Why some people enjoy themselves

To say the least, the Kentwood
New Era was a well edited paper
| in fact, better than some OF the pa
pers whose editors are so ready to
give it the laugh. That the editors
efforts were not properly under
stood nor appreciated can only be
realized by those in a position to
know. That it failed financially
does not in the least diminish the
journalistic standing of the Kent
wood New Era. Now this great
laugh because the editor had to hit
the roads of a manifest freight is
nothing unusual as far as we can
see. If there eyer was an editor OF

! period of his life we don't know him

POOLE ISSUES ANOTHER
STATEMENT TO VOTERS
Calls Attention TO Election
And Advises All TO
Vote Against 1t

NJ Collier Poole, who has been
selected as the delegate to the con-
itutional convention from Washing
ton Parish has issued a statement
asking that the voters donot overlook
thefact thatthe election will be held
on Aug, 81 and sueees: s that a heavy
vote be cast against such convention
His statement is as follows:
To The Voters Of Washington Parish:
On Tuesday, August 3lst you will
be called upon to vote for or against
the holding of a constitutional con-
vention at this time. AS the Demo
cratic nominee for delegate to such
convention, if one be held, wish to
most strongly urge upon the elect
crate of this parish the necessity OF
defeating the proposed convention,
The very inception of the con-
stitutional convention was in a de-
sire for more money. The Governor
of this State informed the tax-pay-
ers in his message to the legislature
that our Financial system has
broken down and he recommends
that a constitutional convention be
called to provide a remedy" What
this means in plain English is that
all of the States money has been
spent and now more money is de-
sired by those who have spent it.
And the way in which they propose
to get more monev-the only way
in which they can get more money
!, is to raise taxes.
2 This do not believe to be neces'
, sary. liza constitutional convention
is held | will do all in my power to
prevent any increase in taxation
If held it will be for the sole pur
pose of raising more money ant
t. do this taxes must be raised
:, The onlyiwav in which the voter
s. can be certain to prevent the levy
# Ing of more taxes is to defeat tn
10 proposed convention. | therefor
most earnestly urge that ever
u voter 60 to the polls on the 3lst an
le cast his ballot against the calling
r. a constitutional convention.
to Very respectfully,
NJ. Collier Poole.

ASTRONOMY TO

Practical Benefit Here

One of the most important and
most interesting links in the Y NJ.
G. A. winter course will be the lee
tLre at the high school auditorium
next Monday night of DR.. A. E
Douglass, professor of physics and
astronomy at the University of
Arizona. There will be nothing dry
or technical about his lecture, for
DR.. Douglass isn't built that way.
He is the most companionable sort
of speaker the kind that takes the
audience into the fullest comrade-
ship and confidence.
For numoer of years he was in
charge of the Lowell observatory at
Flagstaff. where, in addition to val
liable observation work on the planet
Mars and other planets, he did a
vast amount of investigating of
natural features much nearer home,
such as air currents and tempera-
lures at varying elevations, all with
a practical view toward utilization
for the benefit of humanity.
He is going to talk about such things
Monday night, but especially about
method he has evolved of finding
the relation of sunspots and weather
He has been working on this for
some time past, assisted by grant
made by the Elizabeth Thompson
science fund of Boston and has Sc
cured results not only interesting ir

to people with farm interests who
want to know how far weather car

will be able to say which years

will be lacking in water.

AS 1t Should Be.

In the school house in Belleville, Wis.
a few evenings ago, upon motion Of
the Catholic priest, the Methodist min
lister was elected president of the COM
munity's social center for the coming
winter.
Then three basket ball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, .
farmer. the keeper Of the village res
taurant, dentist. clethier, teams
ter, a druggist, a garage owner. the
banker, the saloonkeeper, hardware
merchant and house painter.
They differed in religion, in politics,
in income, in social status about as
widely az men can differ. But in the
common school building, in the free
democracy of the social center, they
agreed to lay aside their differences
for the novel purpose of discovering
how much good fellowship there was
In meeting together, now and then as
equals. as brothers.
In the democracy OF play, in the
democracy Of frank, fair discussion Of
public questions, they are finding out,
these differing men of Belleville. that.
as human beings, they're amazingly
alike, once you get below the surface.
And out of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Belleville, more tolerance,
more kindness Of feeling, more give
and take than it had ever know before.
Even when they shall differ again as
Of course. they often will-it won't be-
with as much bitterness, as much
bigotry, as much mean hate Is Of yore.
It's a wonderful solvent, is brother
hood.
