Then he handed me glass of beer. finished four cigarettes and four glasses of beer before the scene was taken. Next a very pretty actress was ushered in and told to kiss me. She gave me a rather cold caress. and the director he was fine fellow, believe me remonstrated
 Whats the matter?' he asked. Don't you like Mr Mestayer?'
 Why, I've only just met him, she replied
 Well, kiss him as though you meant it.
 She did We had to rehearse it five times and then do it while the camera was working l understand there will be more cigarettes, beer and kisses tomorrow.

NOISE AS 4 FACTOR IN WAR
Those Accustomed to It Make Better Soldiers Than Those Who
 Are Not.

There has been growing in recent years a belief that the soldier from the rural districts is not as good a campaigror as his brother-in-arms from the cities From Europe there has just come one comment from an excellent authority bearing out in a way, so far as the British troops are concerned. this conclusion.
 An English sergeant major 2 C.a13 that is the flower of the British srmy, owing to their system of training. and who is Great Britain's professional soldier par excellence, has expressed the opinion as the result of the Bel gian and French campaign that the regiments recruited in the cities are proving the best on the battlefields because they are accustomed to noise.
 It is the quantity of the German shells that is having this effect he said. and hellish noise racks the nerves beyond the breaking point for those who live away from the big cities
 Mayor Gaynor wrote in one of his inimitable letters that he could work in boiler factory. Most city dwell lers have to labor under conditions closely approximating such a cendi- ton. No one ever believed anything good could be said of the ding-dong eoncussions assailing the civic ear; and yet We learn by this testimony that noises of this kind may become a factor in war.-New York Press.

MIR. RIVES HAS MISTAKEN A
NEWS STORY FOR CRITICISM

I'VE believe in government that shall raise no

tract from every democratic platform from the cleo
ton of Thomas Jefferson to date.
The criticism of The News that the rendering
efficient the rural rural mail service by lop-
ping off unnecessary men, in view of the demo-
cratic doctrine above quoted of Postmaster General
Bureson spite work is, to put it mildly as pos
sible, beside the mark. The rural mail carrier,
with his legal holidays, his fifteen days vacation
best paid of any like employe in the country Take
the schedule: He gets 1925 per month In
terest on money to pay for auto will be $50 per
year; gasoline and upkeep, 500 more; making
a total of $3.50 expense. He has New Year, Wash
ingtOns birthday and several holidays with
$3.50 off time that he spend in visiting. Also
81 Sundays. Mr.. Finn the agent of the Central of
Georgia at Dawson, has off time except that
for which he pays-not excepting Sundays.
He must have all the qualifications that the rural
mail carriers have, and in addition he must be
telegraph operator expert accountant and first
class solicitor of freight and passenger traffic He
must also supervise every Central employe at the
depot and in the yards and be prepared in an emer
gency to act dispatcher to boot. at the same sti-
pend Mr.. Rural Mail Carrier Take the same at
every important station, even at the smaller sta
tOns like Morris, Graves and the place where the
writer stays there is not rural carrier from any
of these places that could qualify an efficient
agent. 1t is beside the mark to say that there are
ignorant agents; all admit that but the wages paid
all tire of the agents will hardly equal that
of the pay of one rural mail carrier under Mr.. Bur
lesons new rule. Let them earn their salaries and
let the inefficient and surplus ones go to work like
other folks. ANDREW P. RIVES

Feeding the World.

Sometimes dry statistics make interesting read
ing and one does not object to vending through a
maze of figures to get at instructive conclusions.
The federal department of commerce has just issued
a report of this character, showing to what mar
velous extent our food exports have increased Dur
ing eleven months ending June LIST $724OOO,OOO
worth of foodstuffs left American shores.
The exports for the twelve months preceding the
report referred to were only 1921, 100000 thus
showing an increase of $443, 000O 900. Wheat, as
was to have been expected, formed the principal
item 249 576 600 bushels being sent out, its value
being 1891 961 900. Oats valued at $5l,669, 600
went with the wheat as did flour to the extent of
valuation of $87 $50, OOO Corn exports were val
ued at $34,542,00O. That bacon is toothsome
food article the world is evident when the
figures of $41,294,O0O as valuation are considered.
The department goes on to record big increases
in tonnage and valuation of fresh beef, canned
beef and picked beef. In all foodstuffs there was
a tremendous growth of exports, and in no single
instance decrease.
We are feeding the world We have done this
always, of course to extent, but never before as
The other great nations of the world are too
busily engaged in trying to kill each other off to
pay much attention to raising food products. Prac-
tically every ablebodied man in all of those ma
tions, except Great Britain and Italy. has mus
ket his shoulder or cavalry horse between his
knees. Inc War-mdd H1IlOnS must nave IuSlI
meat and bread and it is up to the United States
to furnish the needed supplies which no other
country Russia has plenty of wheat, but until
the Dardanelles succumb-a contamination not
within sight at this writing, despite repeated OPP
timistic assurances from Mr. Winston Churchill to
the contrary-her plenteous supply is of no benefit
to her allies and not much to herself.
There are two outstanding phases to this new
business in which we are engaged on scale that
has suddenly grown to such huge proportions
Firstly, we doing truly humanitarian
work. There many starving mouths to feed
and we are feeding them. 1t is fitting that even a
soldier gone insane with blood-1ust should have
something in his stomach to keep body and soul
together
And there is the pecuniary end of the PROPOSE
ton. The United States is making money. 1t is
making it through private citizens supplying arms
and ammunition, but in still greater measure its
agrieultursts are waxing wealthy off of small grain,
cattle and hogs.

Would Change Election Law.

Perhaps no bill that has been introduced in the
Georgia legislature has excited more interest than
that of Mr. Beck, representative from Carroll coun-
ty Among it's chief provisions are that no candl-
date shall run in the general election unless he has
previously received party nomination in pri-
mary; that all parties shall hold their primaries
on the fourth Wednesday in August for all state
and county officers from United States senator to
coroner that state and county shall defray the eX
penses of this primary; that all parties shall be
represented in naming officials of elections that
the Australian secret ballot system shall prevail;
that all of the candidates pledge themselves to sup
port the party nominees that they shall be limited
in their expenses; that money shall be spent in
hiring workers, and that candidates receiving the
most votes shall be declared the nominees, regard
less of majorities. The plan abolishes party con-
ventions and the county unit plan
There is much for Improvement in Geor-
gia primary election law. There are now entirely
too many elections, and the campaigns are too
expensive for a poor and honest man to aspire
to an office with much hope of success.

Getting Out the Dollar
From the Christian Science Mo

AS in many other communities of Canada ana

it, almost a craving for the sensation of seain s

purpose of leading it to mngle among the commas

it's part, as honest dollar should.
On the day chosen, toward the latter part of
June, the merchants of Vancouver advertised Dbl

Thank God For En-.

control the editors of large, populOus centers
Hence they are the states best asset. They stand
for morality, law and order; for education and the
things which go for moral, political and Industrial
advancement.

Housekeeping Efficiency.
From the Baltimore American.

The woman's pages and the womans magazines
seem TO be marking back just now, to period that
antedates Susan B. Anthony and the early days OF

Observation-Disclosures when sewing circles were

fine art. Housekeeping is, perhaps, a fine art now
also business demanding a high order of execu-
tive ability. There doubtless many women who
continue to so regard it,
one OF the writer's topics in which women are
supposed to be specially interested breaches little
sermon on housekeeping efficiency. She lays down
the proposition that unless woman has this kind

Mr. Marshall was in possession of Webbers con-

presumably reputable New York attorney and
one of some prominence. 1t is not unreasonable TO
heIieye that his story might have freed Becker II
the Weber confession is true Becker IS innocent
and ought to be free.
Then why did not Mr.. Marshall take the witness
stand. tell his story, and free Becker?
Because Weber had consulted him profession

come Webber's attorney, but he could not free a
man condemned to death-an innocent man-De-

This is not condemnation OF professional ethics
No sensible man would condemn them. without
them the profession would be in lamentable state
But many sins, if not crimes, are committed in
the name of ethics This is about as fragrant a
case as has come under our observation. The New
York lawyer says he is going to do what ne can
to save Becker now He is getting away from the

hoped he will come first under the wire.

Music Hath Charms.
From the Chicago Evening Post.

Edward Westby, even in the days of his pros
perity, counted himself lucky if he could obtain
employment for ten hours a day welding a pick
and shovel. AS he worked the strains of music
foated through his head and helped while away
the weary hours.
This was his daily existence. 1t was only when
night came that he really began to live. Then he
could return to his comfortable room get out his
old violin and play. And such music! Neighbors
used to gather outside the window and listen To
Westby the violin was wife, children and home
it his first and only love.
But hard times came upon the city. Work, even
with pick and shovel, became scarcer and scarcer.
Westby, in time, all his possessions except his
violin go for money to buy food. Finally he even
had to give up his and find lodging in 5 or
10-cent lodging houses
At length he could not find even the price of a
flop so last night with his beloved violin tucked
under his arm, he crawled under the caves of a
building in North Peoria street and went, hungry
to sleep. There he found by policeman and
taken to the station, where he was given break
fast before being taken to Judge LaBuys court.
II suppose you stole that VIOLIN, said the judge
to Westby, who stood before the bar.
No play the violin; it is mine. 1t is the only
thing l have EARTH replied the prisoner.
IF you play I'll discharge you," said the
judge.
Westby took the old violin from the battered
case. He forgot the dingy court room, the hard
ships of life-everything but music
The happy melody of Strauss Dream Waltz
began to come from the strings, and brought cheer
even to the prisoners waiting for their trials Then
Westby played where the River Shannon Flows"
"A man who can play like that is no thief, cried
the Irish policeman who had arrested him.
Amy one who play as he does ought to be
discharged, added the judge.
Westby put on his battered old hat and went out
put not before the Irish policeman and the tender
hearted judge each had slipped him a coin.
