Reinn True to Ones Self.

Following is from "The Simple
Truth" by Ernest -. Wilson:
at Is sometimes taught that life is
not for happiness. 'but for experience.
and that he who aspires to happiness
seeks in vain. Sometimes. too, Just
the reverse of this ACCOMPLISHMENT Is
impressed upon the students mind :;
that happiness is the true goal Of life.
and thar iubilance is the first duty Of
the aspiring soul. If we conceive ex-
perience AS "a means Of self-unfold-
ment, and happiness TO mean, not
abandonment, but allegiance to that
which is best i'm us. the two state
ments are reconciled and express n
truth. The souls highest duty and
greatest pleasure are one. and both
are fulfilled when man is true to him.

SAYS WORD is MISPLACED
Employment OF Phrase, 1.-THE
Psychological Moment"

A correspondent OF the London
Times sternly scolds all who are so
slipshod I'm their speech las TO employ
that most usefu! of phrases, 'the psy-
Geological moment says the Living
Age. Asserting that by no possible
distortion of the English language can
il legitmately be forced into it's cur
rent meaning of "the proper, III nit
ting. moment" he proceeds To give
history OF the phrase which is vast
ly more interesting than his diatrlbe
against It's users.
THE psychological moment Is an
English translation Of the French lie
moment pSychologique. which Is. in
It's turn. a mistranslation Of the Ger
man das psychologische moment,
which was used in the Neue PreuSs-
ISSche Zeitung in December. $50,
when the bombardment of Paris Was
about To begin. The German writer
said: The psychological momentum
(das psychologische momenD must be
allowed 10 play prominent part
for without its cooperation there Is
little 10 be hoped from the work vi
the artillery" Confusing the neuter
German word daS moment (Which
means momentum" and, rs here used
dynamic, part of the human mind
urging il 10 action). with the mascu-
line der moment (Which means mo-
ment in its ordinary English sense)
the French translated it le moment
pSychologlque. and with derisive gay
ETY. incorporated il into the slang of
the hour.
The French writer Francisque Sar-
cey. IN his "Diary of the Siege ot
Paris tells how the beleaguered Pa
rislans pluckily made game of their
enemy's phrase:
"You know how we laugh over that
psychological moment The word
has become all the rage. Ev-
erybody says, I'm hungry. The psy-
Geological moment for sitting down
To dinner has arrived When
the first ball fell in the streets of
Paris, everybody cried lauglIingly
ITEMS, They must think the psyche
logical moment has arrived ="
The facts are youched for by the
new English dictionary, but for all the
photographers may say, THE psy-
Geological moment" is too firmly fixed
in the usage TO be withdrawn readily

SPLIT ON CHURCH DOCTRINE
Purtans First Came Into Being as So
ceders From the National Church
Of England.

The Puritans were a party which.
though nominally taking its rise at the
time when Archbishop Parker, at the
request Of Queen Elizabeth, formulat-
ed the constitution, articles and the
ritual of the national Church of Eng
land, really owes its origin TO the in
fluence of Wycliffe and the Lollards.
In consequence OF Parker's scheme OF
church purity. serious differences
manifested themselves among the
clergy those who demanded greater
strictnesS OF life and doctrine being
called in derision Puritan. or in
Burns phrase "the unco guild" The
party became split up into an eX-
IRENE section that preferred the Pres
byterian system to the Episcopal sys-
tenn, and moderate section whose de-
sire was simply To draw a strongly
marked line of doctrinal demarcatiOn
between the two standards Of the two
churches. Later on (15SO), there was
third party, which eventually became
the most powerful of all. viz: the
SenaratistS or Independents. who adj
vocated the congregational system,
whereby each charge would be re-
sponSible 10 itself alone. I'm the reign
OF James l (i62O), the Pilgrim Ia
theirs sailed from Defthaven lin the
Netherlands). touching at Southamp-
ton, England, and founded the colony
of Plymouth, Mass, at the end of that
year A few years later in the reign
of Charles /. a great wave of Puritan
migration built up the colony of Mas
sachusetts bay. an offshoot of which
was the colony of Connecticut.

Austrian Confusion.

One os the stories told to illustrate
the confused diplomatic situation in
central Europe is attributed to Prince
Furstenburg. He was appointed as a
diplomatic representative of the old
Austrian government TO the Ukraine,
which then was ruled by Hetman
Skorpadsky. Describing his diplo-
matte status to friends in Kiev, the
prince said: 81 am the representa-
tive of a government that has ceased
to exist and accredited to one that
never existed. The most extraord!.
nary part of 1t is that am paid for
performing the duties of this position

Robin Uses Lace Nest.

When our women folks went TO
take in the wash they We're surprised
to find that some choice lace that had
been placed on the line was missing.
Later they observed a robin sitting on
the line with his gaze directed 10 a
garment to which he soon flew and
began to pull at a part of 1t. Know
Ing that pair Of robins had built a
nest In the tree nearby, the folks
thought that perhaps the birds had
taken the lace into their nest. Inves-
tigation proved this To be correct. as
the lace formed part of the nest
walls. After the robins were done
with the nest the lace was recovered.

Failure of Price Control.

The failure of government control
and price-fixing for any great nation
al industry was never so completely
demonstrated as in the case of sugar
control.
This industry was under some form
of artificial governmental control from
August, 1917, to the end of December,
1921, and was shifted from one de-
partment to another.
Consumers were called upon to pay
hundreds of millions of dollars un-
necessarily and financial wreckage
overlook all branches of the industry
in all sugar-producing sections.
The Royal Commission on Sugar
Supply in Great Gritain closed its op-
erations with losses of 100000, 900
annually, and the same was true of
government control in other countries.
The efforts of the government at de-
control were as disasterous as the at
tempt to control prices, and in Cuba
swept into ruin most of the banks of
that country while stimulating produc-
| ton.
The sugar industry of the United
States, both producers and refiners,
has paid the price of government con-
troll almost with its life, and proyen
again the futility of setting aside the
effect of economic law.

Fight for Lower Taxation.

In all western states the people are
fighting to cut down their heavy
loads of direct and indirect taxation.
In Washington the fight is led by
Governor Hart who has installed a
ten-department system instead of 72
boards and commissions.
That state has wiped out a deficit
of $2,600,0OO, left as hangover from
1921 and reduced total levies $4,459,-
O1O.13.
In Idaho the battle for tax reduc-
ton has been led by Governor Davis
and Utah is alive with suggestions for
reductions.
1t is the vital issue in the states of
Colorado and Oregon, where a direct
fight is being waged for a cut of 25
per cent.
The numbering industry has suffered
from over-taxation of sawmills and
timber lands, and many such proper
ties are on the delinquent rolls and
many operated three or four months
to pay taxes.
High federal and state taxes are
driving industries to the wall, increas-
ing unemployment and preventing new
development taking place.

Present Flag to Library.

Fort William Bent Chapter, ID. A.
R., out of the proceeds of the recent
colonial tea given at the library on
Washington's birthday, have present
ed the library with beautiful Ameri-
can flag and balance of $3.50 for
the benefit of the book fund. The
work of the ladies is much appreciat-
ed by the board as flag was GER
tainly much needed and the book fund
must depend upon these donations for
the larger part of the money that goes
to the purchase of books. The work
of the various women's organizations
of the city in the past ten years have
been responsible for rs per cent of the
books purchased during that period,
and they have raised all the money
that has been used in binding the mag
azines. The latter is a work that
would be Of great value to the future
generation if it could be garfield out
in a more complete manner than has
been done heretofore.

Holly RejOices.

There was great rejoicing in Holly
when, following the long water famine,
the plant repairs came, were installed
and water was turned on again last
Tuesday evening. Many families are
reported to have formed lines to the
bath room after flipping a penny for
preferred position and there was one
general orgy of bathing for the great
unwashed. After drinking out of wash
tubs and boilers it seems quite aristo-
cratic to turn the faucet and get your
Adams ale direct. Nothing could give
better appreciation of our great pub
lie utility. There should be haste to
install second unit that we may avoid
another like famine. "What did peo-
pie do in the olden days when there

service ?" we often think. With the
coming of new unknown inventions
our grand children may pity us of this

Notice to Taxpayers

In an effort to cut down expenses,
it has been decided to try out in this
county the plan adopted by other
counties in the State for assessment
work this spring; viz, the assessor
will appoint day on which he or his
deputy will meet the taxpayers at the
various school houses throughout the
county, where they can list their prop
erty with him, or send in their list
by neighbor if It is not possible for
him to be there in pedson. We arc
trying out this method on all terri
tory South of tho river, for, if the
plan works out successfully and the
assessment work can be handled in this
way, it will mean big saving yearly
of the taxpayers money. l believe,
too, this method will give a more uni
form assessment, and, with he coop
Grafton of the taxpayers should work
out very satisfactorily.

Former Lamar Boy Killed.

Word was conveyed in dispatches
of lightning at Craig, Colorado, of
Paul Lamb, who was born in Lamar
nearly twenty-six years ago and lived
here with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mike Lamb for number of years.
His father was prominent contractor
here for years in the early history of
the town. The following from the
Craig Empire gives the details:
paul Lamb, World War hero and
one of Moffat county's most popular
young men, was killed by lightning
Friday evening. One of two lightn-
ing flashes, most unusual phenomena
for Moffat county this early in the
season, struck him and the horse he
was riding. His body, which lay out
during Friday nights rainstorm was
not found until Saturday morning.
young Lamb was carrying the mail
from Lay to Juniper Springs and re-
turn for his uncle, Charles Webb. He
was approaching Lay when the rain
storm overlook him. Charles Webb
cav the young man riding toward the
Lay Creek bridge on the Victory high
way and expressed the hope to COM
panion that he would reach shelter.
"When young Lamb did not appear
at the Lay postoffice at his usual time.
Mr. Webb thought he had taken shelf
er temporarily at the Allison Weaver
home. Later, Mr.. Webb went in
search of his nephew. In the dark
he approached within few yards of
the body but did not see it.
Saturday morning a searching
party of neighbors followed young
Lambs trail to the place where death
overlook him. The lightning bolt
struck him in the back of the neck
and then passed through his horses
body. Both the man and the animal
died instantly.
"The horses name and some of its
flesh were burned and charred, but
young Lambs body was not burned in
the least. The body was carried by
friends to the Meininger hotel at Lay
and afterwards brought to Craig.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon at the Gem theatre,
which was filled with friends of the
young man. Father Michael O'Bierne
conducted Catholic services and pail
bearers and a uniformed guard of
honor were furnished by the American
Legion.
"The body was taken to Lambs
former home in Canon City and will
be buried with military honors from
the Catholic cathedral today"
