IMI'ltOVIII) IMUKWAYM It Is often tho sotting of u Juwel that attracts utteiitlou to Its beauty. Thu surroundings of a houxo often mnko u dwelllui; homullku nud In viting when tlio Interior arrangement Is of but passing beuuty. Ho it Is with u city. It may bo prosperous, It may havo cltlxonu of unorgy uud Intelligence who do things, but If It Is not marked by homullku dwolllngs, surrounded by woll kopl lawns and pretty streets, then that city Is not being credited with Its truo worth and Is losing muuy of tho beuoflts to which Its euorgy In securing moro muterlul things entitles It. Ontario has tho material nilvaiit ugos. It bus tho business merit of u larger city, It has tho field In which that business can grow thru tho united offorts of Its business men. Ontario is now securing ory good streets, they tiro u comfort to travel ovor, but they loso half tholr vuluo thru tho fact that they aro nut given tho proper sotting. Notstrutchori, or few ut least, of green parkways lino tho utreots, tho bright glare of tho hot sun of summer finds fow trees to cballeugu Its attack upon tho heudH of passing cltizuiis.

If everyone would take tho proper dogreo of prldo the object would bo accomplished What tho City Council can do to aid this Is limited pructlcully speak ing to providing curbing along thu streets bo that partus a) b can ho graded and maintained. That Is al most an ossentlut to tho formation of parkways, tho thoy can bo built without oven curbing. Then of course tho question of watering tho grutm plots must bo set tled, and that can only bo settled pormuuuiitly by tho City Courcll some tlmo In thu future for conditions uro not right now fur undertaking a work of that kind, and thu temporary ar rnngomout with tlio Warmsprings District Is working satisfactorily now and may prove to bo tho solution for youru to tome. Dcforo Ontario proceeds with Im provements prudence demands care ful thot. It would bo folly for this city to Iguoro thu warnings that come from ovory hand thut tho orgy of ox- truwigoncu must cease, both lu pri vate uud public uffalrs. Whllo On tario's spending or not Bpondlng would lu iiowIko affect tho financial situation of tho country. If oery other community viewed tho situa tion In that light, breakers would loom ahead for all. We bollovo that many of tho think ing men and womou of tho commun ity roullsto that In tho beatitlflcatlon of tho Individual homus, In tho plant ing of parkways, In tho addition of trees, rather than In thu extension of major Improvements, for tho pres unt, lies Ontario's duty. At loast this thought Is worthy of considera tion, and If further Improvements uro determined upon by thu mujorlty, ovorythlng will bu done with nil thu facts on tho tahlo for consideration. hi:i:kixi anotjm:u i'i.unei: Is civilization lu reality on thu decline? Is humanity graduully sinking to tho level of thu savage? Tho rlvors of blood havo hardly dried uuou tho battlefields of I'rance, uud yot tho nations of tho uurtli aro steadily prepurlng for thu next war.

Tho U-bout Is being perfected to outdo Its previous exploits In send ing ship loads of helpless people to tho bottom of tho sen without warn ing uud with no avenue of uscupu. Almost ovorywhero wo turn wo find tho brluhtust minds and tho keenest Intellects concontrutod upon tho con struction of muchluus for tho tlo- r.tructlon of human llfo. Such u condition Immediately fol lowing tho groat war Is unthinkable, It Is appalling, and yet It Is truo. Tho world entertained hopes that tho war Just closed would bo tho lust.

IT HARDWARE THE WffirCffSTR STORE mmm 3 Q)(D Announcement IT gives us a pood deal of pleas ure to announce that we havo been appointed distributors for Horse -Shoe tires and tubes in this district. We realize that we could only expect continued tire patronage as long as the tires we sold made good. Consequently we were very careful in making our selection States, Municipalities and many of the world's largest corporations are today using Horse-Shoe tires. Exhaustive tests proved the supe rior quality so thoroughly that some of them specified that Horse- Shoe tires bo used exclusively So good has this make of tire proven that the demand has increased nearly sixty-fold in the last six years. Horse-Shoe products are of exceptional quality, yet when figured by Corporations on cost per mile basis they proved them selves by far the cheaper tire. We would appreciate an oppor tunity to show, as well as tell you, of their merit. PARKER'S TIRE AND VALCANIZING SHOP AUTO ACCESSORIES "We Sell For Less" Phone 177 L Ontario, Oregon 7$f-$$$v4$'4''
