law by all citizens, whether as in
diyiduals or as aggregates. Ii they

REGARDING CITY BANDS

In a recent issue of the Argus-Lead-
er an editorial touched on the CUES
ton Of municipal bands and they men
toned the band at Mitchell as n Of
the eminent instances where support
by the city had accomplished a great
deal for the pleasure OF the people and
more for the advertising Of the city.

the bigger cities they regard the main
tenance OF municipal bands as n Of
the greatest things a city can do for
itself. Mitchell has a municipal band
which secures an annual a~ppropria-

MANS ~IMGRATiTUCE

Jefferson Beetle ~" is getting
a lot of roasting from some of the re-
turned soldiers, but the writer does
not swallow" all he hears them say
about it. None of them are giving the
"Y" credit for the good it has done
in France, hence, the complaints to
us are the same old story of human
frailty. I is a fact that you may do a
man a thousand good turns" and
only one bad turn" and he will for
get the many good things in you and
remember only the one time that you
treated him badly. Man is u%ngrateful
and always was. 1t is a human trait
to look carefully after the debit side
of friendships ledger, but the credit
side we always neglect most o
fully.

ty. An entire quarter section was Sc
lected by Mr.. Johnson for the home
site. The house and other buildings
will be located with regard to drain

sites for show and shade trees, and
for various other gardening effects.
