"RECONSTRUCTION."
We understand that so.no o *e 'has
eallccl scaie sort of meeting in Coluinh:?.
to consider some plans of "'reconstruction''
for the people, and that
some 300 or 400 "prominent" citizens
have been invited to attend and discuss
the problems and to devise ways
and means of reconstructing the
ronntrv.
It may be all right to be holding
meetings and appointing committees
and putting on drives and organizing
and supervising, but it seems to us
; that this sort of thing has done aboul
all the good it can accomplish, if il
ever has accomplished any good al
all. There is already entirely toe
much supervision and too many supervisors
and too many commissions anc
these can accomplish nothing.
There are at present just twe
pressing needs and just two things
that will go further toward "recon
structing" than anything else that wc
can think of, and they are, first, foi
more people to go to work, and ther
to be less extravagant. Nobod\
wants to work now and nobody wil
^vork.
If you come to town you will find
people walking up and down the
streets doing nothing or ridina
around in automobiles. If you go to
. the country you find the roads streaming
with cars crowded "with people
riding about. If you travel on the
cars you find them crowded with peo
pie going somewhere. Nobody working.
The cry is for more wages and less
hours. There is unrest everywhere.
No question about that, but the
solution for it is not in holding conventions
and discussing the problem.
We fail to see the blessings that we
have, and are paying too much attention
to things that are disturbing and
unpleasant. Mr. Willys of the Overland
Automobile company is quoted
as saying in discussing these matters:
"The chief menace of bolshevism
and other 'isms' is their perverted
economics." He goes on to say: "If
they could be dropped from the public
eye, and in their place could be
taught the sound doctrine that dollars
won't buy bread unless somebody
bakes it, these menacing 'isms1
would wither and die through sheei
lack of sustenance." And he mighl
have added that you can't bake breac
unless some one plants the wheat anc
the corn and tills the soil and harvests
the grain when it is ripe, and
some one else runs the mill thai
grinds the grain into flour and meal
The foundation of the whole thin?
and back of the bread is the man whc
plants and reaps and tills the soil,
and that means that if the world is
to -be fed and clothed there must be
more work and real work, and when
-n- 1 i. i:?? fU.
ine people cuine tu recuse mat, mc
problem is solved, and unless more
people go to work somebody is goiftg
hungry and not well clothed. That
is the secret of the whole matter.
GRADE CROSSINGS GONE.
In this age we do not make an effort
even to have the paper typographically
correct, because if we
worried about that it would be the
same as to worrv because the legs ol
the dumk are short and the legs of
the crane are long, and we can
neither make the one long nor the
other short. So if a few small errors
creep in, or rush in, we let it go anc
take it for granted that the readei
knows better and knows that we
know how, and there you are.
Why even the good old News anc
Courier that at one time was as neai
tvDosraphically and grammatical^
correct as any newspaper publish2c
in this section of the world, or an>
other section for that matter, now
comes to us so crowded with errors
ihat we conclude th^ proof rodder is
on strike. It ;ust fan'i be helped it

jlme. j
| We were just wondering1 how the
i linotype mind was operating when
r it made "suit" when we tried to .
writ "out," but when we remember
* i what an awful hand we write we do
i not wonder. Truth is we suspect if
_ j the ability to write is the standard of
; literacy then we would have to be
I > i _ x :nr* * *-e .
_ ; ciassea among ine most aau-:uvc ui;
j the species. j
_ i At any rate in the little article we
^ ! \\Tote about the railroad crossings
$>;and other things we intended and so
^: wrote the head that it should read
g> i "Crossings Out," and the linotype
made it in print to read "Crossings
l Suit," just why we do not know, and
j>' yet the crossings now suit us fine,
? because they are no more, unless you :
; just want to cross the railroad in going
from here to Prosperity and on '
;> I to Little Mountain, so really it is
fm<;<5m?rs suit, because
?> VV WMJ
;> if you want to cross the railroad all '
:> right, go along that way and cross it
> Feveri or eight times before you reach
> Prosperity, and if you don't want to
> cross the railroad why then take the
> new road and you don't have to cross.'
, so the crossings do suit, all right.
But the main thing that mr.kes us
glad is that the road, the puMic roat1.
has been located so that it l: o" ? :?

not have to cross the C. X. & L at
nil, but you do cro?s th? Sou hevn
just r.s you approach the town ar?l
just as you leave the town on the
other side. Something we have been
pleading for lo these many years.
We are not writing this to correct
an error in the head of the former
; article, but to have an excuse to say
again that we are so much pleased to ,
' have our dream of the removal of;
_ these deadly railroad crossings for
[ which we have been pleading so long,
' to be a reality. There are somejpeo"
pie, as there always has been and
always will be, who say mat ceruuu
| officials have not done anything, and
, no doubt there are some who are
saying this verv thing about Super[
visor Sample, -?ut if he had done
nothing else during his four years of
service than to remove the various
railroad crossings that he has the people
should be glad, and that is a

^ for the years to come and there
is no tellrng the good he ^has accomI
plished and the lives he has been instrumental
in saving by this one act
' alone. Every grade crossing should
' be removed, and we had some mighty
1 dangerous ones, and most of them are
now no more, thanks to Supervisor
Sample and his administration. j

Talking about banks * and bank '
statements we desire to direct your
attention to two statements of banks <
printed in this issue, the Peoples ;
National Bank of Prosperity and the?
Bank of Pomaria. ; Both have ^ small
capital stock, the Peoples National
with $25,000 and the Bank of <
Pnwnrin with S15.000. Neither one 1
owes a dollar and both have plenty '
of money in their vaults and with
other banks. The Peoples National 1
: has total loans of nearly $400,000 j
and deposits of nearly a half million.!,
T)ie total of the statement is over
j $^00,000, a gain since the last report
'on December 31 of over a hundred
1 thousand dollars. This bank is grow-,
irif* and President Wheeler'is one of j
?-o ? ?
the best bankers in this section of the '
country. The Peoples National is
sure walking about and the exercise
: is good. i
I. The Bank of Pomaria shows a total i
I of $250,000 and a gain since the last j
report December 31 of $50,000, total!
' loans of over a hundred thousand dol;
lars and deposits of $227,000. And
does not owe a dollar. Dr. Z. T.
r Pinner is the president but John C.
? Aull is the active man in the bank
? and in fact is doing all the work of
! cashier and teller and bookkeeper and
f loan man, and he is on the job.
II The fact is all the banks oi the
! j
' county are prospering but these two
: statements so impressed us as we read '
" the proof for publication that we
; could not help commending them.
! The Farmers Bank of Chappells, the
! statement of which appeared in the
| Tuesday paper, is also making good,
as this statement shewed.
! The three banks of the city all ;
i showed a good statement and each is
> running around the million and a half
; mark, the Commercial and the Na:
tional going a little over and the
i Commercial showing no money bor>
rowed. The National has a capital of
5 $100,000 and the Commercial only
[ $50,000. The Commercial has loaned
* a little over a million and has a de^
posit of a million and a half. The
National has deposits of a little
1 over a million and a quarter and
nearly a mllion loaned.
r The Exchaige bark has a caoitcl of
! $100,000 md.deposhs of a million

How about that traffic ordinance?
Is it meant to be enforced or is it to
be another dead letter law on the
books? We do not think it should be
so strictly enforced until the people
are given notice that they must not
forget its provisions, but after that
is done then if the rules ai^ to be
worth anything they must be followaA

believe the disposition of the drivers j
is to observe the law, but if flagrant
violations are permitted then those
who are trying to observe the rules
will get careless also and no one will
pay any attention to the law, as has
too often been the case with regulations
like these in this ordinance. Let
every one cooperate to obey the traffic
rules and it will be well.
