jtion to make good, experience proves
this to be the fact.

any part Of the proposed new coun-
lty Let Us work together in good
will, and let us bury prejudice and
osr selfishness, and let us resolve on
a new county for the best interes S
of every one in it who pays taxes,
or who lives under the county gov
eminent Let us study the real facts
and the greater benefits which the
new county is bound to bring to
every one in it.
The new county will mean large
saving to all of us, and will be a
step ahead in the economy of LEGAL
government. If every citizen will do
his part, will eliminate personal
graft, and object to unnecessary ex-
pense and public extravaganza, will
help to initiate the day of efficiency
and honesty in every public jun ton,
then the new county of Payette will
not only give us lower taxes, but it
will get us out OF debt, and will be
"a model CT county government. We
have il all in our hands.
The interests of Payette, Now
Plymouth and Fruitland and the rest
of the territory comprised are strict
ly identical-what b IN tits one, tene-
fits all There is nothing to fight
about when things are analysed calm
ly and in the light of sound unpreju-
diced thinking.
| believe the people who have
really thought on this subject knew
this and will act ON this belief, al
though outside interests have tried
sepishly Through all sorts Of ef-
forts to disturb this identity of our
mutual interest, and that the new
county can be made a model Of eff
cheney and economy, with the great
est opportunity to all or tho psople
embraced in the territory of work
ing out their affairs along democrat
&c and sound political lines. Further
more. this accomplished, the Editor
of the Sentinel will have a larger
vision than merely dealing with this
question selfishly over the should rs
CT Payette. Let us be fair and deal
with truths rather than in arousing
prejudice of one kind or anoth r
leading to ill will, from which there
is nothing to be gained in the long
run.
Respectfully from a
friend OF the Editor of the Sentine
in favor of county division, and
who is not a member of the Pay
cite Commercial Club.
War, and the high cost of liv;ng.l
are the main topics for conversation
Most of us can have but little toj
do with the question Of war. War is
like the weather, we will have tol
take whatever comes. But by using |
economy, Judgment and a little plan
ing, we can ease up ON the strain of /
cur pocket book in the high cost of
living. 1t may take us back a gener-
alton in some ways, but that will
be good for some of us. We are liv-
ing in too fast an age. We have
grown in the habit of indulg ng in
uxuries rather than necessities. The
necessary articles have advanced in
he last year to about double the
price of a year ago. The question is,
,an we avoid buying the necessary
Many articles in the food
Inc can be grown by most every
'amily. Every vacant lot should be
armed by some one. There is
enough vacant ground in this town
o furnish good garden for every
amily, and well kept garden is
much more slightly than a weedj
'atch. Let us get back to some of
he ways of our forefathers who
we're healthier, happier and more
than the people OF to-
lay, and the burden of high pric S
vill not be heavy.
WE SHOULD SMILE.
The thing that goes the farthest :,
