CHERRY Member Editor and Publisher CAN WE STAND THE PRESSURE OF PROSPERITY? Money in the average mans pocket burns its way out. Pros- perity too often brings discontent. As with the individual, so it is with states and nations. People will struggle against adversity, and be drawn closer together by is removhardships. But when the necessity for ed, dissatisfaction, envy, jealousy and agitation creep in. That is the greatest danger our country faces today. We have been unusually prosperous. We have had more money than the necessities of life required. The cure-al- l doctor" with his caldron of steaming political theories offers us a remedy for our real imaginary problems. Lik the magician who can produce a bowl of gold fish out of a silk hat, he offers us laws to help this class or that class, at the expense of another class. But when the curtain goes down on his act, he has our tax money, and we have had the pleasure of seeing him do his political tricks. Our country is ripe for the "cure-al- l doctors." They can show us what is wrong with our present prosperity, and how by adopting their courses of treatment we can put two dollars in our pocket where we now have one, and better yet, make "the other fellow pay the bill. We should be thankful for the prosperity which is now ours. The dog with the bone that saw his shadow in the water and tried to grab the bone of the other dog, and lost the one he had. We not only have a bone but a good juicy steak in our teeth today. Our banks are full of money, our workmen are the highest paid on earth, most of our farm crops are bringing good prices, transportation is above normal, building is at record figures, power development has broken all records, our homes are filled with electric lights, telephones, radios, autompbiles and every modern convenience under the sun. As a nation, can we stand prosperity, or will we allow ourselves. to be duped by the cure-all- s who would offer visionary theories in trade for proven advantages which we now enjoy?

Cashiers USE COMMON HORSE SENSE INSTEAD OF A SHOVEL Ik In the campaign of education to prevent forest fires, a sugd gestion is made that campers and picnickers carry with them shovels to be used in smothering camp fires with earth, "long-handle- says the Seattle Times. . A better suggestion would be for each camper or picnicker to into the fire hazard zones. A :arry a little with and common sense longcamping party plentifully supplied headedness will not need other materials with which to cope with he remains of a sensible fire. Prevent fires through moderate, reasonable use of the forests. Protect the right to renew your youth by occasional contact with nature, unhampered by other men, and there will be no need for carrying curative weapons into the forests. It is the unthinking, boastful fool who misuses the privileges :f enjoying nature at her best, and sb'cfT individuals are a menace wherever they are to be found. They do not have to go camping to demonstrate it. Walla Walla, Washington, Union. "long-headedne- u ss BREAKFAST FOODS THE HEALTHY KIND And we handle the Best Flout! and Feeds.

VOTING IS OUTLAWED A western state just published a book of its election laws and regulations. It takes 295 pages of fine print, which few ever read There are so many laws and regulations governing registration and voting that half the citizens do not know whether they are entitled to go to the polls or not, or whether they can vote after thej get there. Result, fewer and fewer people take part in elections. In many precincts almost no one votes but the election off i cers, the judges and clerks; and the cost of elections has run up as high as a dollar per ballot cast and counted. Some of the east ern states have even more voluminous laws and regulations. Manhood and womanhood suffrage has become a thing of the past, and legislatures are trying to hold fewer elections, and hold all general and local elections on the same day. Multiplicity of lawmaking and regulations tends to break down popular government. 4 4 4 The Fair Mercantile Co. Salina's Busy Store. - 4- - 4;. '2 !

One boy, Neil Bodey, earned $2,280. The girls earned an average of $71.05, with 48 girls collecting $8,454.60; and Alma Lorenz earned $500. The nature of the jobs indicates that the present generation is not drifting too far into ' white-colla- r preference. Almost every industry, however hard or was represented. Education should make a man better qualified for citizenship, for enjoyment, for trust, because of his better balance and his wider vision; it should not take from' him the basic principles of faithfulness to his job, whatever it is. o hand-soilin- hard-surface- load-carryin- ' "The Quality Store ' i TK J High Quality Goods WORK SHIRTS ANb JUMPERS Ice?

Standards of living cannot be raised nor industrial progress made in; the mud. But we are rapidly approaching the time when the linear measurement of our roads will not be as important as width and g capacity. If every state in the Union was honeycombed with paved highways, it would be a number of years before we would acutely feel the need for increased road width. But all states are not, nor is there any immediate prospect of their reaching that point. This results in forcing the constantly increasing motor traffic on tot the existing stretches of pavement, with congestion, delay, accidents and rapid highway depreciation as a result. Lets begin to make our roads wider and heavier. ' B. SHOP - g, LETS BEGIN TO MAKE OUR ROADS WIDER More than 40,000 miles of highways will be paved this year, after which the mileage of roads in the United States will be in excess of 500,000.
