Lonesome Hil1'' is the heading of
bunch of items in the Colby Tribune.
Probably written by some disappoint-
ed lover.
Those canned editorials sents out
from Chicago or other city offices are
just like canned music. You can tell
them from original matter after you
have read them once or twice.
The day light law has been repealed
but the order does not take effect I'M
til next fall. The day light saving law
was one of the idiosyncracies of the
the many experiments which possess
ed no good qualities.
DIRTY politics. That is what the
other fellow says about you or your
party, which, if you had gotten it off
yourself about the other fellow or his
party would have been the Gospel
TRUTH
Among the acts of the present rail
road administration is the granting of
special rates to tourists on vacation
trips to the big summer resorts of the
nation and the rejection of special
rates to the harvest fields for the la
boring men. An act of wisdom, pre-
sumo.
A beggar who claimed to be deaf
and dumb was induced to talk quite
f1uent1y at Stockton the other day
when he was accused of stealing, over
which he became very angry. A
straight beggar would starve to death
if his living depended upon contribu-
tions from the writer. If he is selling
something that's different: He is pat
ronized
No, we do not run advertis en- ents
in The World just for the sake of fill
ing space We advertise our business
here because we believe in advertis-
ing and know that it pays. If it pays
others to advertise their business in
The World it will pay US to advertise
our business in it, hence we use adver-
| Using space each week and some times
double up a little.
Let's give them rest. Haven't you
in the service for a year or more is
not only ready to lay aside his uni
form and get into citizens clothing
! again but he is very anxious to do so :?
Haven't you also heard them rnutter
| complaint whenever they are expect
ed to appear in public parade in uni
| form? You certainly know these
| things. Then why not give the boys
a rest, for time at least. Have you
thought of one of the great big rea-
sons why you want the soldier to APP
pear in uniform If you have not, ]
will tell you It is simply to crafty
your own desires. You like to see a
soldier in uniform and regardless of
whether he likes to tog up that way
or not you want him to dress up and
exhibit himself for your satisfaction.
I like to see soldiers in uniform; like
to see them march and drill and to see
them at Attention, but if they have
had enough of it for the present I am
willing to let them have a rest. In a
year or two it will be different and
they will more willingly wear their
uniforms on two or three special occa-
sions during the year. For the pres
emit let's give them a rest One who
has been soldier is personally known
to most of US and they can be admit
ed to entertainments or gatherings
upon Identification and it should not
be necessary for him to wear his
uniform ticket as one soldier
expressed it not long ago.
We notice that the big Peter Robi-
doux ranch of $4,000 acres in Wallace
county is to be subdivided and sold at
public auction on July p, p, Pa and
rs. This is one of the most noted
ranches in western Kansas and made
close to famous by the actions of
Mr. Robidoux in closing up his large
store about twenty-five years ago and
allowing the stock to be destroyed by
age and varmits rather than to other
wise have disposed of it,
