yearninR to visit foreign lands.
They are not satisfied with the
place they call home.
You can stand on a certain
street corner in Paris and see
people from many nations
stroll by within n limited time.
II is the same in London. and
Rome, and in any of the other
great metropolitan cities Of the
old world.
Wherever there is wealth
and fashion and excitement
you will find congregated peo-
pie from the four corners Of
the earth. They dress and act
a little differently. and speak
in many tongues, but otherwise
they are Just people-like
yourself. and others around
you.
There is more to be gained
by seeing our own country than
there is in travelling in foreign
lands.
And there is infinitely more
to be gained by being happy
and contented in our own
homes.

For America there is one
great outstanding danger in
connection with the Washing

We are all expecting great
things as a result of the parley,
but as TO Just what those ex-

cropping in darkness.
We are looking for some.
thing to turn up and relieve US
Of the burdens under which we
are staggering.
Something may turn up. but
under the most favorable con-
diti0ns even we cannot hope 10

Only time can produce those
results.

WANTS SALARIES INCREASED
Senate Bill Provides Raise for Officials
of Small Counties,

Seven bills introduced in the senate
today by Senator McIvor, of Hoxie,
Sheridan county, provide for increases
N the salaries of county officers in
counties of the state which have less
than 10000 population.
In counties with such small popuIa-
ton, where the salaries are fixed in
proportion thereto, the wages paid to
the county officials are less, in many
cases, than they could make at day
labor. For this reason, Senator Nc
Ivor said today, it is hard to get eff
Client officers in the court houses of
the sparsely populated western coun-
ties.
Only thirty-eight counties of the
state are affected. and the total in
crease will be only about $3S,000, or
$1,000 to the county. The increases
provided for range from 500 a year
to $500 a year for the different
officers.
