News Always News.

This query often comes to every
newspaper, says the Kewanee, ILL.,,
Sta Courier: why is it this or
that organization gets so much space
in the paper, when the work We are
doing is only mentioned now and
them"
The answer is generally easy. II
is efficient press agent work and
nothing else. There is no favoritism.
The people in charge of the work OF
some organizations know news and
they are not afraid to see that it
gets into the newspaper. They know
the value of publicity. Others shrink
back at the sight of the reporter.
and they wouldn't think of calling up
the newspaper office and telling that
they know of things of public inter-
est. Yet they wonder why other
organizations are getting publicity.
1t is true of civic organizations, OF
churches, OF lodges, of clubs, and it
is true of people, of individuals.
News is always news and news
paper is printed to give the news. No
one will think you immodest if you
call up the Office and tell us what
you know.

SEPTEMBER.

September days again are here,
reminding us another year is slipping
by as years will do, despite the fact
that Gwen and Sue are just as far
from Hymen's call as either were
this time last fall. The kidlets, too
wear faces sad, for almost every lass
and lad must now give up vacation
days and figure all the different ways
of having fun upon the sly and not
attract the teachers eye. And we
who've worked the blessed year re-
greet to see the end draw near, for
while we know not where it went,
we haven't saved a bloomin' cent.
To the older heads who have lived
through forty or more Septembers,
the months memories are filled with
thrills-and chills. Forty years
ago, anyone who couldn't have a
chill every other day in September
was truly out of style and a peculiar
character. We then used to find a
comfortable seat astride red-hot
stove about nine O'Clock every other
morning and sit there, trying to keeI
from freezing to death until noon
After dinner we changed our posi-
ton. The afternoons were spent il
the refrigerator, where we reposeC
with a chunk of ice at one end, {
palm leaf fan at the other, and ever
then felt that we might burst into
flames at any moment. The young
er generation has no idea of what Il
has missed since science has eradi
Gated September's chills and fevers.
The sun comes later every morn
that each of autumn's days are born
and too, with haste he fades away
and shortens every autumn day
With shorter days the clouds arise
and throw their shadows from the
skies; we feel chill upon the breeze
and note the fading summer trees;
Dame Natures robe grows sombre
sere, reminding us Jack Frost is
near.

'It looks like rain!''

"The weather."
The weather, my dear sir, is a

of falling from the clouds. 1t is
impossible that they should look
alike
What l meant was that the sky
looked like rain
Equally impossible. The sky is
the blue vault above us-the seem
ing arch or dome that we call the
heavens. 1t does not resemble fall
ing water in, the least

deringly particular, it looks as if it

Tourist Travel.

1t is not to be overlooked, while
calculating the loss in international
trade, that substantially $15O,0O0,-
600 for foreign travel will be saved
the coming year, and that for many

enough to cut figure in the inter-

A Coming Attraction.

Manager The Under Dog Co.
Comedy Theater, Chicago, III.
My Dear Sir:-I take the liberty
of writing voluntarily to commend
your production of The Under Dog
The play, it seems to me, is power
full dramatic presentation of the con-
ditions that have prevailed in the
prison system of the past. | regret
to say that many of these abuses
still continue, and the public is bound
to be benefited by witnessing the eff
feet produced by the treatment which
is too often accorded to men who
have been convicted of crime. For
the past fourteen years l have dealt
personally with more than ten thou
sand of these men, and l know any
number of instances in which the
first offender has been made a per-
manent criminal by such i'll treat
ment.
Fortunately, the author, Miss Mar
shall, has not only portrayed the i'll
effects of these abuses, but she has
shown the possibilities of reforma-
ton under the application of modern
ideals. Your play is destined. | be-
lieve, to accomplish more good than
many sermons might do in its effec-
tive preaching of the Brotherhood
of Man and application of the Col
den Rule.
Trusting THE Under Dog" will
have the wide popularity it deserves,
and thanking you for your energet-
ic and effective presentation of the
drama, l remain,
Sincerely yours,
F. EMORY LYON,
Superintendent.
The above attraction will be seen
at the Grand in DEBORAH in the near
future.

MOVIE SHOW PESTS.
How to Make Yourself Conspicuous
at the Picture Show,

Isn't it annoying, when you go to
the moving picture shows, to be con-
founded with the people who go in
just to enjoy themselves? Such
persons enter, get their seats with
the least possible disturbance and
sit quiet thereafter. No other per-
sons are aware Of their presence. OF
course, you don't want to 60 that
way, or to remain there in such an
inconspicuous manner. There are
several things to be done if the prop
er effect is desired. First, come in
late; your arrival is more important
than any thing that can be thrown
upon the screen. Then push down in
front of at least half dozen people
they will at once be impressed with
your Importance Then proceed at
once to tell what bum show it is !;
every one within your hearing will
be impressed with your wisdom as a
critic if some crouch cusses you
lay it to his ignorance; he doesn't
know any better. OF course, you are
en- to all the fine points of scenarios
and plots and could give pointers to
the men who devised the films and
the more forcibly you make these
matters plain the more likely others
are to give credence and homage to
your superior discernment.
On entering the theatre make as
much noise as possible. Thus you
will advise others of your presence
and escape being introduced.
If feasible, trip over a foot on the
way down the aisle. If no strange
foot is convenient, trip over one of
your own.
Be leisuerly in taking your seat
and stand in the aisle as long as
possible. This will teach a lesson in
patience to those behind you.
Talk loud enough so that those
about you can hear. Anything worth
saying should have carrying power.
AS the scenes are shown make a
quick guess in advance and tell your
neighbor what will happen. A tip
in advance helps him to appreciate
what follows.
If a comedy displeases you say
Low brow! Low brow! Low brow!''
as loudly as possible. This will alb
solve you from any blame for the
production of the picture.
Look for flaws in all the pictures
and pay no attention to the general
excellence of the scenes. This will
convince those about you that you
are a discriminating critic.
If you are disposed to be original
remark casually to any listener that
Moving pictures are in their in
fancy"
Remember at all times that the
pictures are for your entertainment
exclusively. The rest of the audience
is not worth a thought.
When leaving the play house re-
mark that you could write a bet
ter scenario yourself"
