MRE. G. H. REINHART Carnival Out of Luck

The Scott Combined Shows arrived in Williams on Monday, and set up in anticipation of a weeks run. The weather has proved so windy however, that shows succeeded in running but two nights out of the week and even then at a decided disad- vantage because of the wind and cold. Not content with this alone, the wind further added to their troubles and loss by tearing the top from the Merry-go-round and damaging number of tents. All together it was an i'll fated week for the carnival and they will leave on Saturday losers for their stop in Williams.
 From Williams the shows go to Flagstaff for a weeks stand there under the auspices of the American Legion, according to the announcement. of the man. ager. The company has clear he of attractions and the kid dies of the town are particularly aggrieved at the treatment ac- corded them by the weather.

HOW 5 LOCAL CITIZENS =
EARNED FIRST MONEY

Men rarely forget how they earned
their first money.
My father owned store. He gave
into my charge. in partnership with
my sister, and 10-cent counter.
We earned $125 in six. months. We
lent this money to a banker at Z per
cent" said Isadore A. Barth. This
was the first money l ever earned. I
was 9 years old.
Il also picked up quite a pocket
full Of change by carrying notes be-
tween young men and women. When
was a boy. there were no telephones.
Young men made engagements by
note. Now it is dates they make by
telephone. But the engagements and
dates are all the same as long as we
have Eve with u.s."
John H. Estes dropped corn with
hand planter, for which service his
uncle paid him so cents a day. He,
worked for two days and felt like
Croesus when he got his pay.
r. H. Gray shoveled wheat from
grain elevator into freight cars when
he was IL years old. Another small
boy worked with him. They were paid

THE LIQUOR, ISSUE

The platform Of both Republican
and Democratic parties are silent on
the wet and dry question. No deter
mined fight was made either. way on
the floor of the Republican national
convention. But in the Democratic
convention the fight was a bitter one.
1t resulted in the defeat Of both wet
and dry planks and the adoption of
middle course of neutrality.
The dry plank introduced by Bryan
and urged by him with all his elo-
quence read as follows:
We heartily congratulate the Democratic
party on its splendid leadership in the
submission and ratification Of the pro-
stitution, and We pledge the party to the
effective enforcement OF the Volstead Law.
honestly and In good faith. without any
increase I'm the alcoholic content OF per
mitted beverages and without any weak
ening Of any other Of Its provisions.
The following is the wet plank pro-
posed by Burleson:
The open saloon has been generally
condemned by the American people as a
menace to society and the well being Of
the people, and its restoration should not
be tolerated. The validity of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to the Constitution hav-
ing been sustained by the Supreme Court.
any law enacted under Its authority must
he strictly enforced. However. the Dem
Ocratic party pledges its utmost endeav-
ors to prevent this new grant of federal
power from being exercised in such man
ner as to become oppressive or deprive
the people of that individual liberty which
1t was the purpose of the union Of states
to guarantee and preserve through all
time. The Volstead Act, vetoed by a
Democratic President and passed over his
veto by a Republican Congress, is an ex-
treme exercise of the powers granted by
the Eighteenth Amendment. and 1t should
be 50 amended, in strict conformity with
the spirit and purpose Of the Constitution.
so as to eliminate therefrom its drastic
and unreasonable features. We favor an
amendment to the federal Constitution re-
quiring all amendments hereafter pro-
posed thereto to be ratified or rejected by
a referendum Of the qualified voters Of
the several states of the Union.

THE USE OF AN EXTRA DAY

What would you do IL you had {
day given to you, day not in the or
dinary scheme of days but one dropped
down from the blue sky for use al
you please. an extra day? This ques
tion was asked five persons in Co.
lumbia all of different occupations.
The lawyer said that he would &c
fishing. The retired farmer said thai
he had lots of spare days anyway and
that he expected that he would use
this one like any other. The chief OF
police said that he would probably &c
hunting or fishing. The woman stu
dent said that she would go on a pic
mic. The colored laborer Strengthened
up from his shoveling and said, I'D
work.
An analysis of these answers shows
the deep-seated desire for a rest, a
vacation, a change of some kind. The
retired farmer may be eliminated be-
cause he has lots of spare time and so
does not have particular use for the
spare day. OF the other four answers.
only one, that of the colored laborer,
favored day Of work. Perhaps his
reply was the answer of a slow mind
sc weighed with the problem of Iiv-
ing that it could not grasp the idea of
a free day. The other three longed
for a change and wanted that change
to be an outing.
This is as might have been expect
ed. Man was not made to live cooped
up in towns where buildings hedge
him in and cement walks keep his
feet from the ground. The long
story of man includes a vast period
of time during which he wandered in
the forests and over the plains. He
learned to love the freedom OF the
open air. Like a hawk soaring in the
sky he rejoiced in the mighty feeling
OF freedom he had. The odor of the
wood. the swaying Of the tall trees
and the feel of the stream on his max
ed body were grateful to him. The
following of the game trail and the |
'tealthy attack with its resultant kill |
awakened his keenest zest.
These primitive instincts are still

THE NEW BOOKS
sHOw TO Speak French

1t is the opinion of Marie and Jenne
Yersin that the greatest reason why
Americans have trouble learning to
speak French is that they do not learn
the idioms. They say that it is i'm
possible to understand a language
without having a knowledge of its
idioms. In their book. How to Speak
Like the French, they give all the
idioms and current expressions Of the
French language, leaving out purpose
ly those that are seldom used. The
point insisted on in this book is that
the French idiOms and not the Eng
lish idioms translated, be used.
