His work has been excellent and he is credited with u large part of the sueces of the schools this year He is one of these young men who takes seriously his work und who gives every otiifce of energy he has te perform the duties of his job.

'We need Byard Smith. The city was splendidly lighted last • evening and the many who came here j for commencement certainly hud a good impression of the lighting sys- | tern. The main part of town was lighted and looked alive.' the business houses with incandescents in the windows were attractive and that's the proper spirit. Surely there is nothing in this movement to create discord. The people do not ask the impossible, do not want a large expenditure of money 'at this time, but do wish that we p*it our best foot forward and make the best appearance we can. If this is done, it is all that can or should or will be asked and we appreciate the efforts now being made along that line. Custodian Stults of the court house' promptly replaced the “dead" bulbs ; in the ornamental posts about the I court house with "live” ones and it added about five hundred per cent, to the appearance of that section oi town last night. That’s the idea and if every one else who can help will do so. it will make a lot of difference. The city can only help to do these I things, the officers are willing and glad to do so when they receive this 1 kind of co-operation. A few new

Can you imagine the Mennonite ■ people of Canada, inoffensive and in- | dustrious farmers as they have been. | resembling in many customs and ■ ideas the Amish of this seciton, liv-1 ' ing in Mexico where bands of rob bers rove at will and take by force , what they see? These bandits have thrived even where owners make defense but where no opposition will be made and no resistance offered it would seem a fertile field of endeavor for those who live by plundering. .Because they refuse to conform with the laws of Canada they have been driven to seek asylum in another land. It would be wiser it appears for the leaders to deal with the government of Canada rather than Villa or Obregon. Colonel Harvey, special representa- j tive of President Harding and am- 1 bassador to the court of St. James I made it very clear in his speech to , the Pilgrim society Thursday night, that it is the desire of the present administration as well as his own to form a partnership with England, uniting the English speaking people in an alliance that could withstand any assault. We have understood that our people do not wish an alliance with any country, we believe they do want an agreement which will stop war. disarmament of sea and land forces and a new and everlasting peace instead of the old fashi ioned plan. Unless Mr. Harvey ex- | ceeded his authority, it is serious, i If he did he should be promptly with- ; drawn from his important position. — Portland business men have decid■ed not to subscribe to any more funds for charity when the money goes out of the county.

feps) hi liv IM The 'Zl'fost Beautiful Car in A Car With Personality There is an air of distinction abottftUfe-New Series “Glenbrook” that you will find in no other moderate priced, five passenger car. That is why it has been adopted by really smart people who will not tolerate the commonplace. Then, remember, it not only looks but acts the thoroughbred. Lnder the hood there is a marvelously efficient motor that accelerates from five to twenty five miles per hour in nine seconds flat. This means giant energy for hills and every test of the highway. Last, but not the “Glenbrook” is a rigid Economist. It extracts every atom of power from a gallon of gasoline and turns up surprising mileage on a set of tires. It is a thrift car with a keen sporting personality—a very hard combination to find. But we ask you to establish these facts for yourself. Take just one ride in the “Glenbrook” and discover what actually lies hidden under the hood. It will prove a revelation, we believe, and a liberal education in strictly modern engineering.
