That was just about a month ago, and now I am in as good shape as I eyer was. I have gained thirteen pounds already, and feel just as fine and dandy all the time.

Several weeks ago, the fire depart
ment asked the council for money for
new truck for the chief. 1t was adj
mitted that a new truck was urgent
ly needed but as the city was short of
funds it was decided to use the old
truck while longer. But a little
later the council found money to pay
for an auto truck for the street de-
partment. No doubt the street de-
partment needed the truck, and is
putting it to good use., But the fire
department needs a new truck even
more. The present truck has been in
use for years and is almost worn out.
1t won't climb ordinary hills on high.

We are in receipt of letter from
the narrow minded editor of little
paper up in Dakota, who wants the
zone system retained for publications,
SO that country newspapers will not
be exposed to the competition of big
city dailies and magazines. The
bunch that runs the Star has always
been smart enough to turn out pa
per that publications in other towns
ard states codldn't compete with, and
when it can't it will go into some
other business. That zone law is a
rotten proposition, originating in the
narrow mind of a near statesman
who was never able to do anything
that would give real journalist any
excuse to praise him. We believe in
the newspapers of America circulat-
ing with the utmost freedom in every
state, county and city. They are the
best disseminators of education and
the real guardians of liberty"

The real test of the value of any

Y. NJ. G. A. in this county is anxious
that the people shall have human in
terest- stories concerning the work
and not be satisfied merely with
theories which could be presented. As
a sample of what counties are doing
which have this organization the read
er's attention is called to the repQt
of the county committee of Oneida
county, N. Y, which is as follows:
"The county committee of Oneida
county, New York, has many achieve

past year of effort. Among others
are the following:

Managers and foremen of eight

work. There were 173 in attendance
and the gathering was unanimously in
favor of welfare work. Some have
already begun it, others are making
plans. Our county secretaries are
cooperating with many of the indus
tries.
Community gatherings have been
promoted and popular and helpful
speakers have been brought into the
smaller towns. Local committees have
been organized to promote this kind
of work and the attendance and in
terest have been exceptionally good.
"Our county organization has also
given attention to the training of
leaders. Sixteen association groups
are now in the county with sixteen
leaders and number of assistants,
and nine other organizations of men
and boys.

both financially and otherwise. The
campers assisted the farmers.

marked the occasion and there were

made them. Is not the assertion,
"Life is what we make it," a twin
sentiment to the question, "Am l my
brothers keeper" If your life is
what you make it. other peoples lives
are what they make them. Then why
should any of US help others? What
is the use of charity, of fraternity?
Is it not apparent that our lives are
largely what other people make them,
and that we all have a large share in
making the lives of others?

State Superintendent of Education
wants the state to furnish text books
to scholars in the public schools from
the chart class to the twelfth grade.
Since the people are taxed to the
breaking point to keep up the schools,
it is only justice for the state to fur
nish the children with books. We
think, however, that the power to Sc
lect and purchase books should be
lodged in legislative committee of
five men, of whom not more than two
should be school teachers.
