FOR REMEMBRANCE

The Girl Scout national conven.
ton brought forth a splendid ex-
hibition Of over 100 samplers. From
all parts Of the country and each
with its original pattern these sam
piers were judged. Some Of them
were on linen woven and woods dyed
by the young needlewomen. Our
vote goes to this organization for
furthering an interest in the old
art that dates way back beyond
the days Of Kennewick great grand
mothers. We cherish those sam
piers made by our ancestors not
only for their material value, but
because we are very sentimental
people. We think Of the hands that
moved over the linen, the needle
that was guided up and down as the
colors and figures took form. Each
old sampler weaves a personality
in its threads.

NO HAM AND EGGS

1t was unbelievable that the peo-
pie of California would vote into be-
ing the Thirty Dollars Every Thurs
day" phantasy but it is astonishing
that so many affirmative votes were
cast. We recently noticed a Town.
send banner with the inscription
''Ten million people cannot be era
zy." We thought the slogan was true
but when we consider the percent
age of people who voted for this
ham and eggs thing in California we
calculate that just about that num-
Der in the United States are as
crazy as looms.
These pension schemes are foster
ed by racketeers who take advan-
tage of the fact that in times Of
stress and depression people can be
persuaded to believe almost any,
thing, provided it promises to make
their lot easier. Organizations are
formed with member contributing
few pennies each week. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been
wheedled out Of the old folks to
carry on the campaign" Most o.
the pickings get into the pockets OF
promoters who would rather graft
than work.
Now that California has been pref
ty well MIXED, Oregon and Wash
ington will be invaded next. It is
predicted that the agitators will
move up here in force within the
next two months. Just as soon as
this first advance guard reaches
Washington, and there is some evil
dence which leads to the belief that
their contacts have already been
made here, another group of racke- |
teers from California will also visit
the state. ---:
The first group will sponsor an
initiative along the nature of the
ham and eggs act. Just as soon as |
this gets well started the second |
gang steps In. The first group feeds
upon the sympathies Of the down 1
and cutters and the elderly people.
The second group works upon the
business men, taxpayers and indus
trial leaders. Their plan Is to col
lect huge war chest to combat the
"ham and egg" movement. It would
not be surprising to find that the
promoters and the antagonistic
group have daily contacts and COM
pare notes to see how the shake
down IS coming on.-Sunnyside Sun.

THE USUAL SUPPLY

We are glad to hear that local
merchants and manufacturers do
not expect more war toys than Is us
ual, this Christmas. The trend will
be "toy models Of national defense
equipment" using the words of the
toy manufacturers. OF course, the
young will want models Of the air.
ships and battleships they see In
pictures and hear talked about. The
usual toy soldiers will be lined up
forr battle ON many a hving-room
carpet with miniature guns drawn

pected of youth when war seems
the main topic Of adult converse

MAKE LABOR DAY SAFE

On Labor Day. Monday, September A.,
thousands of citizens will go on motor trips
and outings. The highways will be crowded
with motor vehicles, and unless unusual care
and precaurion are exercised by drivers and
pedestrians alike the Labor Day traffic toll
will be great.
In order to avert all unnecessary traffic ac-
cidents and casualties, traffic officials are
appealing to motorists to drive with the ut
most care. in going to and returning from
their Labor Day outings. By needing these
appeals, many lives may be saved.
According to statistics. Michigan expert
enced 100 fatal, 1901 personal injury, and
1851 property damage traffic accidents in
July. These resulted in SO deaths and 2S46
injuries which was a great increase over
June record of 50 deaths and 22ll injuries.
On Labor Days and similar holiday per-
iods, the traffic accidents on the streets and
highways of Michigan are much greater than
usual. but on this Labor Day let us hope that
the highways may be safe and that no lives
may be sacrificed

What Are You

the world to pity you when you
are in need. Remember the world
is looking for winners. Do not pity
your self.
If You are in poor circumstances
II is up 10 YOU 10 lift yourself out
No one or any number OF persons
can master you unless you give
them power. II you are not getting
things out OF life you think you

Planetary changes bring about
adverse conditions at times. BE
patient enough TO stand still in
your mind Have faith in God and
yourself. You may not be able to
dictate TO Europe or your own
government about WAR: but you
can say PEACE TO your own inner
self.
You are suffering from an in

that YOU are being held back or
