10th Birthday


we start on the 18th year Of it's
existence as an exponent
of Roy. The years which the
present editor has spent as the
recorder Of events have been
strenuous years, fraught with
much veal and woe, for us and
the community, but when we re
member back to the conditions
when we first began recording e.
vents, we can but marvel at the
advance we have made. Then
there was no wheat or bean fields
no tractors or autos, no perma-
nent homes, no dairy herds, no
threshing machines, no rural
maitor telephone lines, nothing
but'a little town with a lot of O.
pen range country surrounding
and the efforts being made at
farming were the subject Of ILL
concealed scorn Of the men who
had grazed the country with
focks and herds and who KNEW
it could never be farmed.
= The change is too apparent to
recite today. With less than one
per cent of the land under culi-
tivation miracles have been per-
formed by men who won't take
"No" for an answer, even from
dame Nature.
The last year, with all its strife,
turmoil, and victory. The pre-
sent convention Of nations in it's
effort to secure the peace of the
world for the future, while an
archy and violence, hunger and
destitution, following the wake
of the great war, still leaves us
cropping for the Light we believe
is just ahead.
There are times when we wish
devoutly to get away from active
participation in events and the
duty Of recoding them, then the
lure of the future and the duties
Of the present, make it a joy to
be IF not really in the game at
least along the side lines with a
pencil and pad.
We hope for much from the
year covered by volume 16, of
the S-A, and if Roy and this
community outgrow us as a re-
corder of events we shall be glad
to resign the job to younger and
more competent hands. If we
can keep up with and procession
we want to do it but we shall
never want the pace slakened on
our account.
We appreciate the patronage
and support you have given US
the past year ana modestly ad-
nit we have given you a home
paper a little above the average
Of country weeklies. We admit
we could have done better with
more financial support, but we
didn't have it SO did our best
with what we had. We have
given, of our time, labor and ad.
yertising space to the activities
of the past year, an amount if
charged up in dollars and cents
which would be creditable, and
we have filched out Of our earn
ings, dollars which we donated
to the same cause even tho these
dollars cost US II cents apiece in
interest:
'We're off for another year and
whatever the race or the stakes
well be in the running, and
whish ali our readers the sue.
cess we hope for ourself, and
that the highest ideals Of the
great minds now striving fol
World Peace may become a re
ality.

Burke. of Pittsburg. II directs the
President to take over and operate
the mines. effect a satisfactory wage
and working agreement with the
miners. and 70 sell the coal at actual

the resolution is in accord with a

will have to work out the problem.
