Responsibility
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

IllinoU.
Here's an Unusual Golden Wedding
William E. Knox, president of the
Bowery Savings bank of New York,
who was recently elected president of
the American Bankers' association.
STATE INCOME TAX
PROBLEM UNSOLVED
Salem, Or. In case the attorney
general holds that the state income
tax already obligated but not paid ib
collectible, even though the repeal of
the law In the election may have wip
ed out the operating machinery of the
department, an effort will be made
to collect all the tax due for the year
1924 based on incomes for 1923.
This was the announcement made
here by a member of the state tax
commission under whose direction the
state income tax department has been
conducted. Earl Fisher, state tax com
missioner, said that an Investigation
on tu records indicated that approxi
mately $700,000 of the total income
tax, exceeding $1,250,000, had not been
collected. This amount, he said, in
cluded fourth installment payments
due in December, moneys due from
firms, corporations and individuals
that received time extensions, and
scattering obligations from agencies
affected by the law which failed to
file returns.
"THiE greater the honor, the heavier
the responsibility; the higher the
office, the more numerous the obliga
tions which it will carry with it to be
met. We want the honor, we crave
the distinction, we covet the office
we are not always eager to meet the
obligations which inevitably go with
these things.
, "I'd like to have Bolton's salary," an
envious young fellow said with refer
ence lo the president of a large cor
poration. "I wonder how you would like to
settle his troubles and carry his re
sponsibilities?" I asked.
"Well, that's another story," was
bis reply.
I remember n conversation I had
ypiirs ago with a city executive whose
official record was noted for its Ineffi
ciency. I pointed out to him certain
violations of law that were constantly
occurring almost under his very eyes.
He could sit In his office and look out
of the window upon one of the worst
resorts la town, and yet he made no
attempt to correct the evil.
"Don't you know about these
places?" I asked him straightfor
wardly. "Well, of course, as a private citi
zen, I am pretty well convinced of
their existence," lie admitted, "but of !
dclnlly I do not know anything about
them."
I watched a body of w orkmen yes- j
terday a dozen of them, perhaps
engaged In the repairing of a railroad
crossing. The work was simple and :
it was quite evident even to an Inex
perienced onlooker like myself what
ought to be done, yet they stood
around inactive, doing nothing. The
boss was gone, and there was no one
of the twelve who was willing to take
on himself the responsibility of going
ahead with the work.
Men marry, Join church, accept of
fice, become members of organizations
too often without a thought of what
these obligations mean, of the respon
sibilities which are Involved. Most
members of a committee or of an or
ganization can be depended on to do
very little work. More or less we are
all given to shirking our responsi
bilities. (. 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)

Fifty years ago John U. Lloyd witnessed a double wedding of brothers
and sisters which furnished the basis of his most popular work, "Stringtown on
the Pike." A few days ago Mr. Lloyd hurried to Cincinnati to meet these same
brothers and sisters, now observing their golden anniversary. Above, at the
left, are shown Mr. and Mrs. Albert C. Souther. At the right are Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Souther. They are perhaps the only brothers and sisters in the
United States to observe their golden wedding anniversary at the same time.

Bible Thoughts for
thsWeek
Sunday.
These Six Things (loth the
Lord hate; yea, seven are an
abomination to Him: a proud
look, a lying tongue, and hands
that slieil innocent blood, An
heart that deviseth wicked imag
inations, feet that be swift In
running to mischief, A false
witness that speaketh lies, and
he that sowetli discoid among
brethren. Prov. 0:16-11).
Monday.
Whosoever Will Come After
Me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow
Me. Kor whosoever will save
his life shall lose it ; but who
soever shall lose his life for My
sake and the gospel's, the same T
shall save it. .Mark S:34, 30.
Tuesday.
Thou Shalt Love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and ..
with all thy soul, and with all "
thy strength, and with all thy ..
mind; and thy neighbor as thy- T
self. Luke 10:27.
Wednesday.
He That Will Love Life, and
I see good days, let him refrain I
Ids tongue from evil, and his J
I lips tli.it they sp uk no guile. X
t I Peter 3:10.
Thursday.
I The Fruit of the Spirit is love,
T Joy, peace, longsuffering, gentle-
IE ness, goodness, faith, meekness,
t temperance: against such there
is no law. uai. o:ja la.
Friday.
He That Keepeth His Mouth
keepeth his life, but he that
openeth wide Ids lips shall have
4. destruction. Prov. 16:6.
Saturday.
Blessed Are the Pure in Heart, T
for they shall see God. Matt
5:8.
The season of the open fire place,
the warm stove and the old time apple
eating is here. Have you stocked up
on apples yet? or coal?. Oh Boy! give
us some of both. ,
When we played house in the rustl
ing leuves, "them was the good old
days', and now they're not sanitary
and we burn them as they fall. What
with the auto and areoplane there are
still things the modern kids miss.
The skill of the marksman may he
true, but you never can tell, "where
the goose will hang high", as demon
strated by several stray birds this
past week.
The majority of the highway travel
at this season is done in closed ears
as a ched; uny day now will indicate.
As variety is (lie spice of life, so
advertising is the spice of business, no
spice no pep, no pep no customers, no
customers no dollars etc.
Its time to begin "Do your Christ
mas shopping early.''

Operetta Big Success
The Indian operetta , Feast of the
Red Corn, went off with a bang on
Friday evening Novoinler 14th. The
performance was branded as the finest
tiling in the operetta line ever wit
0 eased in this locality. Twenty five
girls did themselves great credit as
well as showing great tldngs in music
under the able direction of the music
ian of the school faculty, Miss Aldrioh.
The football boys have reason to con
gratulate the girls on their support
Your Conversation I i' I I 4
"SAVVY"
The Spanish are very particu
lar. They have a verb "saber,"
meaning to know, while the verb
"conocer" means "knowing ac
quaintances." It is a serious
breach of grammar to confuse
the two. "Savvy" Ig a corrup
tion of "saber" brought in from
; Mexico over the border. When
i you ask someone, "do vou
! savvy?" some think you are
using a bit of slang of Spanish
! Mexican descent.

Makma Strong Appeal
There is something in the very name
of fortitudw which speaks to the al
most Indelible love of heroism in men's
hearts. Bishop Francis Paget.
A tall like gentleman sauntered into
the school house the other day and
after making two trips upstairs to the
auditorium. Supt. ,T. O. Russell hail
ed him and asked what was wanted
He replied that he was a student !n
college and wanted to take orders f'.t
Subscriptions to a magazine .Mr. Bus
sell asked, "Did you see the sign a l
the entrance", he said he did. and then
Mr. Russell said that it would le just
as well that he make his exit, to
which he replied that he was not in
fai t an agenJmt he was given to an
derstand that if he was soliciting he
was nothing les than an agent and he
was directed again to find his way
out via the front door, post baste.
In fashion's school sweaters and
sweater coals used to stand quietly at
the foot of the class in dress accesso
ries But they have made rapid ad
vancement In the last few years, and
now dispute with other apparel for
a place at the head. Ill the old days
to be competent and comfortable
seemed their sole ambition, but now
t heir eyes are fixed on distinction,
style and beauty as the goals to be
striven for.
Advunce showing! of i 1 1 corf u I winter-resort
clothes show sweaters and
sweater coats as numerous as the
(lowers of the Held and equally allur
ing. There Is no end to the varieties
of weaving and ornamentation, and
some of them have scarfs to match
In color but In lace knit patterns. For
Instance, an orchid-colored slip on
sweater, bordered with narrow bands
"t purple, bus a wide, hey scurf fin
ished with the same bands at the ends
The cozy sweater coat shown In the

beige color bordered with white braid
