Watch Your Habits,

Habit is a cruel tasknaster. Most
men who have daily routine Of en-
ployment fall into certain ways Of
daily life that in time become more
exacting than any Simon Legree that
ever lived. Even work becomes q hab-
it as the years pass, and the less va
riety there is to the labor the greater
influence it will have In forming a
habit. The case of John Agnew, who
after "a years In the service of the
city Of Chicago was pensioned and
died recently because he was deprived
Of his daily toll. is striking instance
Of the effect of habit. 'Idleness Is
killing me-" was his complaint. At his
age 1t was almost impossible for him
to learn to do anything but that to
which he had been accustomed for q
much longer period than the average
man lives, and he simply rusted away
until death ended his fretting. FOrtu-
nate is the man who can vary his
daily tasks so that they will not tx
hold ON him that, as he grows older,
1t will be impossible for him to shake

TEAMWORK.

Germany has, by teamwork, by
perfect organization, astonished the
world by its military qower. 1t
shows what may be accomplished
by teamwork" by pulling togeth-
er. This same kind of community
organization through commercial
club, or any organized body in a
town, will work just as wonderful
results in community development.
But local newspaper is business
fool to boost a town where the bus
mess interests do not back up the
work. A town that fails to utilize
the pulling power of It's local paper
is lacking in business sense. 1t
takes money to buy cuts; it takes
time to gather information and
facts necessary for worthwhile pub
licity in a county or town; it takes
money to get the pull out of the
paper just as it takes oil to make a
car go. Orofino business are willing
enough to enjoy the benefits. but
not willing to help to the amount OF
anything. They want the local pa
per to furnish the steam, and let
them ride free. They want the 9th
er fellow to spend time and money
number of their customers, and all
that, and carry all the load. That
kind of teamwork never got a town
very far. 1t will not get Orofine
| very far. That isn't the kind OF
teamwork that has made Germany

TIME TO WAKE UP.

There is no excuse for the dem
ocrats of Orof1no being under the
domination of Jim Blake any lon
ger, for all the control of the party
in the county that passed to these
unclean hands is the result of in
difference or lack of energy. If
there is not enough vitality and
self-respect among Clearwater coun-
ty democrats to assert themselves
then there Is no place in the demo-
cratic party in this county for men
who do care for clean and efficient
government. When the tail can
wag the dog, and that tail a scurvy.
NANCY stub. a cast off from the re-
publican party, isn't 1t time for men
to get busy and clean house? And
to refuse to clean house when 1t is
downright filthy does deserve cen
sure. The trouble is that the good,
clean democrats. and we have plen-
ty of them, do not take any inter-
est in their precinct elections, and
the Blake gang does. That spells
the difference between victory and
defeat: between j. w. Blake and l.
r. Grow, and democrats who are
on the square. For let us remind
our democratic friends that 1t was
not much of job making 1t too hot
in the republican party of Clearwat-
err county for James w. Blake and
one John Fitzgerald. The trouble
is that Jim Blake has always die
tated the policy of the local demo.
cratic paper, and the rank and file
have swallowed the bait, hook, line
and sinker

You Must Speed Up.

DR.. James, the eminent psychologist
of Harvard, declared that most men
use less than one-tnlrd Of their power.
They resent demands that call forth
more than the average and, of course,
remain average. It's the challenge Of
the unusual that goes deep enough
into life to increase your worth. Gen
eral wage Increase Is an evidence OF
the rise In living costs. Economically
you may be poorer than you were with
smaller pay under different conditions.
It's when you receive an increase that
others don't get that shows you more
deserving. It's speeding ahead Of the
average that shows the stun that's IN
you. You must speed up to show It,

Use Brain and Drawn

Special talents give promise of great
ness but 30 often they end In vain
prophesy. The world Is full Of people
with special gifts, but many Of them
are never heard from. Genius without
push leads to soured life. Better be
a man with ordinary talents and push
than a wonder gone to seed. Get filled
with the idea of great achievement and
then set out to realize your dream. Use
your brains and your Drawn. Working
together this Is combination that can
defy ANNOUNCEMENTS and win success.

1t now develops that Lenine is
the tool of the Kaiser, and is still
trying to deliver Russia to Ger.
many That is the way it looked
to lot of us all the while. Think
of disorganizing the army. of dis
mantling the munitiOn plants, of
paralyzing all war organization un-
til resistance was no longer possible,
and then, with Germany still armed
and German army at their gates,
parleying over peace terms! Could
any man not entirely insane, not
understand that Russia would be
at the mercy of Germany? And a
fool should have known that the
only thing in the world that Ger
many respects is superior military
force. But Lenine, German tool,
has playeGxAis part in betraying the
ignorant masses of Russia, and to-
day German holds Russia as con-
quored country She is despoiling
that nation. robbing her people. and
will never withdraw until the allied
nations beat the Huns into submits
sion. In the face of these facts can
any sane mind doubt as to what to
do? To talk of peace is to compro-
mise with wrong and betray the
world into beastly hands. Germany
must be crushed. She must be
whipped into submission, and the
Hohenzollerns destroyed. That or
democracy perish from the earth.
