EVERY TOWN.

Copyrighted 1915, by Frank Crane)
 Every town has some store where the loafers congregate to regulate the universe.
 Every town has postoffice and lot of folks who call for mail every day and never get any.
 Every town has horrible example. He gets drunk, won't work, but his wife supports him and loves him with doglike fidelity no decent man can ever hope to receive.
 Every town has it's old skinfnt, who discounts notes, buys up land dresses like tramp and won't get his wife a new stove. Every town has bad boy that all parents hold in horror and all boys love.
 Every town has it's champion liar, that lies for practice when he can't find anything to lie about.
 Every town has it's vicious tongued woman, who makes trouble as the sparks fly upward
 Every town has it village atheist.
 Every town has it's arguer, who will challenge any statement you may make, and prove it's not so.
 Every town has its loud-mouthed citizen who can't talk without making noise like a megaphone.
 Every town has it's nice, speak-easy, hand-shaking creature, who tries to be popular with everybody and whom mo- body likes.
 Every town has it's grouch-face, who is unfailingly confident the worst is yet to come.
 Every town has its good women that everybody likes, and it's honest men whose word is as good as his bond.
 Every town has a group of men who know that the town is morally the worst in the state.
 Every town has a man who never wears a collar, and a dude who pastes down his hair and sports a pink strip ed shirt.
 Every town has it's own particular brand of big fool.
 Every town carries it's own peculiar type of religious cranks.
 Every town has men that know all 1 about the European war and the gov ernment at Washington, but don't know how to make a dollar a day.
 Every man has a man who laughs like an idiot at his own wit.
 Every town has it's bully, who is afraid to death of his wife. Every town has men and women who hate the place and are always wishing they lived somewhere else.
 In other words every town is as chock-full e human nature as every other town.

panies are today ransacking libraries,
magazines, even poems for original
ideas for use in scenario making. And
yet they claim that it is impossible
to keep pace with the demand Pub

place for the same stories on the film
