John e. Jones: "It seems to
me that it would be a splendid
idea in Douglas if the police
would inaugurate one system of
arm signals for motorists and
stick to that Since have been
in Douglas have seen about
ten drivers use arm signals and
some Of those were not standard.

streets to warrant control of that

Judge S. w. Mccall, McNeala
"One thing I have always noticed
about the Dispatch is that they
are always in favor of anything
that will promote the growth OF
the town. That would be a good
idea for individuals TO carry

H. G. Stromp, Amarillo, Texas:
"I can understand why Douglas,
people speak of their city as if
it were a favorite child of Che
gods. We feel the same way in
Amarillo, but the gods have

lilo is developing into some CITY,

Paul Seiber, Ell Paso: "Who could
ask for more delightful weather
than you have here? I have been
here all this week, and there has
been shower every night. Doug
lasltes have no cause to complain
about the heat"
William Hallens, Topeka. Kan:
II have heard a good deal about
Douglas and would like to come
here to live. I think it is one OF
those places fast growing scarce
in which man can grow up with
the city. Horace Greeley had the
right dope when he said, Go west,

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
1T ALL DEPENDS

If you rise with the dawn and keep
pegging away
At whatever there is to be done,
If you never permit your attention to
stray
From task that you once have
begun,
If no matter how weary you happen
to feel
With trouble you gamely contend
And although at last you may stagger
and reel
You carry the job to the end
You are sure to gain plenty of power
and pelf--
So I hearr,though I never have tried
it myself
If you wear brave smile when you've
spent your last cent
And are shabby and hungry and cold
If you look upon life with unruffled
content
In the midst of afflictions untold,
If you VOW that tomorrow you'll start
forth anew,
Look sinister Fate in the eye
And gaze past the clouds to the prom
iSing blue
OF kindly and beautiful sky;
You are sure to be wealthy and fam
GUS some day
At least SO I've heard many good
people say.
If you never grow downcast when life
seems too rough,
If you sing gay song in your heart,
Grow still more determined at every
rebuff
And get ready to make fresh start,
If no matter how cruel the world
seems to grow
You never get sad or depressed,
But laugh off your troubles as onward
you go
And say that they're all for the best,
You are certain to rise to the top in
the end
We are often informed don't
bet on it, friend.
