THE NEW HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS.

With the magnificent vote for confidence that was given
the incoming members of the local highway commission at
the election Saturday, theirs is a grave responsibility.
With the money raised from bond issues, from the state
and from the government all invested in roads; with the
income of the district for the next four years only enough
to meet the interest and sinking charges on the bonds and
to keep up the roads already built, they will meet much
pressure to build other roads, the champions of new con
struction will offer much argument to show that their
roads are fully as important as those roads already built,
and it will take strong moral fibre to withstand these APP
peals. We believe that the men elected will meet these re-
quirements; they are experienced business men and have
the interests of the community at heart; they will I'M
doubleday try to live up to the expectations of their
friends who gave them the most magnificent endorsement
that candidates have ever received in Mountain Home.

The tolling hammer of the school

In case of fire anyone can give the
alarm, by giving the bell quick con-
tinuous taps until the alarm is gen
orally known Anyone turning in a
false alarm will be severely dealt
with If found out.

CHRISTMAS REMEMBRANCEs.

Make it a jolly Christmas and don't worry over the
bills. They won't come due until next year. That sounds
a long way off, whether it is or not.
Browse around town and look into the stores. You
may be surprised at some of the things you find. We've
seen a lot of 'em, and we know.
We suspect our local merchants are attempting to make
London and Paris Jealous-orp perhaps they know the dis
cr1mlnatlng taste OF our people and are simply trying to
meet expectations.
At any rate, the berries are there, in the stores, wait
ing to be picked.
And believe us, they are worth picking.
Make the most of Christmas. We won't have another
one this year.

FILcHING THE PEOPLES MONEY.

ments during the war came from the pockets of the people
in the form Of taxes. It was the peoples money.
Now the same old insidious lobby is at work again in
Washington in an effort to educate the people up to
the idea Of canceling those ten or eleven billions of dollars
in debts the allied governments owe to us.
1t is time for the press of the country to serve plain and
unmistakable notice on the government and congress that
the people of this country will not stand for a wholesale
6lching of their hard earned funds.
III the president and congress are sincere in their pro-
fessed desire to serve the people they will take no such ac-
ton without first submitting the question to referendum
vote of all of the people. It is safe to predict what the re-
suit of such a vote would be.
We don't like to weary our readers with too frequent
references to this question, but some one is trying to get
his hand into the public pocket-and this paper objects.
We have no use for a thief or a man who won't pay his
debts.

TO CURE THAT THIRST.

Are you, by chance, worrying over that ''terrible
thlrst!" Drink a glass OF water. In fifteen minutes drink
another. Keep on drinking until you have consumed at
least two quarts in the run of the day.
1t won't harm you, and it will do you a lot Of good.
AS you become accustomed to large quantities Of water
you Will gradually lose that thirst for something stronger.
In time you may even be able to grin at the other fellow
with that longing and furtive look on his countenance.
Then, too, the more you drink the less medicine you will
need 1t is the greatest of all aids to Indigestion or con-
stipation.

the only thing I wasn't troubled with.
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
my attention, and I began using

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
MRS, p. w. ADDY

Sleep on dear grandmother,
And take thy rest;
God called thee home
He thought it best.
You have gone from us forever,
Longer here you could not stay;
You have reached fairer region
Far away, far away.
A loved cne from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our homes
Which never can be filled.
We miss her gentle footsteps,
Miss each kind and gentle word;
M more in the lonely household,
Will her tender voice be heard.
The Golden Gate opened wide,
gentle voice said "come;"
And angels from the other side,
Welcomed dear grandmother home.
Heaven now retains our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps:
The sunbeams love to linger,
Where our loved one sleeps.
