MUCH TO BE THANKFUl"FOR
Shelton has made a better showing of business ex-
pansion during the year than most towns of its class, as
evidenced by the three new buildings completed and of-
fording quarters for nine new stores, and it has another
in prospect in the new post office building for which
ground was broken this week. All the new building has
been on the fireproof order and to that extent has lessen-
ed the fire danger in the business district. The com-
munity, however, has not made as good a showing, in home
biulding and is still lacking in accommodations for new
families when they come here• The next move should
be in the line of some modest moder homes that would
appeal to tenants and earn better rentals than the glass of
rental houses now available.
The new post office building Will add another to the
permanent buildings of the community, ample for.the
town to expand to several times its present size, aa,d
should be a matter of congratulation to Shelton people,
We should be proud of our Hotel, Bank, Library, Hospi-
tal and our general stpres for their class and service, and
we will be proud of the new post office building and its
equipment when completed, as well as of the proposed
new Memorial building. Each of these leave nothing fur-
ther to be desired in their direction'and our people may
turn their attention to needed improvement in other
ways.
While 1921 has not been as "rosy" as the year pre-
ceding, and this community has suffered some handicaps,
in summing up at its close Shelton will find much to be
thankful for•
Now to boost the Soldiers' Memoriai Fund.
PLENTY OF WORK'FOR ALL
It is hard to appreciatethe unemployment situation
reported in some sections when noting that large bodies
of men are striking against any reduction from war.time
wages and refusing to Work :or let others work;, 'thus
hindering their own as well as all allied industries. If the
labor' troubles were adjusted there would pl:01Jallyiibel
work for all men and at wages which would afford profit
to the laborer as in war-time. - ..........
SHALL WE COMPLETE THE GAP? ,
Before the end of the current year the state's paving
plan for this biennium, so far as Mason County is c0n-
cerned, will be completed and nothing more can be ex-
pected on the Olympic Highway during 1922.--unless
Mason County people decide to carry out their original'
intention in the voting and issue of bonds under the Car-
lyon law proposal. :
The understanding under which the bonds were
voted was that the funds of this county would be matched
by federal aid and paving of the highway would be pos-
sible at least as far as Shelton• It will be recalled that
the Carlyon plan was voted down in the state and to that
extent the original plan cannot be carried out• Now,
however, the federal aid is available and if desired can
be secured to match the county funds and complete the
paving to Shelton next year.
The last legislature came to our aid and will this
year complete about eleven miles of paving on the Olym-
pic Highway, nearly four of which are in Mason County,
leaving less than eight miles to connect with Shelton and
this county has saved a good share of the funds intended
for the purpose. The question will,, ddibtless soon come
up as to the intention of Mason County to issue more of
its waiting bonds :and join with the federal aid to com-
plete the paving next year rather than wait for the action
of the next legislature.
That such a step 'is very desirable will not be ques-
tioned, that the advantage of the perfect highway may
be enjoyed and the "agony" :of poor roads and detours be
ended as soon as possible. The experience of this sum-
mer proves that our counities have lost thousands of
dollars and our pe0pte(!iljen heavily taxed by the ineon-
vemeces of thisi:,s:lone,, and:while the: wb/-st is
over ,:to have the i":"' ' om 1
... ...... t g:.tc peted next ear will be

" ..... :'::':'" WHAT OF 19227
That 1920 was bad, we know; that 1921 "is not so
bad," we all realize, and now the question arises--what
about 1922? Will it see more of the same, or will thai
long delayed prosperity materialize in this year/to come,
asks the Industrial Review• :
Employers, employes and the countrr at large are
anxious to see the end of the trying readjustment days•
They want to see days of plenty of obs and a normal
demand for output; of reasonable prices with money to
pay for them. ,,

THE COUNTRY PAPER'S FIELD
An exchange which reached this
office last week contained a long let-
ter from a subscriber who was tell:
ing th e editor of that .paper just
what the paper ought to: contain in
order to fulfill its missio,n as a coun-
try paper.
First, this subscriber would have
the paper furnish all the loenl news,
free and fearlessly presented; then
he would add the' state 'ews ', then
the national and lastly the interna-
tional news.
When this was dbnethe paper
could sit back and coast....: ..
Most of' thi:pape2 cming un'der
the classificati6n of"Coufitry'papdrs"
find it a man-sized job ib mak6:eight '
or twdlve pages every week keep the
salary checks circulating around the
office every week. They find that lo-
cal news and advertising, the latter
relating materially to the checks
mentioned above, fill these pages
pretty full.
If country papers attempted to
furnish state, national and interns:
tional news in large enoughl quanti-
ties to do their subscribers .much
good, they wouldn't last a month. '
Country papers are .not !in compe,
tition :with city papers which pay
thousands of dollars every year "to
secure state, national and "internation-
al news. Nor are city.papers in corn,
etition with country papers. Each
ave their field. •
There are still many country pa-
pers which might be called a joke,
but the number is lessening every
year as papers adopt business meth-
ods. There are some who think the
country paper could be doric away
with entirely but when that (lay
comes it will be a sad day for com-
munity life in America for there is
nothing that is contributing more, or
can contribute more to community
life than a good country paper. Its
field is the little country community
in whch it lives; there it has a field
which will take all the time and
energy of the man at its head. It
should know what is going on in
state and nation and encourage oth-
ers to know but to provide that
I knowledge is utterly impossible.--
