this direction has been heavy and
sustained ever since the warm

Prosperity in the valley. which is
attracting many newcomers and
which is being heralded outside of
the valley far and wide is given as
one reason why travel has been SO
heavy, whereas in former years. it

ITALY PAYS

If we had followed the advice Of a
small minority in this country, we
would have graciously burned up the
notes and told our European allies
that the slate was wiped clean.
But the nation was saved from this
termination of the debt question, to
which such mock sentimentaly was

There never was any reason why
Europe should not pay for her fol-
ly. The World War was the natural
climax of laundering craftsmanship
and century-old hatreds that politi-
cal and business leaders had kindled
and finally famed into flames.
There is no more reason why a
nation should not make its word good
than an individual should pay his
Just and honest debts. When an in
dividual creates a debt, he has to
pay or be hauled into court. If he
defaults when his case is called for

him and suit may be entered to pay

The careful driver drives in a

The foolish driver IS the one

He never gets very far. And did
you ever notice that the tenders

In cutting around he often
finds his progress impeded by an

But the expediency of politics and
