The principal events in mans or
woman's life are but three in
some cases only two. The first IS
birth, the second is marriage and the
third is death. These are the great
adventures of life.
These events are all chronicled in
the home town paper-in the birth
notices, the marriage notices and the
de ath notices.
In between these notices, are the
thousand little items of everyday life
of the people you know-your own
people and friends.

called famous, but our own people,

Why NOT,
ANYWAY!

Have you noticed that singers are
generally a healthy set of people ?
They are Their lungs, through con-
slant singing, are brought about as
near to perfection as it is possible to
get Them
Hence thought--and a suggestion.
Everybody likes good singing and
will take an evening off most any
time to hear it.
There are many good vecalists in
this town, and others in the making,
but they are not properly organized.
Now why can't we utilize the vote
es and form a monster chorus in this
town, and do-more singing, both for
the sake of our health and for recrea-
ton and enjoyment
If you were told that a chorus of
fifty or one hundred voices would be
at one of the. churches tonight, or at
some other public place, wouldn' t
you feel just like hearing that music !?
Wouldn't you feel like putting the
musical harness on, yourself?
Without desiring to criticise, we
suggest that there is too much of a
tendency to live unto ourselves. There
is hardly the freedom and the inter
change of ideas that should exist in
a community of this size.
A great community chorus would
bring US together, pull us out of our
separate ruts, and put more of the
joy of living into our hearts.
1t would be worth much to us, and
yet it would cost nothing but little
pleasurable effort.
Who is for community chorus-a
big one, and in time, magnificent
one?
Sing out and be heard

We have been fortunate. We have !

We have been fortunate. We have
suffered less than any other people
in the great community of nations.
We have wealth and We have food.
where millions of others have nothing
but hunger. We have hope, while they
face the barrenness of despair.
True, we have our unemployed, but
we have our national and state gov
ernments and civic agencies that are
even now devising ways and means
of providing work for them. 1t will
be done.
Our great armies and navies have
been demobilized and officers and men
have returned to the marts of trade
and commerce. In other countries
they are still staggering under the
burdens of militarism
These are only few of the many
blessings we enjoy even in our rays
of business depression. An unbiased
contemplation of the facts should
convince US that we as a people are
favored of the gods and have no rea-
son to complain.

early ratification of the treaty, upon
the ground that they wanted time TO
study it, although not one of them
but had had ample time and oppor-
tunity to study it during the month
which had INTERVIEWED since its pub
lication They insisted they wanted
opportunity to discuss it. Senator
Lodge, chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations committee, in charge of the
treaty before the Senate, IN order to
expedite action and yet permit the
Democratic time to discuss it, decided
to hold night sessions. They not only
refused to avail themselves of this
opportunity but announced they were
against holding night sessions to dis
cuss the treaty, and if that plan were
not abandoned they would institute q
filibuster and attempt to defeat rat
ification.
In all of this is seen the influence
of former President Wilson. Accord
ing to leading Democrats and Demo
cratic newspapers, Mr.. Wilson has
been summoning Democratic senat-
ors to his residence and urging them
to prevent, if possible, the ratifica-
ton of the treaty. In this, he is mere
ly consistent with his policy, while
President, of keeping the nation out
of peace, unless and until it submit
ted to his dictation and adopted his
un-American, pro-Europe League OF
Nations, which would plunge the u
nited States into the hatreds and the
quarrels of Europe and pledge the re-
sources of this nation Ito be raised

foot the bills of European national
spendthrifts, bankrupts, swashbuckl-
ers and cripples for generations to
come.

.DECENCY
TO THE FORE

The womanhood of California has
revolted. 1t is even possible that the
won,anhood of America may fall in
line.
Twenty thousand California
women have protested against the
showing of films in which Fatty Ar
buckle appears, or any of the others
who were involved in the Arbuckle-
Rape escapade.
The womanhood of America has
suffered much through the vulgar de-
bauches of these men of sudden
wealth and fame 1t is not only the
degrading influence they have upon
the women with whom they come in
contact, but the generation in it's
teens is besmirched by having them
and their escapades paraded before
their juvenile eyes.
True, twenty-five thousand is only
a small percentage of the women of
California, or of any other state. But
it is beginning, and if it continues
to grow it will have great and puri-
flying ending. They are to be COM
mended. Their cause is righteous and
should prevail.
If the owners Of picture shows de-
sire to protect the morals of young
boys and girls who attend their per-
formances they can easily do so by
putting the ban on any picture in
which man or woman of known
questionable repute appears.
The house that declines to conform
to the laws of decency should be
closed through lack of patronage.
Public welfare demands it.

OF
OBSTRUCTION

The Democratic party is living up
to Its reputation and character as the
party of obstruction. It's latest pro-
gram is to delay as long as possible

THE DOGS
WON'T GET Us

Don't listen to the pessimist. The
long period Of business depression
gives him an opportunity to croak,
and he can't resist
He thinks the country is going
straight to the dogs, and is doing his
best to help it along.
But the pessimist did not make this
country, and neither will he destroy
it.
People who consider both sides of
a question, or dig under the surface
to find the reasons for undesirable
conditions, are not alarmed.
They realize that we are simply
paying our portion of the penalty of
every great war, and that when the
debt is paid we will return to activ-
ity and prosperity.

body of astronomers will use an alb

the purpose of constructing a power
telescope 1900 feet in length. This
telescope will reach from the bottom
OF the shaft to the surface of the
ground and its magnifying power is
expected to be sufficient to bring the
planet within a mile and a half of

THE: BABY

Neighbors have a baby boy
He's homely little mutt
Nothing like our baby girD
Yet the way those parents strut
You would think he'd won first prize
At world wide beauty show
How do some folks get that way
Is what | should like to know.
Yet when l drop in to call,
Like the neighbors always do
| say: Cunning little thing,
Looks just like his mother, tool"
Other folks all do the same
When they stop to see the boy;
Maybe that's the reason why
Parents are so full of joy.
Course some babies really are
Sweet and pretty and all that
There's our little baby girl
Has 'em all pushed off the mat;
And when folks come in and say,
Little darling, looks so wise,
Just too sweet for anything
Got her daddy's mouth and eyes"
Anyone can see it's true
But l simply smile and say,
She's her mother out and out
When she looks at you that way"
Then, somehow, always feel
Sorry-and little more,
For the parents of a kid
Like that homely one next door!
