Paint Costs 80 Per Cent Lower
A Little Time Spent In Yarl Will
Make Holly Beau Giful

The big paint-up campaign which
Was launched by the Great South,
west Association. will bear fruit In
Holly. Already several progressive
home owners are planning to paint
their property and generally i'm.
prove local conditions.
Painting materials at this time
aIel8 per cent cheaper than year
ago and at this tire the cost of
painting is but little above that
of the pre-war period. 1t should
not be necessary at this time to
advocate the dcsirability OF raint-
Ing to preserve the lumber In a
house. The chief point for empha-
sis is that spring is the timo Of
ye0r to make a decision and give n
contract to painter. And then
with the garden planted, flower
beds arranged, shrubbery trimmed
and spring house cleaning under
way with coat of varnish to the
floors and woodwork. Holly can

tors in this incisiye fashion:
~ a editor makes mistake,
folks say he ought to be hung
but il a doctor makes mistake
he buries and people dassent say
nothing because doctors can read

tor makes a mistake there is law
suits and big fuss but if doe
tor makes one there is a funeral

A doctor can use a word yard
long without anyone knowing
what it means; but if the editor
uses one he has to spell it. If the
doctor goes to see another man s
wife, he charges for the visit, but
if the editor ooes he gets a
charge of buckshot. When the
doctor gets drunk it's a case of
being overcome bv the heat, and
if he dies its from heart trouble.

TOO EASY.

1t is not to be expected thai
the recent indictment OF the gov
ernor and Lieutenant governor OF
Illinois for alleged illegal acts
while acting as state treasurer
should escape widespread discus
sion throughout the United
States.
Time and a jury will determine
their guilt or innocence, but their
Indictment serves to bring for
chilly to the public mind the fact
that we Americans are entirely
too complaisant for our individ-
ual and collective good.
The average voter has too lit
tie to say in the selection Of cam
didates who are to make the race
for public office. Our self-ap-
pointed political leaders very
considerably do the selecting for
us by secretly choking off those
who are not acceptable to them,
while the rest of us perform our
sacred duty as sovereign citi-
zensn by toddling up to the polls
and voting for them like good lit
tie fellows. 1t is seldom that we
ever dig down into a candidate s
past to determine whethher or
not he is a suitable man for an of
flee of public trust. 1t is equal
~ seldom that a politicians past
is resurrected to plague him I'M
less a rival politician goes gun
ming for him, as it is charged was
done in Illinois. 1t is often the
.case that rival candidates for an
office are both tarred with the
same brush, and neither cares to
scratch beneath the surface for
fear Of being forced to swallow
dose Of his own medicine.
What we need in this country |
is more independence and assert
iveness ON the part Of the plain
voters. We will always have po-
litical leaders, because we cannot
well get along without them, but
they should be taught to select
men of character and ability for
public office or expect them to be
defeated for the nomination or at
the polls. They should be taught
to understand that we want men
who will labor for the collective
good of all the people, and not be
swayed by the wishes of the boss
es who place them in office. But
these are things difficult of ac-
complishment until the plain vo-
ter removes the political halter
from his neck and stands forth a
free and independent man, voic-
ing and voting his own convic-
tons and accepting dictation
from no source, but manfully ac-
cepting the verdict of the major
ity when the votes have been
counted.
Public office is public trust.
1t should not be made an object
of distrust.
