THE BABY
By Ryley Ruck

Neighbors have a baby boy.
He's homeiy little mutt
Nothing like our baby giiD
Yet the way those parents strut
You would think he'd won frs;
prize
At world wide beauty show.
How do some folks get that way
Is what l should like to know.
Yet. when drop in to call.
Like the neighbors always DO.
l say. Cunning little thing.
Looks just like his mother, too
Other folks all DO the same
When they stop to see the boy;
Maybe that's the reason why
Parents are 50 full of joy.
Course some babies really are
Swee. and pretty and all that
There's our little baby girl
Has EN- 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 saw,
She's her mother out and out
When she looks at you that way.'
Then. somehow, l always feel
Sorry, and \ little more,
For the parents of \ kid
Like that homely one mex, door.

nothing gals them quicker than to
run across inattention. We don't
mean that they expect clerk or a
deputy or an official of any kind to
get down on his knees and scrape and
bow and toady to them. They would
be just as much disgusted with this.
But they do appreciate being waited
on by one of their public servants
Just as carefully and as quickly as
they would be waited on a by a clerk
in store.
There are officials, many of them,
who fail to realize that they are
drawing their salaries from the farm
ers who transact business at the court
house. and that they have no more
right to neglect the taxpayer than a
hired man of any kind would have a
right to talk back" to his employees.
We are glad to state that Sedgwick
county is pretty free of this sort, and
that is why it is pleasing to note that
when one of our farmers has occasion
to mention his treatment at the court
house it is usually to do so in an ap-
proving instead of criticising man
ner.

BE PLEASANT TO STRANGERS

Be pleasant to the stranger within
your gates. Lots of times that is one
of the best investments you ever
made.
Just think what a boom a town
would take if everybody in it made it
pleasant for every stranger who Wis
tied Julesburg.
The trouble is that so many folks
grow careless in this as in lots of 9th
er things that ought to be looked af-
ter.
This is mighty good time to start
new policy in the town-building
game by never saying anything about
your town unless it is something good.
This will work in neighborhoods as
we'll as in towns. and your neighbor
will return the compliment.
Besides that, you feel mean after
You have done a mean trick whether
il is saying mean things about some
body or otherwise. So why no, keep
pleasant and do good all the time when
it is so easy!
Try the Sunshine route awhile. The
tax is off now and there is plenty of
room aboard.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT

There have been numerous resolu-
tons for the new year. but one Of the
hest We have heard is the one resolv-
ing to take more pride in Julesourg
during the months to come. II all
citizens would resolve to do the same
thing Just think what we would have
to point to \ year from now. The
greatest trouble with smaller towns
and cities of America today is that
they contain too many citizens of the
''don't-care" type. That is, citizens
who are satisfied to let things take
their course. and openly make state
mcnts that they don't care much for
the town, and if there is anything to
be done in a movement pertaining to
the welfare and progress Of the town
and community. these citizens are re-
luetAnt to take an active part. Soon
er or later. when things do not so to
suit them. they develop into knockers.
And we all know how quickly = town
or community loses the respect of ev-
eryone once the knockers get to
swinging their hammers.
But in the town when men and wo-
men do care. where they take an in
terest in seeing that the streets and
walks and cutters are kept in repair;
that school buildings ana puotlc o0lid-
inEs and the churches are spiek and
span. inside and out-there the knock
er finds his seed Of discomfort being
sown on stony ground and he quickly
moves on to some other community. or
learns to keep his mouth shut,
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to take pride in your home town and
community. and to stop for few
minutes talk every day with your
neighbors about what more is needed
to make the town and community still
better. 1. doesn't cost anything to
boast Of Your towns advantages, 10 a
stranger. or when YOU are in smother
community.
All these little things coun, in the
the course Of year. and especially
when we are all doing it, Boosting
the home town gets 20 be contagious,
Pretty scon You'll find outsiders join
ing in and doing the same thing. The
returns are too great ~ be estimated,
So that's why We believe the resolu-
tion TO take more pride in luleshurg
and community this year than YOU
did las, year is the bes. one YOU could
make.
