Garage JACK DAVIS NINTH A OLIVE SMALLER PAPERS PATRIOTIC The smaller city dailies and the country weeklies are the great force" for good in developing the communi ties they serve. The big metropolitan dailies may influence national affairs some but it is the country community that de termines things. Many people have formed the habit ;f merely scanning the headlines of the big city dailies, while smaller pa pern are read through. ' In the recent election the contest was between an extension of state socialism and real Americanism, big vity papers booking socialism. i The smaller city and country pres J s patriotic and consenatlve. and ! loes not rush hostilities with other ' countries hat lead to war. There are big metropolitan papers t hat would force our country into war with Mexico and Japan for what 'hey could make out of it. Ex. McMinnville County puU up $10. 000 for new armory.

The questionnaire closes with a re quest for (he editor's personal opin ion on certain concrete cases as fol lows: "Do you personally believe that the Federal Government should own and operate competitive Industries lo pro vide: (a) Fertilizer? (b) Clothing? (c) Automobile? (d) Farm Imple ments? (e) Foodstuffs? Substantially all the editors who gave estimates of their readers' opin ions also expressed their own by re plying to this last question. Proof of considerable effort to ' ovoid personal bias is found in the fact that In many cases the editor differed from the opinion he credited to his community. The percentage of "nos" ran: (a) 78; (b) S3; (c) 86: (d) 82: (a) 7.

THK handy llllle knife you carry In your pocket was evicted of neces sity In the days when people wrote with quill pens instead of sleel. The quills wore down or broke, and It was necessary fo .reshape theiu.

PERFECTION "I suppose your Idea of a perfect woman la one who has no faults." "No, merely one who ncknowlt Jaes them." Its toasted now d6 you say m By C. N. Urie Common Errors In Foolish and How to Avoid Them THE USE OF "COT." Till', word "k'et" and Its deriva tives, "got" and "got ten." have their roH-r place In the Ktigllsh lan guage, but they are frripo-iiily over worked and misused. "Get" means "to acquire, to gain, to obtain, to pro cure." and It tbies not menu to have or to become. To say "lie got a for tune," meaning that he acquired one, I correct uge. but It Is not correct to euy "lie's got a fortune" when one means "He ha a fortune." Hay "I have a cold." but d not say "I have got a cold" or "I've got' a cold." Some authorities permit the use if "have got." meaning 'have." but they call such use colloquial, meaning that It Is common but Is not recogiilr.cd as standard. It I. however, sometimes defended on the ground that long tisago has made R a part of our com mon speech. "I did not get to go there," and elm liar expressions, are heard some times, but they are example of an other faulty use of the word "get." Say. "I could not go there." or "I had no opportunity lo go there." r-op rtghl.) () Let us figuro on that next on that next Jon of printing. Wo can save you money.
