OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS MODERN COLONISTS Loneliness of frontier life is gone for good. Distances are no longer a matter of worry. In the distant plain.or mountain a family is still a part of a community, with accessible friends and accessible markets. The reason for this is the advent off] the motor car and motor truck. i . Just now a party of 128 families, 650 people in all, are on their way from New York state to Idaho, They are travel- ing in a train of 135 automobiles with 230 trailers carrying tents, portable houses and supplies, They are camping by the road at nights with no thought of Indians to molest them.. In comparison with the old prairie schooner and trail, the modern colonists know nothing of hardship. They are travel- ing in ease and comfort, They are independent even of rail- road trains. Having reached their destination, they have ne worry about getting out to get supplies until their farm can produce their needs. By the same means as they went in, they may get out and get out as often as they wish and yet be within a few hours reach of towns or cities. ! If the real significance of this could be realized, thousands of the population of the crowded cities would be on the trail to the open country where free sunshine and flowers are theirs for the taking. Who said something about going back to the good old days? 0— NO ALLIANCE OFFENSIVE TO UNITED STATES In the imperial conference, now sitting in London, of the premiers of the British Dominions and statesmen of the home overnment of England, the matter of the renewal of the Anglo- apanese treaty is causing considerable interest. The time has| come for the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty and there| is nauch conjecture as to what action will be taken. Austin Chamberlain, government leader- in the fBritish house of commons, recently, in debating on the matter, said: It is right to say at once that we shall be no party to any al- liance directed against America, or under which we can be called upon to act against America.” A ! Chamberlain is not the only British or colonial statesman who has expressed himself in the same manner, They have ‘plainly indicated that if a choice is to be made as to the friend-| hip of, United States and Japan they would choose the friend- ship, of the United States. : g It ig very likely the treaty will be renewed—it is expected that it will be renewed—but it will contain nothing to wbich this country will take exception. The British want to continue ‘their understanding with Japan, but they also want to guaran- tee that never could they be called upon to help Japan in a war ‘with the United States. It has been maintained in the past that the existing treaty does not pledge Great Britain to any such action. The new treaty will without doubt make that more explicit. | | i N e . UNPRINTED NEWS The old one about the cub reporter on the country daily .who was left in charge of the newspaper the day the court hopse ,and the entire city square burned and published the paper with- out natice of the fire might be applied to the Salvation Army officer. You will recall that when asked by the returned and “irate editor why he had not written up the big story, the cqb replied that it was not news. Everybody, he contended, in town was there and knew all about it. So when we ask a Salvation Army corps ofi_'icer for news, he replies that there isn’t any. Often investigation sl_wws that that particular day he has found a woman st'arvmg in a pros- j)erous city, or discovered a 14-year-old girl, an expectant “mother, disowned and hated by her parents, or h_e feeds a man ‘@ow a tramp) who was once a United States minister to a grgat fpower, or picks from the slums a musician who once with nim- "ble fingers enthralled monarchs as the music leapt from his quivering “Strad.” . ‘And they say there is no news. It is all news. Conse- crated to the work of uplifting man, they have seen so many things stranger than fiction that they have ceasgd .to wonder, but they never falter. The great romance of rebuilding the lost .will forever go unchronicled.

Unless he is more careful than the average man, it is only after he i.throws it away that he finds the match is still lighted. If he finds it out " right away, no harm is done. If, after tossing it over his shoulder, he walks -away, it may land where it finds something inflammable to work on, and . then there is trouble. The national board of underwriters says that there is on the average a . ity thousand dollars a day from fires caused in this'way or by careless dis- . ‘posal of lighted cigars or cigarettes. [ ¥ That amounts to eighteen and a quarter million dollars a year, which +,used to pass as a large sum before people got their minds fuddled by think- ing so much in billions. And all due to the rankest kind of individual carelessness.
