Whenever you hear a towr ken well, of you may. know tits citizens are on the same as its reputation. a dog hollers it makes a n And that is about'al: y of some people wher _jh o00their mouths. l of this hue and cry e latest band of black Millionaires who dance ot yelp when they have he fiddler. 'tween dying gloriously or field of battle and perishing miserably in the pursuit of peace we infinitely prefer to do neith er. We have some deep rooted cor victions on what this country ought or ought not to do. Bu they are ours and we are goin to keep them. Government authorities art talking of prosecuting the foo< boosting combine. And that we presume, will result in the usual manner-another boost; With foreign governments tal ing a hand in the -peace" nego tiations between the UniteC States and Mexico something may be accomplished even yet. When the man with a big gut speaks the little fellow listens t< what he has to say. It transpires, as expected, tha ~every time Carranza's "neace commissioners open their mouth to speak they must first secur the approval of Carranza before hey--speak. And Americar oommissioner5 are expected t< accomplsh results with a bunci e that. eally, now, we are just pin ing for an opportunity to giv< you the latest authentic news from the European front. Bu since none of it is authentic we leave you to group the multitud inous lhes to suit your own pun poses.

But contri btons in large chunks should be extracted from those who art piling up millions in wealti from war orders. The poor mar has his own mouths to feed. THE BI.ACKMAI.ERS, -The spectacular arrest of a gang of blackmailers who have been praying upon rich men and women of the meti-opoltian cities furnishes us new food- for b~touht-and skepticism. When the arrests were made n Chicago a few days ago i1 as heralded broadcast thai milonaire men and women had been caught in compromismg~ positions. It was even said thai nany social families of promi. nence would be rocked to theii prosecutors gleefully announced that no one caught in the net o~ blackmailers would be shielded that everything would be laid are to the world.. The public gasped with anti cipation, and the victims shiver .ed with apprehension. And then an order suddenlj came out of Washington direct ilg that the names of the victima be kept secret. Money, money, money !ThE overpowering influence of mon If poor men and women had ~.-been caught in the net of expos -ure no consideration would have been vouchsafed then, no mercy Swhould have been shown them. ~'The searchlight of publicity ~'ould have been turned on tC '-he full. 7But not so with the socially prominent, not so with''those ol - he swollen bank accounts.

Bickering, backbiting and lack harmony have wrecked more community prospects than we care to enumerate. They are the granite upon which many L bright commercial future has been smashed to nothingness. They are the death knell of prosperity in any town. And yet wu see reputable and high standing and well meaning business men continually taking petitors in the coninercial field. We see them throwing out in nuedoes in the hope of eurtail ing the trade of their rivals We see them casting veiled refictions on the business integrity of other firms who may perchance be more snccessful than they are. It doesn't pay either the man, his rival, or the commercial life of the conmunity upon which we all must depend. Many business tuen have no thought of the far reaching effect of their inconsiderate words to the detriment of others, but the disastrous effect is felt on all hands. It creates a spirit of dis cord in the community, destroys the confidence of one in another, and tirevents that cohesion of purpose by which weaccowplil the greater achievements of life. We would like to see every man speak well of his business associates. We would like to see them all laboring iu harmony in a commercial union for the ad vancement of this town and :his community. We would like to see them all pulling together in order that the load may be lighther for each. We have everything to gain by such a unity of purpose. WE We have nothing whatever tc lose. Are you for it? WEY ADVERTISING PAYS. Everybody reads the ads and everybody remembers what they j read. Mrs. Jones remarks to Mrs. Sr th that she simply must go to the store and get a new dress pattern, or a winter coat, or pos sibly a new hat. Mrs. Smith has read of the latest creations at some store and immediately springs her knowledge upon Mrs. Jones, who simply can't resist the temptation to go and see for herself. Once there she generally buys. Farmer Hankinson needs a new harness, or a plow, or some other implement for progressive farming. His neighbor has read the up to date ad of the imple. ment house in the local paper and incidentally mentions that So-and-So carries a good ar ticle which he is advertising quite heavily. This excites Farmer Hankinson's curiosity and he "just drops in to see it.' He, too. often ends with a buy. The woman's club, or the sew ing circle, or the pink tea ladies get together and spend the af ternoon or evening iu gathering up stray bits of information. Anything that has attracted the eye of any member comes in for discussion, and nothing is more dear to their tiearts than those delightful things that were ad vertised in the last issue of the paper. Of course they all want to know about them, and then they must see them, and in the end they buy them, Bill Doolittle wants a new overcoat, and the well written overcoat ad never gets by him. He drops in and looks over the coats of which the merchant has spoken so glowingly. They are as represented, and he buys. Yes, they all read the ads, and they talk about the goods they read about, and they buy when they are sufficiently interested to talk about them. Of course advertising pays. Everybody knows it pays. Many people would like to be good if they did not miss so much fun in the being. When you think y ou have reached the point of human per fection it is time to back up and take a fresh start.
