Under the direction of Mayor Bennett, Marshal Parrish and City Engineer Alexander, careful at tention has been given the work and every effort made to secure the best results. On account of the excessively dry weather the dust has been unus- ually hard to cope with, but the oil IS already improving the situation, and after a good rain and dragging our streets give promise of being in excel lent condition.

Something to Consider.

Some one has truthfully said We need whatever We may gain of eour- age, for We have so much to do end so little time in which to do 1t. And. at the last, kindly old Mother Nature shall come and tuck us all into the same little brown bed - The three paramount facts in this statement should grip the mind of every sensible person. To live true to God. fellow man, and self we need courage, then to grapple with the tremendous prob lems of the every day life and world and fulfill our mission or accomplish our life purposes in the short space of time allotted to us We need wisdom as well as courage. Unless man has lowered himself to the level of the beast he most assuredly. at times. thinks of his preparation for that event when kindly old Mother Nature will tuck him into his little brown bed.
 The question comes then. where can man obtain or secure that courage, wisdom, and necessary preparation? By communion with and worship of God. When next Sunday comes around don t forget the helpful services in Dermott's popular friendly homelike church. Sunday Bible school at 9:45 where the Bible is studied for truth and not with any sectarian bias. Morn ing service at II, subject Why Am Presbyterian; evening service at 8. subject Mans Essential Belief The musical part of these services is em- phasized Come.

 ton for Farmers.

The farmers of this county should all become familiar with the fact that when they need extra labor they may enroll their names with Mir. George Elder, county clerk of Chcot county for he will also enroll the names of laborers who want work on farms and it will thus be easier for men and jobs to get together.
 If farmers are too busy to make a trip to the court house they can tele- phone their names in, and in this case phone and their post office address so that laborers hunting for work may find them easily. The laborer, too, may enroll by telephone if it is not convenient to enroll in person
 This plan of mobilizing farm labor was decided upon by the State Council of Agriculture. Other states are doing similar work, and the United States Department of Agriculture is doing all that is possible to persuade the various states to adopt systematic plans with the object of making it easy for the farmer to get help and for the jobless man to get work on farms.
