source of great pleasure to you aud

We drove along the streets OF
Coulee City the other day with NO
eye for the beauty that our COM
munity offers. We were elated to
realize that OUT town may well be
called a place Of beautiful and at
tractive homes. But there Is room
for improvement. Some citizens ev-
identity have never given the sub
ject careful attention. The effect
i've use of shrubbery, the correct
placing of hedges, the care of
lawns and gardens has not yet ar
oused their interest and enthus-
iasm.
And to these people we offer a
suggestion. Drive about Coulee City
within the next few days or
weeks at the most. Note what many
of our citizens have accomplished
in the way Of home Identification
at but trivial expense. See what
possibilities lie in the humble
home setting gracefully and mod
estly in an attractive frame of
flowers and shrubbery.
Then look your own place over
and permit your imagination to
soar. Visualize the possibilities of
more carefully planned flower
garden, of the effective use of
shrubbery around the doorway, of
the restful beauty that a new
hedge may impart to the entire
effect.
You too can have a home of
beauty. Now is the time to make
your plans.

REGULAR FELLOWS

After several years of observing
people from the point of view Of
the editorial office, we have con-
cluded that those whose company
we enjoy most, who can be count
ed upon In times of emergency and
who are easy to get along with
are persons with well developed
sense of humor.
And we might add that this
sense of humor goes beyond a
mere cheerful disposition or the
ability to pass out witty remarks.
Our test of an individuals sense
of humor is very simple. "Can he
take a joke on himself?" we ask
ourselves when we seek to measure
his qualities.
