Discontent as a Developer One heavs the discontented person wish for a lot of things he does not need. Coining down town in the morn ing one La Grande man will whistle and joke, look at the tore windows and remark to himself that it is strange there are so many things offered for sale that he does Hot need, while another ha Grander will come down the same street feeling that the world is wrong, that there is liothing in the stores that suits him, and he will worry because he cannot get some certain thing which docs not hnppcn to be carried in stock. Some people deplore the Grande tfondc climate, while others, like Uncle .Sam lirooks who has-been here for half a century, will smile and tell you it is the best twelve- "fhonth climate to be found in America. . Contentment is the greatest thing to be had, but very few seem to possess it. All of which brings one to an analysis of the matter. Admitting that the contented ier son is the happy person, we must give discontent what is due it namely, that it acts as a developer. '' In summer folks want to go north, to the mountains, or the seashore. In winter they 'arc drawn to the tropics. People living in the cast talk about going west and natives of.'the west? believe the. rainbow's end is in the cast. . People without automobiles "would be" satisfied with a small car. Their more fortunate neighlxirs driving small automobiles hope for a larger car "next year." Every raise in salary suggests another. ,: This insatiable desire and discontent, which is character istic of civilized peoples, is man's only inspiration for un ceasing accomplishment. Without it there would lc iu progress, no scientific research, no inventions, no industrial ...or commercial achievement, no religious or educational up liftment, neither human 'ambitions nor ambition. . 'In the ; t' opics, where a generous nature guarantees existence with . out self-help, there is an intimation of what would result from the end of human desire and discontent. 7 Americans are frequently criticized by their European and Asiatic brothers for dollar-chasing and with placing work before every other, institution of life. In the same breath our foreign visitors inquire into the reasons for our woild domination in industry, commerce and science. j It would now be evident to the foreigner that accomplish-j rnent and progress are the sum total of life to the am bitious American and in this lies the secret of American growth and national superiority. Contentment is Die unpardonable sin on this side of the Atlantic, unless it lie indolent discontent. Income Tax Tips THE OLD HOME TOWN Py Stanley ' No. 8.

' A Canadian judge recently sentenced a bank robber and escaped convict to imprisonment for life, "with IH)' lashes" as an additional penalty; it be administered at the rate of 10 a month for three months. The lash has become virtually obsolete in the United States as a method of punishment for convicted criminals, ttfact which is responsible for irrevelant conclusions that )l? abandonment marks a milestone in our progress from the barbarities of the past.
