LEGAL PROBLEMS OF PHOTOG-
RAPHY.

Jack Binms, the wireless hero of
the Republic steamship disaster, is
to get $4,000 as the result of a suit
against a moving picture company
The litigation grew out of the use
of an alleged picture of Binns, in
a film two days after the accident.
If man cam then recover for use
of his picture in photo plays, should
he also have case against news
papers that use his photograph with
out permission? Our courts have
usually said not.
The horde of photographers from
the metropolitan press that gather
at wedding parties and funerals and
dog the steps of notables, often rum
to yellow journalistic excuses. The
newspapers are blamed for this in
trusive spirit Yet if the newspaper
men had their way, most OF them
would cut all this sort of thing out
The picture end of his work doubles
the labors of the city editor.
Over in Germany you can't take a
picture of a man S house without Sc
curing his permission. In this coun-
try a cat may look at king. II
you can look at a president or a gen
eral. you can let the lens of your.
camera perceive him; if you can
draw a picture of notable, it should
be legitimate to let the sum draw
him on your negative.
The victims of this onscious
posing often feel aggrieved at being
put in a ridiculous position. But
American sense of humor saves them
from taking it very seriously.
There would seem to be differ
ence between using a picture in mo-
ton photography, and in newspapers
In the former the public would per-
haps get the impression that a per-
son consented to such snapshots, and
voluntarily exhibited himself for pay.
In the newspaper, snapshots are COM
monty obtained without permission.
so that at least the parties taken
do not appear to have had a share
in the exhibition.

NO MORE SO CENT PIECES /?

According to the treasury depart

presence for small coins is an I'M

Small units Of money may have
some tendency toward economy. A
traveller recently returning from
France where currency is based on

SOLVING MARKETING PROBLEMS

The crop report of the department
products as the yield of American
farms in 1918 But owing to short
crops there is little Indication of
lower prices to the consumer. The
report pertinently suggests that the
high prices paid by consumers, rang
ing from 5 to 500 per cent above the
figures the farmer receives, leaves
ample opportunity for lowering the II
tail price, and at the same time in
There will be no lower cost of
foods until this closer relation be-
tween farm and home is created,
When the farmer receives but $3.50
barrel for apples for which the city
dweller often pays as high as $500,
it looks SIS if the distributing ma
chinery had utterly broken down.
A great many farmers have turned
mortgages into SURPRISES, BY the
simple expedient of cooperative so-
cieties for marketing products. These
study the capacity of all localities,
they prevent gluts in one place and
scarcities in another. The speeula-
tor no longer gets the chance to buy
a surplus in one city for so1ng,
and ship it elsewhere for fortune
But it is hard to believe that this
new prosperity for the farmers does

THE MARVEL OF THE DAWN.

To some people it is one of the
pleasures Of December, that it gives
the chance to see the eternal and
ever new and mystic beauty Of the
sunrise
Do you ever hear any one say
anything abou t seeing the sunrise
now adays? Prospectuses OF popular
resorts mention the sunsets. The
poets sing about sunsets. But if
you want to find any sunrise poetry,
you must go back several generations
No person can any longer keep step
with the social life OF his neighbors,
| if he makes it practice to see
the dawn except in December.
Yet if one had. never seen a sun
rise. its beauty would be classed with
the worlds Niagaras and its Alps.
There is then radiance that appears
only occasionally at sunset The
hours Of night have permitted dit
fusion of moisture, every little par
ticIe of which is rainbow.
Newspaper people usually know
Something about the sunrise. Most
of them had their periods of night
work These hours involve some
separation from the habits Of their
fellow citizens. They work while
others play, sleep while others wake.
| YEARLY they plod home in the
early dawn. 1t often seems cheer-
less enough. If they work and live
among high buildings, there may be
but a reflected glory over the chin
ney tops Yet to great many, the
silent, solitary, morning tramp home
ward has often been solaced by the
East.
The sunset has the melancholy OF
any diminuendo Not merely do the
prismatic colors fade, but there is
an ever growing sense of isolation,
loneliness, separation. The great
Iife-G iver has gone. At the dawn
all is reversed. There is the sense
of growing power and comfort. The
brightness of the rising may fade,
but in it's place there grows ever
more confident the clear white sus-
tanning force of the daylight.
To US it looks as though the trade
of the country is so scattered that
, the town which puts forth the most
effort in that direction will eventual
tly succeed in landing far more than
her legitimate share of business. AT
lpresent, while time hangs ON the
hands of the average man, he takes
time to look around and then spends
his money where it will go the farth'
est and, to US it seems that the mer-
chant who offers him good values
for his money, will eventually reap
golden rewards in the way OF his
future trade This fact We would
impress upon the minds of the peo'
pie and we would also ask them to
aid us in establishing the fact that
in our town. can be found as good
bargains as in any other in this
section
