The currency bill hns finally been naased. and it is oxnected that business throughout the country will soon adjust itself to meet the new conditions. With the tariff and currency bills now settled, the new year is full of promise for unprecedented pros- penty. May it he so. The phase " incendiary origin" is fretting to be the rule m St. Johns where fires occur. Some body is going to got what is com ing to him one of these days, hecause the suspicion is growing until it is being whispered out loud that there is a firebug or two that makes his haunts in.St. Johns, and seems to take delight insetting fire to buildings. The police have their cars to the ground. Portland is finding" a way of giving partial employment to those in need and out of employ ment. It would be well if St. Johns could do the same. There is little to employ men at on municipal work this time of year, but we believe that the city and school management might find a way to employ tnein ut cutting wood to Ue used by the city and schools next year. Wo believe there is land at Whitwood Court covered with small tinnier mat the owners would be quite willing to permit the wood removed therefrom without remuneration in order to have the land partially cleared. This is a matter that might be given some thought, at least. 1 greatly admire llie woman who has enough strength or character to forget her clothes, even when she realizes that thoy arc not suitable for the occasion. Few of the feminine persuasion can achieve this. It is a curious thing what sort of poise it gives even a shy woman to fool that she is properly gowned. Clothe may not make the man but they certainly do go a long wa. toward making a woman feel at ease at least, writes the Household Editor of the North west Farmstead. mo domes uuosiion never seems to affect men half as much as it does women, their wives and sisters. They are not linnet I they aro caught with their work- ing clothes on, and don't even think of apologizing. The aver ago woman, however, whom un- expected company Hikik her with her morning dren on in the afternoon, even if she is engage ed in some tasks where it would 1)0 arrant foo ishnesM to woai anything else, is completely flus tered, It is easy enough to sav uiiti you SIIOIIKIU l 1)0 nut II another matter to feel that way, What comfort it must have been to Mother Eve to just atop out to tho fig tree when she felt she or the children needed new ciotnou. io wondering over whothor Hlouvos wore getting larger or amnller; no worrying SXtKSiSS Eagles Have Good Time was always as well droHsuti as her neighbor.

Perrine on Parks Editor Review: Three mass meetings were held in St. Johns to get the sentiment of the peo ple in regard to parks one for the First Ward and one for tho Second Ward. Then a third meeting was held to get both wards together and ratify or ex press their wisli as a whole. They added one more park site and ratified the other throe selec tions, making four park sites to be voted on at the next goueral election, or any time the people see fit. They did not urge im mediate or nremature action, but selected a committee to talk and hotel meetings to determine what the people wanted, and also to be educational in tins matter. Now I understand that the Coun cil at its last meeting, knowing the resultH of those mass meet ings, went into star chamber session that is, went in tho dark so the people could not know who was who, and disre garded the miiHH meetings and the exprosKed wishes of the peo ple; ignored East St. Johns, cut out tho Cook tract, also tho Stearns tract. Now a word, Mr. Editor: Hint committee is still alive. We said we would vote nsaunit. I believe that those people meant it. and that the St. Johns Ult.v Council will find out that the people will vote a unit next April when it comes to selecting a now Council. Yours for parks selected by tho people and against star chamber councilmon. (!. L. rorrine.
