judgment that sways an election.
Shall we not say that the uncrowned
king in American economy is public
opinion? So it seems.
But every king has his advisors, his
ministers Of state. Who sits at court
with our king? What favorite bends
his will and dominates his policy? ?
Who are the aristocrats? That advise
public opinion? Evidently the man
who moulds public opinion, the man
who helps the masses to do their think
ing-these are the aristocrats that sur
round our king.

Association, in the name of our mayor,

king As disseminators of public news.
as writer's of thought provoking and
opinion forming editorials you are the
moulders of our public opinion. A
good, healthy, live newspaper emanat-
ing from the heart and wisdom of

greatest public assets and the most
vital element in our national life.

pleased to welcome you to our town
to open our homes and our hearts to

ONE years ago spent part Of my
summer in farmhous. IN the Berk-

vorite pursuits. Some Of the yot1g
people devoted themselves TO long walks
and hill climbing, the boys spent most OF
their time fishing, q few bird lovers and
botanists wandered about with opera
glasses and specimen boxes.
Among them all the one who interested
me most was little woman OF humdrum

two half grown daughters and her small
boy. Every morning she helpedrset them

soon recognized as hers by right Of adop-

she had a pleasant view OF meadow and
woodland, and there she sat by the hour and
sewed on endless garments for her children
and herself. At dinner time she came to
the table. but returned to her nook imme-

your mind to learn something about the
