Quite a New Dance.

Like a flying dumping Uncle Flop
wit projected himself from the moving
bus to the pavement.
But mud was everywhere.
Poor old Uncle Flopwit's feet
touched the paving stones for frac-
ton Of second, but he proceeded for
the next ten yards of his way face
downward-his white waistcoat churn-
ing neat furrow In the slime.
Then a lamppost brought him to a
halt. He was still PROSTATE when a
Samaritan's voice exclaimed:
"Oh, deari Poor old gentleman!
Have you hurt yourself?"
Now, Uncle Flopwit didn't like be-
ing called old, and he considered the
rest Of the question ridiculous.
Hurt myself? OF course not! That
sliding business Is the first figure Of a
new dance-the walrus glide. Sup
posed to be walrus sliding OF a
block of ice into the sea. Did 1t rather
neatly, l think. don't you, you idiot?"

little circle of one or two hundred fel-
low runs, many of whom entertain the
same quaint idea.
Since the merely taciturn or morose

Motion Pictures.

It is estimated by prominent motion
picture producers that over 1915 .000,-
900 are being spent annually by the
people of the United States for the
production and maintenance Of NOV
ing picture enterprises throughout the
country. Few people realize that the
ordinary feature film which provides
the evenings entertainment costs be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to produce.
Aside from the money actually spent
on admissions to the shows all over
the country. the greater part Of the
capital used in connection with the
moving picture industry is that tied
up by the producers of the embryo
features. Over s120.OO0.000 are tied

the fighting qualities Of the militant
sisters who want to vote, the empire
might be in safe hands if it came to

foe. However, the argument was eff.
fective. for the lords defeated the
woman suffrage bill which was before
them by a vote Of 104 to 60.

INTERVENTION IN MEXICO.

It has long been our opinion that
n 10 stable government will be es-
ablished in Mexico until it is done
Nv the intervention Of other nations,
or more properly speaking, another
nation, If the Monroe doctrine is to
be adhered to. Mexico has proven
conclusively during the past few
years that it is totally incompetent
TO govern itself. Property interests
have been sacrificed, and a state of
turmoil and strife has existed which
has made it unsafe for people Of for
eign countries to remain there. Now.
as the last straw, the report is re-
'eived that the inhabitants are starv-
'ng, and the Red Cross society is call.
ng upon the United States to furnish
food for the suffering. And this gives
rise to the sentiment that if it has
come to the pass where it is necessary
to call upon the United States to feed
Mexico, il is time the United States
undertook the settling of conditions
there, SO that the people may return
to work and support themselves, at
the same time creating a condition
that will permit Of residents of other
countries returning to care for their
interests, if not totally wasted by the
long reign of chaos, rapine and arson.
This sentiment is apparently shared
by President Wilson and his official
family, who have exhausted their ev-
cry resource as well as their stock of
patience in trying to promote peace
in that country without active inter-
vention.

is Briaerus, and who would think
of encountering with single pair of
fists, hundred-armed fellow? Bet
ter shake the multitudious hand of
the giant, good-naturedly, than un-
necessarily provoke his wrath. De-
spise the world if it SO please you,
but as you have to live in the world
and lean on the world, it is just as
well to treat it civilly. Shrewd men,
who understand their race, never seek
quarrel with society. They under
stand that it is possible to lead and
quietly control community, but not
to fight it down and force it to their
way Of thinking by means of narrow
Jaws. If you desire to reform sup
posed or real evils or disabuse your
fellow men of their prejudices, the
surest way not TO succeed is to resort
to denunciation and abuse. Kindness,
Cancellation and the influence Of a
good example-these are the true eff
fective means of reform.

NEWSPAPER BEST ADVERTISE
MENT.

A PUBLISHER in Western state
IA recently intimated that some Of
the merchants of his town had been
busying themselves in an attempt to
organize the business men of the town
for the purpose Of cutting out all adj
vertising in the local papers by COM
mon consent on the ground that it is
a useless and worthless expenditure
While we do not believe that there is
the slightest danger of any such thine
being done it is interesting to specu-
late on what would be the consequen-
ces If such thing should come to
pass.
The local paper is the index Of the
public spirit, financial and moral con-
ditions and the general welfare Of
every community, and the criterion by
which it is judged by all outside peo-
pie. If any difference, this story is
told more strongly in the advertising
columns of the paper than in the news
columns. A local paper, well patron
lied by the local tradesmen whose ad-
vertisements are newsy, breezy, and
in season and up to date, telling Of
their goods and wares--the newest
things, the best things, and their
prices, is an infallible indication of
good town, public-spirited people and
progressiveness of the highest type
and the best kind. On the other hand,
suppose the local merchants do not adj
vertise in the local papers. They must
have advertising to live. It follows
as a necessity that they must take any
kind of cheap proposition they can
get--patent medicines, whiskey ads,
mail order displays, gun and bicycle
offers-there is no evidence of pros
perity land there is none) and no pub
lie spirit, and the homeseeker who
reads the paper will shun the town as
sure as he would shun the bubonic
plague.
On the other hand, suppose the To-
cal paper should begin whooping it
up for the mail-order houses and tell
the people how much they would save
by patronizing them. How long would
1t be before grass would grow in the
streets and half the merchants would
go out Of business. You can readily
see there are two sides to this ques-
ton.
No worthy newspaper publisher is
willing to consider advertising pat
ronage in the nature of an act of
charity or even donation. He knows,
as also does the merchant, that space
purchased at a reasonable price,
rightly and intelligently used is more
than worth the cost. There are but few
publishers that do not strive earnest
ly to promote the best interests OF
every enterprise or industry in the
community. They earn every cent
they get and their service is worth
much more to the community. The
best advertisement any town can have
is real live newspaper well patron
ICED by local people and don't make
the mistake of expecting too much
for a nickle.-Exchange.
