That this is a good town. Do
you ever tell others so?
That 0. A. Roupe's idea of get
ting the 'hoppers before they get
you is beyond argument.
That time waits for no man
but it just hangs on like the devil
for woman before mirror.
That we are still firmly con-
vinced that the dawn Of universal
peace is still in the realm of the
dawns.
That local outdoor sports are
now i'll progress with the time
honored game of horseshoes off in
the lead.
That we're just pining to
stratch off an editorial on the low
cost of something. But we can t
find the something.
That it's getting pretty bad
when mother has to say: "Run
outside Willie, ] think father is
going to try to get central"
That regardless Of the fact that
we have national prohibition,
many people have wet goods in
heir cellars-after hard rain.
That the bright star of hope
shines steadily before us all, but
We never see it so long as we keep
'ur eyes glued to the ground.
That numerous reports indicate
considerable reseeding will have
0 be done this spring because of
he late night freezes, and though
Us like chaperoning bum tooth
0 the dentist, the farmers are
nxious to have it over with.

That many really economical
mothers wonder a lot at what 4
meant by this home economics we
hear so much of in the schools
when the average pupil today re
quires so much more equipment
than he did few years ago, and
gets very little more practical
training.
That a great many men figure
if they can run their business with
their own family they can afford
to offer their product cheape,
than If they had to hire help-and
just here is the reason so many
leave home to find employment.
Isn't your own family and its help
worth as much az the other fel
lows? Why cheaper those OF
your own household?

LOOKING AHEAD.

Would it not be wise thing
for some people to commence
practising a little more economy
than they are or have been doing
for several years. Wages will not
always be as high as they are at
present and many other things
will be cheaper during the next
few years than now. But the
money you have or that you will
save will not be any cheaper. On
the other hand it will be higher
and its purchasing power will be
much greater than now.
The Federal Reserve Bank has
notified the people that they are
cutting down loans for specllla-
tive purposes and will confine
their loans to those that are nee
:essary for production and the car
rying on Of legitimate business.
In other words they will not ac-
cept loans for speculative business
whether it be for the purchase Of
land OF Tor something else, unless
it is for person wanting to buy
farm for a home.
Then if the things we have to |
buy come down, the value or pur-
chasing power of a dollar will be
greater, just as much greater as
the price of the commodity de-
creases. Then why not take adj
vantage of the cheap money at the
present time and save up some of
it for the future. Or, if you hap
pen to be in debt, use it to pay off
your obligations while you can
settle them at about SO cents on
the dollar, instead of contracting
debts that you will have to payl
when it will take two dollars for
one at the present time. |,

age increase for the ten years pre-
vious of 771,947.
The slump started, he said, in
1918, which showed an increase of
only $4,000 members. The hith-

Had it occurred to you, Mr.. Sat
isfied Citizen, that today there is
a great demand for the services of
competent people, a demand so
great that they car choose their
location. The town that does not
keep up to date will 500 lose its
progressive young men and wom-
en-. They will seek a community
where the creed of an interdepen-
dence and cooperative spirit is a
live and vital issue. Is your COM

a right good time to think and

1t might stimulate interest in
your community to stop moment
and ask yourself these questions
Who is the shrewdest and most
successful business man in your
town? Who is the most benevo-
lent natured man in town? Who
is the "whitest" man in town?
Who Is the most aggressive man
in town? What man does the
most for the expansion and the
upbuilding of the town? Who is
the most popular man in town?
What man in this town (minis-
tiers excepted) comes the nearest
to following the teachings of the
Golden Rule? Without reflection
upon or prejudice to others, sup
pose you name the man in each
class whom you think is most
clearly entitled to the honor? 1t

A few minutes each day will

possibilities of it's future are so
pregnant with results as to be be-

consummation. Every citizen of
this town could give a few min

THE OPINION OF OTHERS.


You, reader, have probabl.
heard some fellow blow up ant
exclaim, Public opinion be damn
ed don't care rap for it. ;
But he does-we all do. 1t is hu
man nature for us to want oul
neighbors to think well Of us
Even if it is not especially so as
a matter of personal pride, it is
so as one of good judgment and
sound business policy.
The man who is well thought
of has many friends, and these
friends, are a valuable asset to
him in business-they bring him
trade and increase his financial
revenues.
There are many things a man
may do that would lower him in
the estimation Of the public, yet
would not bring him into conflict
with the law. And have you no
ticed that men invariably conceal
. tllCsSC I1ttlC dClo do IllttCll dS DOS-
sible? And why? Because they
do not wish to incur the displeas-
ure Of their fellow men and
women.
Were it not for the moral eff
feet Of public opinion this world
would soon become a maelstrom
of iniquity and debauchery. 1t
would be impossible as a place of
residence for respectable men and
women. And to bring children
into existence under such condi-
lions would be a crime against hu-
mainly.
Public opinion makes or I'M
makes us, as we court its verdict.
We value it, and we cherish its
good reports.
For when all other courts fail,
public opinion becomes the court
of last resort.

A few years ago a presidential
campaign was a live one. Things
were whooped up with a whizz,
band wagons paraded, and the
eagle screamed nightly. But
now? Say, a Sunday school pic
mic would be a roaring cataract in
in comparison. The woods are
full of candidates pussyfooting
around, and yet we are willing to
wager that there isn't a person in
this town who can name them all.
The voter is a pretty big man him
self these days, and a presidential
candidate is just an ordinary fish
in his eyes.

Farmers Chautauqua Coming

1 Farmers Of Washington, Idaho
and Oregon have planned three u
four farmers chautauquas for the
month of June. These chautau
| quas will be for the purpose OF
enlisting the sympathy and sup
port of every farmer in a sane
and intelligent farm organization.
( The need of a farm organization
has long been felt and the farmers
are just now waking up with a
full realization of what organiza-
ton means to them. During the
month of January, Mr.. A. A. Ell
more, president of the Farmers
Union, went east to secure speak
ers for these chautauquas. He Sc
cured whom we believe some of
the big men of the nation as farm
leaders for these chautauquas. The
men and women on the program
will have a message that will in
struct and enthuse every farmer
in the west. The following are
some Of the speakers: j. R. How
ard, president American Farm
Bureau Federation, Ames, Iowa;
H. W. Wood, president United
Farmers Of Alberta, Calgary; Miss
Esther Hosford, platform orator
and magazine writer, Cleveland,

A FEW MINUTES EACH DAY

Only a few minutes each day
1t is only little to give, but great
in possibilities for the future of
this town.
In a few minutes each day one
can keep the rubbish out of his
yard, and the fences in repair, and
the trees trimmed, and the walks
repaired and in good condition.
And when you return from youl
labors at night you will appreciate
all this and so will your neighbors.
Then a few minutes each day
and you will have many convent,
ences about the house that were
not there before. And your wife,
who makes home attractive for
you, will know that you are mind

Patrons of Loew's Bijou found much
 To entertain in the bill for the first of the week and the offering was well received by the large audiences at all Ithe performances yesterday. The vaudeville programme is well up to the billing with comedy features pre- dominating.
 As usual. Tom Mix makes big hit with his own picture ''The Daredevil and every one who saw the perform ance admitted that the famous star has made a ten-strike as an author and producer., and retains his reputa ? ton as the screens most daring star.
 In The Daredevil" Mix makes him F self do more thrilling stunts than ever before and takes more chances with his life than in all his previous sue cesses combined. It is big photoplay superbly handled full of thrills and of action and perfectly directed and photographed.
 Art Harris furnishes all the fun in the musical comedy offering '1'll Say So" He is a most capable comedian and keeps the laughs coming every minute he is on the stage. The song numbers are well rendered by the rest of the company.
 Col. Diamond and his pretty grand daughter offer a novel dance number. The colonel Is certainly spritely for 2 man of s2 years of age and the girl Is very graceful dancer They offer some new dances and an old-fashioned cakewalk.
 Arthur Rigsby. in a blackface mum Der. tells some good stories and sings comedy songs. Marjorie Bonner and Billie Powers offer a comedy skit with songs and dances, and eccentric tum bling is the offering of Montambo and Nap.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IS
w what Of the future OF the ma
tionaI guard2 This question IS
now engaging the attention OF mem
bers OF congress. national guard Of
ficers and officials at the war de-
parment-
soon after the war was declared
and the United States went in on the
side Of the allies the national guard
mustered into the service OF the
United states and became federal
troops. This left the country without
any national guard.
In some states new national guards
were organized to take the place Of
those mustered into the federal serv-
ice. This occurred only in a few
states. however The state that raised
the biggest and most efficient new
cuard was Texas Three fun brlgades
were organized in that state under
the supervision Of GOV. Hobby and
Adjt. Gen Harley. These troops com
pared raworably with any national
guard organization. They were ade-
quately armed, uniformed and
euufnped. Their officers went %
school and the three new brigades
were on the point OF being mustered
into the federal service and probably
would within a snort time have been
sent 10 France had not the armistice
interviewed
These briEades were afterwards
turned into a cavalry division Texas
Is now the only state with a fun di-
vision Of national guard cavalry.
Pew States HAVE As Good
New York Wisconsin, Illinois and
Pennsylvania are the Only states that
now have anywhere near the national
guard organization that exists todag
In Texas.
At this tine The organized strength
cf the new national guard only num-
hers about 5000 officers and men
The authorized strength at present Is
