HINGS THAT GIVE CONTENT
It is said
Virgil Schadewitte has monned to
the E. O. L. land formerly farmed
by Hans Koepke-
lat the Chinese have an expression: “The desires of
of men are without end, but the things that give content are few
and well known.”
Someway that is a most comforting proverb, especially for one
who lives in a commuhity that is rapidly learning to do without
many of the pleasures they had been taught to think were their
right and heritage.
Here in Sherman county we are harking hack to the days of
the pioneers of forty and fifty years ago as far as our search for
pleasures are concerned. The simple friendliness of neighbor?,
the geriuine community party where everyone is welcome, the old
fashioned dance to steps all can perform, are evidence that our
pleasures are becoming deflated, as it were, and returning to their
old »-r customs.
There is a movement on foot among the young folks in at
least two of the towns of the county to organize an put the on boards
an amateur play or two during the winter Certainly such a move
would result in as rhuch enjoyment for the community as would a
trip tn another town for a picture show and would have the added
advantage of giving good training to the parlicipitants.
The bther Sunday a group of men spent an hour or more de
termining which one could jump the farthest, horse shoes is again
popu ar, just plain visiting is back in favor and folks are as happy,
apparently, as in the so called good old days when no day was
called succe sful unless it entailed a drive of a couple hundred
miles and the expenditure of several dollars
Some way we have confidence in the ability of people to make
their own enjoyments whether they have money to spend or not.
Happiness, we are presuming, does not come, from great posses
sions, but from the simple pleasures of life that are well known
and possible for nearly all of us.

READ THE POWER BILL CAREFULLY
t here seems to be considerable sentiment in favor of the so
cal I d po*er bill among the grangers of the county. This senti
ment is caused, we tiink, by the desire of the farmers to keep the
water power sites of the state perpetually in the hands of the peo
ple instead of allo • ing them to be sold to individuals or the power
companies. This sentiment is laudable and has been incorpoiat(<l
into the law of the state years ago.
. I
Bui the bill also provides that “th- legislative assembly shall”
mike laws to put the state in the business of constructing dams,
generating power, transp rting electricity, selling, etc. For the
purpose of financing this development the credit of the state is
pledged to the extent of six percent of the total valuation
TMn would amount to over $60,000,000 in new bonds, more
th .n the total indebtedness the state has at present which is $54,
577,000. In our own county it could raife the indebtedness from the
slightly over $200,000 worth of bonds we now have to something
over $660,000 according to our present valuation Now we pay
$28,000 for bond retirement and interest every year. This is 14
percent of our total tax bill If this bill should be enacted into law
and the developments contemplated were built the cost would be
three times the present bond and interest cost or about 40 percent
of the taxes on the present budget.
This is certainly not a debt to betaken lightly. It is not neces
sary for the stAte to begin building power dams to hold their right
to the slaes; that has been provided for long ago.
