auditorium. We are willing to
make the assertion that one would
have to travel far and wide to dis
cover a high school of similar size
where another such splendid array
of talent of the substantial kind
could be found. A program of such
character cannot be put on, without
much good, sound, practical study
ing. The fact that there we're so
few points difference clear through
the program, between those who
handled similar parts, goes to show
that it was not case of a one boy,
or girl affair-that is we mean it
was not the overshadowing bril-
liancy of any single one, that piled
up points for one or the other side.
Especially was this true of the four
who took part in the debate. With
but eight points difference, it can
be seen that it was really a toss-up
as to which team was the stronger
The contest was a great event,
and merited the approval of every
citizen of this community.

CLEAN UP-PAINT UP

One of the outstanding features
of these towns is cleanliness. 1t is
this thing perhaps more than any
other that most attracts the tour
lists or visitors who stop here. This
being the fact, we have a reputation
to maintain. To keep the place
clean and sanitary requires both
work and expense. However, it is
worth all that we put into it, and
more too IF property is to be sold.
a few dollars spent for paint, and If
it has been kept clean, will add hun
dreds of dollars to its selling price.
IF the property is to be maintained
as a home for the owner, keeping 1t
cleaned up and painted, will work
wonders toward keeping away dis
ease germs. So we see that 1t is
really cheaper in both instances to
paint than not to paint. We have
been practically free from disease
epidemics. largely due to our clean
illness. We want to keep it that
way So let all brighten the cor
ners where you are" Paint will do
it.
Also, get your swatter oiled up
and handy for that first fly.

THOSE MONUMENTS

Now that Mr.. T. II. Simpson has
placed the order for the soldiers
monuments, it is none too soon to
begin to lay plans for appropriate
exercises in connection with the ac-
ceptance of them. Time soon rolls
around, and there should be some
sort of public services or celebra-
ton, when they are finally placed
here. The cost of these monuments
entails biggest outlay of money
ever donated by single individual
to this county for any purpose. How
about big unveiling of the monu-
ments? Such occasions can, and
very often are, made memorable
events, and celebrities will attend
them and take part, when it is al
most impossible to get them to come
to such small places as this, for any
other purpose. But this is only
suggestion. What sort Of an event
shall it be, people? Let's press into
use a little gray matter on the sub
ject.

Movie Stars Wealth

Ruth Roland is said to be the
richest of the movie stars. This is
the talk around Hollywood, where
she is believed to be worth three
million dollars Ten years ago she
was buying a $3.50 lot in Los Ange-
les on the installment plan-$10
down and $40 week.
A lot of the talk about the fabu-
lous wealth of movie actors, of
course, is press-agent bunk. But
the stars unquestionably are not on
the road to the poorhouse, you'll
reflect as you ponder some of their
evidences of wealth:
Mary Pickford and Doug" live
in a palace on an estate at Beverly
Hills, Calf, valued at S350,000.
Charlie Chaplin has 100000
home. Anita Stewards Los Angeles
home is worth $125, 700, which she
rents at $1,000 a month and lives in
bungalow.
What do they do with their mon
ey? The richest, Ruth Roland, is
understood to prefer endowment
insurance, but the insurance people
turn her down as a bad risk" on
account of her dangerous stunts.
Tom Mix and Bill Hart own big
ranches.
Most of the stars say they have
salted their surplus funds in relia-
BILE bonds. Mary Pickford is ru-
mored to have a million and a half
in Liberties. Harold Lloyd, soon to be
millionaire, likes railroad bonds.
AS a side-line, some of the he
stars breed prize animals-goats,

10-For building public roads,
2.42 cents.
11-For other government activi-
ties, 1887 cents.
Note the last two items, road
building, and running the other
government activities. They are
the expenditures that most directly
benefit you. They are most in the
public interest. They total 1929
cents out of your dollar
This is not to say that the other
85 cents should not have been spent.
National defense is necessary. The
wars for which those IS cents are
paying may have been inevitable.
But war, as a general proposition, is
terribly wasteful, and our past
wars are playing havoc with every
dollar you pay today in federal
taxes.
The next time we get real enthu-
siastic about a war, let's sit down
and figure out whether or not we
want to increase the IS cents in our
tax dollar to 90 cents before we be-

Post Office News

Because of a surplus in the assis-
tant post office funds, the smaller
offices have been given the privi-
lege to appoint the chief clerk, as
sistant postmaster for the coming
three months, In the local office
Mr.. John Scott will bear that title
for that period, which will add $500
this year on his salary, making it
$500 for the year.
In the clerks civil service examin-
alton held recently, in which eight
applicants took the test, the three
highest were John Ross, Curt Shill-
ing, and Paul Rex. We understand
that two vacancies will occur early
this summer in the clerical force,
and that the first two named will be
given the places. While Mr. Ross
graded a little higher in the exam
ination, Mr.. Shilling was first on the
list, owing to the fact that he was
a soldier.
