DIBBs GETS
A NEW IDEA.

NJ his Office
OF course, he was busy. Dibbs is
always busy. He keeps two stenog-
raphers busy.
One of them, with,a pile of letters
beside her, was hard at work on q
Remington. Dibbs was debating to
the other, and there was a larger pile
OF letters on his desk.
! looked at this pile.
Dibbs," asked, do you intend
TO take care of all that correspond
ence today?"
"Yes,' he said.
"Thc typewriter is a great labor
aver, isn't it."
He assentcd.
"You would find it impossible to
do your work without the typewriter,
wouldn't your"
Again he assented.
/ love to argue with Dibbs, so I
put over this one.
Dibbs," | said, Z" I disagree with
you absolutely. | believe you could
get through your daily work without
the typewriter just as well as you do
now"
Impossible said Dibbs. He was
primed and ready for an argument.
picked up the pile of letters on
his desk and thumbed them over.
: nibbs and | are old chums, so can
take such liberties. Ii was formid-
able pile, but there wasn't a PEN
2 written letter in the lot.
=" Every letter typewriter" l said.
I Suppose none of them were type
written. Do you think there would
be so many?"
:, He hadn't thought of that.
4. Dibbs," | continued, this sub
ject interests me and l have lately
been collecting some facts about the
typewriter. The industry was found
ed by the advent of the Remington
Typewriter in 1873. That is nearly
= 20 years ago, isn't it!
A Dibbs, like the fair-minded soul
he is, allowed that my arithmetic
= seemed to be correct.
= There have been some happen
ings," | went on, in. those 20 years.
The total business of the world in
! that time has increased six fold. The
total wealth of nations has increased
! three fold. Has il ever occurred to
syou that the typewriter has had some
/, thing to do with it? "
Dibbs," l said, warming to my
subject, you call the Remington
Typewriter a labor saver. That's
what everybody calls it. Honestly,
now, isn't that faint praise for the
machin. which has virtually created
the world of modern business? Labor
fsaver, is it? Then if you didn't have
1.-THE typewriter, il would only be a
case of needing more labor. / tell
you, if you didn't have it you couldn' {
get the labor, for there isn't enough
intelligent hand labor in all the world
20 do what the typewriter does. Not
saver, but creator. is what call the
writing machine"
" No, Dibbs, think you and every
business man owes a little more to
the inventor OF the Remington Type
writer than simply the saving Of your
time and labor. As for the labor
saving, you would do your days work
just as well without the typewriter.
But il wouldn't be the same days
work. True, the machine does your
work, but better still, it paEsJ your
Vork. and that is where your profit
les"
And then | left Dibbs to think il

Prof. Matney Severely Beaten
at Alexandria.

Prof. A. G. Matney, Assistant
principal of the Franklinton Higl
School, was severely beaten
Thursday night on the traffic
bridge between Alexandria and
PinevIlIe bv a man named ". +.
Jordan.
Mr.. Jordan claimed that Mat.
ney had followed his wife across
the bridge to her home and in.
suited her. Matney was carried
to a sanatarium where nine
stitches had to be taken on his
head where his assailant had
struck him with a picket.
Prof. Matney together with
Prof st. Amant. both teachers
of the Franklinton High School,
were in attendance of the Teach
ers Association which met at
Alexandria. Prot. St. Amant
made a thorough investigation
of the affair and he found that
Matney was a victim Of circum'
stances and was not the man who
had insulted Mr.. J0rdan's wife.
The following is an extract
from a letter written to a relative
by Prof. j. w. Bateman of Match.
itoches:
Your Assistant Principal,
Mr.. Matney, was the victim of a
very unfortunate affair in Aelx.
andria last Thursday afternoon.
/ was there and knew all
about it and think it was unjust
and unwarranted assault on an
innocent man. l hope that it
will not affect Mr.. Matney's
standing in the community nor
interfere with his school work
as | am fully convinced that 1t
was a deplorable mistake on the
part of his assailant.
