Two-Newspaper Problem.
From the Rochelle New Era.

We are in receipt of copy of the Dodge County
Herald, which has been revived by Mr.. Ben +.
Perry. Ben is a good newspaper man, but we very
much fear that he is wasting his talents. IL
locating in Eastman he has most assuredly cas'
his lot among good people as there are on eaTln
but they will not give a living support to t"o
newspapers; which fact has only recently been mO''
forcbly demonstrated by the present editor OF ths
New Era. 1t is also further demonstrated by tn1
absence of local advertising in Mr. Perrys nI's
issue of the Herald.
But Eastman is not by herself on the tWo-leMss
paper proposition by any means. No town OF ess
than twelve to fifteen thousand population VIII sls
more than half-hearted support to two papers, anu
it is then only matter of which can stand tng
pressure the longest-which is usually the olnca
organ. w.
Local politics is almost without exception 'le
cause of second newspaper being establ1shea ~
a small town. We happen to know that this
the case at Eastman. MethVin has always gott
out about as good weekly newspaper as there d ~ -
the state, and the paper is really credit 10 ~
town and county, but friend Claude has had pun
ical aspirations-and there you are. ..os
Albany, Valdosta and Moultrie are three a asr
towns that have but one newspaper each, ana u"
all financial successes. They are live anu w rs
to-date and the business men of those towns az az
proud of them to the extent that they Woulu -
think of giving encouragement to competition. 400
A newspaper man drop into any a'o LrYs

Russia Bears the Brunt.

The news that naval forces of Russia have sunk
the battleship Moltke, three cruisers and seven
torpedo boats of Germany in the battle of Riga
Bay serves to further emphasize the heroic part
that the Cars men are taking in the world con-
fict Whatever may be the reason for it there is
no gainsaying the fact that Russia has borne the
brunt of the fighting since the early days of the
war when France and England rallied to drive the
invading hosts OF Germany back from the gates of
Paris Since that time the British and French have
accomplished nothing of importance, while Russia
has been battling with valor that challenges the
admiration of the world. 1t would seem that if
the allies of the eastern empire had done their
parts as we'll as Russia Berlin might now have been
attained

Story of Love and Tragedy
From the Savannah News.

No writer of novels whose heroine is a princess
and whose hero though wealthy is not of sufficient
rank to wed her could desire for his plot a more
remarkable series of happenings than married the
love affair of Baron Won Bleichroder and Princess
Sophia of Saxe-Weimar But they, unlike the
heroines and heroes of novels were not wed. Their
story did not end with they lived happily ever
afterwards Not at all As it is told in dispatches
from Berlin they were secretly engaged back in
1913. He heir to $40, 900, O0O she OF princely
blood They loved each other as young folks will,
but his great wealth and his title of baron could
not balance her blue blood, and the head of her
house forbade their marriage unless she renowned
all her titles and dignities which she would not do
Up to that point the story is not remarkable.
But then tragedy stepped in. Denied her love the
princess did not wish to live, and she died-by
her own hand. Maybe the fiction heroine would
have cast off her title and dignites in disdan for
her lover, but this enough princess, having
the choice of her life with titles but without her
lover or life with her lover and without her titles
or of death, chose death.
The young baron lived on, mourning his lost
sweetheart doubt but he did not follow her
example and commit suicide Yet death had mark
ed him. And read that on August LIST in a
battle before Warsaw, while in the thick of a ter
rifle fight, he was killed. Which gives occasion for
saying that while truth may not be stranger than
fiction it at least is different.

The Money Lender.
From LIE erie de Paris.

Sixty years ago man came to Paris from the
Carpathians. Since that time he has sold jewels
and lent money to several generations of spend
thrifts He obtained permission to remain in
France. He has never been dangerous except to
the cash of the fathers of families More than this
his son has borne himself as a true Frenchman,
who has been wounded battling with our enemies.
When one asks his father for news of his wounded
boy he responds
MY boy,thank you, is getting better. But day
before yesterday I learned of the death of the
Viscount of s. He owed me 10000 francs, Yes
terday I heard of the death of the Marquis of
Z. He was to have paid me 1 5 900 francs at the
end of the month. Today little H. has disappear
ed. He was my debtor for 1000 francs. I am
ruined ruined, my dear monsieur
Anxiousy each day the old man runs through
the journals giving the lists of dead and wounded
He is as sensitive the little Russian usurer who
prayed every day for the soul of Madame Dubarry
This Hungarian money lender weeps with the
mOurners of the French nobility.

The Great American Toad.

The American small boy who kills toad does
because in his unthoughtedness he looks upon
the toad as being in the same category with a
snake some other repulsye and harmful reptile
The toad has, somehow, always been considered
legitimate prey not only by the small boy but by
his grOwn-up brother well.
As a matter of fact, the toad is about as harm
less a creature as is listed in Gods long roster,
and when you STAY a toad you merely spite the
world at large. The toad, which is incapable Of
imposing upon any one, even if it had the inclina-
ton, serves an immensely useful purpose. With
the aid of its voraciOus and watchful ally, the bird
it kills annually unaccountable insects. We say
unaccountable advisedly, for figures could ap-
proximate the number thus disposed of. The in
sects which fall before the onslaught of Mr.. Frog
and Mrs. Bird are or would be, a force which
would otherwise spell almost certain ruin to our
agricultural, horticultural and faunal life.
In view, then, of the fact that the great Amer-
can toad is an untiring sentry and intrepid
guardian, and that he helps US amazingly instead
OF hurting US, let's remember this the next time
we observe him hopping along in effort to get
out OF our path. He deserves a kindly word and a
good wish, not summary death at our hands

"GOOD ROADS BEE. 3"

From the Countryside Magazine.
We are all familiar with the 'husking bee" of
pleasant country recollections; the quilting
bee' has not quite gone out of existence even
though apt to hear little of it these modern
days and barn rasings" still take place.
But good roads bee is something of nov
city, and particularly so in suburban community.
There is no good reason, however, why it should be
so. The success of such "bee' held May 31st
of this year at Cragmere, a little colony of pro-
fessional and business in the Ramapo mount
aims in northern New Jersey, should point the way
for similar undertakings in other places
Maintained a private park the residents found
that disadvantage of having nothing but pri-
vate roads that the town would not spend
any tax money them Nothing daunted how
ever, they got together and did the job of fixing
the roads up TO a queens taste" 1t meant only a
few hours stolen from tennis golf on holiday,
but it had many compensations in that a and
a thoroughly fine community spirit born out
there in the glazing sun of a bright May day-a
spirit that bodies much good for similar community
work at Cragmere in the future.

FREEPORTs ON-THE-DOT GIRL.

From the Christian Herald.
Miss Marian E. Patterson, of Freeport, L. L.
received prize of $40 at the graduating exercises
of the high school at that place for not having been
tardy absent single time in ten years, which
included the grammar and high school course.
She is going to college and says she intends to keep
her record there. To make sure she rose at ev-
cry morning and started for school at S15. Miss
Patterson fortunate in having good health and
possessing the constancy that is too rare and which
is much to be commended. Many preachers be-
gin service the dot, whether the people are in
their pews or not. Too many begin five or ten
minutes late. The average congregation is hardly
ever in its place at the appointed hour for Sun
day service. A few might be found who have at
tended the service every Sunday for ten years. but
there are more who miss them ten times in one
year.

Bouquets While I'm Living

I've noticed when fellow dies no matter
what he's been
A sanity chap one whose life was darkly
STEPPED in sin
His friends forget the bitter words they spoke
but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude of pretty
things to say;
| fancy when | go to rest some one will bring
to light
Some kindly word or goodIy act long buried
out OF sight,
But, if it's all the same to you, just give
to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and the knock
ing when I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my
marble brow
While countless maledictions are hurled upon
me now;
Say just one kindly word to me while I
mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to carve upon
a stone!
What do 1 care if when I'm dead the Bloom
ingdale Gazette
Gives me write-up with a cut IN mourning
border set?
1t will not fatter me bit, no matter what
is said,
So kindly throw your bouquets now and
knock me when I'm dead.
folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads from many
friends you know;
1t may be nice to have these things for those
you leave behind
But just as far I'm concerned l really
do not mind
I'm quite alive and well today. and while
Hnger here
Lend me a helping hand at times, give me
Q word of cheer,
Just change the game little bit, just kindly
swap the decks.
For I will be no judge of flowers when I've
cashed in my checks.

Governor Harris is right in vigorously condemn
ing outside interference in the Frank case. The
activities of these outside 'busybodies' more
responsible than anything else for the lamentabe
tragedy that has brought discredit upon Georgia.
Georgians as a whole dsapprove mob violence, but
outside interference and offers of reward will not
hasten the bringing of the guilty parties to justice
Georgians amply prepared to look after their
own affairs and will not countenance this self-im-
posed help 1t only adds fuel to the fame, and fes
ters the already too sore spot.

DAWSON HAS GAINED MUCH"

From the cambridge Searchlight.
Dawson claims to be entitled to the pennant
for the best amateur ball team in the state,
and this seems borne out by the records. The
town has received a good deal of money from
visitors at the ball games and got considerable
advertising At the end of the season we
should like to hear the financial reDort.-Cuth-
bert Leader
That Dawson has gained much from her ball
team there be but little doubt. Hardly day
passes but the state papers carry accounts of their
games. furthermore, the awakened enthusiasm
from the contests with rival towns be capital
lied in every line of business.

rural route, which is permissible under the rules
of the postofice department, and doubt if sin
