FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920 Lent Observance In certain church sects men and women are spending the day in pray- er and consideration of their short- comings, striving through a spiritual inventory to secure a footing upon a higher plane of Christian life than they have had before. They are measuring themselves by the Master whom they profess to serve and vow- ing anew allegiance to the precepts which He laid down for the faithful. In other church groups Ash Wednes- day means little except the beginning of Lent and the foreunner of Easter. There is little or no observance of the forty days of trial as a preparation for the rejoicing of the Eastertide. To us all, churchmen or not, the Lenten season of self-denial could be observed with profit and general ad- vantage. We need a season of quiet and weighing of self and the things of the earth in the balance with those enduring things of the spirit which we have been so busy losing Mnoe the war's end put a stop to the fervor of patriotism and unselfish- ness that a great common cause had developed in us. Whether we call it observance of the Lenten period or by other name, a six weeks of in- trospection and of serving the spirit would advance us in our spiritual life in a way that we very much need to be advanced. PITY THE LEISURE RICH The wealthy business man who works stimmers and frolics at Palm Beach in winter has no advantage over Frank J. Pie&en and Muthevy Meier, two local boys. Their idea of life is quite similar: Drive a cool ice wagon during hot summer months and enjoy themselves during the win- ter at San Pedro, Cal. They write their parents they may return to Wilmette about April, when it will be hot enough to be uncomfortable to less fortunate people.

There were not funds sufficient to keep them up to standard. As a result the service of public utilities was greatly impaired and much time and money will be required for their restoration. In the meantime the public is inconvenienced. America has been more fortunate. Her wire using companies have been excellently well main-, tained. This has been due to untiring effort and vigilance upon the part of operating officials and the public's willingness to pay liberal rates. The Telephone Company must continue to charge rates sufficient to maintain good service, since every element entering into that service costs more than it did six months ago, and costs are still advancing. The successful telephone company must have the cordial co-operation of its patrons, particularly with. respect to the payment of fair rates.
