Many autoists of Bay City are hav ing difficulty passing slower ma chines than their own, because the people refuse to move to one side of the road, and hog more than their just share of room. Accidents are feared for some of the road hogs. Much of the news this week in the Bay City columns is due to the kind ness and curtesy of Mrs. Charles Jones, Mrs. T. A. Gillen, Mrs. 0. E. Shelly, C. F. Girard and W. F. Smith. All of them had written or ready, notes to give to the Headlight rep resentative.

The merchants and business men of Bay City were notified to report at 8 p.m. Thursday evening to the mayor’s office for the purpose of forming a club for the betterment of the city to the satisfaction of the city lathers. They all answered to their name and were well pleased,it appeared, to belong to the club that means bigger business. The order of the evening was the organization of all routine work connected with the future wel fare of Bay City. Communications re ceived from all parts of the state, such as inquiries about the need of machine shops, garage filling sta- • tions, hotels, fruit canneries and manufacturing plants, caused a great deal of enthusiasm. Following are the members enroll ed: "J. O. Bozarth, C. F. Girard, H. Butler, T. Ashley, F. Jacoby, J. Nevins, J. C. McClure, Kenneth Eld er, Dr. W. C. Hawk, John Nelson, C. H. Jones, F. W. Smith, W. B. Har ris, A. Ramsey, E. E. Smith, W. S. Cone and O. E. Shelly. The meeting was adjourned until the following week, to be followed by a banquet at Girard’s Grill. It was unanimously voiced by the members of the club that County Judge Hare and officials be give a vote of thanks for the energetic man ner they were proceeding with the county road through Bay City, as it shows the spirit of Tillamook county. Sign of lay. -------o------- Southern Democrats are said to be worried by the disposition of the negro to demand self-determination. Well, this self-determination can’t be entirely reserved for the export-trade can it? ----- ~o------- Having no assurance of a six year term as first president of the league of nations at >200,000 a year some of those wilful senators are not able to take that broad and generous view of the situation that come natural to unpygmified minds. A Paris dispatch says that Presi dent Wilson sailed for America with "the peace treaty in his pocket and bitterness in his heart toward his foes in America.” In other words bit ter because he doesn’t have the Sen ate in his pocket, too. ------- o------- The cost pf the necessities of life went up two percent in April. And think how much prices might have gone up if we didn't have in power a party that was elected in protest against the high living costs of 1912, when things were nearly half as high as they are now! ------- o------- What has become of the old-fash ioned Democrat whi used to lie awake of nights because, in Sulu polygamy was practiced under the American flag? He is getting ready, maybe, to apply for the office of mandatory Constantinople in the hope that the Sultan’s harem goes with the job. ------- o------- The toiler who cannot succeed in the United States could not succeed anywhere else in the world, and mil lions of the poor and down-trodden of the rest of the world have found in this nation the land of labor’s best estate and broadest opportunity. The citizen of America who knocks this country’s institutions knocks himself. The Russellville, Ala., Times, typ ical Dixie Democratic organ, says. “The plain truth is the profiteers have got the country under their thumbs.” And this after six and a half years of the complete cdntrol of the federal government by a political party which got Into power promis ing to smash the plutocrats and knock out the high cost of living. ------- o------- When President Wilson crossed the Atlantic as Princeton’s president a few years ago he declined to speak at a Fourth of July celebration on ship board, and was the only Ameri can on the vessel who would not at tend the exercises. Mawbe he knew he would sometime have an oppor tunity to hit that foolish piece of national bumptiousness, and hit it hard. —o----------- As many millionaires have been created, according to the income tax reports, since Mr. Wilson’s inaugura tion, as during the whole previous history of the country, and that with scarcely any additional develop ment of the nation’s resources or in crease of its productive power; in other words this enrichment was al most entirely speculative, Yet the democratic war cry was; “The rich are getting richer and the poor poor er.” The demagogue who talks that way is always seeking an opportun- ity to put it over on the people. A Billion of Dollars More Cost for Billions of Tons Less Work. ------ o------ Let a little plain arithmetic tell the grim tale of government opera- tion—economic synonym for Wreck- age: For the first four months of thia year of 1919 the American railroads carried two and a quarter billions of ton miles of freight less than the average of the same period in the three years before the gov ernment took over the roads. In the four months of 1919 it cost the American people in higher freight bills >447,950,000 more than it cost the American people in the corresponding test period before gov ernment operation to ship and pay the freight bill on two and a quarter billions more ton miles of freight hauled In that corresponding test period. But It also cost the railways nearly >612,000,000 more—to be exact, >611,797,000—to haul the 2,25«. 000.000 fewer ton miles of freight than the test period. Directly costing the American public, in higher freight bills, >447,- 950,000 more, and indirectly costing the American public, in deficits 1 which must be made up out of taxes j on the people, >611.797,000, here is | an increased cost to the public ot more than a billion dollars— to be exact >1,059,747,000. More than a billion dollars of in- creased costs to the American people in only four months—one-third of a year--for the transportation of and a quarter billions fewer miles of freight! The touch of the government business is the touch of death. I Blank had had a day off and when he returned to the office the follow ing morning his pals wanted to know why he looked so disgruntled. "Ev erything went wrong," grumbled Blank. "How was that?” 1 was asked, “Ever go fishing with a girl?” “Once". "Did she protest against hurting the fish?” “No. She said she was sure they were perfectly happy, because they were all wag- King their tails.” ------- o------- A Jah Made Easy. A minister, accompanied by two pretty girls, stood entranced by the beauties of a flowing stream, A fish- erman happened to pass, and mistak ing the minister's occupation, said. "Ketchin’ many sir?” “I am a. fisher of men,” answered the preacher with dignity. "Well.” replied the fishernian with an admiring glance atdlie girls, "you’ve got the right bait.” ------- o------- Matter of Fame Nicolai Zedeler, the distinguished cellist, organiser and manager of the Zedeler Symphonic Quintet, soon to be heard at Chautauqua, believes that love of good music is Inherent in every one. and he has surrounded himself with an organization of superior musicians for the one purpose of bringing the best in the world of music into the life and appreciation of the average hearer. The programs of the company are chosen from the works of the masters, and a brief and comprehensive explanation of each number precedes Its presentation, adding much to a proper understanding of the music. To enable a company of five to secure symphonic effects a special reed organ is carried. A gjoup of housewives were having tea together at a restaurant and talk ing, over the events of the day. The question under discussion was as to who had done most to win the war. Some said Haig, .others Beatty, oth ers Foch. At last one woman chipped in; “I don’t know who’s done most to win the war,1’ she said “but I know who’s been most talked about.’’ this ’ere Alice Lorraine that the French and Germans came to I blows over.” -------o------- How He Got It. A colored vetran just back from the other side when questioned about an iron cross he was wearing ex plained: “Boss it was an extra dec oration. De Kaiser hisself sent it to me by a special messenger what dropt dead just before he gave It to me.” ------- o------- In Henry’s Dayl Everything Under the Sun The Parnell* Are Two of the Mott Talented and Versatile People on the Platform a ¿azzzzzzzz? ( Y’, . “Times have changed, and not for the better, I think,” says Marse Hen ry Watterson. "In the old days, fam ily pride and individual ambition ran hand in hand. The son wanted to emulate his father, and the father wanted to see the son make his way in the World ‘on his own,’ Bqt Tie change in the times is graphically il lustrated in a conversation I over heard recently. “My son’, said the rv- tired merchant, ‘when I was your age. Instead of idling and smoking cigarettes, I was laboring twelve hours a day building rail fences,’ ‘I'm proud of you dad,’ retorted the mod ern youth. 'Had It not been for your pluck and perserverance I might be forced to that same kind of work to day.” - o------- The Wrong Number But— It was the same old story. He had got the wrong number on the tele phone. Only this time he received a shock. “I’m sorry I gave you the wrong line.” said a sweet voice over tha wire. “It doesn’t matter a bit,”' he re- plied not to be outdone in courtesy. "I’m sure the number you gave me was much better than the one I ask ed for; but it just happened that I wasn’t able to use it.” ------ o------- Not So Crazy as That. “The biggest two-people company on the platform’’—that’s the Parnells. There are no exceptions. They both sing and read and Impersonate, play ’cello, saxophone, piano and accordion. And they do every one of these many things with finished musicianship and ability. There Is not u dill or uninter esting moment in their two programs on the fifth day. If you miss them you miss one of the big events of Chautauqua. Sergeant Gibbons Is Coming Great Canadian War Lecturer and Writer at Chautauqua Soon A young mill hand, having some slight mental trouble, was sent to an asylum. After he had been there for a few weeks a fellow worker visited him. “Hello Henry!” he asked. “How are you getting on?” “I’m getting on fine,” said the patient. "Glad to hear it. 1 suppose you’ll be coming back to the mill soon?” "What!” exclaimed Henry, and a look of great surprise came to his .’ace. “Do you think I’d leave a big, fine house like this and a grand garden to come back to work in a mill? You must think I’m wrong in my head.” Everybody Bossed Him. “Once upon a time,” said Uncle Eben, "dar was a man dat said he wanted to be his own boss. He saved up enough so’s he didn't owe nobody nuffln’ an' set out on an enjoyment trip. An’ de car conductor said ‘Step lively!’ and de hotel clerk said, 'Go somewhere else!' an’ de telephono said 'Droy in yoh 10 cents!’ an' de taxicab driver hollered, ‘Git outn’ de way!’ till finally he jes' packed up an' nien’t back home where he would not be ordered around so much.” —o— Troublei of His Own. A discouraged counselor remarked to the court. “My poor client is little likely to get justice don her until the judgment day.” “Well, counse lor,” said the judge, "If I have an op portunity I'll plead for the poor woman myself on that day." •' You honor,” replied the othehr, •will have troubles of his own upon that day.” u h y Ln* Sergeant Glbbonw, who .erred three yenr. overseas as a member of tha first Canadian contingent, prisoner in German prison camps for seven months, is to be one of the feature lecturers of Chautauqua week.
