"If you are an inhabitant of such a town and want to advance, move and don't waste any time about it. The second class needs no comment. The third class represents a wonderful possible advancement which is impeded by lack of co-operation." Sometimes it seems as if a city had too many clever and capable people, for too many of them want to be undisputed leaders.

They line up into cliques and factions. If one faction takes up a certain idea, the others are bound to sit back and criticise, if they do not offer open opposition. As it generally takes a union of illi the resources of city to accomplish results, the fpahre, that takes up a new and somewhat revolutionary project for the advancement of the town cannot succeed unless there is wholehearted co-operation. There is always a close margin of safety between MARITAL BATTLE PROBER GOES OUT WITH PEACE PIPE The following item which appeared in a recent issue Angeles is explanatory. Burton C.

McDonald referred to is just plain "Bert Mac," son of Newt McDonald, and born and raised in Burlingame, but a resident of California now for many years. The Express says of him: "Armed with the well-known pipe of peace in lieu of the false whiskers he wore as a detective for the district attorney's office, Burton McDonald, newly appointed "mediator in matrimony," today took up his duties in Judge Summerfield's department of the Superior Court. "As special investigator, McDonald will be connected with the "failure to provide" cases which come into Department 3 for disposition. His will be the duty to investigate marital wrangles, determine whether or not friend husband is supporting friend wife; whether or not the kiddies are being carefully looked after. "Working in conjunction with Miss May Allison, trustee of the Superior Court, McDonald will also endeavor to ascertain causes of non-payment of allowances awarded by court order for the support of minor children as well as other phases that come before the "McDonald for the past three years was employed in the department of investigation in the district attorney's office.

The office he now holds was created by authority of the board of supervision following a request of Judge Summerfield, who pointed out the saving to the county in adjustments without A WOMAN'S EDITORIAL "I wouldn't marry a University woman. She knows too much." "She has equal rights now, let her stand." "A college education ruins a girl." As startling as these statements may seem, they have all been made by men on the hill. This is the attitude a great many men take toward modern woman, especially those women they do not know personally. The modern woman is possessed of equal rights of suffrage, so the critics say, she is fast taking positions in the business world formerly given only to men, and she is fast proving quite as efficient as her predecessor, therefore why should we show her courtesy formerly shown to women of culture? Yes, the man of today has forgotten a great many of the little courteous acts which his grandfather and his father were most proficient in. Those kind, courteous little things that cost so little and meant so much both to the giver and to the recipient.

Is it due to the fact that the modern woman has come to rely so much on own capabilities that she does not demand enough of the opposite sex, or is it due to her pride she merely ignores the fact that she is not receiving all the little courtesies that her mother received, and that she herself would be proud to receive It seems that the man of today does not admire or want the woman with brains and intellect. He wants the woman of the period of the early novel and the Sweet Alice Ben Bolt type who keep a continual stream of tears flowing, and who relied solely upon the opposite sex for her very existence. Men should admire modern woman for being capable enough to take her place in the world as a part of production as well as consumption, for no longer being a parasite, and yet being able to keep true to her sex. Her capabiltiy should call forth more admiration resulting in more courtesy and graciousness, rather than the contempt or indifference with which she is now treated. But does U.

This is exclusive of dialects, and of Indian languages that are now virtually obsolete. Of course this means that America has bit off a big mouthful of Europe.

and Mrs. Hiram Pratt. Since this good couple were married in Burlingame those umpty-odd years ago, many friends in the old town exextend congratulations, and all hope that Mr. and Mrs. Pratt may live to celebrate their golden anniversary.

Pleasant and complete was the surprise planned and executed yesterday by Mrs. Artie L. Hall and Mrs. E. W.

wedding Baysinger in anniversary honor of of their forty parents Mrs. H. B. Pratt of 1025 Gaviota avenue. The house was prettily decorated with ferns, smilax and flowers.

Immediately preceding the delicious dinner the honorees entered the room to the strains of a wedding played by their granddaughter, Miss Bernice Hall. As the party was seated for dinner a number of telegrams of congratulations were handed the host, but among them was one announcing the death of his brother, Henry Pratt of Burlingame, Kansas. This being the only cloud to mar an otherwise perfect day. Those present were Mr. and Mrs.

Copper, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Brown and family, Mesdames Bertha DrewSmith, William Drew, Sanford, Miss Mabel Drew, Mr. Park Smith from Los Angeles, Mr.

Don't Encourage Them Transients with stuff to sell that purchased there in Osage City should not have encouragement of our citizens. The man who carries his stock in a "flivver" and makes the street corner his place of business should be urged, before he has had an opportunity to display his wares, to mov: on to the next town. The peddler with goods slung across his arm or piled in pack on his back should be given to understand that the very streets he walks on are partly paid for by our home-town merchants, and that they, too, help in keeping those streets in repair. The little they pay in license, these transients, doesn't benefit the town enough to warrant their presence. If the license won't keep them out, put it up to where it will.

Facnotional bickering is a damper which soon extinguishes the flame of inspiration and courage in connection with civic progress. While the spirit of factional bitterness referred to does not exist in Anthony to any very great extent, there is some tendency in that direction in most towns which should be checked. People everywhere are inclined to line up in cliques and factions. Then if some one starts anything, people are too often influenced their action by the question of whether the person belongs to their faction or not, without reference to the intrinsic merits of the proposition proposed. All want to see the city in which we live advance.

If any one takes hold of a good idea, he should receive the undivided encouragement and co-operation of every person has the least civic pride or interest, no matter what faction he belongs to. The progressive city should be too broad-minded for bickering and dissention between different factions The chief question we should ask ourselves concerning any project is not, "Who started it?" but "Is it for the best interests of the Anthony (Kan.)

Charles Chaplin in the great picture the world's greatest comedian has been working on for a whole year "THE KID" The daylight trials of motherhood, the midnight trials of paternity are all for Chaplin in this super-comedy.
