New York City, on hot Sunday when
most other houses along Broadway
were wishing there were fewer beaches

"Hulda From Holland" as a picture
will delight the friends OF Miss Pick

the distinctive bits that seem to be
Miss Pickford's sole property in spite
Of manifold efforts by numerous others
to appropriate them. She is always
at her best with children-and with
old men, not to mention young ones

them especially so. Horal Hollacher is

we have ever known before. Our
growth in the coming quarter century
should far exceed that of the past quar-
ter. And growth calls for support. As
we expand we must be sustained.
Money makes the mare go; and the big
ger the mare the more money necessary.
The republicans if they return to com
plete control will but repeat their past
performances when in control by sup
porting the government in generous
fashion A striking feature of their
record in office is that they have never
been cheeseparers. At every step since
the civil war when responsibility rested
on them they have provided the gov
ernment with all the money necessary to
its development; and while at times the
amounts have appeared large, events
have always justified the large purposes
proclaimed. If we have not in every
case received the full worth of our
money, the blame has seldom rested on
the Congress that made the appropria-
ton.

Waste Paper Saving Profits.

A plan is under way to put the school
children of the city to work at paper
saving for the benefit of the playground
fund 1t is estimated that if all the
children will save all the waste papers.
including old newspapers, of their homes,
and bring them to the Fairgrounds, APP
proximately $4,000 week can be raised.
The figures of local paper waste nov
available bear out tits estimate Tons
of old papers are literally thrown away
here daily, and in the present condi-
ton of the paper trade this is serious
loss. Naturally the school children are
not concerned in the economics of the
conservation. but they should be in
terested in the financial advantage to
be gained by paper saving. If this en-
terprise goes through the playground
fund, now constantly in need of replen-
ishment by entertainments of various
kinds, will become pethoric. A sug
gestion is afforded by this enterprise for
other objects which are constantly in
need of assistance. As soon as the value
of old papers is established a competi-
ton may develop for them which will
greatly stimulate the energies of those
engaged in their collection. For in
stance. the Boy Scouts of this city, per-
ennialIy in need of funds and about to
conduct another tagging enterprise.
might profitably become paper collectors.
The local charities may be able to utii
ize this means of refunding. Once let
the idea become general that there is
an actual commercial value in Old paper
and the waste will cease.
