Egotism is sometimes mistaken for ambition by persons who
have made noted success in some particular line of endeavor
especially in cases where great wealth was accumulated at the
have caused history to be made. Very few have been able to
ride the high wave of ego for any great length of time. A good
ducking always results but does not always cure. Recently the
country has had a surfeit of Henry Ford Ego. 1t was not long
since that Ford Ego sailed in the good ship Oscar ii or some
other Irish ship to put a quietis on the world war. Of course he
succeeded in stopping the war, all right. And in recognition of
the great world service performed by himself and son Edsel in
putting an end to the war, his factories were~bombarded with
and twenty millions of dollars cash on hand. In the meantime
the PEOPLE called him" to the u. S. Senate. but a little soldier
boy happened to drop a banana peel on the sidewalk and Mr.. Ego
slipped up and strained his tally sheet and was forced home for
repairs. Of course his eighty million employees and his hundred
and twenty millions Of cash did not help him any-but Ego
thought they would. Still more recently Henry Ego attempted to
revamp Jews and the entire financial system of the world. Of
course, all must admit that Henry and Uncle Sam have all the
money there is. If by some process he can figure out a way to
put the money all back into circulation by a simple twist of the
wrist, well and good. And right now it looks like maybe Henry
Ego is about to succeed. When his loving friends in the U: S:
Senate hand him the Muscel Shoals water power project all tied
np in silk and satin, bound with blue ribbons and gold seals and
Henry Ford Ego accepts same with barred head and a low bow,
Just that moment will Henry begin to emulate Uncle Sam during
the cost plus period by putting his money into permanent circula-
ton. At the same time his ego will begin to fade away with his
money

The history of every thriving town or city in the nation offers
undeniabe proof that its growth or prosperity was directly due
to the sacrifice and labor of a group of public spirited citizens.
Rawlins is indeed fortunate in having more than the usual num-
Der of tirehess workers. The three live civic organizations are
proof positive of this statement. All three clubs are working
with an ambition to excel, yet there is no jealousy. With this
spirit and complete harmony during the year 1922 Rawlins is 60
ing to be able to point to accomplishments with considerable pride
at the end of the year. Suppose we all try our best to boost this
year so that it may be said there were no shirkers in the work
of making this city a better place in which to live and do business.
Nothing succeeds like success.

PROSPERITY

PROoPERTIf RETURNING =
Since an announcement a few weeks ago by the Union Pacific
Railroad that it had purchased several miles Of new box cars at a
cost of $1O OOOO 100000, The Republican has kept tab on similar
announcements by other transportation lines. Without consult
ing financial journals or inquiring carefully into more definite
details, the total as noted so far for rail equipment appropriations
has reached the staggering sum of several hundred millions of
dollars. Thus the evidence of returning prosperity is so plainly
written that he who runs may read. When big business" begins
to branch out; when every state in the Union will expend millions
the coming season on good roads; when the lumber industry in
many sections is running day and night; when irrigation projects
both Federal and private are financed to spend fabulous sums
when last but not least the stock and farming industries of the
nation are on the road to profitable operation, the future certain
ly looks promising. The year 1922 will no doubt bring the entire
world more peace and real prosperity than it has enjoyed since
1914.

WEEK OF MILD WEATHER
Temperatures Latter Part of
Week Were Among Highest on
Rccord-No Moisture Reported
From ANY section OF State.
(By 8. d. Flora, Meteorologist. }

Exceptionally mid, sunshiny and
pleasant weather for the time of year
prevailed over Kansas this week, ac-
cording to reports of correspondents
of the weather bureau. Temperatures
the latter part were among the highest
on record for December. while Christ
mas day was the warmest in many
years with the temperature above 60
degrees in nearly all sections. No
mea sura BILE fall of moisture occurred
in the state during the week, except
few sprinkles in the southeast quar-
ter and a light snow in the extreme
northwest counties, which began Mon
day night. December 25, aud was be-
ginning to cover the ground Tuesday
morning.
AS no, general rain or snow has
fallen for more than a month the
ground is beginning to dry out espe-
cially in the western half of the state,
where the lack of moisture is severely
felt A heavy blanket of wet snow
would be of great benefit at the pres
ent time. Wheat which was dornAnt
when the week began, showed signs or
growth as a result of the high tenn
peratures : Ii is generally rated as
good to excellent i'm the eastern half
of the state and fair to very poor in
the western half, the poorest pros
poets being found generally west and
south of Dodge City. where a great
deal is not up and som eNdriiling is still
being done. 1t is also reported that
in this section a great deal of wheat
has sprouted hut can not force its way
thru a crust Son the ground. Very
little wheat shows above the ground
anywhere in the western third of sthe
state. In the eastern third and tho
south central counties Hhe ground as
a rule is covered and wheat is fur
nishing good pasture for stock. 1t
still retains IFS green color where it
is up tho, of course, 5the effect of the
low temperatures a week ago are ap-
parent.
Not much farm work has been ac-
complished lately except odd jobs.
Some corn was husked this week and
threshing the grain sorghums made a
little progress. There was also a con-
Siderable amount of grain hauled to
market as the roads are as fine as they
ever get.

fire over the room.
There was a frantic dash for the
one door to the room and fifteen per-
sons were trampled and bruised. Miss
Eide Sutherland, principal, was Sc
verely burned rescuing children who
had been knocked down in the mad

ANOTHER ROMANCE BLOWS UP

Stepson and stepmother Not Bride
and Groom.
Washington. Dec. 26.-The metro
politan police were asked this after
noon to look for SebaI Christie, 2S,
and Bess Lee Christie, AZ, his step
mother. who were married today in
violation of the District of Columbia
penal code.
A license was issued to them by
the clerk of the District of Columbia
municipal court and the wedding
ceremony performed a few minutes
later in the district building before
some attache with an inquiring mind
began a search of the acts of congress
to. see if the marriage was within the
law.
They discovered that the marriage
of a man to his stepm other is ex-
pressly prohibited and that 'such a
marriage is absolutely void alb initio
without being SO decreed.'
But by the time this information
reached the proper officials, Sebal
Christie and his steprnother-bride had
departed on their honeymoon. 1t will
be the duty of the policeman who
catches up with them to solemnly in
form them that they are just STEP
