OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS

THE PUBLICS BUSINESS The public's business will always be the public's business,

even though the public pavs little attention to that business. And who may the public be, pray tell? Why, the PEOPLE, of course. The men and women of any city, state or nation. They can't all take a part in conducting the details of the business of a city or state. That's why they elect officials to do this.

And when men and women in a community like ours want to know something about what their officials are doing, they have a right to that information. There's no need being afraid to ask for it. .

There's no need, either, to get out on the street corners "chewing the rag" about what such-and-such officials have or have not done; but the manly way, the honorable way and the decent, tactful way is to take such matter up direct with the proper officials. If an honest request is refused, then is the time to take the next step.

You've heard also, that "we mustn't do anything to hurt our town. We know things are pretty bad, but if anything is done, the town will get a bad name. A wrong impression will be given outsiders, etc., etc." Hang the wrong impressions. If a fellow has a boil, he can't keep it under cover forever and ex­pect to get rid of it. Of course, not. The thing to do is to lance it, and squeeze out the bad matter. The same principal applies to a city or state or nation. People do not refrain from cleaning house because they might raise a dust. Certainly not. Just ask the women about it. They'll tell you.

I'rUalP Reuben A. Pratt, U S. marine corps, on duty at the recruit­ing station, 24 Kast Twenty-Uiird street, New York city, is 0 feet 8 Inches in height, while Sergeant Jo­seph Raia, who is shown with him, is hut 5 ftot.SMi liiehess in height, lioth are veteiaiwof the Woikl war, and are excellent re< ruiter*. ,

Now that the year 1921 has arrived, let us all get in line to make it a happy and prosperous year. Cut out the gloom and the grouch. Let the "rusty old hammer" go with the past. Bury it, and forget to erect a "monument" in its memory.

, ' And to those who received new ones for Christmas, or found the ground frozen too hard for a grave—

Turn them over to the police until it thaws, then drop 'em in the lake.

The fish will enjoy the performance—and to him who wants a "hammer"—

The lake is waiting with outstretched arms. o

A live "knocker is worse than— o

A "dead" booster. Ch- -r up

PERHAPS YOU ARE, TOO

A Friend of mine was worn out running around trying to buy a particular something-or-other.

Hours had been spent, al­so strength and temper, and the desired article had not been found. I asked if a try had been made at such and such a store.

The reply was!: "No, of course not, they don't car­ry such things."

I disagreed. We went to­gether and found what was wanted.

My Friend said: "How did you know?"

"Easy," I replied. "They advertised t h e m l a s t week."

Without seeing the joke, she said: "I never have time to read advertise­ments. I'm too busy."

Perhaps you are, too. Many people are too busy to take time to save time, trouble and money. They buy by chance—and hard work.

READING ADVERTISEMENTS IS MORE THAN A TIME-SAVER; ITS A GOOD, SAFE INVESTMENT IN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BEST THINGS THE MARKET OFFERS YOU.
