AWAKEN. FELLOW CTS!

Fellow Citizens. when the oNtrava- eant idees concerning time and money have assumed the alarming proportions that they have with the youth ot our Jay. we say it is tune Co awake. to the dire peril that ConfrOnts the nation.
 The editor of the Cancels Back has 'onE had a sneaking notion that our young men and women of today have hecn spoiled iu their idces of what is hard work, and the experiences of one uf our largest advertisers in trying to get an honest capable. and efficient young man willing 10 start at the bot tom and work hisself up. has finally convinced ms that unless our youth are taken in hand and given taste of the old hickory. this here fair republic Of ours will go the way of Rome. just when that great oligarChv was pitched headlong into the bitter throes of revo- luton.
 This here advertiser. hisself large employer or men. inserted an ad in our modest paper looking for a young man 70 do a few odd jobs around the ranch and general store. with a little milking and other small chores and sich. r was wonderful opportunity in thriv- ing desert town with hours and wages such as George Washington. Abe Lin cofu. Daniel Boon. perc Marquette. David Copperfield, or any other of them great American pioneers would have gruspcd with avidity and offered pray crful thanksgiving to Him for such rrovidential opportunity.
 But Fellow Citizens how did the youth of our day receive this generous offer of assistance from this big heart cd advertiser He got only one answer. and that from smag aleck of a young Whipper snapper that thought he was smart This cutie wrote and said that he had been taking a vacation coaling a battleship and now he was ready 10 go back to work if our advertiser could give him little more than 16 hours a day work to do. He said that S15.00 month twas so much that he was afraid he would become a spendthrft and careless of his money.
 We repeat. Fellow Citizens. that things have come to pretty pass when the youth of our land is permitted to Haunt their indigencies and extrava gHnce in the fact of Opportunity and Generosity such as that of our large advertiser. We repeat that the very foundations on which this grand dem Ocratic republic of ours is reared trcmbles 10 the very soles of her feet when such prodigalities are allowed to pass without the finger Of scorn and Inc birchrod being brought into play
 And if these grey land honorable hairs on this humble editorial head mean anything at an i'm the matter of judgment. We predict that the nation stands on the precipice of flabby fat uousness. ready 10 be ship-wrecked on the sands of luxury.

 Sliding off his rigid bed, the home coming soldier grabbed his baggage and tumbled out on to the station platform with motley gathering of passengers. Nobody in the crowd seemed at all in terested in the returning soldier-the erstwhile savior of his country" That is, nobody-until the little grey haired woman who was being buffeted around on the outskirts of the crowd spied him.

NATURE STUDY

There Is a difference between the
 East and West.
 There are a million, more or less, robins hereabouts these days, and marry a bit of publicity do they get in the local press. On the other hand, in the so-called East, suburbanites and com muters in and about the Windy City vie with one another in trying to locate the first spring robin. And seeing one they send special messengers, mortgage their homes to pay toll calls or. pull any other kind of wild stuff in trying to be the first to get their discovery to the nearest city editor. And what does the c. do?

As he tossed uncomfortably in his seat on the crowded chair car. Pvt. George Kistle, on his way home from the demobilization camp. fell to mus ing on the probable reception he and his handful of companions would get from their townspeople upon his ar rival home the coming morning.
 faint smile of satisfaction lit up his tired features as he recalled for the thousandth time since his entrance into the service the blood stirring fare well party given to She members of his contingent by the Red Cross, the cham Der of commerce, and other civic and fratenal organizations. There was the picnic at the park; the governors rousing talk, the pretty high school flower girls, the big parade the riot ous time at the depot-and then the roar of cheers let losse from the thousand threats when the conductor called out the final All aboard" The big band blared forth the Star Spang- led Banner and just as the soldier cargoed train started to move Pvt Kistle had leaned far out of the win dow and snatChed a final kiss from a fearful mother
 The scene faded from his vision as the returning hero sought comfort in  the unsociable plush chair. and damned the pioneers that located his home town so far from the demobilization camp. He was anxious to get back to the warm welcome of his townspeople.
 Hardly had his feet touched the plat form back in the old town then a young woman in the trim uniform of the Y. W. C. A. stepped up to Pvt. kistle and in businesslike manner said, 'I see you are a returned soldier. You will find your mother and friends at the little hut" just across the street. Just leave your suitcase and bag right on the platform here and l will have some of the boy scouts tske it over to the hut for you. After you have met your folks or whenever you are ready the women of the Red Cross Motor Re serve Corps will have a car at your service to take you and your mother or friends home or wherever you may wish to go'

Nor is it all unusual for scores of lone autoists town-b bound with empty i've and seven passenger cars daily to pass this crowd with an air Of oblivion. That is precisely why the men at the police station attracted attention.

Be fore those of the older ones in the crowd could recover from their amaze ment a handful of the younger girls. said Co be only recently imported to work for Inc legislature. scrambled into the car and were whiskod city-ward.

 In commenting upon the exciting in- cident, Miss Huntin Peck. for years an employe Of the statehouse. said Why 1t was shocking. It all happened before we knew what was going on. Of course, We might have been a little bit nasty in calling the police. but it was such an unexpected thing for an autoist to dO-and in broad noon hour when every one of us is usually half starved and anxious 10 get to town and back-why it Was so daring it's a wonder he didn't get away with it."
