one writing them and soliciting their help
in emergencies like this? Oh no, they are
out to get the business, and do not pay any
taxes, subscribed to any benevolent under
taking, or help out when dire calamity falls
upon someone in our community. 1t falls
upon the local business people to donate the
heaviest, and such an appeal is seldom if ev-
er refused. We could enumerate scores Of
instances of this kind but our people know
that in patronizing home industry they are
helping maintain our institutions in the only
way possible.
The twaddle that prices were reduced
only a short time ago and that an alleged
farmer paper was responsible for this re-
duction in prices is just another example of
unadulterated Misrepresentation. Prices nave
been dropping for the past s months, and
it is not only locally, but all over the nation.
A year ago a dollar would buy as much
as $l.2O would Is months ago; six months
ago, such purchasing price had increased to
$l.4O and today a dollar has the same pur-
chasing power as S .65 had Is months ago.
Altho commodity prices have drop
ped enormously SO that the present purchas-
ing power is increased more than SO per cent,
there is one great octopus that resolutely
maintains its old prices and that is the rail
road freight department. The price of pas
senger fares are commencing to drop in
parts of this country, but not as free will Of
fering by the railroads, but as a competitive
rate against bus lines. 1t costs more to trans
port a bushel of rye to the Twin Cities today
than the price paid in the terminal elevators
there.
When the day arrives that we have good
highways into Plentywood we believe that
buses will carry freight here in place of
the railroad, and it can be hauled cheaper by
busses today than the freights will do.
Whenever the freight rates drop in
proportion to the cost of other commodities
the purchasing power of a dollar will be
more than three times what it was 8 months
ago, and this reduction in price will be hand
ed down to the buying public and not kept
by our business people. They are only too
willing to do all in their power to reduce
the cost Of an article, and always pass re-
duction on to the public.

RELIEF ROAD WORK

Chairman Frank French has a plan
whereby the road building in this county
will be of more benefit to the taxpayers and
residents. His plan is that instead of hiring
a few men for the entire working season;
to employ only an overseer for the entire
period, and ascertain just who are the need
lest farmers and taxpayers throughout the
county, and make arrangements whereby
these parties can be employed for a limited
time, so that they can earn 500 clear for
themselves after deducting pay for their
board as well as for the teams used.
These parties would be required to bring
along four good work horses and Mr.. French
believes that if paid on the same basis as the
road work that has been carried on in Sas-
katchewan this last year, that each farmer
will be able to clear $4,000 in about IS
days time.
In order to do this with the limited
amount of funds for building roads it would
become necessary to increase our road levy
tax, and this we failed to do last year.
This is a matter that the County Tax
payers Association can work on with great
benefit to all concerned.

BOLSHEVISM

The Sunday School Times" Of Octo-

speaks of the believers in the Primorsky

Families were broken up, fathers and moth

a consequence Of cold and hardship in one
place where we stopped for a day sixty dead
women and eighty dead children were thrown
off the train" These are the horrors of boil

WESLEY

Westby Miss Marjorie Enger
The Washington times., 1931-06-10

I am about to write what I
know about love. It may not
be popular, but it will be a
great relief to me to write 1t
after all the blithering bunk
one reads on this subject. And,
perhaps, it may be a relief to
you to read it. For it is pos
sible that you have come to
the same conslusion.
I think that our fantastic
eulogies of romance are tommy
rot. I don't believe one OF
them. I have never seen them
work. Personally, I must con-
fess have never had any OF
these ecstatic results from love.
I can easily become fond OF
people, and I can usually make
them fond Of me-but I'm not
a steady, reliable performer.
Remain friendly-yes. But
simply can't go on grooming.
Twenty.four hours Of romance
is Just about all I can endure.
After that I get natural again.
I don't want to look at the
moonlight any more. I don't
want to press any more violets.
I want to go off and do some
thing else.'. something serious
and difficult and mature.
something that I can do with
a cool brain and an entirely
Indifferent heart.
Worse to Follow
This attitude alone would
disqualify me as one of the
Worlds Great Lovers-but there
Is worse to follow.
Love is supposed to make a
Grand Guy out of you. It
doesn't make a Grand Guy out
of me. AS soon as I love some
one 1 want to boss them. OF
course, pretent that it's for
their good. But how am I to
know what's good for anyone2
The truth is, I love to run other
peoples lives, and love gives me
a perfect alibi. Why, I have
done more ornery, contempt
ible, unfair and actually cruel
things in the name Of love than
T would ever have dreamed Of
doing as a regular citizen. If I
treated a stranger as I fire.
quently treat those I love, he'd
have me arrested as common
nuisance.
In short, love fails me and I
fail love. And yet
In. spite of all this, I believe
in love, and I'm glad I've loved.
And shall keep on loving ur'
til the end of my days. I'll never
succeed at it, but I will always
keep hoping. And that hope is
the greatest, cleaneSt, finest
thing in life.
Love, after all, is only a
dream. It never comes quite
true for anyone. But it is the
best dream there is. It holds
all we know of honor and ten
derness and fairness and gen.
erosity. To be sure, we never
achieve these fine qualities
when we try to put our dream

DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan Clendening-

babies and children will get all
of these things under ordinary
feeding conditions. Mothers
milk, from a healthy mother
who herself is eating a proper
ly varied diet, will usually be
adequate in all the vitaminS,
but not necessarily, and it is
the usual custom to add orange
Juice and cod liver oil to all
babies diets in order to supply
the most important Of the
vitaminS, the anti-scurvy vita.
minis in orange juice and the
anti-rickets vitamin in cod liver
oil. Babies and children need
to have their food assured Of
vitamin content more than
adults because vitamins are
needed for growth and develop
ment, not only of the whole
body, but of special parts, such
as teeth.
OF late, manufacturers have
been putting many vitamins up
in concentrated form. One such
product called "Viosterol" is
manufactured by many drug
firms, and can be purchased at
any drug store. It has the same
vitamin as cod liver oil, D, and
most Of these products also
contain vitamin A, which seems
to help protect against infec-
ton as well as protect against
a serious form Of eye disease
which occurs if vitamin A is alb
sent from the baby's diet. Most
viosterols are made from corn
oil and not from cod liver oil.

CHAPTER S5.
Due no doubt to subtleties Of
presentation, the news that she,
was to be let in for a sur
gical operation did not at first
come as a shock to Jenny.
Good Lord! What was the
matter with her? Sitting there
In his office, himself seeming

perhaps Noon had told her
everything except the truth.
What If I have cancer? Mil.

facts that might terrify-
Nonsense! A man like Noon
had no time for subtle psyche

Season Of Seasons
Then, too, this season of sea-
sons, Just when Jenny had
made what she considered her
most important social wedge!
Mrs. Grant Spiegel had un-
doubtedly taken a fancy to
Jenny. Herself, one Of the
founders of the Cosmos Club.
she had all but volunteered to
put Jenny up for membership.
They had lunched together.
Jenny was already harboring
the plan Of arranging an elabo-
rate function around the dow
ager figure of Mrs. Grant
Spiegel. The surgical operation
would put a serious kink in
that important plan. In count
less plans.
Then, Of course. there was
that wave of recurring fear
about Ramon. In the scare
specked hours which followed
her knowledge that in a week
she must go on the operating
table, how thoughts and fears,
trepidationS and concerns, had
floated about without anchor
age.
It was difficult to imagine
Ramon coming to her through
the etheric smell Of hospital
corridors. Prying nurses! She
had successfully kept the period
Of her observation in the hos
pital from him. But this time
he must know. How curious to
be confronted with the need Of
telling Ramon that she must
go to q hospital for an opera
tion.
He had been distrait at lunch
at the Ritz the day before.
Terribly so, the lurking pain in
her side seemed to collide with
