Pope of Boston, Muss., is inspiring u goud work in the way of freeing the school text hooks of the United States from the many errors which they contain. lie recently re-cently gave away half a dozen handsome bicycles to the six school teachers who would point out the largest number of errors found in the school books of our country. Several hundred mistakes were found and corrected by the publishers pub-lishers of the books. He now has a similar ofl'er open to everyone.

Like most other women," she added, with a touch of naivete, ''I have no objections to him singly and individually, but in droves he's a pig." Ex. When wc come to think of it, Kate ''alone" wouldn't be so bad we would '"have no objections to her singly and individually," "but in droves" she'd be worse than ten thousand forked tongued rattle snakes scorched into a fury by a premature escape from the place of fire and brimstone! Ten thousand thous-and times worse! Brigham City today is worse ofl for creditable public school buildings build-ings than it was twenty-five years ago.

Tub Dksihkt Nkwr supports the position taken by a few petty Idaho officials (the same sort of. fellows who robbed the Mormons of their franchise and threw them into dungeons) in suppressing a newspaper news-paper for giving away a sewing machine free of charge to its subscribers. sub-scribers. To say the least, such a stand is disloyal to nowspaperdom. In the same breath the News jeers and snep.rs at newspapers in general gener-al for giving gifts of any kind free to their subscribers, even though not one cent is charged for these presents more than the regular price of the paper. What a philanthropic philan-thropic heart the News has. Its new young editor seems to think only of his own pocket, entirely for getting the thousands of poor people who every year receive inestimable benefits through these means. A j number of poor people in Brigham j and vicinity have in this way received re-ceived $100 wagons, mowers, vulu-! vulu-! able books, etc., for the mere price of a ptiper ($2.25 to $3); and The Busier is today sending nearly 200 copies of two .excellent magazines, maga-zines, absolutely free, to its (nature's generous part in the work for our advancement) far surpass sur-pass that of Logan, and if we would but buckle down and bring our side of the load up even with nature's, 1 Logan would then be as far behind 1 Brigham as Brigham is today ; behind Logan. Cannot we do Something? Own a house, says an exchange. No matter how small, no matter how modest; if you have to run in debt for it. It pays you in the long run. It cheers and encourages encour-ages you every day. It makes you feel" more like a man, makes you a better citizen, adds to the value of property and gives you a stimulus that nothing else can give. Go into a city where the majority own the homes they live in, and then go into a city composed of a claj-s who cannot, or think they cannot buy a permanent home. Note the difference. In the first instance you see neat homes that vary in design, and all around are little evidences that show plainly that the people who live there have an interest besides seeing that the rent is paid. subscribers in Box Elder County; the only consideration we ask is that they pay the regular price ol Tin: Bugler in advance. By this both publisher and patron are benefited. Yet the News would suppress this mutual service. Newspapers have facilities for obtaining ob-taining bargains for others (such .is our giving either the "American Farmer" or ''Woman kind" absolutely abso-lutely free, which pnpers would otherwise cost our subscribers fl.00) that they could not possibly obtain through any other source, lint the News is averse to our doing this for the people. And our Suit j Lake contemporary sneers at papers generally for helping their p;itrons in this legitimate way.
