WALT MASON DISGUST
Ed WITH CHEATING

The people who beat you, HORN
swagg,e and cheat You, don't profit
for long from the kale; for folks
who are tricky find Nemesis sticky
it never abandons their trail. I've
often been cheated; the tricks been
repeated so often l cannot keep
tab; but meier has the duffer WHO
thus made me suffer been much
better off for his grab 1t pays not
to swindle; dishonest ROLLS dwindle
like snow when exposed to the sun;
like feathers in Tophet is burned up
the profit of cheating-the crooked
mans mon. The people who sting
me unknowingiy bring me philoso-
plly fresh by che crate; l don't get
excited--my wlongs will be righted,
by Nemesis, t'o1tune or Fate. l know
that the ingers-they think they
are dingers, and gloat DER the coin
they don't earn know they'll be
busted and sick and disgusted while
still have rubies to burn. I'd
rather be hollow with hunger than
follow the course that the tricksters
pursue; I'd rather be easy than
do as the breezy and conscienceless
gentlemen do. Far better the shill-
ing you've earned by the tilling OF
soil that is harder than
bricks, than any old dollar you man
aged to collar by crooked and dew
ious tricks.

GIVE THE KIDS
A CHANCE

Up to a few years ago, it never
occurred to older people that Young
America needs a place to play in.
1t is commonly supposed that
live boy would find plenty of amuse-
ment in running e.rads, or hoeing
the back yard garden. If he must
have his game of ball once in
while, there was the street or
some ones vacant lot.
AS a matter cf fact it often hap
pens, that there is no place where
a set of boys can play a game of
ball without being ordered to quit.
Most American towns were laid
out with no provision for the child
'en. The cases where land was Civ
en- where young people could play
their games freely and work off SUI
perflous and threatening energy,
We're rarely seen.
In the larger cities the modern
playground, with tangle of yelling
kidlets, is sight to do a wihole-
some hearted person good. THE boy
who Is chasing baseball is not
robbing fruit nor loafing ON the
street corners.
And if neighIborhood OF Ml-
lage can merely open UP a vacant
lot and turn the youngsters loose,
results are worth while.

IOWA CLIMATE GOOD
FOR RAISING SQUIRRELS

Ellis Rogers recently cut down a
large tree in his grove, in the top
of which was a nest, which, proved
to be squirrels nest, and in it
were five little ones. Ellis said that
soon after the tree came to the
ground the mother squirrel appeared
scolding at a great rate.
She picked up one of her little ba-
bies in her front w.ws rolled it in
to a ball, and STUFFED it in h)er
mouth, and then ran to nest in
another tree. She repeated this OPP
Grafton until she had moved THE
entire family to its new home. 1t
was an interesting sight.

THE EDITORS viewpoint

The other day the editor was So
licited to join lodge and was hand
ed a petition printed by a supply
house; he got dun from mer-
chant in a government stamped en-
velope and written on paper head
ed also by supply house. He made
a purchase at a store and got a
duplicate bill printed at Chicago
and wrote check on a bank print
ed at Fredonia, Kan. Now we ask
you, how can an editor join lodges
and pay bills on SUCH treatment as
that, and all the time tell the peo-
Pile to trade at home? Editors have
to be born boosters to continue to
boost under these conditions.

NEWSPAPER Comment
SIXTY YEARS AGO

The we'll worn saying HISTORY re-
peats itself" was never better illus
trated than when reading copy of
a newspaper called "Graham's Daily
Mail" which fell into our hands the
other day. The paper was dated at
Philadelphia Pa, April 81, 1885.
The war mentioned was the Grim
can. in which the Allies, England
and France, were combined against
their present ally, Russia. We see
by the market reports that it had
the same effect as the present war
ON THE price of grain, only more
so. Wheat is quoted at $3.50 to
s2.75, flour $11.50 barrel, rye
$3.50 corn $1.10, oats .79c. Cotton
was selling from six to ten cents a
pound; sugar at about present price
But coffee is quoted at ten and e.
leven cents, and bacon eight to- ten
alams 10 to 10 IL pound. Anothe
very modern touch appears In tine
market report, where against GER
tain items is Nothing doing"

will be Overnight" which Is one of
the most successful comedies which
has ever been put on the stage

part of the hotel clerk in the original
production, has been engaged to play
the part with the company al The

the part for over a year in New York
and also played II for year on the
road
Il like the part declared Mr..
Aylesworth last night II played ii
for over two years and there was
never a night in all that time that I
did not perfectly enjoy playing it.
Many times You get tired of a part
even though you arc successful in Ii,
but il was different with this one. I
| aiw ays liked il and ! still like IT. II
is g part which gives you chance,
and when Mr. Brady asked me to
come here and play Il / was glad Of
the opportunity TO do So"
Asked concerning the success Of
the play in New York, Mr.. Aylosworth
said.
THE play was successful, though It
was a week before II got a criticism
because there were six other new
productions in New York at the same
time. I suppose you will think that
I am superstitious, and suppose that
I am, but there is a subtle something
which tells you when a play is going
aaIa affaH u
several plays which were failures.
This subtle something which ! cannot
describe never failed TO tell me, and
the other people felt the same, when
a play was going 10 be a success or 2
failure.
"You have won or. YOU are whipped
before the curtain goes mp. You feel y.
Look out at the audience and you viii
find that the audience feels IT, Some oi
them viii be asking how long the play |
Is going To last, before the curtain goes
up. On the other hand, ii the play is |
going to be a success. you will find them /
laughing. visiting each other about the |
theatre and thoroughly pleased before
there is anything TO be pleased over
"Nou are superstitious,' declared the
reporter,
"Prohably ] ann replied the hotel
clerk in "Overnieht,' "but the next
time there is q new production you get
in receptive mood aud sec if yon can
not feel Just how the play is going II
your audience is pleased and happy you
are going to have a success and YOU can
bet on II. OF course you cannot have
\ big success with poor play and poor
actors, but often a play which Is good,
with actors who are good, fails
However" he added, Wilmington
X going to Sec an excellent play next
week II will be the first time that il
las been seen here and | am sure that
people will llse IT, | hope
hey like the play ana ike the hotel
