Holiday Time The months of July and Au- gust are the two months which people with means and time months are also taken for holi- days but they are not so agree- able. Weather is more change- able and sometimes chilly for bathing, July and August — the two full summer months — are warmer and more agree- able for those who come near a lake or stream so that at all time the water is warmer and so is the air, and after coming out from their dip they can stretch out on a blanket on the beach for a suntan. All of that is pleasing for those who leave shop or office work for months. The change is beneficial to them, returning to their work much refreshed and awaiting for another year to pass on to enjoy, if all is well, another vacation in the future. We believe there is no one more worthy of taking off for a few weeks than the editor and publisher of a paper. A break means much to them to get away from their office, sometimes from criticism for what they publish for the many readers of the paper. There is always something printed which does not please some of their readers even though it is the official organ of the surround- ing community, therefore a break away to them will mean new vigor when again they re- sume their work. When speaking of criticism the correspondents who are sending in their weekly budget are also many times criticized for the reporting of such things as the movement and going about of the people in the dis- trict. At times they feel of- fended giving the impression to the writers that they are surpassing their rights. Maybe so but since we are blessed of living in a land of freedom we take advantage of it. Publish- ers and reports, when in error they are always ready to make amendments to their writing and printing and to submit and ready to apologize for causing grievances due to their mis- takes on their part. With that in mind it should be agreeable to all. Still a Good Selection of Summer LAWN CHAIRS and CHAISSETTES IN STOCK !
