pressed by speakers yesterday af-

Assembly of a committee of one

Laws Must Be Enforced.
The sense of the meeting, the at

council chamber, was that law must
be neforced and that recent disorders
dynamite outrages, must
be stopped. That the checking Of
this class of lawlessness depends upon
the curbing of the bootleg liquor traf-

perhaps unconsciously. but none
the less certainly. Broad vision
ed men have come to see that
the operations of the farm bloc
in Washington have had much to
do with the rising tide Of return
ing prosperity. and so they see
the possibility of beneficial eff
feet if the states come to follow
the national example. There is
a distinct trend toward the farm
bloc idea in the state of New
York where it is thought such a
move might have the effect Of
offsetting the line of cleavage
between the country districts
and the great metropolis. New
York City for years has contend
ed it has been ruled from Alba
ny by country legislators who
know nothing of the require.
ments of city life. The friction
has been 50 intense that there
have sprung up movements even
looking to the forming Of the
separate State of Manhattan.
The New Yorker pays the major
proportion Of the taxes Of the
state and yet he feels he has
little, il any voice. in legislation
even considering the broad city
charter granted by the state.
The city man. however. is not
blind to the needs Of agriculture
and stands ready to further the
welfare Of the farmer. The farm
bloc idea in the Empire State is
likely to bring about mutually
beneficial compromise. When all
is said and done. the spirit Of
tolerance invariably operates for
the benefit of the people.

Residents Of the country towns
will learn with interest that the
fire loss of the United States for
the year 1921 exceeded that of
any previous year in the history
of the country. totalling more
than a half billion dollars. The
National Fire Protection Associ-
alton calls attention to the fact
that of the CONGREGATIONS re-
sponsible for this disastrous con-
dition fully seventy-fve per cent
were preventable. 1t is interest
ing, too, to know that the
country which must depend on
the services Of volunteer firemen
has a smaller fire loss than cities
with their highly paid and well
skilled fire fighters.
There is no local activity
deserving of greater encourage
ment than the activity Of the
local fire department. 1t is
amazing to find throughout the
country s. many men. without
thought Of fee or reward. ready
to endanger their health and
their lives at the call Of their
neighbors. Surely there is no
nobler. no more unselfish service,
The men gain no reward save
perhaps the thrill that comes to
every red-blooded man when he
answers an alarm. Yet We find
the volunteer firemen always on
the job.
There is. however. room fol

these lads attack their task Of
fire extinguishing. but in the

USE WORDS OF SHAKESPEARE
Americans Employ idioms Of Great
Poet Really More Faithfully
Than Do Enolishmen.

An English paper expresses the hope
that the Americans will not yield to
the temptation to develop new lam
guage. but will "cling to the speech Of
Shakespeare" II may be remarked
that Americans. and particularly
Americans Of the country districts.
are clinging to the speech Of Shake
speare rather more tenaciousiy than
Englishmen are. In many respects
wherein the speech Of England has de-
parted from the Shakespearean the
everyday language Of America has adj
hered to II.
In all Shakespeare It would be i'm
possible to find the use OF the word
stop" for stay" u the sense In
which II IL employed today In Eng
land. An Englishman "stops In bed"
Shakespeare, like the Yankee. uses
stop only In the sense Of the cessa-
ton OF motion; where we use stay"
Shakespeare employs II. Shakespeare
also ''guesses" very much as We do.
Even our rustic localisms. such as the
fills" Of q wagon, which you will find
In sTroilus and Cressitla put
you L the fills"-are found In Shake
speare. Our American "cake Is
dough-" II things have gone amiss.
just as we find the expression In
Tanning of the Shrew." Some Eng
fish editors have been unable 10 make
out the meaning Of that phrase.
Shakespeare, with US, has "slivers"
for spl:nters or throns. He also has
'base tykes"; he has q "muss" for q
fight. "decks" Of cards. and flap
jacks; Englishmen have to be told
what Shakespeare means when he
talks Of ''orts," bat no American
farmer would. The pages Of Shake
speare. indeed. are simply sprinkled
with AmericanismS
One thing that differentiates our
speech from that Of England Is Its re-
tention Of English archaism. We have
indeed adopted new words for new
things. and In doing 50, a. IN the tech
uical terms Of the railroads. have d.
verged from British usage. But In
most lingual respects we are great
elingers.-Bcston Transcript.

Interested in the article in last
weeks American on: How do
Teachers Spend Their Salar,es?'
According to said article it is
impossible for the average teach
err to save more than $50 a year.
To prove this we are shown what
is supposed to be the necessary
expenses a teacher has every
year and we are tod to compare
those expenditures with our
own.
There are different kinds Of
taxpayers. but the biggest ma
jority in this community are
farmers. SO let us try a compar-
ison with just couple items.

$246." A big sum it is neces-
sary for a teacher to pay out for
clothes each year. ESPECIALLY
when we think of the quantity.
1t would take all the potato
money" for good many a farmer
if it was necessary to clothe his
family at this rate. You may
say that it is not necessary for
farmers (ladies included) to
dress like teachers. | don't know
if it is or not. but it is a fact
that they don't do it and cannot
do it. The old dress or suit is
used until there is money enough
to buy new one. The money
it is necessary" for a teacher to
spend on her clothes for one
year would clothe a farmers
family of four for two years and
still there would be some money
left for the third.
Average paid for travel. 1914.
Is it necessary for a teacher to
travel about 5000 miles each
year? Some travel is necessa-
ry Of course, but this is quite
distance.
What is the matter with the
boys. can't they pay dance
ticket or the admission to a
movie any more so it would not
be necessary" for a teacher to
spend an average Of $50 on
amusements every year! Very
few farmers can afford to do it.
"A reduction will mean that
she must economize still more
and have no savings at all at the
years end" Please show me
where the teacher is economic
ing. 1t is mighty hard for a
"hayseed" like me to see it.

Censures Voters.

In commenting last week on
the overwhelming turn down Of
the county nurse proposition by
Pine county voters at the recent
election Editor Colby Of Sand
stone, writes in part as follows:
III the vote had been on the
proposition Of having an expert
60 around and examine the far
mers' cattle. the vote might
have been different"
We see no use of condemning
Pine county voters in that man.
ner. Such statements have been
made and published other places
too and they are true in isolated
cases but If person should sift
it down it would be found that
such cases are rare. 1t is easy
enough to write and make such
accusations but much more diff
ficult to prove and in the great
majority Of cases not true. True.
big sums of money are spent on
developing live stock and keep
ing them free from disease but
is II not also necessary? Chill
dren - well as adults must
have pure milk and meat. And
on large farms where there are
big dairy herds and other live
stock and considerable money is
spent on same, are the children
there not also provided for and
do they not stand a. No. 1? Very.
very rare cases where children
are secondary.
As before stated in these col
umns we believe the county
nurse did much good during the
two years she served in Pine
county and know personally Of
several cases where she was very
helpful. but to try to bring out
as Editor Colby does that the
vote on this proposition shows
a lack Of interest in the welfare
and development Of the child is
distasteful and far from being
true. The nurse acted mostly in
an advisory capacity land this
was helpful) but if the child
needed medical attention then
there were the physicians in sew
eral villages of the county who
have been here for years. Pre-
vious to 1920 Pine county never
had a county nurse and in these
times the taxpayers evidently
inquired that Such could be dis
pensed with for at least a while.
There are many taxpayers here
to whom every dollar. yes every
penny. counts and this we pre-
sumo. was the principal reason
why the proposition was voted
down. And Pine county mothers
will continue to take care OF
their children.
BY the way the proposition Of
the county agent who has to do
with live stock was voted down
at the same election with about
the same majority - the nurse
proposition.
