OUR hat AND SHOES"

There is a saying that if an Eng
lishman's hat and shoes are neat he
is well dressed. The point is that
these two important parts of ones
wearing apparel probably are more
noticeable to discerning eyes than ev-
en- the suit of clothes of the wearer.
1t may be proof of another saying
that the little things count most.
We could well apply this to a city
or town. Clean streets, well kept
parks, substantial and freshly painted
buildings-in short-a ''tidy" NUM-
cipal atmosphere will go long way
toward showing Grangeville to the
world as a progressive city.
All of us owe to ourselves in self
citizenship, and to Grange
Wills as our home to keep its that"

STRAW VOTES

A popular pastime just before g
presidential election is the game OF
taking Straw votes. We never have
put much faith in the game 1t all

and who is at" Some candidates
have won in the straw-vote game,
only to go down in defeat when the
final returns were tabulated. Never
theless, 1t is great sport, and Incl
dentally, it is fairly good campaign
propaganda.
Straw votes serve about one pur-
pose that we now call to mind: when
a fellow is taking one he is for that
time being not into any worse mis-
chief. The majority of straw-votes
are eminently unfair. They are de-
signedly taken at time when the
proponent of the candidate who wins" /
is pretty sure he is among friends.
Some regulative measures have been
taken against the straw-vote fiend,
particularly in large Industrial plants.

Redbird Got Its Name
From, Church Dignitory

AT first thought 1t Is difficult to see
the relationship between the common
redbird, or cardinal, and the hinges of
the front door. The explanation Is
simple enough, however, when the
words are traced to their source. The
redbird was originally called card
inal because his plumage bore the
coloring of the hat and cassock of
cardinal of the Roman Catholic
church. The use of the word "cardi-
nal'' as denoting a dignitary of the
church came about through the poetic
fancy Of an early pope, who spoke of
the cardinals as "the hinges by which
all things are moved" in connection
with church government. In the Latin
language "cardo, cardinis." is the
equivalent Of the English hinge"
For this reason the dignitary was
called cardinal, as signifying his
function as one of the hinges" of the
church. From this early usage card
inal" came to be applied to anything
of prime Importance, including the
cardinal numbers, the cardinal points
of the compass and the cardinal vir-
tues. The use of the word as apply
ing to a color came about from the
fact that the color was the striking
feature of the dress of q cardinal.
This explains the use Of the word In
naming the redbird.

Lapps Confenfed With
FetD Creature Comforts

! No one knows when the Lapps came
into Sweden, but for centuries this
queer little people, branch of the
Mongol tribe, have wandered about
the mountains with their reindeer, liv-
ing a more or less nomadic life and
holding their own in population, al
though not increasing In any number.
During the summer months, when
the reindeer are on the move, the
Lapp contents himself with a birch
pole tent covered with canvas or turf,
so that it may readily be moved from
place to place. Some of the homes
have modern comforts but as a rule
the Lapp contents himself with very
little, says the Baltimore Sun.
In autumn the young reindeer are
marked on the ear with their owners
name. At this time there is gath
ering of all the tribes, and, though
to a stranger all reindeer look exact
~ alike, Lapp will point out his own
IN the herd with unfailing knowledge.
Nor does Lapp remove his neigh
)or's mark.

America is interested in China, as
it is interested in helping to foster
peace and good will throughout the
world. Every ripping wave of dis
continent which finds it's expression
in arms effects us, even though it
finds it source of displacement ON the
other side of the globe.
Late reports indicate that China's
war may not be of as long dura-
ton as first thought. The hopes and
prayers of the American people are
dedicated to these ends.
