EDITORIAL A DEFINITE LIFT] WORK. ( Thousands of lives have been i saved from ruin by a definite work In life; others have been wrecked for want of it. . Boys and girls should choose so» themselves a life work they will enjoy. Nothing will prepare them better for the coming years than a good wisely chosen work, whether for wages or for the love of doing it. They should be proud of the gifts which enable them to win their own way when their efforts have straightened themselves to any task they may undertake. Their time Is not wasted. There is always something with which to fill up the spare hours of a person who has an alm in life. "Our time,” said Sir Walter Scott, "is like our money. When we chonge a dollar, our dimes escape as a thing of small acconut; when we break a day by idleness in the morning, the rest of the hours lose their importance in our eyes." Idle hours ar» temptations, but idle years are worse. ' The~?£al wages of good work rr» not made at a mint. YOI MIGHT MEET A FOOL. On a road at the foot of thw Rockies is a sign that reads, "Danger, Sharp Curve -—You might meet a Fool.’’ Such a sign is calculated to make a driver sit up and take notice. The latter sees at almost every sharp turn a notice to proceed with caution, or to blow his horn and comes to be little impressed by them. He has confidence in his ability to avoid running into another car. But if there is a fool in the other car the efforts of the most skillful driver to escape l mav be fu ’ tile. There would be tar fewer auto- । mobile mishaps if every drbet would bear constantly in mind the possibility that there may he a fool ahead, not only on sharp curves, but on stretches of straight road If iunwise to assume that each car on the highway Is in charge of an ex perienced driver who knows the tratlic rules and will obey them. You may think that inn innch as ycu are keeping on your side of the road there is no danger In running your car at a high rate of speed. But you might meet a fool who will not stick to his side of the road THE NEWCOMERS IMI’RESSIOV Many visitors to a town get their first impression from the appear- ! ance of the buildings around the railroad station. If those structures are not attractive, the visitor mav get a wrong conception which ts difficult to remove It is a fine thing when the owners of property near the railroad station realize that they' are in a sense “on parade," and that the conditions existing on their property are subjected to the close scrutiny ( of a great many people. If they can brighten up .and improve their , property in cases where it needs at- j tention. they will not merly make it more valuable, but they will accomplish a stroke for the reputation o, ' their home community. Their townspeople will appreciate whatever they do to make the city’s front door look like the entrance to a homey and wide awake advancing communitv. — — »-< - State Legislature is in session. Few new laws are needed, but Tax Reduction and Tax Equalization are Essential for Farming, Industries and business.

Tmveling in an airship may’ be construed as high living, but the space is too restricted for the accompanying high roiling. POTATO CREEK FOLKS HE PLANTED A TREE By Edgar A. Houser. He planted a tree and well he knew. He would fie gone, when large it grew. Looking I saw In his kindly face, A love for those, that would take his place, A thought for those, that would follow him. When he had entered the shadows dim; He had a vision I could not see. When he planted that tree. He planted a tree, in years to come. The feathered chorus, and busy hum Os the bee, the incense of the flowers The cooling shade of its leafy bowers. Branches that almost reach the sKy, Kissing the breeze as it wafted by. The love, the beauty, and ecstasy, When he planted that tree. He planted a tree in the fertile soil \ place to rest from work a ' toil, A place to rest from a weary lead, A friend to man at the side of the road, \ haven to all that passed that way. The boisterious youth and matron gay; These are the visions he could see, । When he planted that tree.
