A HINT OF COMING COMPETITION.

A Des Noires church has installed
a moving picture machine and will seek
to attract young persons and children
to worship by means Of moving pic
lures. The scheme is a good one. 1t
will draw the young and attract their
elders Whether those who come to see
the pictures will remain to worship
may be predetermined but those who
come for one reason or another will
see clean pictures with a purpose in
them and in a place and atmosphere
which can not fail to affect for the
better Never fear, the people will
come to the picture show. Why not:
If current events. news. science. are to
be aided an ILLUSTRATED BY the latest
pictorial invention why not religion?
There is suggestion to the picture
show man in the beginning made at
Des Moines. 1t is only step from the
agement and supported by those who
object to much of the tawdiy and in
some cases degenerative stuff which
some moving picture show proprietors
and film makers seem 10 think ut for
children. In more than ore town the
suggestion Of picture show thus oper-
ated and financed has been and is ocinG
seriously considered When such
movement actually takes growth it will
spread rapidly and prove serious COM
petition-because it can be made free
if neces sary. The time is quickly ccm-
ing when the film companies and the
moving picture man vii! ae a natter
Of mere self protection elevate the
character of the photo play.
And in this connection the propri-
etors of billiard room and other amuse-
ment places may look about and ahead
Of the present. The church and cilurC II
men are learning fast. The ancient
idea that croCuet and Billiards and pool
are essentially divided by a great gulf
is rapidly giving way to the under
standing that the place where they are
played is the nub Of the whole matter.
The time arrives when places OF
amusement will be undertaken and
maintained b. the same forces which
are edging up to the picture show,
places where no profit will be expected
and where the Objectionable will be
eliminated The Y. NJ. c. A. is already
| in that competition. Should the
churches enter it the competition would
| be severely felt by those who live by
! the purveying of these aInusements.
The vital part of the suggestion is
that picture shows and pool halls will
do well to heed the character of the
pictures and of their patrons, to keep
minors out or make their places such
as minors may be permitted to visit
lest a worse thing happen to them

TRY THREE GUEsSES.

A man ought to get something be-
his work. Wages isn't enough. y mill
lion isn't enough. There ought to be
something more. There must be If the
work is to endure Nobody ever made
q perfect thing for mere wages. A
man must want to do the thing. The
fellow in school who has but one idea,
that of squeezing thru is a purposeless
sort and doesn't really get anything
but his marks. He may come out aft
erwards and amount to something, but
If he does he will not be working only
for the days job and watching the
clock.
No man ever shod a horse right SIM

good book for the money. Sure enough
Doctor Johnson wrote Rasselas to give
his mother comforts in her last illness
and pay the funeral expenses, but he
wasn't working for wages. He was
working for his mother. Scott wrote
merely for money after his big failure
and the line where he stopped writing
with a great purpose and began count
ing words as pence Is definite. He
never wrote great book for wages.

men out Oh ten are disappointed in

man who has fought his way from
the bottom up and woman who, in

are bitter disappointments to them
selves and a burden on the rest Of the
community? Nature gets back at folks
who think Of nothing but the material

the most costly motor cars and the
biggest bank accounts. She gives them
their own choice. they get the things
they desired most only to find when
they have them that there were other
things they wanted more If they had
stopped to reason.
Fact is that the man who gets the
poorest pay Of all men is the one who
works for the wage and has nothing
else in his labor. There must be some
thing else in it in order to do the best
work and attain the best returns. What

We will admit that there are gen

year that the roads are not the pest
for hauling heavy loads, but we never
saw any very attractive prices OF pro-

that time.

surplus money from this auto tax COZ

twenty year bonds. as it Is a question

thick which would make 1t still more
