OUR NEWsBOY

TT is an evening paper which the boy
brings to us, and it arrived about
six o'clock. All through the winter
months it is dark before six, and l am
generally home and eager to read be-
fore the paper comes. l cannot see
the boy as he rides up the walk, but
| can generally hear him as he losses
the paper upon the porch and rides
away to finish his task.
The nights are cold, often, and
stormy, and sometimes the wind is
blowing and the rain is beating down,
but these vicissitudes of the weather
seem to make very little difference
with Shorty; when six O'Clock comes |
can be pretty sure that if 1 go out I
shall find the paper lying on the porch.
| do not recall that he has ever failed
us during the two years that he has
been upon the route.
Our house is some distance from the
street-so far, in fact, that it is i'm
possible for him to toss the paper out
of danger as he rides along on his
bicycle. He always rides in and lands
the paper on the porch. l never find
it in the shrubbery or at some remote
corner of the lawn, or lying wet and
soggy in the beating rain. 1t is where
like best to heve it.
When he comes to make his collec-
tons, as he does on Saturday morn
ings, he is always polite, always smil-
ing, but business-like, straightforward
and given to wasting no time. I'm sure
he has learned to cover lot of terri
tory in a few hours.
Nancy gave him a necktie last
Christmas Not one of these marked
down-for-this-sale" kind of ties, but an
honest-to-goodness one bought at
Cookies, whose slogan is 'We sell only
the highest grade goods He was
'tickled pink" over it, as the boys say,
and rode right over to tell Nancy what
he thought of her.
Father wanted to trade one of his
ties for mine" he explained, ''but l
wouldn't trade this one with anybody"
/ don't know what he's going to do
when he grows up. Maybe he'll be
bank president, or an automobile sales
man. or a street car conductor, or a
corporation lawyer. Whatever he is
I'm sure he's going to be a good one.
I'd recommend him for any job he
wants to tackle, even If 1t was for
President of the United States. for
he's getting training in promptness,
and thoughtfulness for those he
serves, and courtesy and business in
tegrity and judgment, and he's going
to show these qualities later in life
What more could one ask?

Public Baths for Dogs

In Munich, Bavaria, public baths for
dogs have been established and ara
being maintained by the local authOrF-
ties out of public taxes. This was
thought necessary, due to the great
number of unclean CANNES that were
noticeable on the streets since the war.
The baths are open from $50 a. M. to
p. m. and they are widely used by
pet owners

Self Respect Is
Mans Greatest
Asset-F airlamb

Before the Mems Club of the Meth,
odist church Monday evening, Millard
Fairlamb said self respect was a
mans greatest asset. He was address,
ing the club on Christianity as ap-
piled to the common law.
Mr.. Fairlamb went into detail ex-
planning to his listeners as to how the
criminal law of this country prose
cutes all alike Statutory crime he
said, was considered along with all
other forms of crime, which he did
not concur with in this particular. He
told of the city charter, for instance,
which a minor violation thereof was
prosecuted with the same diligence
as that of a murderer,
Eve are the most prolific lawmak-
ers, as we'll as the most prolific law
breakers" he continued Citing in
contrast to prosecution of criminals,
the public drinking cup, and even the
court judges themselves violate the
criminal law in this respect by pat
ronizing the same in the court room
He reviewed crime nationally, as we'll
as internationally, citing many i'm
perfectiOns, especially in America.
The Mems club meets fortnightly
in the basement of the church. A
dinner is served at 6:15, after which
member puts on a 15-minute pro-
gram. The meetings are becoming
popular and enlightening. The dinners
are served at cost. 35c per plate. By
laws and rules are established which
encourages every member to attend
each of the meetings.

Gomez for their products, and the con-
sumer is required to pay dispropor-
tionate prices for his necessities; it
is claimed that the middle man or
men, the broker or brokers, and the
handlers between the producer and
the consumer are receiving too much
for their profit and for their service.
There must be adjustment of these
inequalities if agriculture and stock
raising continue to survive and com
merce continues to prosper. 1t can
scarcely be hoped that the new gold
en- rule of humanity in business, pro-
nounced by President Coolidge, when
he asserted Prosperity cannot be
divorced from humanity" will be
voluntarily adopted in these vital
business dealings among men.

THE DIRECTORS.

Next month at Olathe directors of
the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users
association are to be elected.
Of all the elections in the history
of the project the approaching one
is of the utmost Importance to every
farmer under the project
They will have the tasg of agreeing
upon the price and finally accepting
the project from the government. De.
ductions from the $7,OOO,OOO charge
at this time will come before this
board. Granting that $1,5OO 900 is to
be charged off, the job is still large
one. The unit of acreage which is to
be charged, and the price per acre
which is to be agreed upon. are but
a few of the problems which will con
front the new directors which will be
chosen next month.
Already lob hunters" are trying
to get on the board. This should not
be. A man elected to the board of
directors should be in every way fully
qualified and have no bee in his
bonnet" The task is one which re-
tA'i4 - AlA' NtlN btSl luOuSul ana
ability which it is possible to place
on the board
If the farmers are going to. give
proxies they should be careful as to
whom they sign away their rights. 1t
is complex matter to elect a ma
jority of the board, as at each of the
three principal points are sets of
men who are pulling in opposite di-
rections.
The Independent has no candidate
to propose. Neither do we have a
desire to oust any particuler mem
ber or members. But the selection
of the directors is a question which
should be carefully considered. If
proxies are to be given, and perhaps
it is the best method, give them to
parties who will vote for the best
equipped men to represent you.

WOULD SIMPLIFY LAWS

Governor Clarence J. Morley, in his
message to the legislature, had the
following recommendations to make
to the lawmakers:
In respect to any changes or en-
largements of our existing laws. as
sumo to make the following sugges.
tions
(a) The present system of con
struction and maintenance of public
roads and highways is costing the
taxpayers considerable sums annu-
ally, which should be saved to the
state and go into permanent con
struction and maintenance. A new
highway code should be prepared and
adopted to prevent any waste and to
establish system of economy and
efficiency in this work that will jus.
tify the confidence of the people in
the continued expansion Of the
states policy for good roads.
OBJ Consistent with the declaration
of the platform of the party in
power. abolish the state tax commiss
ion. With a full functioning Of the
state board Of equalization. the work
Of the tax commission becomes
largely duplication.
tc) So amend the primary election
law that adherents of one political
party may not participate in the
primaries Of an opposing political
party. This may be accomplished by
requiring all voters to register a
declaration Of their party affiliation,
with the right to vote at primary
elections only their declared party
ticket, with the privilege Of chang
Ing such party affiliation by re-regis
tration thereof prior to election. as
IN the case Of change Of residence.
CdD Provide a reformatory for
women. Women should no longer be
confined In, penitentiaries except for
felonies involving the life sentence
(e) Eliminate from the prohibition
law the right to obtain, possess OF
dispense intoxicating liquor for
"sacramental uses" Experience
shows that this exception is too often
flagrantly abused
d) The business Of farming and
stock raising and dairying, the in
dustries most extensively followed
and most necessary to the welfare Of
our people, should be generously pro
tected and encouraged. II seems
safe to assert that the farmer and
the stockgrower are less favored by
just or adequate returns for their
labors than any other class of pro,
ducers or Industries. The agricultur.
list and the stockman have not been
receiving a fair return "A living

cities in the west for her business
venture.
