RELIEF REPAID.
It is probably true that
the relief rolls contain the
names of many people who
have not the stigntest sense
of gratitude to the taxpay
ers for keeping them alive.
But there are some relief
clients who do have a very
lively realization of what
they owe their fellow citi
zens, and it is heart-warm
ing to read tbout them.
A Milwaukee woman, for
instance, wrote to the coun
tv board recently and ask
ed permission to adopt two
dependent children. She
related that she and her
husband had been on relief
for a time and that they felt
indebted to the county.
Now her husband is work
ing, and she wants to pay
the debt by relieving the
county of the care of a cou
ple of orphans.
Here is a woman with a
fine conception of citizen
ship. It is a safe guess that
any children adopted by
her will go into a splendid
home and will grow up to
become useful, substantial
men and women.
AN UNBUILT RAILROAD
Plans for building a rail
road from Spokane through
British Columbia and the
Yukon River section into
Alaska, have just been un
covered by someone pleas
antlv prowling among old
provincial archives in Vic
toria. The find reveals the
forgotten fact that in 1886
the United States congress
appropriated $100,600 for
exploration of the project.
The discovery is of histori
cal interest, but comes too
late for practical use. By
all accounts the existing
railroads are having all
they can do to keep going
against inland waterways
and motor competition.
That old railway plan was
sound enough in its day;
but at this stage of the pro
ceedings it would seem
best to concentrate efforts
on the Alaska-Yukon high
way.—Seattle Times.
Most of the good extem
poraneous speeches are
well-thought out ahead of
time.

Bov Of Six
Proves He Is
Real Trooper
Humboldt, la., Jan. —It
was his first appearance be
fore the footlights, but 6
vear-old Edward Snyder of
Humboldt, Iowa, proved he
was a trooper. During the
recent presentation of a
drama, in which Edward
was one of a cast of 80 ama
teur players, he noticed
that one of his teeth was
wobbly. Stepping behind
the scenes he borrowed a
flashlight, a mirror and a
pair of pincers—and in a
moment had extracted the
loose member. Then lie re
turned to the stage and the
show went on.
