BACK AGAIN!

While it is not the intention Of this publication to create a wave or con sternation and apprehension, we are impeIied to call attention to the fact that summer is drawing to a close.
 If we may be pardoned for introduc- ing 2 new figure of speech we might observe that much water has passed under the bridge since June's first couple leaned over the bridge rail and tried to read the future on the moonIit water ripping below Which is an- other way of saying many things hap pened this summer. Some romances got away to an early start, bore fruit, and the romancers have come back from their vacations to new apart ments where they have settled down to learn something of the idiosyncra- cies of the persons they married Other romances have been shattered and the echo of the crashes Is commingled with sighs of regret and sighs of relief
 The hotel clerk knows that summer must be drawing to a close by the stack of worthless checks he cashed for the usual per cent of shoestring aristocracy that hits the high class hostIeries with a can of saNdines and a box of crackers buried in pretentious looking grips and handbags. Already Ike Bloom is making mental note of his summer earnings as he paws over bundle of unredeemed pawn checks and comments, "Oi. So soon is it Sep ternberi"
 On the other hand. Shultz, the butcher, Barney Able, the grocer, and their fix are sending out statements weks old now. adding personal touches here and there, such as. Please remit, : "Please!'' Have a hearti" Hope you had a pleasant vacation" etc. Tn stores and offices business waits while 'the latest returned one'' nar- rates a score of hafrraising incidents that occurred during the two weeks al the resort or in camp or at the crazy | little boarding house.
 | But wherever we go or however we go, we all come back in the same shape flat on our backs, dead broke, gla6 to get back-but still wishing we were starting it all oyer again. Yeah, sum mer is a great little institution while she lasts

A Man of Courage

The American people love of courage Especially quality desirable in those who are looking for their support their paudits. Be the candidate presidential possibility baseball player he needs have self reliance initiative a well-develope@ sporting in the treatment of opponents if he well with the general citizenship. When, therefore. Senator Harding was nominated by the Republican party as it's candidate presidency, United States inquired first concerning ability think consistently for himself carry results of his thinking despite any kind of opposition.
 They did not know we'll Active in public Iife his activity of the unostantatious kind Holding we'll defined opinions every important question before him people he had supported them consistently and courageousy but without any blaring of trnbets Haunting standards. Except to those who knew him intimately he appeared to lack the qualities that the American people would demand in candidate. But their fears were ~un- founded as has been shown by Governor Campbell, following the meeting of Senator Harding with the governors n August 31
 When Governor Campbell and several representa- lives of League of the Southwest arrived in Marion on day before the date of the meeting they were told that Harding could discuss the prob ems connected with reclamation and conservation programs of the states. Those in charge of the Republican campaign alleged that it would be nexpedIent time demand definite state ment from Republican standard bearer on ques- tions opposed by the great body of voters central states, and 1t woud be ImpoSSlpe 10 have Senator Harding express himself.
 Undaunted however, Governor Campbell had an interview with the candidate n evening of the lay governors conference. The needs and aims of the west outlined to him. Senator Hard Ing listened attentively instructed his secretary to make notes salient points brought out during he discussion and when he appeared before the assembled governors the following day. devoted his entire speech the reclamation problems of the west and the solving them quickly and efficiently
 To the surprise of the western governors. his speech was direct examination of the attitude of contention they must for the development of which, when reclaimed will be direct competi- with their own. He showed that the progress of the United States had been due to the manner in which it's people opened up empires He showed that increased production would be benefit to the farmer of central states. He told these opponents they be untrue the ideals of Amercanism they persisted in opposing the recarna ton of the west, and he promised support of its plans for the future.
 Certainly Senator Harding support the west. The qualities that his the quail ties of a of broad vision, stands definitely policies thinks clearly and independently and is neither dodger trucker.

OVER THE RIVER

Where the Black Canyon road cross es the Agua Fria, there is a village called Canon. They keep a team of horses there to pull autos across the river.
 The wrinkle is that if you hire the team on the bank it's costs you one dollar. If you get stuck i1 the stream and then holler for help it's two dol lars. Recently two cars pulled into the village and while a couple of ma tives stood by and one driver explained the wrinkle to the other driver. They both decided to take a chance and if they stuck they would be glad to pay the two bones to be pulled out.
 The first car dipped in, got two thirds across and then his clutch be- gan to slip. He settled down in tha water The second driver gave out 2 merry ha-ha and dived in. He stuck along side of the first.
 .Ahoy. with that team!" both sane A couple of the village denizens sauntered down to the shore.
 "Got stuck. did yer"
 Yeah. come on with that team"
 What team?"
 Why that team standing over there; we want to get out of here-" That there team aint no count That there team can pull you if you hook right on to lem before you gil in the river The other team that pulls you out of the river is gone uI l in the hills bout ten miles and nc tellin' when they'll git back"
 Well, what are we going to do?'
 Dunno, guess y'll haf ta stay there until they gets back It was a rank frameup. What the driver wanted was an offer for more money. Did he get it? He did not The two parties kicked off their shoes and set to work with jacks and rocks and in an hours time had built rocl road under the first car and got it out
 When the natives saw this, one hol- lered, "Say, the Boss says he'll pull that second car out for two-and- a. half"
 He was invited to go to hell. But ir pulling a Ford across the river, thu driver pulled the thing into the seconC stalled ear, banging up the rear fender Now" said the owner of the stalled car, you just go up and tell the Bos that will cost him ten dollars for new l fender. Or take your choice of hook ing on to this car with your team ant pull me out"
 He did mad the team just walke' away with the car.
 Maybe Jeff Martin at Canon cal enIighten us on this kind of shenan igan.
