Newspaper Reading.
Ma Gazette.

Under the above heading the fol-
lowing excellent editorial, written by
pupil of the Belmont high school,
appeared in the November issue of
The Clarion, a live monthly paper
gotten out by the wide-awake STU
dents OF that school:
In our opinion one thing wrong
in our school today is the lack of
newspaper reading among the stu
dents. In order to keep up with the
times and to be properly informed
about the daily topics, of course it is
necessary to real a newspar at
lenst occasionally.
I'm our school, are sevcra, daily
newspapers and many weaklies. and
where we have access to such en-
oellent material with which to keep
ourselves we'll informed are we go
ing to let such an opportunity pass
and idle cur spare time awas IN gig
Cling. go>sipping or getting into mis-
chief7 There is no student wh) .lu.s
not have spare time every day, yet
the number who put this spare time
into use by reading the newspapers
in our school is indeed very small.
"In one Of the high school rooms
out of about sixteen boys there Is
just one boy who does this regular
ly. Two or three of the others read
the. papers occasionally
What is the matter with our boys
and girls?
DO they not realize the impor-
tance OF newspaper reading? Or do
they expect the teachers to keep up
with the news and tell it to them
and do they think their affairs are
the only things that matter? When
they go out into the world how SEN
sible a conversation can they carry
on with educated, well-read people ?
One member Of the faculty has been
trying to remedy this evil.
Fellow students, if you once form
the habit of reading a daily newspa-
per we will assure you that you will
never regret it and will always keep
it up. L."
The suggestion that boys and girls
In school should be trained to read
the newspapers is worthy of the seri-
Gus consideration of all school teach
ers. Young people cannot grow up
to be well-informed, intelligent citi-
zens unless they keep posted on cur
rent happenings and they can do this
only through the newspapers. Let
us train the rising generation to be
newspaper readers.

A GIANT CHRYsANTHEMUM.

Special Train Carries It to Cleveland
Ohio, Show--17 Feet i'm Diameter.
New York World, Oct 22nd.
Carried by special train, the
largest single chrysanthemum plant
ever transported by rail in this or
any other country will start on No
yember 5 from Ardsley, N. Y, for
Cleveland.
1t will be exhibited there at the
Hover show to be held in coniunc-
ton with the annual exhibition of
the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer
ica
This plant, which is now on the
estate Of Adolph Lewisohn at Ards
ley, is second in size only to one in
the possession of the Emperor of
Japan, the home of chrysanthemums
1t is II feet i'm diameter, only six
inches less than the Mikado's largest
plant
Several years ago Mr.. Lewiston
conceived the idea of producing q
chrysanthemum plant which would
rival the largest in the world. He
consulted j. w. III. Campbell. fore
man OF the Ardsley green houses,
and John Canning, superintendent of
the estate.
AS result there are TODAY two
marvellous plants in the green
houses, one the yellow chrysanthe-
mum, which will be sent to Cleve-
iand, the other a variety called
Welis's Late Pink" which is six
rect high and fourteen feet nine inch
es across.
Mr.. Lewishons exhibits at the
New York flower shows have been
famous for years, but the great size
or the chrysanthemum plant has
prevented their being shown in dis
tant cities. This year Mr.. M. Vim
son, secretary of the Cleveland
Flower Show, decided that he would
have one Of the big chrysanthe-
NUNS. He obtained from the New
York Central Railroad what is call
ed pit car" and after planning
with railroad men it was decided that
II Mr.. lewiston would consent tc
reduce the size of the plant by 12
inches the railroad would undertake @
Its transportation.
To make the trip possible the
chrysanthemum will be placed on its
side on specially constructed frame,
This will be revolved by a mechani-
cal device which will prevent the
lower leaves from being crushed dur
ing transit. The whole plant will be
covered with glass. j. w. II. Camp
bell of Ardsley and an assistant will
accompany the chrysanthemum on its
journey.
On arrival in Cleveland the great
plant will be placed on a motor truck
and will be driven through the prin-
cipal streets of the city, escorted by
mounted police.
The tour Of the giant chrysanthe-
mum VIII be expensive, the charges
or the railroad being $3.50 each way.
owing TO the height of the glaes
covering the trip will not be made Inv
me direct route, so as to avoid sew
eral low bridges, the special train
VIII go from Dobhs Ferry to Depcw
via the main line, thence by the Car
,cnVille Branch to Ben View and
then to Cleveland over the New York

boosters.

Anderson lntelngencer.
The boosting habit is distinctly
American. 1t has developed into q
hne art or into deadly disease, the
point of view depending on whether
some artistic manipulation who feeds
upon a diet of East wind has boosted
dollars into your purse or boosted
them out. If you have been victimiz-
ed, 1T is, of course, disease to be
classed with typhus fever and the
bubonic plague. If you have been the
beneficiary of the hot air man and
have had your name entered on the
honorary list of income tax payers
as result Of his windjamming, you
cannot be blamed for swelling your
chest and speaking of it as the SUI
and endeavor.
There is no middle ground in the
art-or the disease-of boosting. 1t
is either upward or downward. Per-
haps 1t would be nearer the truth to
say that 1t is all upward-at first. A
skyrocket goes up, up, up, leaving a
trail of glory in its wake, but it can
not manage to stay up very long. The
brilliance fades all at once, there is
squirt of blue smoke, then the rocket
turns tail and comes scooting to earth
leaving nothing in memory Of it's
fight but a lingering and unpleasant
smell.
The hurtful booster is human sky
rocket He goes up In a blaze OF
glory and comes down with an ex-
piring sigh like the gurgle of bath
tub. He springs up like the hopper
grass and is cut down like the pep
per grass. He Is a big man while
he lasts, but when he quits lasting
he has about as many friends and ad-
mirers as an Armenian at the court
of the Sultan of Turkey.
The true booster is like a lark-if
he refrains from going on one. He
rises with a song on his lips, and
when he gets up he stays up as long
as he wants. When he comes down, 1t
is only for the purpose Of giving fresh
courage to others before he takes an
other flight. He knows where to find
solid earth, and he keeps one good
eye ON 1t while the other Is looking
up into the blue sky of higher and
better achievement.
Cities are built by boosters who
emulate tho skylark type and not the
skyrocket example. Solid boosting Ia
the modern architect and builder of
city that abides, but foolish boost
ing Is a blast of wind that will cause
the walls of any modern Jericho to
fall in ruins.

HETTY AND ANDY.

Today Andrew Carnegie is so
years old. On Sunday Hetty Green
was 81. The birthdays of both were
observed with special exercises in

For long time the American ma

were less in our eyes than the yir-

our millionaires, our magnates, and
our money kings. Their savings ana
doings, their personal appearances
and eccentricities furnished larger
topics for journalistic descriptions
and discussions than did ever those
of our men of letters and statesmen
Now the public has lost 1nost of it's
interest in plutocrats and is interest

spent millions in purchasing all of
the goods at every bargain sale.
which, too, would have been utter
waste. Orphanages, asylums, homes

1t is to be hoped, of course. that we
will not have as many plutocrats in
