A WORTHWHILE CONTEST.

A total of 357 American cities were
entered in the National Traffic Safety
Contest when the list closed February
10, according to announcement of the
National Safety, Council The purpose
OF the contest is to reduce automobile
accidents and promote safe driving.
The contest will run throughout the
year and cities with the lowest acct
dent rates in each population group
will be awarded trophies, as will the
state making the best aggregate show
ing.
Eleven of the 10 cities with more
than 100000 population are enrolled,
New York and Buffalo being the only
ones missing. Twenty-Five of the "a
cities of between 100000 and 100000
are entered, along with two-thirds of
the cities with more than 100000 but
less than quarter million. The small
er population groups are likewise ex-
cellently represented. 1t is said that
strenuous work by the American
Legion and the Kiwanis International
resulted in flood of last-minute en-
tries. The response, so far as the
Council is concerned, was entirely
voluntary, and demonstrates the
eagerness of cities to seize an oppor-
tunity to do something definite about
the accident problem. Sporadic local
campaigns have too often proven in
effective.
Every person will wish the contest
all success. The work done will do
much to bring home to the driver the
responsibility that is his when he takes
the wheel of his car, and the need
for safety, competence and plain old
fashioned courtesy on streets and
highways. It will unquestionably be
the means of saving thousands of lives
that would otherwise be needlessly de-
stroyed.

oNE-THrRD FOR TAXES.

In a decade the price of gasoline has
been cut in half, disregarding the tax
But rising tax rates have taken much
of the benefit of this away from the
, motorist.
In 1920 the average price of gaso-
line was almost 80 cents per gallon,
and state taxes averaged .o9 of cent.
At the beginning of 1882 the price
averaged only 10 cents-but the tax
rate averaged cents, making the
total cost to the motorists II cents a
gallon, of which over 80 per cent went
to the state.
The present high price of gasoline, {"
therefore, must be blamed, not on the
oil industry, which has made con-
sistent progress in improving motor
fuel and in lowering its cost, but on
exorbitant gas taxes.

Book Chat.
In March literary change
Is seen throughout the land.
No longer essays. drama, verse
And tales are in demand.
Murder, love and suicide
In the discard now reside.
What care we for social woes,
Problem tales and psychic grief?
Back to Mother Earth we turn,
Seeking brain and heart relief;
Choosing now for real romance
Catalogues of seeds and plants.

DID YOU EVER STOP

BY Edison r. Waite

" u ,
That the majority of the people arr
conservative is true, but this trait o.
conservatism should not blind them tt
the Importance of buying the thing.
they need at the present time. A
dollar will now buy more and better
things than ever before. Just glance
through the advertising columns Of
your newspaper and see what bargains
you can get. Just as soon as this de-
preston, caused by the economy scare
is over, you won't get so much fol
your money. Read the ads and buy
what you need now.
It's just too bad that in this day and
time some towns are inflicted with
some distorters of the truth-citizens
who have no better Judgment than to
say all the mean things they can
about the home town by finding some
fancied faults and, with vivid
Imagination, enlarging on them. These
men should be stunned with the very
picture they draw and their own pic
ture hanged with their faces to the
wall
Pinedale, Wyoming, is a splendid
little town in the heart of COW coun-
try. It is also a tourist and hunting
section. Here E. v. Cockins publishes
the Pinedale Roundup, which is doing
much to tell the world about that
country. Mr.. Cockins says that Pine
dale is 104 miles from the nearest
railroad, and the Roundup is publish
ed farther from a railroad than any
other newspaper in the United States.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
support the Chamber of Commerce be-
cause it is the peoples workshop for
the building of the community.
1t occurs to me that the different
governments should turn elsewhere
than to gasoline for new revenue.
Automobiles are no longer a luxury.
but a necessity. Few people in these
days use their cars for pleasure alone,
and any extra tax must fall most
heavily upon the man of moderate
means. Today the city man and the
farmer are compelled to use automo-
biles to go about their daily business.
In the same way, schools are not built
on every corner. He must pay more
for the transportation of his children
if the tax is raised. Rising taxes on
gasoline is hitting directly at every
person, rich or poor.
Adequately supported newspapers are
the most potent agencies for COM
munity development.
There is desirable business every
where for the firms who go after it
and bring it in by the aid of news
paper advertising.

LET THE BEST TEAM WIN.

The World Series, the annual baseball classic will be a battle between the two great American cities The American League team of New York will play the National League team of Chicago The situation is that ought to bring out large attendance and produce large receipts No other two cities have as large population from which to draw audiences.
 On the record the New York team ought to win if Babe Ruth sufficiently recovers from his illness to participate in his best form in the games. How eyer there have been times aplenty when the outcome did favor the team with the best record in the pennant contests. Philadelphia ought to have won last year but she did not. The Giants have won against the Yankees when the record pointed toward the latter deserving victory.
 Whatever may be the result, we are certain to have some interesting baseball during the days that follow the beginning of the World Series on September 28 and continuing until the contest is completed. So let those of who unable to witness the games follow the reports with interest Let the attitude be that of one who can say: Let the best team win"

SYMPATHY FOR SPEAKER GARNER.

The heartfelt sympathy of the whole Nation goes out to Speaker Garner whose mother IS deao at 'iie old family home at Detroit, Texas It IS agreed oy those who have studied the remarkable career or John N Garner that he to this 8l-year-old mother who is now dead lot for the character and ability that made possible his remarkable record Gamers career has been achieved by determined and persistent fight. It did not come tbrouoh any special turn in affairs that gave him prominence in the spotlight It came by h1e bigger and bigger as the years came and departed He never relapsed He always pushed forward from achievement of the past to greater and greater achievements through continuous hard worK' lie mastered the tasks of today and was thereby fitted for the greater tasks of tomorrow His mother was that sort of character She did her work we'll She reared her family and performed the duties oi a housewife and mother well. She sought neither fame nor glory She content in doing well the tasks that she met from day to day, permitting the future to for itself
 She was very proud of her son. She was proud not so much for the reputation gained by hlm as for the reason that she watched him grow ano knew he was deserving of the position and lame that he acquired. They have made no mistake she said when her son was chosen to be Speaker of the House John was good boy and is goos man. She wanted to live to see him elected tt the vice-Presidency. It pity that sh' could not have lived another two months
 Mir Garner and his mother were very close They understood and loved each other intensely His loss is all the more that account. The sym pathy of the people for him in his terrific loss is greater because of it.
