OCT. 20 1922 When in pessimistic mood those of us who do not own a cars are fond of pointing out that a good half of the people's financial woes is due to lavish spending on automobiles and the gasoline with which to run them. Yet there's another phase of the Question. Cars are a real asset when used for service, and are like wise of value in promoting the enjoyment of the populace. Pursuit Of pleasure, in moderation, is essen tial to mankind's well-being, and cars have afforded us a wonderful advan tage over all preceding generations. This temporal blessing is not to be decried because of its frequent abuse by speed demons and joy riders. Rather should a strict curb be put upon the letter's dangerous activi ties. However, the citizen who spends most of his surplus on auto mobiles should lay the blame where it properly belongs, and not on the government, for his slim bank account Having sold to American "invest ors" for $960,000,000 paper marks that are now worth only $56,000,000, Germany has made more out of the printing business than most country editors. The Brooksville Record thinks that "it is hard to understand a sex that is too proud to do housework at $15 a week, but will marry and do it for nothing." Ten traffic accidents is Portland' record for one week. Evidently pedestrians must be kept off the streets if cars are to be kept off tht pedestrians. The prudent Oregon housewife will insist that her spouse take out a life t,nd accident insurance policy at the same time he does his hunting license. Rockefeller's income is said to be larger than Henry Ford's. The more "tin lizzies" that are turned out the more gasoline it takes to run 'em. While the "importance" of Satur day's football game may not set well with the Pendletonlans, as com pared with the coming Enterprise game, the fact that, the Pendleton team was thoroughly licked by Ath ena will not be overlooked by con ference officials in summing up for the championship at the end of the season. Let Pendleton pin her esti mation on population, if she desires; we'll gauge ours by the number of games won. . ' . The New Brunswick murder mys tery is becoming plain to us. We theorize that the slayer got hold of and read one of Hall's mushy notes to Mrs. Mills and was driven to homicidal mania. "Our own opinion," says the Bal timore Sun, "is that the kangaroo is just one of Nature's abortive efforts to produce a safe pedestrian." Sneaking of lucky days, the Ed m on ton Journal points out the one on which the United States declined a mandate for Constantinople. Must be immoral support the Turk has been getting from Rassia, since that is the only kind of which the bolsheviks are capable. "A small business that pays is better than a big one that doesn't," is among the Sap and Salt man's most sapient remarks. We're simply not going to say that Hermiston has qualified as the county's "earthquake center" because it needs! a shaking up. England should have reflected that if on a good many occasions she hadn't let George do it, it might never have been done. It will soon be realized that the change is in England's government and not in the pockets of her idle workingmen. T.lnvH Georcre has resigned. It wasn't fair, anyhow, that Wilson, Clemenceau and Orlando should have all the luck. Despite his recent literary efforts, Bill Hohenzollern will best be re membered as the author of the World War. Disapproval of congress is not quite unanimous, its record having been endorsed by President Harding. Voliva may succeed in keeping Methodists out of Zion City on earth but not, we trust, in heaven. "Couple Spoon in Tree" at Long Beach, California. Looks to us as though the tree would leave. None but themselves will regret that the Wobblies have made at Portland a striking failure. In view of the fact that it helped to arm the Turk, we feel a certain degree of hesitancy in sharing the NOTICE Notice is hereby given that at a regular meeting of the budget com mittee for the City of Athena, held at the office of the City Recorder at 7:30 o'clock P.
