Show THE CITIZEN STOP NAGGING. AUNT HET says Wives wouldnt be unhappy if they could be satisfied with the kind of husbands they deserve. Aunt Het expounds many truths and this is one of the greatest she has ever hit upon. Husbands should also be included in this category. This country has about 75,000 persons committed every year to institutions for treatment of mental afflictions, either permanently or temporarily. The major portion of these individuals could probably have escaped the affliction if they had learned to control their tempers, to quit worrying, fretting and nagging. There is nothing worse than to live with a person of this disposition. Nagging has been the cause of a great many divorces in the past. Many people do not try to get along. They expect the other fellow to do all the giving. They are always willing to take everything. Marriage to be happy must be a fifty-fift- y proposition. When it isnt there is no lasting happiness. Inconsideration and ingratitude follow a close second. These traits are not singular to married life either. Many children are inconsiderate of their parents and ungrateful to them. Many parents, on the other hand, do not consider their children as they should, constantly nag them and make their home life unpleasant. When these characteristics are allowed to take root in a home happiness flies out of the window very quickly. There is too much dissatisfaction in the world today. We are living too fast. Everybody is trying to keep up with the other fellow, whether it is feasible for him to do so or not. If folks would learn to make the best of what they have, be appreciative of their blessings and try to see how much better off they are than the other fellow instead of constantly envying him, and constantly wishing for what they havent got, many of the roubles in the world would be solved, and greater happiness would ensue. We all have our faults, but when a woman has a husband who is industrious, a good provider, good to the children, and above all morally clean, she should try to overlook his petty faults. When a husband has a good wife, who makes his home as comfortable for him as their means allow, he should be grateful for the woman God has given him and try to overlook her shortcomings. The chances are that whatever faults exist on either side were present before marriage, but blindness obliterated them. It would be better for many people in this world if they were less blind before marriage and more blind after. HOOVERS PLAN DURING MR. HOOVERS tenure of office as a member of the Cabinet he has persistently endeavored to promote commercial relations between the Americans. He was limited in his efforts as Commerce Secretary to the economic features of the problem. As president he is evidently intent on expanding the policy he outlined in his address of acceptance, to direct economic progress in support of moral and spiritual progress. While this was intended for the United States, he evidently proposes to include all the Americas. The next president makes it rather clear that he is ambitious to present an front in international affairs in the future. The good-wi- ll trip has a deep practical purpose behind it. All-Amer- Dr. Elwood Mead, Federal Commissioner of Reclamation, has asked the Association of Western States Engineers to seek some remedy for the high divorce rate among homestead families. In the early days women accepted the hardships It is reassuring to note the unani- mity of approval in the American press, regardless of politics, of President Hoovers plan to visit the on a countries of Latin-Amerigood will tour before his inauguration. To that general approval we respectfully add our portion. between the United Relations have been States and Latin-Ameristeadily improving, during the past few years, despite the efforts of European interests and American to make the situation otherwise. The proof of this is not to be found in mere words, but in the fact is that our trade with steadily increasing. Here is the real measure of international feeling. Nations which are gradually becoming better customers of each other are bound to become better friends. The business man always has a friendlier feeling for his own customers than those of his competitor. That is only human nature, Now the principal difficulty between Uncle Sam and the nations to the south has been a lack of mutual understanding. Where there has been misunderstanding of motives there has been friction.

Present-da- y tlements are seeking relief from the unpleasantness of their lives by recourse to the divorce courts. And why shouldn't they? when a woman has to marry or become an object of charity in the home and be called an old maid. Women can make their own way in the world today and they are not accepting any kind of an offer simply to get married. Why should a woman go out in some isolated part of the country and rear a family under all kinds of hardships, miles away from a doctor perhaps, and where her children cannot have the advantages to which she knows they are entitled? Why should a woman put up with all the drudgery and loneliness of the isolated homestead when she can enjoy the conveniences of the small town or the city? The solution to the problem is to make the homesteaders homes more comfortable. Take some of the modem conveniences of the day to the isolated homestead districts and it will not be hard to find women who will live on the farm. Farm life is the ideal life if living conditions are what they should be. When the right kind of inducements are offered the pioneer spirit will return in the American women. PEDDLERS of marijuana and other narcotic drugs should be rounded'hp and placed behind the bars until such time when some one will come forth and vouch for their future lawful occupation. Selling narcotics is one of the most hellish crimes in our midst and offenders should be severely dealt with. There should be no mercy in such cases, for the offenders have no mercy upon their poor and distracted victims. taking.
