FRONTIER DAYS AT NORTON,
KANSAS

The Tri-State Frontier Roundup
and Pre-Harvest Festival to be pro-
duced here on June 21-22-23 promises
to be the big noise for the next few
weeks, in fact, until after this spec
tacular athletic meet for cowboys and
cowgirls is over, little else will be
heard on the streets and in the bust
ness houses. The entries for broncho
riding, bull logging, roping and other
events are arriving daily and it is eX-
pected by those in close touch with
American Sport pages that nearly as
many western ranches will be repre-
scented here as are usually represent
ed at Pendleton or Cheyenne. This
gigantic Frontier Celebration, in
volving the expenditure of thousands
of dollars for pursess wild horses and
long horned steers, is widely adyer-
tised in siXty-fvc newspapers in as
many counties in three states.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON

The class Of 1921 began their series
Of programs for commencement week
with the preaching Of the Baccalau-
reatc sermon at the NJ. T.. church
Sunday evening, by Rev. /. w. Edison.
This honor was given him as he has
a son, Lorimcr' Edison, in this years
class.
1t was rather o solemn occasion, as
this large class Of thirty four filed in
to the church to the strains of music
furnished by Mrs. n. Il. Bush at the
piano. They occupied nearly the
whole center section and appeared
splendid in their black caps and
gowns. Their motto: "With the rope
of the past, we'll ring the bells of the
future" was featured in their class
%colors, blue and gold, across the front
Of the pulpit,
After the song by the chorus led
by n. B. Bush, Rev. Haddock of the
Baptist church, offered the invoca-
ton; Mrs. b. N. Eshelman sang a
beautiful solo and Rev. Bruch Eshel-
man read the scripture lesson.
Rev. Edison delivered a powerful
sermon and its fine points were
quickly discerned by all present. His
text was taken from part of the 18th
verse of the third chapter of Philip
riars: "Reaching Forth Unto Those
Things Which Are Before" Urging
.hcm to aspire to reach the distant
goal and "press onward toward the
mark for the prize of the high cali
ING of God in Christ Jesus"
He defined life as a prolonged com-
pctitive course, and with a high
school education, they were lust at
tic beginning. ale profits most who
serves best" America today is great
because Of the service she rendered
the world, and all this achievement
can be traced back to ono source
education.
"Of all the mon We meet with, nine
parts Of ten are what they are, good
or evil, uesful or not, by their cduca-
ton. IT'S that which makes the great
difference ia mankind
Thcrc are two phase OF our cduca-

Young Americans have gone out
where the foot of man never trods,
made roads and mines and homes and

crude, at times, lawlcss, but bac.; Of
it was the motive Of carrying on,
Of going farther, Of progressing.
They were not looking for soft snaps,
for they demorali2c, sap ingenuity,
intuition, the will to work and grease
the ways to failure and misery later
in life. Any one can devise the SIM
pie formula as: hard work plus po-
likeness plus interest in and careful
study of your job, equals success.
"A mans true wealth is the good
he does in this world. When he dies,
mortals will ask what property he
left behind him, but the angels will
ask, "What good deeds hast thou
sent before thce?" Tho n master
motive in every life should bo-re-
ligion.
The audience stood while the class
marched out, feeling that they would
not soon forget such a splendid, in
structive and inspiring talk as this
one.

Psychic Too Much for Her.

II do wish this psychic, or what
ever-you-call-it fad was over" said a
reader. She put down popular pub
LEGATION.
"Why, when the dog used to snore
under the couch, or some naughty boy
played tick-tack on the windows, or
the potatoes took little slide down In
their bin in the cellar, the entire fam
lily knew at once what the noise was
and calmly went about their business.
Now they say mysteriously, 'Hark,
what's that? and we all go to listen
ing as If we expected to see an appa-
rition. Call it your 'subconscious self
or a ghost that makes every slight
disturbance In the house and you're
sure to be jumpy, and I for one will
be glad when the psychic business is
passed and we ascribe ordinary rea-
sons to ordinary noises once MORE"

INTELLIGENT Geese.

Many are the cases on record of
geese whose masters or mistresses en-.
deared themselves to them and as a
result were followed about everywhere
by the geese just as they might have
been by dogs, and dogs are supposed
to be the most intelligent of animals.
There is the historical case of the
aged blind woman who was piloted to
church on Sundays by her goose. The
little old lady would totter along, and
when she would be on the point Of
taking misstep the silly goose would
pluck her by the skirt and guide her
in the right direction. In the steps
of the church the old woman would
be guided to her pew by her neigh
bors, while the goose retired to the
nearby cemetery to nip grass. When
service was over the goose would be
beside the church steps waiting to
guide its mistress home again.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

The far-reaching value of good
roads which save farmers and 9th
ers millions of money cannot be over
estimated.
The immense economic value of i'm
proved highways was set forth re-
Gently by comparative figures issued
by the Canadian government. The
estimates We're based on investiga-
lions by crop correspondents of the
bureau of statistics in all parts OF
Canada.
Canadian roads are of four kinds :
Dirt roads, dirt roads improved by the
addition of sand and clay, gravel roads
and macadam roads. The average
cost of hauling per ton mile was
found to be: Dirt roads, A cents i'm
proved dirt roads, 40 cents; gravel
roads, 81 cents; macadam roads, %
cents.
Canada's wheat crop last year re-
duced to terms of avoirdupOis to-
tailed 5,79S,000 tons. Figuring 7.6
miles as the average distance the
grain had to be hauled on country
roads, the total ton mileage was A,
065,000. Saving effected by improved
roads ranges from to 10 cents per
ton mile and amounts to S1,762 800 as
between dirt roads and improved dirt
roads; $4,406,500 as between dirt
roads and gravel roads and $S,372,350
as between dirt roads and macadam
roads.
This calculation is for the wheat
crop alone. If applied to all crops
and products moved over roads, the
annual savings would reach tremen-
dous figures.
The government of Canada is COM
mitted to a comprehensive good roads
program. Parliament in 1919 apprO-
priated $2000O,000 for building and
improving highways in the next five
years. The sum of $4,000 is. payable
every year to each province and the
remainder of the fund is allotted to
the provinces according to population.

THE SARMAMENT CONFERENCE

President Harding's call for con-
ference on disarmament has struck a
snag. All European nations asked
have accepted. Japan accepts with
the big IF. Talk disarmament, she
says, and we shall come in. The
Eastern questions are too broad and
complex to mix in with other things.
Besides, when Lloyd George accepted
the Harding invitation, who knows but
that he could have coached Japan to
take the stand she did? England and
Japan are tied by treaties. They are
very close.
1t would seem, therefore, that bring
ing in other issues at a disarmament
conference was a bad break and I'M
necessary. Dangerously broad, or
whatever it may be, the conference
invitation ON disarmament may do
more harm than good if it becomes en-
tangled and beclouded with any other
negotiations but the capital one of dis
armament. 1t looks like trying to
carry too many eggs in one basket, or
water on both shoulders. Both are
dangerous.

FREE HOME TAX

Just what caused the state of New
Jersey to make law freeing all new
homes from taxes for five years is one
of the mysteries of present day poll
tics. The Palisadian has been asked
many times to explain it. 1t is diff
cult to define as a measure. 1t was
enacted at time when material was
high and homes scarce. That was the
excuse, if it were not a reason. AT
any rate, take a concrete example of
the workings of this hOme-building
law: If there are 1000 homes built
in a single borough or municipality,
that may mean an added number of
school children to be provided for,
with no income for five years from the
1000 homes. Somebody will have to
nav for their education and the in
creased cost of new school facilities
to take care of them. 1t all falls on
the present taxpayers, which makes
the burden all the harder to bear in
the face of increased taxes that are
already overwhelmingly high, includ-
ing the federal tax. No, we cannot
give an adequate answer to any query
on the free home tax question.

LOCAL PRIDE

Local pride as community asset is
a thing of great value. When there is
lack of pride there is generally little
faith. People who do not think well of
themselves-nOt to the extent of van
ity-generally do not find others think
ing much of them. When a community
is Indifferent to local spirit it is lack
ing in strength. Pride is always a
stimulus to action and an accessory to
ambition. Pride and ambition are
handmaidens. The one supports the
other. The spirit of a man is really
his soul-his higher being. The COM
munity is but the reflex of the people
in it. If they are cold and calculating,
if they are not enterpriSing, if they do
not show feeling for their municipality,
they lack the essentials of success and
are without the means of progress.
They stand still or go backwards.
Pride makes man brush his boots
and clean his town. 1t makes him neat
with his person and induces the same
thought for his home place. These
things are unacceptable. They cannot
be lodged They are elemental things
that make us find ourselves. God pity
the man without pride enough to keep
himself tidy, and heaven help the local
ity that cannot muster up the courage
to keep its face washed Pride is mans
master companion. 1t presupposes the
mental attitude of reliance. Make up
your mind then that the community
that is Indifferent to it's personal side
is careless of its spiritual well being.
Where that exists is apathy, and apa-
thy is first cousin to Indifference, and
indifference is both stupid and inexcus-
able.
A thought worth while for Palisade
and GrantwoOd.
