Mark Twain Doesn't Come Back

in their Modern Library Series under the
title of The Curious Republic Of Gondoar
by Samuel L. Clemens, Esq, lately
Mark Twain. Many of the sketches are
Of the early '70s. They are shreds and
patches and they smell Of the pot that
boils. They are interesting because Mark
Twain's potter name is on them. Every
thing that a great man does is interesting
merely because he does it. The stupidi-
ties of Homer, Shakespeare and Walt
Whitman throy great sidelights on their
genius. Nothing that the author of Tho
Mysterious Stranger, Tom Sawyer or
Huck Finn did with his pen is unim-
portant. But, seriously, could not get q
smile-brain or otherwise-out of these
"stories." 1t may be that l need a vaca-
ton. Mark is having his, and posing as

1 recognize the fact that about 100000
600 persons in various parts Of the world

Huck Fem, his jumping frog, his limo

HELP THE ARMY LAssIEs

Out of the black picture Of misery the
Great War painted, stands the figure OF the
Salvation Army Lassie with her blue uni
form and red lined bonnet. Second not even
TO the dainty Red Cross nurse, she is the cpi.
tome Of all that was good, all that was kind
all that was merciful, and all that was thot-
ful of the needs of the doughboys
The position she holds today was earned
by service She gave, and gave freely, to the
fighting men. They honor her. They res
pect her. That honor and respect she gained
by giving of herself in their hour of danger.
Any doughboy will tell you what the Saliva.
ton Army workers did in France and Elan
ders. The Salvation Army raised the lowlv
doughmut to height of fame that is not
surpassed by England's famous plum pud-
ding, or Americas national dish, ice cream.

raised the dropping spirits of thousands Of

During this week the Elks, that body of
big hearted, wholc-soulcd fellows who few
years ago launched the Big Brother move
ment, have determined to see 10 il that the
Salvation Army in Oregon shall be able f.

war debts and serve the needs of those who
come to it without having to turn them away

never attempted greater work. They will
succeed for the unsclishncss of their effort

LET ONTARIO HELP

Ontario and Nyssa are, so far as we have
learned, the only communities in this section
of the valley that are not going to celebrate
the Nations birthday with home town
celebration.
That does not mean, however, that the
citizens of these towns are less patriotic than
their neighbors' tho some might so consider
it. Patriotism is not shown by mere outward
demonstrations which have their time and
place and proper value.
This year Ontario will have the oppor-
tunty to join with its neighbors in their cf-
forts and by joining them add to the sue
cess of the celebration, enjoy their hospital
ity and have the added pleasure Of seeing
how other communities handle their public
functions.
Now is the time in which the people
should be thinking about "Whcrc to spend
the Fourth" And when that comes up fer
discussion around the family dinner table
the Argus would commend the idea of cclc-
brating with our ncighboring town Of Vale
Vale is going to stage a real old fashioned
Fourth of July celebration, and home COM
ing for the soldier boys Of Malheur county.
Ontario citizens by making the journey TO
Vale will have a good time and will aid IN
giving fitting reception to the boys who
served the nation in its hour of need. This
union Of the two objects is timely and appro-
PIRATE II is certain that the energetic citi-
zens of the county seat will do themselves
proud in their effort and therefore are en-
titled to the cooperation of Ontario people.
There are many Ontarans who havc
close ties across the river in Payettc county,
where in Payette, they too are going to have
a celebration and reunion which will be well
worth attending. That there will be many
Ontarans present there goes without saying.
There will be many Ontarans who will visit
both cities sometime between early morning
and late evening and enjoy part Of each
program, and thus aid in ccmentmg the
Friendly ties that exist with our neighbors

CAN NOT ONTARIO CLEAN UP?

Every day some citizen of Ontario gives
voice to bitter dcnunciation Of the unsanita
ry conditions of the City, the unsightly ap.
pearance Of the streets and alleys, the ulI-
kempt, rlm-down-at-the-hee style of beauty
that adorns the lots of the city.
II is wrong, however. to condemn a'l
Ontario for the condition which generally
presents itself thruout the city, and herein
lies the trouble; too great n portion of Ontu-
rio townsitc property is in the hands of no',-
residents; and too, the population Of Onta-
rio is scattered over too much territory
In other words the slovenly appearance Of
the city may be traced to too ambitious Il
real estate boom few years ago.
Here and there over the city are lawn,
and flower gardens, clumps of shrubbcry,
and climbing roses that would command at
tenton and admiration in any city. In such
homes dwell those who take JOY and pride
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1919-06-26

in fine surroundings. Their character and
ideals are expressed in their homes
The only complete remedy that the Ar.
gus sees for the present condition is gencr-
al upbuilding of the city. Vacant lots are
never slightly save where used for garden,
Let Ontario proceed to put foundations un-
der the air castles which were dreamed of
years ago. Then there will be people on TIE
vacant lots and the problem of cleaning up
the city will be simplifed.
In the mean time, an effort to clean up
the city park, to rid the alleys o fthe down
town district of their filth, and a constant
inspection and rigid enforcement of the
health regulations will materially add to the
appearance of the city; while the use of Il
moving machine on the alfalfa that grows
in the streets of the residence section will
also help

detached l wasn't sure that she had
really grasped what Katherine was

her comparison Of the sprawling, un-
steady chirography on the envelopes
which had caused me so much
worry.
When she had finished her scru-
