Homer Croy, the well known maya

that II he could get scooped so easily
that he would never make a good
newspaper man, so he hit straight

a merry life on the $25 as long as it
lasted. Then one morning he discoy-
cred that he had only S225. With that
he started out to get a Job. but he
found that the town could get along
surprisingly well without his as

street, looking for light, indoor en-
ployment, he wrote funny stuff for

j re FILM
GREAT TEACHER
WITHOUT WORDS
A New Force in CiviCs-Possi-
biIity of Power for Good,
Wholesome Amusement.

The moving picture film is firmly
established as a means of wholesome
amusement BY most people 1t is
never thought of as anything else.
1t came as a toy. 1t is asserting Itself
as a teacher by demonstratlon-the
most direct and forcible of teachers.
1t can tell through rhe eye, without
single spoken WORD, more than words
ever could convey. 1t does not
preach. 1t shows. The effect is not
to be escaped.
Two years ago it began to assert
itself in commercial salesmanship. 1t
enabled a manufacturer in Portland,
Maine, to show his factory, in opera
ton, to a man in Portland, Greg. It
sprang into that use so widely that
to-day the business of commercial
demonstration calls for more mil
lions Of feet than all the theaters put
together.
About the same time-late in 1911
the Rev. Clark Thomas put picture
show into the Sunday school Of his
church at Elgin, Ill. Last month 500
Methodist clergymen. in convention,
formally resolved to adopt that fea-
ture in their several charges.
The public schools in several States
have installed film plants for teach
ing geography and history.
In private houses it has pushed
aside the old stereoptfcon 1t is push
ing its way far beyond the limits of
the theater. So far that the film
makers have been put to it to find
subjects that would command and
hold public interest. The Wild West
has been exhausted. Scenario writ
ers have been taxing their brains for
new treatment of topics in the old
range. and breaking the chains OF
convention that hitherto have held
him down He is finding his power
to express the truth in the ethics in
civic morals, in the things of real life.
This White Slave story is one of his
first awakening efforts.
HIS new significance may as well be
recognized at once. He is not going
to run wild, but no one can stop him,
now or later. He is a force, and can
be made to do inestimable good in
domains where no other force, no Ia
Dor, no propaganda, no movement for
civic or moral or hygienic uplift has
yet been able to accomplish anything
worth while.
Public exhibitions of Traffic in
Souls" have been made in 40 cities.
To those who sit SNUG in sheltered
homes its pictures would show the
awful trade that swirls around them,
all unknown. The exhibition can have
but one effect. Nobody can see il
without flush of shame and rage
that the things it shows should be.
From that to action is a short step.

Whiskey Interests are Squallins.

A reader sends us the follow
ing letter which we publish that
the public may see just how the
whiskey dealers are trying to
defeat the bills introduced in
congress to make it unlawful to
make or sell liquor in the United
States.
The writer received a letter
Yesterday from a whiskey distil-
lery in Covington, KY, contain
ing a blank to be signed and
sent to our congressman and to
Our two senators from this state.
Information at the top of the
blank led me to think the whisk-
ey dealer is getting scared. The
instructions read as follows:
House Joint resolution 1853
was introduced by Congressman
Hobson of Alabama; senate
joint resolution 88 was introduc-
ed by Senator Sheppard, of
Texas. These two resolutions
provided for the submission by
congress for ratification by the
legislatures of three fourths of
the states of an amendment to
the United States constitution
providing for nation wide pro-
hibition of the manufacture and
sale of wine, beer and other fer
mented and distilled liquors ex-
cept for mechanical, scientific
and medical purposes. Senate
!oint resolution so is offered by
Senator Works, of California.
All are measures supported by
the antisaloon leaqu, and other
dry" organizations, which are
flooding congress with letters
and kilograms urging their pass
age. No state denies to the in
dividual the right to use liquors.
The right to use necessarily
implies the right to purchase.
The right to purchase Is of small
avail if this attempted national
legislature, by prohibiting man
ufacture and sale should make
1t impossible to purchase. We
urge you to protest this sumptu-
ary legisIatson which effects the
right of each individual to regu-
late his own conduct. We urge
YOU to detach the slip below.

Cedar Rust Law Upheld.

The question OF the validity OF the West
Virginia cedar rust" law, which has
caused bitterness throughout the State
between fruit-growers and owners OF
cedar trees, was passed upon last week
by Judge J. Nj. Woods in the Circuit
Court OF Berkeley county. The court
held that the law is constitutional
The law was passed by the Legislature
to protect fruit growers from injury by
reason OF the so-calIed cedar rust and
other infectious plant diseases, and pro-
vided that cedar and other trees harbor-
ing such diseases might be destroyed
under certain conditions without COM
pensation to their owners. Attempts
have been made to put the law into op-
Grafton in various parts OF the State, but
in Berkeley county it met with great re-
sistance, resulting in much litigation in
the circuit court.
In the suit OF N. Willis Busey, of Berke-
ley county, for an Injunction against the
State Crop Pest Commission, which is
in charge of the enforcement OF The law,
and in which Judge Woods some time
ago granted an injunction against the
commission TO prevent further destruc-
ton OF trees upon Mr.. Busey's premises,
the court modified the injunction so as to
compel the Crop Pest Commission to
comply with those provisions OF the law
which contemplate the protection OF
cedar and other trees rot infected by
diseases.

School Fair at Shepherd College.

PlanS are Delng mace 10 nold a Scnool
fair at Shepherd College on November 5,
6 and 7, when the students will exhibit
the best of their farm products and the
best of their skill in the culinary art. Mr..
Shipman, the State Agricultural Agent
for Jefferson county, is cooperating with
the school authorities TO make this an
nual fair the best and largest OF any year.
Besides the satisfaction of being a prize
winner, there will be generous money
prizes discussed TO those who have Win
ming articles.
Only students will be allowed to place
an exhibit; however, the articles so dis
played need not be entirely OF the STU
dents growing or cultivation. This ap-
plies to fruit, vegetables, etc. For the
items OF sewing and cooking, students
will be obliged to present the results OF
their own efforts.
A feature OF this years fair will be a
competition between the graded schools
of the Shepherdstown district for the best
general display. II is planned that each
room in the town school shall be con-
sidered as unit and each rural school as
a unit, thus placing all on an equal basis
in the chance for the award. The award
in this case is expected TO be very gener-
Gus, being possibly trophy which will
be the property of the school winning it
for this year and reverting to the college
next fall to be Rewarded TO the school
having the best exhibit next fall.
The following list OF exhibits has been
posted by the committee:
|. Best 10 ears OF white corn.
2. Best 10 ears OF yellow corn.
3. Grand champion ear OF corn in the
show.
4. Best three pounds OF butter.
5. Best exhibit OF garden vegetables.
6. Best display OF apples.
7. Best plate OF Black Twigs.
s. Best plate Of York Imperials.
9. Best plate OF Ben Davis.
10. Best plate OF Grimes Golden.
II. Best general display by any school
in Shepherdstown district.
II. Contest for boys and girls in judg-
ing corn.
Is. Best poster advertising the fair.
II DIaip aud foncv CPWiuU
10. Best cake.
16. Best bread or rolls.
II. Largest pumpkin.
IS. Demonstration in domestic science
work.
The committee has under advisement
the possibility OF making awards for a
demonstration in canning fruit or vege-
tables, the work being done by the girls
at the college in the afternoon and even
ing. This demonstration ought to add
interest and zest 10 the work OF the do
nestle science department at the college.
Though no awards are being offered
for curiositieS, il is hoped that many
freaks of nature will be exhibited, such
as gourds, etc. The college will enter in
the exhibit gourds over four feet long
which are now growing in the college
garden.
Publicity is being given to the fair thus
early, with the expectation that all in
tereSted will save their possible prize
winners and exhibit them at the college
fair.
