THIS HERO

a nurse at the Gary General hospital,

Miss Smith smiled. That smile, Rugf

NEWSPAPERS ARE LOYAL

If the people Of any community
We're as loyal to the interests of
their town or city as the newspaper
what @ splendid competition this
country would see. But they are
not. Nor is any considerable part
Of the people. Nor are all the busi-
ness men and manufacturers. That
town succeeds just in proportion
to the zeal with which its leading
citizens back up the patriotism of
its newspapers.
The true newspaper devotes col
umns and pages Of space to boost
ing the city N which it is publish
ed. The most loyal and devoted boos
ters Of any city are found in its news
paper offices. There is a sneering
class of people in every city who,
finding no good in anything, decry
the newspapers as mongers of sen
sations and as destroyers of char
acter They demand the news, and
5he newspaper that is a faithful mir
for holds up to its readers the re
Election Of their own doings. If the
community is bad its newspaper
pages may show some Of it. If it
is good its news articles viii show
it.
But the paper itseIf-it is far in
advance Of the procession, With
here and there a yellow exception,
it stands for the better things, stands
increasingly for the betterment OF
business conditions. constantly seeks
to bring more business to the town.
Better than that, it stands for the
moral upbuIding Of its citizenship,
stands for better civic conditions.
In many cities the editors have an
uphill task, and a lonesome one.
There are times when the most de
voted newspaper man will lose faith
in the value of publicity, But, hon
est publicity never fails and, in the
end, honest and enthusiastic devotion
20 a city's interests will awaken suf-
ficient spirit among the people actu-
ally to accomplish things.

THE GULL|BLE
PUBLIC

Safe breaking and second story
burglary are getting to be an obso-
Iete method of crime They bear the
same relation to Twentieth century
swindhng that old fashioned hand
work does to modern labor saving
machinery.
The report just presented by R. S.
Sharp, chief post office inspector
says that the gullible American pub
lie gave up $77, ,OOO,O last year to
Get Rich Quick men.
The ease with which these gentle
men work the Great American Suck
er is simply astounding A Canaan
Of financial milk and honey lies be
fore the man who possesses nerve,
imagination, and a five dollar bill.
One favorite method of making a
million on five dollars is to organize
a company to promote a summer re-
sort or suburban colony near some
large city. You get an option on
some abandoned farm No cash need
be paid, the liberal allotment in the
stock OF the dream company is e.
nough. You get some fmpecunious
craftsman to draw plans of a ho-
tel and cottages. A few shares of
stock requites him.
The first expenditure of cash other
than a few postage stamps, comes
when you walk up TO a newspaper of
flee and insert an advertisement in
Business Opportunities. This may
cost you the sum Of one dollar You
advertise for some gentleman with
$4,000 to join you in a conserVa-
tive enterprise paying five hundred
per cent. From the many replies yoU
will get enough cash to take suite

JUST HOME

1t may be mOrtgaged to grinding
poverty; the door may be unlatched
to anxiety want and pain; sulIen sor-
row may sit brooding at the hearth
but home is home!
Maybe, after all, one lot in life
is not much better or worse than an
other, so far as real happiness goes;
but there are some things that seem
very necessary to US, and that little
corner in Gods creation We call home
is one of them.
Home, whatever its hardships, is
the best place this side of heaven.
Plenty, comfort, luuxuries, culture,
are good to have But there is not
enough of all these in all the world
to recompense the loss of the simp-
lest joys of the humbIest home that
is lit and warmed by love.
Prosperity is a prescious blessing
to those worthy Of it and able to
stand it. But all the wealth of mines
and farms and factories cannot give
such genuine and enduring satisfac-
tion to the soul as does the wealth
Of love and faith and sacrifice that
makes the home the hearts true hav
en-.
The stately mansion, with its rich
carpets, its rare pictures, and all
the Iuxuries and baubles that money
buys, cannot make a true home, I'M
less love is its hearth-glow, fidelity
the stout door that shuts out the
worlds coIdness and wrongs, and
faith the staunch roof that defies
the storms.
Love, fidelity and faith are the
only treasures indispensable to the
real home of any heart, says Charles
Grant Miller in Womans World.
These, in the humblest cottage
these, houseless beneath the bleak
sky-these, Shelter s=ss, NAKED, arr
ing-these make a happy home, any
where.
The real life is not outside ourselV
es, but within
The real possessions are not what
the hands may grasp, but what the
heart holds.

establish a fat bank deposit, acquire
financial testimonials, and incorpor-
ate your company, Fifty per cent
OF the sale of shares goes to adver-
tlsing, and fifty per cent you can
salt away in some bank in Buenos
Ayres or Melbourne.
The post office even more than the
newspaper is the means by which
this modern safe breaking is per
formed. Mailing lists, technically
known as sucker lists" consisting
of names of people who have money
but no financial judgment, have been
valued at 100000 by these people.
Some of them send out two hundred

ten thousand persons.
The moral of all this-for the

with the life insurance policy, is
Don't buy any kind of stock OF bonds
unless your home banker says it is
all right

SNOW WHITE
AND THE SEV-
EN- DVARFS

The Operetta given in the Lincoln
building Saturday night by pupils of
the Public schools under the super
vision Of Miss Reeves was largely
attended and great success from
all standpoints
The leading roles were taken by
Mary Jones, Cecil Eggert, Harold
BabcOck, and George Mullen. Each
character was we'll chosen for the
part and this fact connected with
the natural ability of the performers
rendered very pleasing and cred
liable performance.
The seven dwarfs afforded much a.
musement for the grown-ups as we'll
as the small folks on the front row.
The chorus showed careful train
ing and added materially to the gen
eraI effects. The chorus was COM
posed of children from all grades,
and many of them being very tiny
made them more interesting.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Have you heard of the town of
No Good,
On the banks of the river Slow,
Where the some-time-or-other
scents the air,
And the fragrant hearts-ease grow?
It lies in the valley of What's-the-
Use,
In the province of Won't be Wise,
It's the home of Old-Fogyism,
Where the men won't advertise.
The town is as old as the human
race,
And it hasen't improved with years,
It's hid in the fog of Idler' s-dream,
And it's streets are sprinkled with
tears.
It's merchants sit in easy chairs
And talk with their customers three
There's nothing humming in this
town,
Save the hum Of the busy bee.
His shelves contain last years
goods,
All covered with dirt and dust,
Sometimes a customer buys yard
He does it because he must.
Do you live in this town OF No
Good,
On the banks of the river Slow,
Where business is conducted on
the same old plan
Twas fifty years ago?
Where nothing important happens
On the banks of this sluggish stream
Where there is never a rush OF
business
And life is one long dream?
Would you leave this sleepy old
town,
Be up to date and be wise?
Then bear in mind this motto,
1T pays to advertise
Anon.
