THOUGHTS TO
THINK ABOUT

You can never change
the opinion of another to
your own way OF thinking by
the ridicule of his way of
thinking - ridicule never
persuades.
Men who put most into
their work get the most
out of it; the success gotten
out of business Is meas
ured by the devotion to II.
You cannot win by wish
ing that another may lose;
you can never step up by
tramping someone else
down; there is no merit In
meanness.
The Classified pages of
the Tulsa World are

all things OF one kind are

the reader to find what he
wants quickly.

s2863 SAVING Town
EXPENSES
A Larger Cash Balance
Than Usual
Committee Twenty Citizens To Meet
to Consider Town Warrant.

\ cash balance of $10,466 the larg
est for years. is shown upon the town
reports for the year. While the
city of Waterville has expended SAL
600 more than its income, and many
other towns and cities have exceeded
anticipated expense in consequence
of higher prices of both wages and
materials, contagious diseases and
the unusual amount OF snow. Show
hegan has contended with such condi-
lions. having paid all bills and has,
besides, a cash balance of $10,466, the
largest for years.
A saving of s2S63 for the past two
years has been made for expenses of
the poor, and this despite the fact
that provisions and fuel are much
higher than heretofore. In 1914 the
expenses were s66S1; in 1915, they
were $5Sl2; and in 1916, $46S7. 1t
would be natural to expect an in
crease rather than a reduction i'll the
cost of caring for the poor but such
is not the case. Moreover, the de-
serving poor have been we'll cared
for. while those able to work have
become self-supporting.
The road commissioners reports
show no overdraft other than in the
snow department, altho the past sea
son has been one of the most eXpen
sive years for a long time because OF
bad weather and high prices.
Not many of the articles of the
town warrant have been publicly an
nounced as yet. A committee OF
twenty has been chosen and these are
TO meet at the municipal court room
at 730 next Monday evening, March
fifth, for consideration of the town
