France is willing to reduce the
amount of reparations Germany is to
pay her, provided we cancel an equal
amount of the war debt France owes
to us.
Very interesting-quite generous,
indeed.
We didn't start the war, and over
on the other side they say We didn't
stop it.
And since we didn t start it, and
didn't stop it, and owe no debts for
others to cancel, they propose that we
step up nobly and hold tha bag.
And it's a fine large bag, too, with
hole at each end.

1--WE kill our presidents with over
work and allow our vice presidents
to do little or nothing" remarks q
writer with brains under his hat.
There is food for an encyclopedias
of thought in that statement, lament
ably true ms it is.
Some day the burdens Of the presi-
dency will be divided, and the vice
president will become an important
cog in the governmental machinery, in
stead OF an ornament under pay.
Perhaps Mr.. Coolidge, having tasted
of the bitterness of political sweets,
will be the executive to advocate this
needed reform in our system of gov

Derivation OF Lent
The word Lent is derived from tie
old Anglo-saxon word "Lencten,"
meaning Spring. and as the fast fails
in the early part OF the year, BY coIn-
mon usage Lent is now generally as
ISOLATED with the beginning OF Spring,
which comes to full flower with the
Easter Festival of the Resurrection
and the reawakening OF life.
AS with all these ancient festivals
many quaint and curious customs at
taching 10 Lent have teen handed
down through the ages. In medieval
times meat. eggs and milk were for
hidden in Lent. not only by ecclesias-
teal, but by statute law 1t is from
this prohibition OF the eating OF eggs.
that the Easter egg custom of mod
ern times grew. The chief Lenten
food from the earliest days was fish

CITY,
This strict observance of Lent has
gradually been softened, though it
continued TO be inculcated by such
earnest Churchmen as William Law
and John Wesley; and the custom of
women wearing mourning in Lent,
which had been followed by Queen
Elizabeth and her Court, survived well
into the Nineteenth Century. Here,
in America, in the Roman Catholic
as well as in the Episcopal and Luth-
eran Churches, while conformation to
the rules laid down for fasting is urg-
ed, tolerant policy is observed and
the devout are neither required nor
expected to engage in such fasting as
might be deleterious to health.

For PASSPORT Sewer System
Another recommendation made by
Engineer Bnrwell TO the Board OF
Commissioners is that as to a. sewer
layout for PASSPORT He urges that
such layout should be made TO cover
the whole of PASSPORT and adjoining
built-up sections, and that it be plan
ned to fit in with the general plans as
developed in the report of the Anna
polls Sewerage Commission of March

holds, is considered desirable in order
that any sewers that may be blriit In

Bruce Lampson, manager Of the

that the national body meet In this
state. Although the Colorado as
sociation is one OF the youngest Of
the ten state organizations market
ing through the American Wheat
Growers, 1t is one Of the fastest grow
ing of all of them," said Mr.. Lamp
son. more than 3,100 Colorado
farmers are now orderly marketing
their grain through the association,
and by so-doing are assisting In
stabilizing and obtaining better
prices for wheat. The present mem-
bership has grown from about 900
in January"
