"A MoGel Town" is Taken
 Up fer Discussion With
 The Girls of the School

The English class of the Seventh grade of the Ashdown Public Schools have chOOsen a good subject to write upon, "A Model Town,' and we are publishing one of the compositions, and the remaining ones will be pub lished in an early issue of the News
 The following was written by Miss Jnanita Twyman
 My idea of model town is first, it should have good citizenship, people who will take pride and interest in keeping their town pretty.
 "They should have public health of ficials, who will keep the town sani- tary, and free from contagious dis eases. The streets should be paved and kept clean, with trees along them. Each store and house should have a garbage can and the garbage hauled out of town each day and dumped
 The court house and lawn should be made pretty and kept clean. There should be neat and pretty homes and several parks, and other places of amusement
 The drug stores should be closed and nothing should be sold on Sunday.
 "There should be good roads leading out of town, so that people can come and go.
 People should refrain from splitting on the sidewalks, and there should be a law prohibiting it. Hotels and stores should be kept clean so that foods will be fit to eat.
 Mosquitoes should not be allowed to breed near the town. There should be electric lights, water works, news papers and other conveniences. They should have churches and school houses also.
 There should be stock law so that the cattle will not get into peoples yards and ruin them. In many ways ai town can be made model"

In reporting the trial and court opin- J. R. Bowles the News has tried to give as nearly as possible the substance ot the courts opinion. We draw from that the fact that while the court does not adhere to any legal rights on the part of MT. Bowles, he strongly inti- mates hat he has certain moral rights that should be recognized by the city council, and for that reason the matter was held up for a time. We hope that whatever is done will be equitable and right, that we will all live happily ever after, that the greatest good may come to the greatest number, that nothing may be construed as personal that will rankle in the future. Mir. Bowles is one of cur hest and most progressive men. There is no personal criticism to be attached to him. Things just came about in d way that was inevita- ble any time during the past eight years. AS to the quality of the city water we get various opinions. It will be now more than ever the duty of the al -l0rities 10 see that this water is kept pure. The people are going to demand that the mains be flushed un- til the water is pure, even at the cost of no profits whatever. Satisfactory service must come first

Who Is Responsible For the
 High Cost of Living?

In great way the people are. say : the great trouble is the Cost of High liv- ing. To illustrate this, we have seen grocer sell foodstuff at 20 per cent hlgh- CT than his competitor, and yet the peo- pie bought the high priced article.
 All during the war we sold P. & w. Quinine for $1.50 an ounce when it was worth $2 an ounce wholesale, and OUT competitors were selling it at $2.50 and 5, and yet they sold lots Of quinine. Who is to blame in these cases? The public, of course. We will admit that there has been great deal of profiteer- ing, but if your merchant puts an un- reasonable price on an article, and you know it and then buy it, who is to blame? Who is the sucker? In this case do we need legislation? No, we need little Common sense.
 Today the Model Drug Co., is selling Quinine at g while the others getting B Power and Weight man, the best qnnne mrde g Not only quinine but great many other articles sell at far less than competitors. Yet the people go kicking about the high living and go buying the high prices when they could buy stuff for third less. Yours orsPnces,
 MODEL DRUG co.
