HE HAS SMOOTH SAILING NOW
Sheriff w. r. Jones Was Quick to
Thoroughly Master Numerous De-
tails Of His Office.

There is little doing at the county
court house these July days. Office
routine occupies the attention Of the
officials with the exception of the
office of County Assessor Grimmett.
In that office the deputies and clerks
are busy with the collection of taxes.
1t is now by long odds the busiest
place in the court house.
Sheriff Jones has considerable
office work to do, but as court is not
in session it gives him an opportun-
ity to catch up with all his office
work and give prompt attention t,
all outside matters coming as his
official portion, He is now doing
the business of his office like an old
hand. He is thoroughly familiar
with all the details and his mastery
of the numerous court papers, how
to serve and make record and re-
turn of them, has been wonderful
and acquired in very short time
1t shows what good sense and ap-
plicatiOn will do when they roll up
their sleeves and get down to the
brass tacks of hard work.

TWO POINTS OF VIEW

The difference between the rich
mail order house and the average
local merchants is this: The mail
order house knows that advertising is
an investment whereas the local mel
chant too often imagines it is an item
of expense.
That is why the mail order houses
are so hard to compete with Their
advertising goes on forever and draws
like mustard plaster.
Every newspaper man often hears
merchant say: l haven't any
money to advertise with just now"
The mail order foxy grandpa's idea
Is different. His motto is: 81 must
advertise literally so as to get more
business to buy more advertising, to
get more business
And the mail order man doesn't
care a whoop whether it is June or
December. He knows that advertis.
ing Is his salvation.-Soda Springs

CONSCIENCE MONEY

Have the American people sudden
ly become more or less conscientious?
How account for the drop of the gov
eminent conscience fund to $2S14?
These figures for the year ending
June 80 are the lowest voluntary re-
situations for IL years.
A plausible explanation is that this
fund has come largely from travellers
who lied at the custom house about
dutiable goods. Recent prosecutions
no doubt convinced them the game
Is not worth playing
Conscience must be firmly handled
to be successful sinner. If you give
a child candy between meals once or
twice, soon he demands a daily al
lowance. If conscience is dealt with
firmly and as matter of principle,
it soon comes to know its place. But
if handled in a temporizing fashion. it
becomes very unruly, and pokes it's
nose into everything.
Many successful Americans have
felt, when it came to a matter of buy
Ing legislatures or city councils, that
this was realm in which questions
of conscience could not enter. The
mere fact that it was business" plac.
ed it outside questions of morality
or immortality.
Government conscience funds come
from unsuccessful sinners. They
wanted to play the game, but didn't
quite dare TO- They temporized with

EVERY MAN HIS
OWN ROAD MAKER

The rural method Of repairing a hig
way has always been to scrape muck
and turf from the side of the road in
to the center, to be washed out in the
first rain.
No doubt much work like this will
be done on those two days in August
in Missouri, when Gov. Major of that
state has called on every able bodied
male citizen in the rural districts to
work on the highways. If every man
who expects to respond to this call
would instead contribute in cash the
value OF his two days time to some
plan for scientific road building, the
result would be much larger.
Gov. Majors idea might be criti
cised as a return to the primitive
plan for road building. In the old day
it was quite customary to divide q
township into a large number of dis.
tricts, and appoint highway survey

specially intense strain, are supposed
to be strengthened and self control
made flrmer by shouts of "all right,
old kid" and an infinite variety of
encouragement.
Some well meaning people have
sought to eliminate from the ball
field everything except necessary di-
rections to players and hand clapping
and cheering for good work But
this meets with no sympathy on the
bleachers. To them baseball is not
merely a battle of skill and physical
endurance. 1t is one of self control
in all situations. The team may ex-
Gel in the two first, but according to
American sporting ideals if it lacks
a calm superiority to derisive clamor,
it fails in a final element of power
and deserves to lose.
A full report of all the impromptu
witticisms would fill many newspaper
columns. Players and spectators alike
engage in this anthem OF purported
humor. The absurdities, the errors,
manners and personal appearance OF
opposing players are jeered at All
which must be received in impressive
silence. One man cannot successfully
compete with hundred hostile wits.
American ball games will never be
noiseless. The chorus of advice, en-
couragement, and derision is merely
the spectators way of participating
A mans desire for athletic success
may have been blotted out by his III
expert eye and feeble muscle BLt
II he possesses ready tongue and
carrying voice, he feels that he
helps turn the tide of VICTOR Per.
ni;a he does.

or for each district. The result was
commonly that every one repaired the
road near his own home If the
appointments were changed often
enough, about every strip Of highway
would in few years receive some
work. AS plan for distributing ia
vors, it worked equitably enough. But
the repairs were of the most amateur
ish and transient character.
Nevertheless, much could be done
for better roads by voluntary effort.
If MissOuris amateur road makers
