Our DUTY TO
THE CIVIC LEAGUE
Why All should BE Members Sue
eInetly Told by Colonel ouslsy

| have been asked to give a reason
why every citizen OF Bryan should be

rather think the question should be
put this way: What reason Is there
for any good citizens not to be men,
Der of the Civic League?
There are certain things to be done
for community welfare which are no
less important than providing police
and fire protection. but which are en-
tlrely beyond the reach OF municipal
laws and beyond the power OF the mu'
nicipality to do with public funds.
Appearance and polite behavior In
the person are esteemed as necessary
qualifications for social contact Il
Is not enough that man shall feed
himself and cover his nakedness. lie
must also be ut In dress and manners

towns and cities. They must have re-
gard for community appearance ana
community behavior, or they are NJ.
lit dwelling places for proper minced
people.
The man who pays his taxes and
keeps out OF Jail Is law abiding
enough. but he Is very poor sort OF
n citizen II he does not contribute
something OF money and labor for the
common welfare.
Moreover. in our little city condi'
tons at the moment happen to be
such that there are many undertake
ings which the municipality must
forego for lack OF funds, and these
must be left to voluntary contribu

The Old Rose Window.

The Old Rose Window.
The window to the right as one en-
tiers is known as the "old Rose Dis
play" and comes by It's name very
Justly. In II are two wax models,
most becomingly gowned in the old
rose cloth and color. trimmed with a
darker effect. setting the whole off
in a most pleasing manner. There Is
also a bust figure. which displays the
waist to very pleasurable degree.
Then there is the headgear, trimmed
In old rose. the latest shape and styl'
lsh effect. To add to the general ap-
peal of this window there has been
placed there centerpiece Of gray
goods, the texture and quality OF
which is all that the most fastidious
could desire. Offsetting this is gray
headwear. one hat bearing the always
appropriate black feather, topped with
an effect Of blue. This window is a
beauty. You should see II, and no
doubt will.
White and Black Window.
White and black and gray and black
are so popular this year that Mr.. Edge
has had the second window fitted out
in a display of that nature. In front
OF a most deftly arranged background
of the same colors, the passers'by
note the very stylish and new white
and black parasol. the white waist
and skirt tastily trimmed in black
the white and black hats. and then the
dainty hosiery OF the same two colors
as well as the slippers to 20 with
them. In this window there is cen
ter piece OF gray and black goods, al
well as a most hastily dressed wa'
model of the same coloring. Boil
these windows have been the subject
OF much favorable comment, and II II
generally agreed they merely EN-
phasize the enterprise and progress
Of the Eugene Edge business firm, Al
well as the intent and well directed
efforts to always keep In stock an'

appreciation is shown in a practica

Robson Talks to the Point.

Lieutenant Hobson. now noted
temperance lecturer. cannot. OF course,
view the whisky traffic from any point
but one OF evil. and he went into his
subject without gloves. The sale OF
intoxicants, he said. is one OF the
most expensive things In the world,

cants not only undermine the consti'
tuition OF millions OF individuals Of
the nation. he said. but is actually
corroding and undermining the insti'
tutlons and the constitution OF the ma
ton as a whole. as well as causing TO
be spent each year the enormous
amount OF two billions. five hundred
millions OF dollars (s2,5OO. OOO.OOO)
This. he argued. was one of the big
gest drains made on the financial con

OF It's making paupers. insane people

WE HAVE THEM

THE tightwad is not confined to any
particular part of the United States,
but has his lair in every hamlet,
village, town and city. You can general
ly tell tightwad by his looks. He ,ap-
pears small and narrow, as though his
very soul were shriveled. And then, too,
his fingers are bent like hooks, caused
from grabbing everything in sight and
loosening on nothing. The tightwad is
opposed to every measure for the public
good and for public advancement. He is
suspicious of everyone and everything, be-
cause he is so crooked himself that he
thinks there is no good in any one or in
anything. The tightwad generally accu-
mulates quite little money before he dies,
but for all the good it does him or anyone
else, he might just as well have collec-
tion of cancelled postage stamps. Nc one
cares anything about him excepting the
undertaken, and when that dignitary fin
ally gets him, the populace will give three
cheers and wax merry. We wouldn't give
two rusty tobacco tags for the tightwad's
chance of entering the pearly gates, and
we do hope he won't 60 to the other rlace,

FOR THE BOYS

During the past week several letters
have come to The Gazette from the Boys
at The Border, most of them satisfied and
contented sounding, few of them with
a pathetic little under-note of homesick-
ness All of them voice some simple wants
of the boys which it will be easy for home
folks to crafty if they will give few
moments thought and time to it.
One thing greatly desired by all the
boys is new records for use on their graf
onola. Either Victor or Columbia rec
ords will do, and any one having records
of which they have become bit tired can
do no more charitable thing than to send
them on to Camp. One letter says, Il am
enclosing list of the grafonola records
we now have and whose music we have
almost worn threadbare. If you could be
here for two days, the incessant p.:ying
sure you of our appreciation of any mu-
Sic" This list will be found elsewhere in
this ISSUE
We know of twenty-tw people in Red
wood Fails who have large collections of
these records. If each one would contrib
ute two, and few of us buy some brand
new ones to send, the boys would have
plenty of new canned music-which is
about the only canned stuff they can use
without fear of ptomaine.
There comes also a call for magazines,
old or new, daily papers-as fresh as pos
sible, books and few games of checkers
for the boys who don't play cards. Also
jams, jellies and fruit juices Will be most
acceptable provided they can be shipped
in good shape, but mo cakes, candies or
cOnfections'- quote the last phrase
