Small Green Backs

A new issue of 81 and 50 United
States notes or "greenbacks," the IS
suing of which was discontinued
more than thirty years ago, were put
in circulation recently. The treasury
department at Washington, in ex-
planation Of the action, says the new
issue was decided upon because silver
certificates in small denominations
could not be issued lawfully in suffi-
cient quantity to supply the business
demands of the country. In 1873 the
limit of outstanding "greenbacks"
was fixed at s346,6S1,016 and no
currency of such class has been put
out since 1885. The amount of out
standing 81 and So notes of this class
is now slightly in excess of $3,000,-
900. However, there is O2,445,-
300 of United States notes outstand-
ing of $40 denomination and higher,
and a portion of these will be re-
tired and Cancelled, dollar for dollar,
to permit the new issue of smaller
denomination currency.

MAKING ECONOMIES.

The high prices prevailing this
winter would not have worried our
grandparents much. They were
schooled in making economies. 1t
was second nature for them to con-
slider each penny and nickel. They
would spend half an hour to straight
en- out an error of a cent.
1t was conservation of resources,
and they attended to 1t seriously and
thoroughly, Nowadays If people
spend more than they expected, they
"are going to make 1t up somewhere
else But they don't. All appropri-
ations are exceeded and they cheer
fully consign the January bills to the
wastebasket.
The housewife may decide not to
spend more than so cents on her
meat. But she finds those cheaper
cuts, about which the woman's page
told her, all gone. Perhaps she could
get them at the next store. But she
dislikes to seem too frugal Or she
sees some of the most appetizing
relishes and CONNECTIONS put up in
just the neatcst and prettiest looking
boxes. So the 50-cent dinner costs
her a dollar.
Of course some people can't afford
to bother. While they were saving
dime, they would be losing a dol
lars worth of business Most of us
aren't in that class.
Wise administration of household
resources involves spending some
time at the butchers shop. 1t is as
tonishing how much you can learn
from the Man with the Cleaver. You
can't get it over the telephone. Also
in the kitchen. Servants and econ
omy are two different propositions.
And it means watching for bar
gains and scrutinizing the newspaper
advertising. It means testing the
less expensive foods to make them
so farthest and taste best. The man
who buys an automobile may not be
the one who is most successful in
business. 1t may be the one whose
wife is the best plaItAer.

cal communities for presentation by
road companies.
The established producers lavish
money on their productions. They
hire the best known stars and sup
porting players. They draw upon the
famous novels and previously sue.
cessful plays. They hire the best and
most skilled men in the business as
directors. They labor for months and
never less than five or six weeks in
the actual work of making five-reel
feature. Their settings and stage
equipments are the work of artists OF
distinction.
Beginning at a point where a pic.
ture cost merely few thousand dol
lars, the point has been reached now
where producer spends as much as
81 100000 for a single picture.
In other words, the picture play
you see from a big and established
manufacturer is superior in every de-
tail to the dramatic plays that come
to the average city or town, the big
ger cities included.
Sooner or later the critics of an
industry are forced to take cogniz-
ance of the good points of the indus
try, of its monetary worth, of its su-
periority to the older branches of the
amusement business where disinte-
grafton and loss of public favor have
worked havoc.
The movies have forced themselves
upon the attention of the critics and
exacted a broader form of treatment
because they deserve this attention
and also because the public would
quickly discard and ignore critics
who refused to become enlightened
and in accord with form Of amuse-
ment which is universal In its appeal.

THE MOVIES.

II is always true that the things
in life that originate with or appeal
to the masses of people sooner or
later make compulsory demand upon
the attention of those select few who
form what are loftily termed the
GLASSES"
In the beginning and for several
years after their perfection, motion
pictures held the attention Of the
great mass of the American people,
while the intellectuals, the scholars
and the critical persons in the profess
sions and sciences stood on the side
lines scoffing.
Usually 1t makes little or no differ
ence whether the intellectuals like a
thing or dislike 1.-THE opinion OF
the masses is the shaping or dominat-
ing factor and the opinions of the
critics-no matter how serious and
competent they may be-are entirely
secondary.
This is true in the world of motion
pictures.
II the producers had listened to the
critics and the intellectuals the great
motion picture industry would have
been scoffed out of existence.
So the producers took the judg-
ment of the people themselves and
adopted only such things from the
critics as seemed beneficial and help
full.
The result-today motion pictures
are the fifth largest industry in the
United States.
Also, today the critics who were
skeptical and ironical are trying in
every possible way to "get in tune"
with the industry and with the pic
ture public.
In the beginning dramatic critics
did not care to be seen attending pic
ture presentations. For, in the be-
ginning, pictures made no demand for
evening dress and social niceties.
There was no parquet; no dress cir
Gle.
But times change rapidly in an as
tonishing industry like this.
In the majority Of large cities to-
day the leading motion picture thea
ters are much better buildings archi-
tecturally and in equipment than the
leading dramatic houses. They are
newer, fresher, better laid out, better
lighted and ventilated, have better
orchestras and superior equipment to
the old dramatic houses.
The average feature film that plays
the average small town in America
is one hundred times superior in
cast, in staging, in mounting and
general presentation to any-and al
most all-plays that come to any To-
cal dramatic house.
The pictures presented throughout
America are on the average. much
more entitled to public approval than

Mrs. Nancy C. Bunnell passed

help others. With an affliction in
her eyes which threatened total
blindness, she never complained. We
will miss the dear Aunt Mamie" as
she was familiarly called, but VIC
would not call her back. Whereas
she wGs once blind, she can now see
her Saviour face to face" whom she
loved so well, and her loved ones who
have gone on before. Truly It can
be said of hcr, She hath done what
she could"
Her nearly heart-broken sisters
were unable to be present on account
Of sickness. TuneraI services were
conducted at tho church by her pas
tor, Rev. Brett, assisted by Rev.
Douglass of the M. e. church. Com
forting words were spoken, also an
abundance of pretty flowers from the
W. R. c., Of which she was a mem
Der, and the Ladies' Aid and other
loving friends.
