The error of permitting . government to: regiment and restrict business and run it into _the ground, is far more widely recognized than few years ago. +. The sound old theory that the shoemaker should stick to his last—that politicians are no more competent to operate business than an actor is compete surgeon is competent to play Then, too, as recent elections proved, Americans are weary es to cure economic and social Generally ‘is evidenced new awareness that this nation must work its way out—not bills in earned dollars and not mental I.

LITTLE MAN. C LS. Zz SS ZW juliet» HIGHEST, WAGES AND HIGHEST. LIVING STANDARD IN THE WORLD. = et Be = ROTARY HEARS ACCOUNT OF HOW HOLIDAYS BEGAN The Rev. H. Thomas’ Pateman, rector of Trinity Episcopal church entertained the Rotary club at luncheon yesterday with an account of the origin of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays and of some of the superstitions and customs associated with them from remote antiquity, until, and even including, modern times. The Romans of the pre-Christian era celebrated a feast to the sun. Other nations. and races also had days set aside to honor special gods, some of which fell upon date of the Nativity. The first observance of the anniversary of the birth of Christ of which there is a record, occurred in Rome in the fourth centtry. ‘So far as Thanksgiving is concerned that is of probably even. older.origin than the New Year and Christmas. origins. In many nations and among many races, since human events were recorded the conclpsion of the harvest season has been observed by feasting, drinking and the dancing, often accompanied by religious observances. The holiday broke the routine of every “day work and long before Christianity was born, people celebrated in one way oranother the bounty of the good earth. THEFT OF HAY FOLLOWED BY CALF KILLING Yesterday Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen and Game Warden Earl Hiscox went to the Buck Cole ranch in the Buena Vista district near Rough and Ready to investigate the killing of a‘ calf.

Thieves allegedly stole 60 bales of hay from the Cole ranch recently and the hay was identified by the cattleman. “ Mrs. Harold Deeter has just received a message that her ae Mrs. H. D.
