Reports from the annual meeting OF
the Addison county farm bureau are
most encouraging. There was a good
attendance and enthusiasm for work
during the coming year was more
marked than ever before. The Bureau
starts the year with a membership OF
about 600 and plans call for little in
tensive work when the roads are good
next spring to bring the membership
up to 1000.
Addison county has the first Bureau
in New England to go onto the $40
plan. This was considerable of a jump
from the old $500 plan, and the strong
and steady growth is all the more an
excuse for demonstration.

President Harding does well to eau
ton the republican leaders against lax

leaders of the minority are launching
propaganda to discredit the admins

If the republican leaders fall asleep
at the switch and lose a congressional
majority in the next elections, the adj
ministration's endeavors in this period
of readjustment will be doubly difficult.
Concurrent harmony between t h e

LIFE is WORTH LIVING

Life isn't worth living" was the scrawled
comment found on a tattered piece of paper in
the vest pocket of man who killed himself.
'Strikes everywhere, no work and the little there
is paying nggardy wages-it isn't worth while. "
And so he committed suicide.
The newspaper account indicated that there
were no dependents-that there will be no hungry
little tots to be fed by charity, no tired little
mother to wear herself out further not even a
greved parent to brood over lost son. So per-
haps it is just as WELL Of all towards, the suicide
is the most craven.
Yet there are a good many people who feel
that life is not worth living, that it sis naught but
a vale Of tears"
These folk are wrong, totally and absolutely
dead wrong. They are victims of self-delusiOn.
Life is worth living.
1t is worth living if only to see the sun shine,
the seasons vary, the storm lash itself into fury.
1t is worth living if only to feel the love of our
nearest and dearest
1t is worth living if only to go about from place
to place. to see everywhere the same faith the
same ambitions, the same aspirations, prayers
and yearnings on the part of all mankind.
OF course, there will be times when, looking
back upon our lives, we seem to see only failure
and wasted effort; times when we are sick and in
pain and the poor, frail body cries out for sur
cease; times when, wounded by those we counted
upon most for understanding and encouragement
we shrink within ourselves and become silent and
morose and Indifferent to life.
Then--a smile-a rift in the clouds-and lo!-
the world changes, stars shine again on our path
and, as through our tears we greet these heavenly
harbingers of hope and seadfastness and faith,
all qualms as to whether life be worth living flee.
And we KNOW life is worth living
So: Courage all We who despair beneath the
load.
Keep cheerful, confident, busy and do your level
best every day.
You can make flowers grow where only stones
lay before; you can transmute your burdens into
privileges, your dsappointments into blessings,
your sorrows into glories incomparable yes, even
though you be racked with pain, you can rise
superior to it and and prove, by your example,
that man is part of God.

you bring him up?" the neighbor lady
asked. 81 brought him up at the foot

Harry Sims.

CHEYENNE Follows Suit.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 13.--City Of
fcials here have taken action to ban
ish the "smut" magazines from Chey-
enne.
For several months some local news
dealers have been SELLING tabloid mag
azines which deal principally with sex
and risque subjects, and many Of
these publications, it is said, have fall
len into the hands of high school
students, both boys and girls. Parents
and school officials have complained
bitterly of the moral effec: of the
stuff on the minds and hearts Of the
young people.
Mayor Taylor, when interviewed,
said that he had visited the news en-
poriums where sale of these sheets
were reported to have been made, but
that apparently the stuff was hidden
from view. He further said that if
he found any such magazines in the
future he would proceed against the
retailers under the terms of the state
law prohibiting the distribution Of
obscene matter. If that fails, the
authorities will be able to fall back
upon the federal law, which provides
a maximum sentence Of FIVE years in
the penitentiary and a maximum fine
of $4,000 for those found guilty Of
trafiicking in such matter.
The magazines are barred from the
mails. but they have been given
national distribution by express and
freight. 1t is only recently that any
one has taken action to stop the dis
tribution.

instructed by Chief Williams to take
all offenders found offering the
pamphlets for sale before Mr.. Van

will be considered contraband, it seems

them in his possession" Chief Will

brought before him for having the
magazines.

on a mule. He had his jaw tied up
and at first seemed inclined to pass
by without a word. On second
thought, though, he halted and gruf-

"HOw fur to Salt Lake?"
"Three hundred miles,"
"Hmpfw
Travelled far?"
Bout two hundred miles"
Break your jaw?'
"Nope. Just an internal toothache
and I'm aridin' five hundred miles to
get it pulled"
Without ado, one of the Fasteners
produced string, tied it around the
tooth and yanked it out.
"Why don't you try that before
starting on so long rider" he asked.
Dun good reason. Didn't have a
string"
