New Law Proposed to Make Gossid
Responsible.

A hold over Senator was in JEFF
ferson City the other day and stat
ed that he would introduce and seek
to pass a bill in the next Legislature
making every one and anyone who
repeats a story rejecting on another
just as responsible in law as if they
originated the story. If this bill be-
comes law it will not be necessa-
ny to run a story down, action can
be had against any person who re-
peats it. The law will presume
that you will investigate a rumor
before you gossip about it, you will
have to pay or prove it. Should
this bill become a law Laddonia
would be a good place for about
twenty-five lawyers until our Cos
sips become tongue broke My, my.
suppose you had to prove all the
gossip you have repeated this week
you would be up against it,
wouldn't you? If you help damage
the reputation of another you
should pay for it. If you kill your
neighbors hogs you pay, why not
pay if you kill your neighbors good
mena? What right have you to re-
peat a rumor that reflects on an
other unless you are prepared to
prove it? The Herald believes the
Senator's bill is a good one, and we
suggest that Laddonians begin now
ignoring gossip that cannot be prov
en- in order to be ready for the new
order of things when it comes

Inexperienced.

Frank ]. Gould, at luncheon at
the Negresco at Nice, said of the flap
per:
wherever the English congregate
they talk of nothing but the fiapper.
The flapper, you know, is their name
for the young girl in shortish skirts
and openwork stockings who still
wears her hair in flap, or plat, down
her back. What amazes all England
today is the fiapper's advanced ideas.
AS there's a new woman, SO there
seems to be new flapper.
1.-TWO new fappers-it's character

in a nursery. The first said as she
toyed with doll:
az don't like Jack. He's 80 crude.
"Crude? How?' said the second
fiapper.

Always Something Sings"

Let me 90 where'er / will
/ hear a sky born music still;
1t sounds from all things old
Itsounds from all things young.
From all that's fair from ali that's
foul
Trills out a cheerful song.
1t is not only in the rose
1t is not only in the bird
Not only where the rainbow CLOVIS
Not in the song of woman heard
But in the darkest meanest things
There Away, Away something
sings.
It's not in the high stars alone
Nor in the cups of budding flow
ers
Nor in the red-breast's mellow tones
Nor in the bow that shine in
shower
But in the mud and scum of things
Thehe Away, Away something
sings. Emerson.

The moment you feel a dull ache

attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
