Saturday Night Thoughts SAY SOMETHING GOOD i A OOOD CANDIDATE. I A. H. POWERS hns announced that ho will again ho u can didate for school director nt tho'mcetlng to ho held next Monday. So far ho nppears to bo tlio only cnndldnto. Mr. Powers has served several years on tho school board and has mado an excellent oftlrlnl. ,11' is not only thoroughly competent for tho position, but moreover is now well acquainted with nil of the school work nnd tho voter can scarcely do better than to elect Mr. Powers again. IT'S A IlKTTKIt WOULD. THOUGH nations nro nt war nnd following policies that tunko for cruelty, though govern ments nnd nrmles are accused of In human conduct that carries us back to tho dark ages, yet It will hardly bo denied that ho far iih Individuals nro concerned, tho milk of human kindness runs more frcoly than it did n century ago. Now hero is Hint reflected moro thnn In tho tono of tho press of tho country. With only an oxcoptlon hero nnd thoro not often now will n nowspapor bo guilty of giving pain because it has tho power to do so. It Is only nu occasional ucwspnpor Hint Is knowingly cruel nnd usually It Is tho one with least standing and lenst charactar In tho community. It Is n good sign, and whllo mil lions tear nt each other's throats across tho water, that is by govorn montnl decrco nnd does not repre sent tho sentiments of tho Individ uals who, wo may bo sure, would prefer to bo tilling tho soil or toll lug In tho shop thnn pursuing tho business of killing their follow men. Despite tho great war with all Its cruelties, tho world Is distinctly n better world, tho great mnjorlty of pooplo preferring to do dcods of ktiiduesH that will let u llttlo sun shine Into the llfes ot their follows. THE I'UTTEUEIt Whllo other men are rushln round, Excited ez kin be, A-chasIn' after wealth or fame, Or fashion's flllergrco I Jest walk out around tho farm With slow and stlddy strolje; I don't lot nothln' worry mo, Hut putter round an' smoke. Whllo others chase fur frozen poles Ten thousan' miles nwny, In resky ships, or big balloons That sail nway to stay, I shamblo off an' hunt fur cows, Or mend a fenco thct's broke; I think I hev a better tlmo To putter round an' smoke. Whllo other folks arc rldin' through Tho country ronds llko mad, In nutomoblles knockln' out What little senso they had, I poke along with "Jerry" 'n "Jim," Who look woll In tho yoke; I'm snfo an' sound, nnd healthier To putter round an' smoke. Exchnngo Thoro nro special bargains In wnr supplies in Europo ovory day now. Wnr ships nro going down and some of the Dardanelles forts hnvo been reduced. If a Coos Hay man sees you com ing out of a saloon onco a wcok ho will toll other pcoplo thnt ho sees you coming out of saloons fifty times a day. CL'UUY'S RECORD A Coos Hay man will ask you to tell him tho oxnet truth about him self. Then If you tell it ho will call you a liar and want to fight. Somo Coos liny pcoplo seem to get up at G o'clock In tho morning so thoy will hnvo moro tlmo to yawn during tho day. QUESTION l-'Olt THE DAY What has become of tho old fash ioned man who wore a crocheted cravat? A majority of tho "tightwads" nro recruited from tho ranks of those who hnvo maunged to accu mulate about twenty thousand dol lars, or who eventually will man age to do so. Pick out' the men you like the least and watch them for awhile , , They never have a kindly word; they never waste a smile; They criticize their fellow-men at every chance they get. They never find a human quite to suit their fancy yet From them you quickly turn away when they are pointed out, From them you never learn a thing that you should know about,' When someone knocks a brother, pass around the lov ing cup, Say something good about him if you have to make it up. The eyes that peek and peer to find the worst a brother holds, The tongue that speaks in bitterness, that frets and fumes and scolds. The hands that bruise the fallen, though their strength was made to raise, The weaklings who have stumbled at the parting of the ways, Have no place in this world's work, and "they know what to do;" They simply make the greater work for the wiser ones like you; And when they scourge the victim, pass around the lov ing cup, Say something good about him, if you have to make itupl T IS something difficult for young!

The man who lucks liking for the rolling emerald hills around Coos Hay and tho frngrnnco of tho Juno woods generally has u twist or an atrophy In his make up. Shakespeare might say of him what he said of another sort: "Tho man that hath no music In his soul In fit for treasons, spoils nnd stratugeniB." Tho splendid weather on Coos Hay the past week has been equal to tho cllmuto of Italy at Its best and makes So'ithern California a poor second. The person who hns been unnblo to be out of doors nnd onjoy It Is deep ly to bo pitied.

Many of us have an Idea Hint n freo country would ho ono In which wo could do us wo plcaso and forco other pcoplo to do as wo please. Since the success of the North Rend exhibit there is somo talk of a "Rotter Hables" Show for Marsh field.

Tho sooner young people reallzo this nnd accept It philosophically, and begin to hus tle In tho position In life in which thoy happen to find thomsolvcs, tho sooner they will get started on tho too old to euro anything about It. A certain Coos liny girl who Is over .'17 and unmnrrled, always says to a bride: "I hope you will bo as happy, my dear, as I hnvo been." A Coos Hay girl with a dlmplo will laugh lit anything a man nays. Murrlago Is tho monotony that re lieves tho excitement of life. Some Coos liny men spend money ns If thoy can afford It bccniiHO thoy can't. 4 Many a Coos Ray man wastes his time telling other people not to wiiHte theirs. Some Coos Hay men spend hnlf1 kill time nnd tho other hnlf trying to snvo It. IN THE report of tho finances of tho varloim counties of the state Curry county makes a showing which Is quite romarknblo In sever al ways and which reflects much credit upon the' territory. Tho to tal nmount of disbursements made by tho county during tho year 191 I was ?SO,903. No money wnB expend ed for county veterlnnrlnn, fruit or stock Inspector, for Juvonllo courts, for county fairs, for ta rebates, for noalor of weights and measures or Tor advertising. It only cost tho coun ty f35.CS to maintain the office of coroner nnd pay for holding Inquests nnd tho health department cost only JUG for tho year. It only cost lli. 30 to look after the Insane of the rtiititf n.l (IA nt.... ..II i1...t ....... v" ' """ '" "" " """ ""their lives trvlnir to lief and enre of the poor of tho coun ty for the year cost $1.07(!' which means and average of 33c for each person to hear during tho year to rare of tho poor. During the year only $330 wns paid out far widow's ponslons. That tho county must be pretty clear of crime Is Indicated by tho fact that Jails cost tho county only J ISO for tho ontlro year whllo election cobt ten times that amount. Evidently politics take a much more Important place In the county thnn crime. Whon It Is considered thnt G5 por cent of tho area of Curry county is within tho National forest ro sorvo and thnt the population Is scat tered nnd small compared to the area U, (s highly to tho credit of the coun ty thnt practically ono half of all the money expended hy tho county wont for roads nnd highway purposes.
