entirely willing to trust to his own

TIME TO BE CAUTIOUS

Caution in the handling of fire and
in the use of matches should be re-
doubled on account of the extreme
dryness of the past few weeks. The
of sacked grain and threatened stand
ing grain and buildings at the Clark
ranch yesterday very likely originated
with the discarding of an unextin-
guished match. Two small fires have
been started in the city streets recent
ly by smokers matches. These should
serve as warning of the risks we
take with matches.

SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER

SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER
So far as the report of the Federal
Committee on Industrial Relations has
been released to date, it gives little
or no promise of helping to relieve
the present unfortunate conditions of
the ear marks of demogogery than of
common sense consideration of the
problem under discussion AS stump
speakers material for gaining the
furry-ear of the un-thinking as the
next campaign comes on, it may
serve purpose.
With horror, it is pointed out that
forty-four families have an aggregate
income of fifty millions year, while
a fourth of the mine and factory
workers earn less than ten dollars a
week and only about a tenth earn
more than twenty dollars week.
If all of the fifty millions were dis
lion workers, each would have his in
come increased about four cents
week-not The price of beer, to fol-
low the method of the report in ma
king things seem concrete; and the
forty-four families could go to the
poor-house Now, if the wages of the
tenth who get over twenty dollars a
week and the third who get less than
ten dollars a week were equalized, the
latter would have over two dollars
more per week.
The report makes it appear that the
tenth has it all over the third.

The Other Side

My Dear Editor of the Star Mirror:
AS a woman driver, and country
woman at that, | beg to be allowed
to differ with some of the points set
forth in your recent all together one
sided editorial on Woman Drivers"
Let me say first that l have had
fourteen years experience driving
over country roads about Moscow, and
have found that if anyone has road
grievances to howl about 1t is the
country people.
the road and their animals" | can
safely say that the town drivers go
them several better. They ignore not
only the road and the animals, but
more usually still ignore their own
and other peoples lives by running
at passenger-train speed around
curves, corners, up hill and down
dale with a careless srecklessness that
is little short of criminal, and ito
see some of them drive, you might
imagine that they thought they were
on street car track and couldn't get
off if they tried" They will run right
up to the nose of the country wom-
ans not always placid "old nag" with
vim that would make any animal
with an ounce of horse sense uneasy,
witt G q hnu

always accurately gagged. | know of !
four distinct cases where the driv-
ers of cars were given two-thirds of |
the road and then they collided with |
the farmers plugs" (if you will have
it so), and of course this was all very |
and dangerous to the auto
list in the deep dust, for he should |
have had, so it seems, the whole road.
Now, after searching my memory
l can not recollect ever
seeing a country woman driving
abreast of her neighbor," sgossiping.
Country women, in the first place.
have very little time in the busy sum
mer time to gossip. That is a lux
ury that must be reserved for. the
city women gathered on the lawn at
fancy work. A country woman must
make her trips to town between din
ner time and supper time and has no
time to "placidly slap the old nag
home and gossip. l have, however,
seen two automobiles driven side by
side, not placidly it is true, and not
sossiping, but racing. l have seen
)ne of them swerve to the right and
)ne to the left and leave barely room
or a country woman, driving a spirit
ID horse, to pass between them. The
lorse reared and swerved a bit to one
tide the ladies in the cars shrieked
he country woman went placidly on
Ter way.
And as for little Dottie's nose,-It
equires very little attention during
he dusty season, and even if it did
peaking from years of observation,
hink it would not disturb her placid
mother greatly. l only wish that the
aforementioned Dottie's nose might re-
GIVE the careful material considera-
ion that you have attributed to it.
Sincerely, indeed, are we all hop
ng that some day it can truthfully be

ant and let the woman driver have
