THE FARMERS' DAY.
Next :Saturlay is Union (.'untiy's Manners 'D;iy
juul at the city park in La (Irande will he held a picnic an.
celeliration wit li an appropriate program. A discussion
til' tilings pertaining to tins farm life of today will lc in
dulged in and soinie good ideas arc hound lo ho put iVjrth.
Jt is to be a meeting ot the rarmcrs I nwui, all
urantres and 'Other tanners' oruanizatams ol tne coun
ty. A general invitation lias lieen extended the puhlic am
merchants will join in the picnic at Ihe park.
There are nlentv of iirohloms for the farmers lo talk
aboiut. J f there ever was a time in America when a farun
lias a right lo doubt almost everything from the Statue of
Liberty to the Declaration ol .Independence it is now. II
1 here ever was a t line when In Farmer realizes that neariv
all other lines of business have been organizing for I rattle
along business lines; while lxjjias been using all of his t imc
to produce,' something to eat, il is now. II there ever was
1 a time when America must rehabilitate the farm and
make the industry more attractive, it is now.
Whether this should be done by subsidization, by gov
ernment control or by straight out supply and demand, we
would like mir slatcsinicn in Washington to tell us. The
Ihing we know is Unit something should be done just
'how it should be done vye o not know.
Attend the picnic at the ciUy park Saturday and hear
the leading farmers talk the matter over maybe you can
learn something about a question that is of vital ini
portanee to Ihe world. ;

This Business Is
Being Built on Confidence
Vou hear lots of talk by 'some stores, about jrnoils bolus sold "l
"about cost," "fifty dollar garments for half' and the like; you nilftht
easily bo) led to believe that business Is run on the charitable institution
plan. .Maybe! Hut let it be known now that tlnJ N. K. West & Co. store
operates Its business for profit by sollinjr tho ItK-ST GOODS ol.taiiiable
at A FAIR PRICK and thitt means good quality, stylo and reliability.
When this store announces a sale it is a' real aalo tlto ipublic knows
and responds to the occasion. This is confidence because this business
is operated in a, common sense, businesslike way, 1 the time.

Of all Ihe 1 ill in idiots of the age, the cut-out idiot is
the worst. This inibecilic specimen of the human family
may have bought or borrowed an automobile; he comes up
town and for fear he will be overlooked he kicks open the
cut-out. and chugs down Adams avenue; before entering
the intersection he plunges his No. 10 shoe on the accel
erator and then he listens with pride to the shooting ex
haust which resembles a China New Year celebrat ion. 1
Later he brings his girl lo the dance. After the ball
is over he lifts his lady love into his bus1 and then he n.u-t
make a noise, sw open goes the cut-out ami lit1 rambles
around the city clanging and snapping away.

"Xo motor vehicle shall be operated with offensive
