w YHAT is preparedness" in the
n present condition of world
wv affairs? Are. battleships and
cruisers. armies and navies
the preparedness for which
peoples and nations stand in need? Is
security to be found in greater military
establishments or in greater prosperity
and contentment upon the part of the
citizens?
1t does not seem to me there Is much
doubt that 1t is with the latter.
The preparedness for which all
peoples have need in all countries not
simply European countries--is economic
health and financial sanity. A con-
tented and prosperous people is in
flnitely more vital TO world peace than
greater navieS and heavier armaments
The things with which governments will
have to contend in the future are the
economic distress and political unrest
of their own people The problems of
the future will arise more out of rela-
tionship of governments to their own
people rather than out of relationship
between governments. That is con-
dition of affairs about which we can
not think too much when we are think
ing of preparedness.

Whether from curiosity or just n

is not known, but a gentleman from
Sang Run called on Scoop Tuesday.
From indications, however, Scoop fig
ured that it was more from love of
publicity. He doesn't run taxi SER

and isn't bit like his name would
sound, but he sure knows his Indians.

Answer is POSTPONED


Answer is Postponed
The answer to the puzzle of last
week which asked how long it took
the squirrel before he could look out
of two holes of a tree at the same
time if it took five minutes to make
the first trip, five seconds less for the
second, five seconds less for the third,
ETC., has been indefinitely postponed,
and possibly will never be printed.
Before the squirrel finished his task,
the originator of the puzzle plugged
up one of the holes, and the truth will
never be known. Science is still baf-
fled over the question.
Jim Painter Missing; Last Seen On
Monday
Word has been received by Scoop
that Jim Painter has been missing
since Monday and was last seen on
Liberty street with hook and line. Dill
igent search has been going on by
members. of the Voluntary Save Us
Squad, and in a feverish heat they
have been boating up and down the
street in an effort to locate the, hole
which they believe he is in.
Col. Bell has been on the scene for
full 48 hours with blow torch and
camera so that he might have the first
snap of the man they bring up to the
surface. He has had no need of food
and drink because of the string of
catch, found in front of Loraditch's
garage, supposedly belonging to the
missing fisherman. If the water re-
cedes today, it is hoped that success
will be theirs for the asking.

The mystery woman, acting on the

April Fool


Probably most of the people who
read The Republican last week dis
covered what they thought to be a
terrible mistake A headline read
that the Fishing Season would begin
on February Second. But this was
just one of the newspapers little jokes
that happen in the best of families.
Last weeks paper was the nearest to
the date of April FOOLS day and we
couldn't let it go by unnoticed. So
this was everybody's April fool-to
think that one could have been fishing
two months ago. A bigger April fool
would have been to have told that
two months ago and had the county
Jail overcrowded. But Scoop was too
tender hearted for that. If you be-
lieve this, then you are April Fooled.
