If worst game to worst he would borrow—or beg—of his thrifty i or, the ant. oe the ant had made use of every golden hour, He filled his storehouse. Well he knew what winter meant. Well he realized the preparation he must make if he would live in comfort while the wind howled and the skies grew dark outside. ‘And so it was no cheery welcome the grasshopper re- ceived when he called at the ant’s house and begged for shelter and food when November cold stiffened his hop- ing legs. Eon played and idled your time away while I worked,” the ant told.the grasshopper. “I have only enough for self.” And the grasshopper, hungry and shivering, called it quits and passed out, his fate like that of many care- less humans. ee i The sunshine you are skipping in today won't last always. Winter, in the shape of old age, creeps on us all. If we have made systematic preparation for it, there should be naught but happiness and satisfaction “ghead—the joy of maturing a useful life amid decent and comfortable surroundings. Tf we have skipped thru the summer days of our youth without thought of the morrow, ours likely will be the “miserable end’ of the grasshopper. The Star’s Thrift campaign is plarmed as a great edu- cational move. The Star has made it possible for every ‘one to start—NOW —to save. On another page the de- tails of the plan are set forth. Seattle folks never had such an opportunity before. Grasp it-—-NOW! “the long summer days. People who think are scarce, but people who think they think equal war census dust when the silly season was almost over a Syracuse man sued widow for breach of promise. Seattle Receives a Bouquet (From the Walla Walla Bulletin) The old-fashioned community organization was essen- tially selfish. It begrudged prosperity of its neighbors, little appreciative that what is good fer one is good for all. Great sums were spent in advertising each town and jealousies arose that counteracted all possible ad- ein this state the co-operative movement has been “heated by Seattle, and even today its Chamber of Com- merce leads the Northwest in co-operative endeavor, based on the fact that what is good for any part of the Northwest or Alaska and Western Canada, was also good Prosperity in other towns and districts of the Northwest was not begrudged, but was encouraged, and as a result of this broad-minded spirit Seattle today occupies an enviable position among Western cities. “Work Is the only road to success,” writes one successful man and blasts many a hope. One would be mistaken tn calling Dempsey’s diary a scrapbook. Start Street Parades Early The retail trade bureau of the Chamber of Commerce is right in its stand against afternoon street parades. The Star has heretofore urged that these events be scheduled for the noon hour or earlier. The afternoon parades disrupt car service and overload already overloaded cars during the late afternoon peak “hours of travel. They jam the stores with late shoppers, to the mutual disadvantage of the buyers and the sales folks. They are not so convenient to the mass of the people as are parades early in the day. The public safety committee of the city council has been asked to report in an ordinance officially banning afternoon parades. The Star hopes this is done. One man tells us he has 60 many girls’ pictures they make up a regular rouge gallery. - The wires may be down. Lenin hasn't died for several weeks, When Willie voluntarily washes his face, “Chercher la femme.” Be Careful on the Trigger Because a yachtsman refused to halt his motor boat when ordered to do so by a federal prohibition agent, the latter shot him thru the leg. The prohibition agent believed the yachtsman to be a rum-runner—and subsequent events apparently bore out this belief. But— Suppose the yachtsman had been a reputable citizen, engaged in legitimate business or recreation? It is entirely conceivable that he might have been as recalcitrant as the alleged rum-runner. Because Americans have a peculiar feeling of indepen- dence—and frequently refuse to submit to the methods of autocratic government. And, if the yachtsman had been a reputable citizen, one can only suppose that he would have been shot, just as efficiently and thoroly as the alleged rum-runner. Enforcement of the Volstead act is, undoubtedly, highly important. But should it be carried to the extent of violating the very principles on which this republic was founded? ‘This may be an awtul country, but forcigners are paying $1,000 each to get smuggled in. Wonder how congress can tell when it Is not in session? Daugherty’s Danger Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty announces he is going to Ohio soon to make a political speech where he “will exercise freedom of speech.” He says he will tell the truth about war frauds prose- eutions, about the impeachment proceedings brought against him in the house of representatives, and about the Chicago injunction. Fine! We hope he means it. But have a care, Harry! You may have to arrest yourself. May we call the Dardanelles desperate straits? ‘Thanks, Expecting nothing is an excellent way to get nothing.
