A tired business man in New
York, coming home after a par
ticularly enervating day. had oc
casion-or thought he had-to
spSak sharp words of reproof to
his eight year old son. He wound
up by sending the youngster to
bed without any supper.
That night, stealing into the
kIddy's room to see whether he
had fallen asleep, his mother
found him wide awake and very
scornful of her advances.
why, Jackie" she said, you
shouldn't be surly toward me
just because your father scoIded
you I'm not 20 blame"
Yes, you are tool" stated
Jackie. "You married the big
stiff. and now I've got to stand
for him."

Three or four years ago a
board of trade was organized
here and for a short time it
seemed that much good to the
community would result, hut the
thing died OF drv rot and since
that time there has been no or
ganiZatiOn or other means where
by the citizens of the town and
community are brought together
to discuss matters of importance
to the community EveFye4an
weeds his own row, and there is
little or no cooperation. There
is no meeting place where the
people can come together on
common ground to work and
plan for the many needed i'm
provements in social and civic
conditions. Pageland is tagging
behind. Nearly every town and
city has its board of trade, cham
Der Of commerce, community
service league. or other organi-
zation for utilizing the brain
power of the whole community
along the lines of progress and
development. Pageland has been
asleep. Pageland has done we'll
without such an organization,
but would have done much
more with it. The time has
come when it is essential 10 the
future welfare of the town and
its citizens that the people come
together and unite their efforts
for a better town ,and communi-
ty. Big things are being done
for other towns and commune
ties bv united efforts, and big
things will come TO Pageland
only through the united efforts
of its citizens. What better time
than now will there be for a
resurrection of the dead board
of trade which promised so much
for the town? Why not wake up
and begin work? Haven't we
had a good nap?

Young woman" land recognized Il i'm

I looked around for q policeman. but

Party Examines Car
All three accompanied the Lieutenant
N the street TO examine the car Inc
license number and the number on the
motor were found 10 correspond 20
those on the state certificate held by
Ward. Emden insisted It was his car
and described certain scratches, scars
and dents on the mud guards and Tadl-
ator. which the Lieutenant found on
inspection.
Linden said the car had different
headlights and tires, and that two
extra tires, a bumper, clock ana spot
light had been removed. At his IN
sistence, Ward WAS arrested on
charge Of grand larceny. Two other
licenses, one issued 10 John A. Ward

found in his possession. Under the
seat in the car the police say they
found two number plates correspond

with the production Of atmosphere IA
vorable TO the doctor. The total bill,
according 70 the complaint, was s4,655,
but Dr. Cook paid .2,Sss.s2. In addition,
Rost claims that he expended at the
instance OF the defendant" the sum OF
s1,O31.64, for which he has not been
reimbursed.
"Dr. Cook employed Rost at $50 week
ly to create an atmosphere in Washing
ton favorable TO the doctor" said
Harry A. Vessel, Of the law firm. yes
terday. "Rost was TO have acted as
Cooks representative in Washington
and TO have supplied all information re-
quired By the Congressional committee
which was passing upon Peary's right
20 a pension and the title Of rear ad-
miral.
"Rost did this Cor year and got his
money, but the atmosphere he created
was not satisfactory to Cook, and at
the end Of the year the doctor dis
charged him. There was no contract,
and we shall enter a general denial Of
the claim, which is absurd on the face
of it."
DR.. Cook could not be found last
night. He was reported TO be lecturing
somewhere in Ohio"

Suppose you ordered s4.655 worth OF

mosphere, Understandable got only
s2.sss.62 worth, and poor stuff at that,
would you pay for the whole lot?
Now, listen a minute! Suppose the
atmosphere you got was so-well, so
unsavory-that you couldn't live in It,
and had TO get out of town; and sup
pose, further. that that unsatisfactory
atmosphere kept following you around,
no matter where you went Would you
hasten to write your check covering the
whole atmospheric order. or would you
tell the atmosphere specialist 70 go 70
see your lawyer?
That's what DR.. Frederick A. Cook
did. and now the lawyer has brought
suit against the gumdrop explorer for
the money. Ernst Rost, an artist, OF
Washington, is the unpaid atmosphere
purveyor, and Gilbert & Vessel are
