OUR COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Occasionally, but not often, we hear of some community that ia blessed with rare and priceless spirit-the spirit of Tive and let live" But it is so rare as to be almost non-existent in this day of sharp practices and bunco games
 There is much of that precious spirit in this town, but there $ room for more.
 We have fully our share of good will and tolerance, but we could cultivate more with honor to our-- selves and profit to the communi- ty.
 Life to each of us consists mainly of what we make of it. We can cast the soft rays of sunshine and hap piness over our existence, or we can fill our lives with the shadows of greed and avarice and unsuitable longing for those things which we may not possess.
 This is our home-the place where most of our lives will be spent where memory is always dear to us-
 Shall we not seek to cast out what there is of the spirit of greed, and suspicion, and ungenerous rivalry among men?
 Shall we supplant it with one of kindness, of tolerance, and of good will toward each other?
 Shall we make honorable thrift the watchword of our community
 It is the ideal existence, and Is possible to any community where the people have the will and the courage to follow the path of hon. or and gentleness wherever it may lead.

SCENT POSTAGE AGAIN
It's Return Predicted Because of the
 Shortage of Clerks.

Chicago, March 16.-Along with higher rents, costlier clothing. in- creased street car fare and every thing the country may soon see q return to three-cent postage on first-class mail
 Something must be done to pro vide additional wages for postal clerks and other employees. Hun dreds are resigning to engage in more profitable work and the serv- ice is becoming badly crippled. Ex- perts say it requires three years to take the raw material and work up an efficient postal clerk, and with the force being constantly shot to pieces by resignations there is a prospect that all lines of business will be sadly hampered unless the pay is made attractive enough to hold the men.
 The Chicago office is about D. 500 men short now, and the 'tem- porary' subs" or beginners, receive more pay than do the regulars The subs" are paid at the rate of 50 cents an hour which figures out almost $1,500 a year under the hours they are now working.
 A delegation representing the clerks will soon go before Congress and acquaint that body with condi- tions here, which are said to be the worst in the country. The three cent postage plan meets with most favor. It is not believed much op- position would come from the big concerns which use millions of stamps, but the chief roar will come from the man who buys dozen stamps a year. The big business

Double Tragedy
 At Fayetteville

Fayetteville, March 1O.-Clarence Roller, aged 28, of Stillwell, Okla, this morning at 10 o'clock killed his mother-in-law, Mrs. A. N. Cole, of this city; shot his wife, Mrs. Fay Cole Roller, five times, seriously wounding her, and shot himself fatally in the lungs, dying at the city hospital three hours later.
 Roller married Miss Cole last June. They separated two months ago and Mrs. Roller has been here with her mother for some time. Roller arrived here this morning from Ft. Smith at 7:15. Before going to the Cole residence he visited barber shop for a shave and haircut. Just what preceded the shooting is not known, as Mrs. Roller is the only surviving witness and she is not in condition to be interviewed. With five shots in her chest and other parts of her body she is in a critical condition, but physicians at the hospital say she has some chance of recovery. It is believed that Roller went to the house to ask his wife to return to him, but she refused and the shoot ing resulted. It is also believed that Roller was under the influence of drug.
 Mrs. Cole was shot in the fore head and almost instantly killed. Her husband, A. N. Cole, of the Cole Land and Mercantile Company of Winslow was not at home, but arrived soon after the tragedy. He refuses to make any statement in regard to the probable cause of Rollers act.
 Rollers family lives at Lincoln, Ark, and his body was sent there this afternoon. Funeral services for Mrs. Cole will be held at 4 p. m. tomorrow.

 quOr qrol John Arbuckle ruled in an Pe.; :n;on handed down yesterday, af- p" he had been requested for such |ei \ oninion by both state and fed U u, VT authorities. The attorney gen ai ai said that no definite question |ral han asked of his office, but sst Gau he had simply been requested Y ,'' construe the law covering the |sle and shipping of intoxicating

 as .;nr to the federal statutes now [s force. and to construe the mean Pr of the term alcohol as used in Fs |hs hone dry laws of the state. |s Tho attorney general cited acts tbe General Assembly of 1917 1 nd amendments approved by the o1o legislature. In addition to hose acts, the attorney general |a;d the state has a general statute co;rst the sale of alcohol or any |n;ritous malt, to which three ex- |entions are made, one relating to [be securing of intoxicants for re- Eoious rites, one regulating sale |o druggists and pharmacists, and bne permitting the use of alcohol For industrial or scientific pur- poses.
 MT. Arbuckle said that it is his bpinion. in view of the acts of the legislature and the directions giv- pn, that no permits should be issued 10 druggists or physicians in the tate to sell whiskey, brandy or other intoxicating liquors of that nature, as under the terms of the bone dry act it is evident that the legislature i1tended that alcohol Hone should be transported into his state and from one place to mother, and sold and used in the

EVE LITERALLY PICKS LEMON

Topeka, Kan.-Contrary to ac- cepted belief that there were no apples in the Garden of Eden. It's all a translator's mistake Eve picked a lemon when she plucked the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge specifically she picked citron, close relative to a lemon, differing only, according to Webster, in that it is thicker rined, larger and not umbonate
 This was the information given to the Kansas State Horticultural Society by B. F. Smith of Lawrence, veteran Kansas horticulturist. in a lecture on "Bible-time Fruit"
 The word translated apple in the Bible is with great probability sup it's fruit" MT. Smith stated. "The citron is supposed to be the Me dian, Assyrian or Persian apple of the Greeks"
 MT. Smith is one of the oldest living members of the Kansas Hor- ticultural Society and pioneer of Kansas fruit farming. He is 84 years old, has scarcely missed one annual meeting of the society dur ing the nanny years he has been a member At one time he owned the largest pear orchard in the state. He was a pioneer in straw berry raising in Kansas and half the extensive acreage now devoted to this fruit is due to his efforts. In spite of his age he is finely vii gorous, which he attributes to the fact that he has never smoked or chewed tobacco or drank liquor.- Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

 Slowly but surely the iron rails arel reaching out to bind Cape Town to Cairo and Suez to Shanghai by way. os Persia, India. Burma and the Yangtss valley.

The SUI preme strategy of a railway that will connect the valleys of the Nile, the Ti- gris and the Euphrates. the Indus. the Ganges, the Irriwaddy, and the Yangtse lies in the fact that 1t will be flanked by the most thick1y settled portions of the worlds surface. and can from th5( first have commercial as well as strat y egic value.

A * * March Promises To Go Out Lamb-Like

M7OT all the folklore weather signs AN are dependable, but that which
 has it that when March comes in like a lion it goes out like lamb, and vice versa.
 This March not only came in like
 lion but it remained for the most
 part cold and windy. But with the
 vernal equinox passed the days are becoming springlike. Fine weather is promised for the 31st of March, and Easter should be ideal.
 The farmers throughout the south have suffered from excessive rains, followed by winds which made blow ing all but impossible. Planting will be late, but with the beautiful days to come the crops will begin to
 catch up.
