@One good thing about our coul- try, every man thinks he can run it, xs witness, the crop of presidential candidates" says the Pittsfield Eagle. Toaus it seems that this very fact is more true than it seems and offers a porblem for solution that is even now in the hands of leaders of the republi- can and democratic parties. The lack of leadership shown by many men of national prominence would naturally give others of equal ability the idea that they could run the nation fully as well if not better. But compara- lively few thought they-could equal Roosevelt's efforts and we doubt fl there was one who thought he could do better. Let's have /real leader to vote for next fall and by the time the following election arrives the crop of would-be presidents will either be smaller or of higher qual- ity. Tn either case of national public benefit.

If you want to color beautifully. color as best pleases you at. quiet times, not so as to catch the eye. nor to look as if 1t was clever or difficult to color in that way, but so that the color may be pleasant to you when you are happy and thoughtful.

EVERY CITIZENS BUSINESS

When one stops to think of the great benefit fire department is to a town in the way of dollars and cents saved in insurance as we'll as by fire, we probably forget the individual entirely and think only of the de- partment as whole. Not being fa- miIiar with the members of our own volunteer fre-fghters and the strict rules of this organization is perhaps one cause for the lack of appreciation being shown in some instances.
 Here we have an organization vol untarily giving many hours for the 7 benefit of every resident. When the siren blows, no matter whether it is in the middle of the night or during the day, these men rush from thei1 homes or their work to protect prop erty threatened by fire. What is their compensation for service? Nothing. Absolutely nothing, except the natural reward these good citi- xens receive in the way of apprecia ton from those who know of theii good work On the other hand, 2 member not reporting at fire is sub. feet to fine.
 1t is every citizens business to sup port this organization, both morally and financially. Help them in theil 2 efforts to equip the truck they have purchased and to maintain theil efficiency proven in the past. Every enc is directly benefited by it's effort md everyone should be willing tt contribute to it's support.

THE ANCIENT WEST.
By Roderic Quinn.

by NOucTiC luiIlH
What is it in the West
That calls and calls to me,
That fills me with unrest
And will not let me be?
| can not choose but heed
That summons on the wind
1t is more breadth l need
For body and for mind?
Is it some lonely track
That calls me on and on
The embers, cold and black,
OF camp fires dead and gone?
The haggard, broken men
Who camped within their CLEANS,
And dreamed and drowsed and ther
Arose and passed like dreams?
Or is it but the call
Of Nature, great and rude
OF silence over all,
Vast space, vast solitude?
IT'S said that in wide lands,
Wide seas, the soul Is drawn
More near by secret hands
To sunset. stars and dawn.
Am so called to share
In mood select, sublime,
With eatrh and sky and air,
Some wonder grayed by Time?
Is it the calm that reigns
Above, around, beneath
The mystic, mighty plains
That seem to dream and breathe?
Perchance some ancient quest,
Race-old, still calls me on,
Like those who wendell west
Ere yet was Babylon.
To seek, and find, and know,
To dream, and fail, and die,
They followed where the glow
Of sunset lit the sky.
This truth gray years attest
Tho star or empire falls;
The West is ever West.
And evermore it calls!

Consultation with the local archi-

home builder. These building experts
