Too Many JOhnnys Today.

A story told by Wallace ID. Sim
mons, President of Simmons Hard
ware Company, at recent meeting
of hardware dealers in Kansas City,
is being repeated in many parts of
the country because it so aptly il
lustrates one of the obstacles to a re-
vival of trade and prosperity. He was
speaking of the question of a general
Encouragement of market values, as
necessary to a revival of trade in
normal volume. He said:
zone trouble is that too many of
us are like little Johnny on his hob
by horse.
Two small boys-brothers received
as Christmas present given to them
jointly, a fine, large rocking horse,
the saddle of which Accommodated but
one. While the novelty of the toy
lasted both wanted to ride all the
time and there was quite constant
dispute as to which should do so. The
mother settled the matter by putting
them both on together, one behind
the other, and they rocked along in
apparent peace and harmony while
she stayed by and watched them.
AS soon, however. as she went about
heh household duties, after warning
them that there should be no more
arguments, Johnny who was in the
saddle while Willie sat behind with
his arms around sJohnny's neck, was
heard to remark to Willie in what
was intended to be a persuasive and
convincing tone, Willie it seems to
me that if one of US should get off
! could ride better
There are too many Johnny's to-
day suggesting that everybody else
should get down to earth while they
are permitted to ride undisturbed
upon high horse"

to Kansas City with the same pleas

Says Cities Vote All Manner Taxes


The people of Linn county in which
Cedar Rapids is located voted a wear
or so ago to change the county seat
from Marion to the larger city. The
city vote did the business. The last
week in December the board of sun
ervisors submitted a proposition to
issue bonds for a half million dollars
Tor the purpose Of erecting a court
house on an island in the Cedar river
in the heart of Cedar Rapids. The
people of Marion and the farmers of
Linn county joined hands to defeat
the measure. The argument advanc
ed was that this is a poor time to
vote additional taxes and and un-
favorable time to build when prices
are so high, Those arguments not
only solidifed the country and town
vote but it also appealed to voters
enough in Cedar Rapids to defeat the
bond issue. The campaign left some
friction between city and country and
this prompted the farm bureau to
pass a resolution favoring the pas
sage of law making all cities with
a population of $4,000 or more to
constitute a county, the incorporate
limits to be the county line. Farmers
claim that in counties where large
cities are located they have. no vot-
ing power Cities vote all manner of
taxes for road construction and other
improvements in spite of the oppos-
ition of land owners.

MONDAY CLUB
TO PUT ON PLAY
"Springtime," Fantasy of Mirth
and Music to be Presented at
Grand in April
UNDER AUHPICES
OF MONDAY CLUB
DecOrah's Leading Musical and Dra-
matte Talent Will Appear in the
Various Roles

"Springtime," fantisy of mirth
and music, will be given under the
auspices of the Monday Club, about
April 10Th, at the Grand opera house.
The production, which will be staged
under the personal direction Jof a
professional producer, will be given
for the benefit of the Decorah Public
Library. The leading musical and
dramatic talent in Decorah is to ap-
pear in the various roles and-in the
dances and choruses.
"Springtime" is a musicalsproduct-
ion of merit. The Libretto, music,
costumes, scenic equipment, etc., are
the property of John B. Rogers Pro-
ducing Co., and the show will be pro-
duced by a representative of that
concern. The scenic equipment for
the production is far more elaborate
than that usually supplied for the
ordinary amateur affair and for
splendor closely approaches the
Metropolitan offerings.
Theecommittee is headed by Mrs.
H. ID. Paine, President of the Monday
Club.

"Roast Them to FRAGILE

So and so ought to be roasted to
a frazzle," said a very peaceful man
the other day. We asked him if he
would write the "roast" out to a
"frazzle" and sign his name to it.
Oh, no, of course not. That was not
his business, sroasting wasn't. And
yet why should any paper roast" q
fellow man even if he has done
something that some other so or so
thinks is all wrong Those who have
the power to "roast" are generally
the least inclined to use it, if they
have acquired any sense. To make a
bonfire of man may amuse the
crowd, but it may be tough on the
men on the spit and there are his
wife and children and sisters of all
the "in-laws," it may be. No news
paper man in health of body and
mind likes to do such things for he
is bound to ask himself how he would
like if someone 'did it to him. Some
times we think the oworld needs a
lot more charity-and then, again
we don't. But on the whole, we guess
it does.--Cedar Rapids Republican.

Hargreaves has filed for assessor

But for city park commissioner

ent one of the commissioners and is
up for reelection.
1t will not be so very easy for the
dopesters to figure out just how the
election is going this year, as the
women have the vote and they have
a big say in who is who and why.
And it is well to understand right
now that the women know how to
vote too, and the wool can't be pull
ed over their eyes very easy, and
they will be out in force. They de-
monstrated their voting ability at

went through with flying colors, and
showed mere man that they knew

AND UNEMPLOY-
MENT.
Idea With Some if They Keep Pro-
duction Up it Will Promote
Unemployment.

The idea is entertained by a good
many people, that if they keep pro-
duction up to good level, they will
promote unemployment. They argue
that there is only about so much
work in the world to be done. Hence,
they say, if we do all we can, there
won't be work enough to go around.
Better go slow, so the work will
hold out. Some trades insist on work.
ing only five days a week, so as to
n2ake the work go further.
any industry where the people
wo4 n that theory, labor costs
higher, consequently the prpucer
will charge higher price. This is
what has happened in the building
industry in many places, where 40
hour week and low production has
made houses cost so high that few
people will build them.
When prices are boosted on any
product, then the consumption falls
off. People buy such an article very
sparingly. So where previously there
was slight tendency to unemploy-
ment, this tendency is greatly in
creased, and more people are thrown
out of work. When people turn out
a low output, their products costs
more, the public is deferred from
buying it, and those employed in that
line are thrown out of work.
On the contrary where working
forces are efficient and turn out a.
good product, the labor cost is kept
at the minimum. That keeps the
price down as low as possible, and
the people to buy that
product in preference to others. That
keeps business good in that line.
The only way to get steady employ
ment is to work so efficiently that the
public can afford to buy the product.
A leading reason for the unem-
ployment that has prevailed recently
was the high cost production and
ow relative output of the years 1919
and 1920. This made goods so costly
hat the public could not buy. That
shut down many factories.

Life Long Devotion of Two Aged
Women.

Corning, Ia.--Two little girls, En-

swore never to marry, but to remain

No Adam entered their Eden.
Thirty-seven years later, Emma
Titus died at Mud Butte, S. d., re-
Gently, after she and her girl chum
had lived as one, sharing each others
joys and sorrows, all these years.
The two women left Corning in

county superintendent of schools.
They were about to depart for
Long Beach, Cal, for Miss Titus
health, when she died.
Their wills were made in each
others favor.

Election viii be Held on Monday,
March 2s. Hard to Get Candi-
dates to Enter Race
TWO IN THE FIELD
FOR MAYORS OFFICE
One Woman in the Field. Mrs.
Blanche Duncan, Who Has Filed
for City Park Commissioner

The coming city election for De-
corah win give the citizens little
food for thought and discussion be-
tween now and Marsh 2S, election
day. The time Ror filing for the var
ious offices closed last Saturday, and
we note there wasn't very big
scramble on the part of either the
men or women to get in the field
for the various Offices, especially for
positions on the council, as everyone
knows there is plenty of work, with
a heap more criticism and mighty
poor pay. Of course there are a great
many who ''know' just how the city
business should be conducted, but
they are not willing to sacrifice their
time and energy in the work, but re-
vert to criticism afterwards. The
candidates are now in the field and it
is up to the voters to study their
men or women and vote the way
they think best, and don't kick after
wards.
There are a number of the present
officials who will not be candidates
this year, among them Mayor Buck
nell, Alderman McAndrews of the
first ward and Alderman Symonds of
the fifth.
For the mayors Office there are
now two candidates in the field, DIR.
F. w. Conover's papers having been
filed last Thursday. Atty E. J. Hooks
papers were filed the week previous
and his candidacy was mentioned in
these columns last week. Mr.. Hook
~ Nfermefiy mayor of DEBORAH, hav-
lTfs been elected four years ago,
serving practically one full term, re-
signing in the latter days of his
term to go to Des Moines, having
been elected to the legislature.
DR.. Conover has been much before
the public here during the past two
or three years as public speaker in
war work, and there has been
popular demand for him for the of
flee of mayor, but he was reluctant
about letting his name go in, but the
pressure of friends brought him out,
and he consented to become a candi- !
date. The doetor is asbig broad mind
ed fellow, with no axes to grind, no
friends to reward and no foes to pun
ish, and goes before the people as a
candidate to conduct the affairs of
the city in the best possible manner
for the good of all.
For alderman at large there are
three candidates in the field, two of
the present aldermen, w. B. Reed
and II. Engbretson filing again, and
one new candidate M. A. Lange,
filing for the Office. Mr.. Lange lives
in Curtin's addition in the first ward,
and he is a man of excellent standing
and ability.

ward, but one of them Peter Losen,

other candidates are Z. w. Oxley,
who resides on East Water street
and Ed Istad, who resides in Curtin's
addition. Mr.. Istad was formerly in
the hardware business here, and Mr.
Oxley is manager of the shipping
association at the Rock Island yards.

In this ward three candidates are
aspiring for the office, Alderman
Nesheim having filed again, and the
other two candidates are re%Ereneat

The third ward has no contest on
this year and Alderman Frank Ber-

it looks as if he will be an easy
winner there.
Fourth Ward.
In the fourth ward two new men
are in the field, Atty. N. Willett and

ward in the city, and should give
these two candidates plenty of exer-
