ly on a sheep ranch we miss our

large hall suitable for any kind of
use. There was a large crowd from
the vicinity of Morgan present at the
dance also four or five auto loads
from lone. About twelve-thirty sup
per was announced. There was plenty
of good eats, such as roast turkey,
and cranberry sauce and all the rest
that goes with It to make supper
taste good. Everybody seemed to
enjoy themselves and if they did not
have a good time it was their fault,
and we think some of those present
wish Mr. Whitcomb would announce
another dance before they get too

Enterprise and Civic Pride
An Asset To Any
Community
The wearying winter swiftly
wanes. The sun rides high and
higher in the heavens. The sweet
soft rains and the freshening, almost
fragrant air whisper of the approach
ing renewal of nature. Warm south
ern slopes here and there grow faint
ly green. The roguish robin, hun
dreds of him, already is among us
again and heralds an early spring.
Men should not be laggard in ma
king ready to do their part in prepar
ing their neighborhoods and homes
to share in the new birth of the year.
It is time for the voice of the village
improvement association to begin to
make itself heard in the land. It is
not too soon for lovers and makers
of the city beautiful to bestir them
selves for the spring housecleaning
and for the dwellers in the country to
plan to beautify the surroundings of
the farmhouse.
There exists a great field in the In
land Empire for energetic enterprise
and civic pride in these matters. Al
together too many of our towns and
villages are unkempt and repulsive
in appearance. One glimpse at their
squalid disorderliness is enough to
frighten thoughts of permanent resi
dence there out of the transient vis
itor's mind. The slight expense of
labor, money and time requisite for
changing the repellant physique of a
community or farmhouse to a thing
ot beauty, health and joy brings the
richest of returns. It is an invest
ment in attractiveness, a capitaliza
tion of means of bringing in perma
nent residents and their wealth.
The matter has peculiar pertinency
this year, It is the year wlien the
greatest volume of travel that ever
traversed the Pacific northwest is
sure to pass through the Inland Em
pire. Thousands of these tourists
and visitors will be drawn or driven
as respects investment and settle
ment here, according as they see at
tractive communities and homes or
view repulsive neighborhoods and ne
glected houses or grounds. Spokesman-Review.
