izations of our town.
Few business men have more to
contend with than an editor. The
only menus the editor has of making
a living is by selling space in the
columns of his piper. His news
paper columns are the same to him
as the shelves of dry goods are to
the merchant. No one thinks ol
asking the merchant to give him the;
•try goods from his shelves, but few
they are who hesitate to ask th<* j
editor to give them a few columns j
free in his paper.
At a meeting of the town Council J
Tuesday evening, the borough engi- j
neer was directed to make profile of ;
street grades and sidkwalk lines
throughout the principal streets of j
t'lwn, and the borough solicitor to
notify property owners in accordance \
with enacted laws governing the j
compulsion of sidewalk construction ,
and their maiotainance. Main and j
Muncy streets have already been I
properly treated by the engineer,
and as soon as the balance ol the
work is completed an ordinance con
cerning the same will be published
and then a new era of sidewalk
building will be the order of the day j
throughout our village. We can then
advertise Laporte a* a desirable place
to spend a pleasant summer—a place
where church and social advantages
are unequaled, where local pride iu
making an attractive town is given
emphasis, and where one can enjoy
his allotted number of years without
fear of broken limbs or annoyances
in traveling our sidewalks as here
tofore. The News Item can then
say, like one of old, "Come thou
with us and we will do thee good".
Without the emphasis on the "do."

Problem* For Which the Serious Mind
ed Are Needed to Solve.
There is nothing that women cannot
do, but the work must be planned with '
u thoroughness that precludes failure
and done with a modesty which is the
Inherent charm of the superior sex, I
says the Woman's Home Companion. .
As I siiid, every community has Its '
own problem. Most of these originate j
outside of the home. Pure water, pure j
food, pure air. clean streets, sanitary I
schools and tenements, district nurs- i
ing, the education of the ignorant In |
the care of babies, the question of pau- [
pers, the public baths and traveling II- !
brarles, the treatment of our women
prisoners iu prison and after, the lodg
ing house problem-these are only a
few of the civic puzzles crying for
trained women to solve.
A woman does probably her greatest
share of her duty as u citizen when
she makes a home a safe and happy
harbor of refuge from a stormy world,
when slit.' brings up her children into
noble manhood and womanhood and
when she does not destroy her husband
and family by bad cooking and bad
temper, but that same- woman crowns
her career as a citizen when she in
terests herself in and becomes a vital
part of some problem of government.
A woman successful In home life is
desperately needed In civic life.
