Missing Items

If an item sent to the Star Herald
for publication does not appear there
is usually a very good reason for it.
Two or three items sent in about the
stock law were not published as they
reached us too late for last weeks
paper and they would do no good in
this weeks issue.
A good item concerning the past term
Of school at Skaggs was sent to the
waste basket as the writer had failed
to sign his name. We have announced
many times that we could not publish
an article unless it was properly sign
ed with the writer's name and we re-

In every city, town and hamlet we
may find strong competition in busi-
ness, differences i'm politics and reli-
giOn, social rivalrics and personal an
tagOnisms-and these will probably
always exist to a greater or less extent
But there is one common ground on
which we should be willing to meet,
laying aside personal grievances and
prejudices-that is, where the com
mon welfare of "our town" is concern
ed.
In other words, no matter how much
we may disagree and fight among our
selves, we should stand up for our
town against all opposition. This sort
Of teamwork is what makes a town
worth while, insures its progress and
a better understanding among its peo-
pie.

Add to these figures the vast sums
