Is This for Advertisers to Inn
press Them That NeWspa-
pers Are Ideal Mediums.

This week OF October 1924 has been
set aside by the newspapers Of the
United States and Canada as National
Newspaper Window Display Week.
The object of the display is to impress
on national advertisers the fact all
ready known to most retailers that
the newspaper is the ideal advertising
medium. When the national manu-
facturer advertses in the newspap-
ers, the advertising brings business
directly to local stores. 1t is to the
interest of local dealers that the man

Many attractive displays will be
seen in the windows of Clarksburg's
up-to-date retailers this week and
readers of the Telegram should pay
particular attention to these displays.

ENGLISH NEEDS A sTRAlNER
George Fitch Wonders Which Dialect
of the Country Is Nearest
Correct.

The announcement that a society
has been organized in England for the
purpose Of disinterring the English
language from the English pronuncia-
ton will be hailed with deep delight
by Americans
This society means much to us. For
generations Americans have been ac'
cused Of shocking crimes against the
English language According to Eng
lishmen, who get more indignant over
this crime than almost any other ex'
cept that of beating England in ath'
letics, we have racked, manned, twist.
ed, butchered and unjointed their
peerless tongue beyond recognition.
We have admitted this with sorrow,
but when it came to reform we have
been helpless. Which one Of the 79
dialects and contortions Of English
spoken In England have we defaced
Has it been Cornish. Yorkshire, Cock
ney or society English? Has 1t been
Oxford English, Liverpool English. or
stage English? Has it been the Eng.
lish which makes Ids out of all the
ms" or the English which trans
plants Hh's2" Has 1t been the Eng.
lish which uses "brekker" for break.
fast. or that peculiar brand which sub.
stitutes 'nycher'' for nature. "audiins"
for audience, and which says "tup-
pence-haypenny" as confidently as Il It
were spelled that way?
All of this uncertainty has baffied
conscientious Americans In fact, it
has puzzled us to the point of paraly-
sis. But now that Robert Bridges,
the new poet laureate, who seems dis
posed to do something more humane
than anniversary verse, has headed
an expedition for the selection Of a
real English tongue, we may take
hope
There could be no real objection to
talking pure English in this country

among themselves upon the test

There was much sickness in the
fever, highly contagious and one by
one the poorer portions of the town
were put under quarantine. Then one
evening Halstead helped what he
thought to be a drunken man to his
home, and the next day the man came
down with the fever, and within a
week was dead. Within an hour af-
ter Halstead heard this he was on his
way to the woods for what he said
was to be a few days hunting. In
reality, 1t was to watch himself.
One morning before people had be-
gun to appear ON the streets, he stag
gered 10 the sidewalk outside the
fence OF his sisters home, where
Kitty boarded
Mary, oh, Mary ne called. Then
when his sister appeared at the door.

Halstead raised his hand to his
forehead undecidediy. But the voice
had been clear and incisive, and just
now it was easier for him to obey
than to think. So he nodded vaguely
and staggered up the sidewalk Kitty
watched him anxiously until she re-
allied that, in spite OF his wavering
steps, he was heading toward the
cabin. Then she hurried downstairs

Sullivan Visits Orofino.

E. j. Sullivan, of Elk River, spent
Saturday in Orofino in the interest of
his candidacy. He was hopeful of
being nominated, but will not sulk
and fight the ticket or any part of
the ticket if he gets left at the pole
in the primary race. Two things Mr..
Sullivan does not like-.-the malicious
rumors that he is law breaker; that
he is bootlegger, and the other ru-
NOR rejecting on Mr.. Delaney's quail
ifications for Office. One of the first
things Mr.. Sullivan did after reach
ing Orofno Friday evening was tc
hunt up Mr.. Delaney and assure hin
Of loyal support if Mr.. Delaney
proves to be the choice of the republi-
cans at the primary. Mr.. Delaney
gave Mr.. Sullivan the same assurance
of support if defeated, and spent the
evening introducing Mr.. Sullivan
around town. But one of these mer
can win, and both have right to run
and the people will have to decide
which will be their candidate. 1t il
no disgrace to be defeated, and an!
man big enough to hold public offic'
will be big enough to shake hand
the next day and help elect the on
who wins. 1t is gratifying to know
that Mr.. Delaney and Mr.. Sullivan
are showing good horse sense.
