LOOSEN UP.

Do you want to see a wave of pros
perity strike this community and pnsE
everything along in front Of it?
Then open UP your wallet ant
LOOSEN UP!
Don't content yourself with telling
the ether fellow to do it, but do It your
self.
Imagination plays a mighty big part
In our scheme Of life, aud to a very
large extent we have been afflicted in
late months with an aggravated case
of imaginitis.
Someone got out in the street and
yelped hard times" and Immediately
the cry was taken up and handed from
lip to lip until it really began to as
sumo a semblance of truth.
And then everybody commenced to
tighten the strings Of their purses;
pennies and dollars were boarded and
withdrawn from circulation; buying
Jagged, and apprehension stalked
abroad.
People imagined we were in the
midst of hard times.
The fact that the community held
just as much money as ever before
was entirely overlooked.
The fact that exports, with the pos
sible exception of cotton in southern
states, was as heavy as before was
also forgotten.
Money continued to come into the
community from outside sources, but
it was promptly hidden away instead
OF being placed in circulation through
the usual business channels.
Pessimists barked on every corner,
calamity howlers were in their ele-
ment, and even sane men commenced
to worry.
And all because some fellow opened
his mouth and yelled hard times"
But let's put an end to the farce.
Let's do our spring buying early
let's do much of it now-let's pull our
money out of it's hiding places and
put it to work where it will be of use
to ourselves and to the community.
And let's buy our goods from our
home merchants-from those who
have borne the brunt of the so.called
hard times-from the people whom we
know We can trust.
Let's trot out Old Man Prosperity
and give him the front seat, and then
let's all go to work and keep him
there.
Imagination has been worked to a
fragile.
Now let's have a dose of common
sense, and the imaginary malady will
soon cease to exist. Let's loosen up,

SAFETY FIRST FOR COUNTRY
Rows

railroad accident in which boy who
was running away from small Mis-.
souri, village was crippled for life, c.
H. Baltzell, superintendent of the
Ozark division of the St. Louis & San
Francisco railroad, and leader in the
safety first" campaign on that rail.
road system, went to the general man
ager of the road and made speech
something like this:
Il need in my safety-first work a Y.
M. C. A. building. an efficient secre-
tary and physical director, a gymna-
SUM and auditorium, and a couple of
swimming pools. I'm going to start a
model safety-first country town."
The general manager threw up his
hands in establishment.
We've been combining our safety
first work on the road to telling the
trainmen what not to do to escape in
jury" continued the superintendent.
Nov we're going to teach the young
sters on the division how to take care
Of themselves. Well give them some
thing to do. Well let them know that
somebody cares. Well show them
how to have a good time in country
town. Well raise crop Of peach or
chardists and apple growers and dairy
men. Then they won't run away to
the city and grow into the forlorn per-
sons who knock on your back door and
beg for a hand-out."
Before many months the boys who
had hoped trains and thrown stones
and tried to beat their way" to some
more interesting town were organized
into physical culture classes and boys
clubs at the Y. NJ. c. A. at Thayer,
only rural Y. M. C. A. in
the Missouri Ozarks. There was an
auditorium where the villagers ould
meet for social gatherings. The sup
erintendent himself, who had been an
expert physical culturist before he be-
came a railroad man, spent evenings
IN the gymnasium making friends with
he boys and young men. He taught
he men who gathered at the gymna-
SUM how to box, jump, fence and
swim.
The commercial clubs on the Ozark
division often had meetings to aid in
The promotion of the poultry and dairy
industry, or in the advertisement Of
heir rich fruit country. The superin-
,endent insisted that they boost" the
country boy, too, and wrote them let
,ers to that effect. He made speeches
IN the absurdity of letting the boy
crop "jes' grow" NeighbOring coun-
try towns COMMENCED to look with in
creasing interest to the model safety
first methods which the "superintend-
ent was employing in his home town.
Just what the results of the cam
paign may be, nobody can quite tell,
for the superintendent of the Ozark
division is still at work, and consid-
ers that he has hardly begun. It is
to note, however, that the
safety-first idea has been so we'll ad-
vertised by these novel methods, that
the percentage of casualties is lower
on the Ozark division of the Frisco
than on any other railroad division in

PLAN TO
ADVERTISE STATE
SECRETARY OF STATE CALLS
ATTENTION TO Possibilities
AT EXPOSITION.

Enthusiastic over the prospects for
great benefits the state of Washington
may receive from the Panama-Pacific
exposition at San Francisco next year,
Secretary of State l. M. Howell, who
recently returned from the exposition
site, has issued the following state
ment:
To the Citizens of Washington:
The last "best' chance for the
proper exploitation Of "See Washing.
ton" is presented for acceptance and
it would be shortsighted policy tc
neglect the golden opportunity.
The magnificent Panama-Pacifit
International exposition will not only
be ready on time, but will prove a
revelation to the world at large and
more particularly, it will open the
eyes of Americans living east of the
Rockies to the wonderful country
lying along the Pacific. This applies
with special force to the state OF
Washington.
A relief map, constructed on the
cycloramic plan, is being prepared,
showing the whole state-its valleys
and hills; it's lakes and rivers; its
primeval forests and barren sage
brush; it's wheat fields and orchards /;
farm in its making and the finished
task of bringing it into productive
use: it's grazing lands and dairy
plants; it's glorious mountains, more
beautiful and picturesque than the
Swiss Alps; it's finland Empire" and
great inland sea; its cities and towns
of magic growth which, in score OF
years. have sprung from little trad.
ing posts to places of worldwide i'm
portance. Let the eye see and the
brain must comprehend and the
heart yearn.
Will Stimulate Interest.
This display will be made in the
Transportation building at the expo.
sition, showing the automatically
moving trains over the railway track
age and automobiles over the superb
highway system. The result must be
of inestimable value to our state, for
it will create and stimulate a desire
on the part of all beholders to see in
actually that which is thus shown
them in miniature imitation.

comprehensive lecture is to be

mites and beauties of the state; it's

feet fitness for home-making and the
establishment of business enterprises.
Literature, descriptive of every local
ity, will be intelligently distributed
by the state bureau of statistics and
immigration, and every honest effort
made to turn the tide of travel north
ward through Washington.
There is, in immediate prospect,
the construction of the Washington
highway, which will furnish an all
winter route for motor vehicles be-
tween the Evergreen State" across
Oregon to the heart of California,
practically along the ocean for the
whole distance.
The Washington State Fair Com
mission will assist in every particular
in this wholesome, truthful exploita-
ton and the good results which will
accrue from a campaign of this char
acter are beyond computation.
Help State-Help Yourself.
A commissioner has been appointed
by the exposition association to in
terest commercial organizations as
we'll as corporations and individuals
throughout the state. l hope all will
see the Importance and feasibility OF
this plan and aid in every possible
way in making it success. When
you are helping your state you are
helping yourself.
Very respectfully yours,

Secretary Of State.

OFFICES TO REMAIN HERE.
Governor Does Not Approve Removal
of Public Service Commission.

II feel that the public service COM
mission belongs in Olympia. l will
not approve moving it to Seattle
unless there are strong reasons for
such a move. Arguments for moving
the public service commission might
be made to apply also to other de-
partments. Since taking office it has
been my policy to centralize the gov
eminent of the state in all it's
branches in the capital, as far as
possible"
This was the statement made last
week by Governor Lister, with re-
spect to an interview reported last
week by Seattle newspaper with
Chairman c. A. Reynolds of the COM
mission in which it was said he
would urge the removal of the COM
missions main Offices to Seattle.
The governor cited the location Of
the state bank examiners Office in
this city and the bringing here of the
numerous departments consolidated
into the state department Of agricul-
ture as demonstrating his policy Of
centralizing all Offices here.
The fact that all but two of the
lots in the tract originally included
in the capitol building site have been
secured, condemnation proceedings
now pending against these two, was
also cited by the governor as indi-
eating his desire to build up a GEN.
trail capitol group in Olympia.
