For all of his productions,
George Beban, the celebrated
exponent of Italian characters,
selects his own cast and in "His
Sweetheart" the Oliver Morosco
Paramount Picture in which he
appear at the A-Muse-U Theatre
on June 26. has followed this
rule. His sweetheart is his own
mother whom he has brought ov-
err from Sunny Italy to live with
him in his tenement basement.
With unerring judgment Beban
selected Sarah Herman for this
role and she presents one of the
most sympathetic characters of
an old Italian woman ever seen
on the stage or screen.
Others in the cast are Helen
Jerome Eddy, Harry Devere,
Kathleen Kirkham, Robert E.
Holson, and others.

guage the same as IN Byrne
Simplifed Shorthand but with
printed characters on any stand
ard make of typewriter instead
of with a pencil. The type
writer has proven TO be the most
efficient of modern office appli-
ances. The business man likes
it because it enables him to turn
out his correspondence with
speed and accuracy. But he has
realized there was still weak
ness in his CORRESPONDENCE from
the fact that what he dictated
was recorded first with the err
ing pencil and that which did
not go down correct could not
come back correct.
He now welcomes Steno be-
cause he sees his dictation go
down accurately in print to
come back accurately transcrib-
ed. Steno is simple because it
is done mechanically. 1t is legi-
BILE because it is print. 1t is
rapid because it is written on
the typewriter with eight nimble
fingers instead of a cramped
hand around a pencil.
Steno notes are interchange
able. 1t is so legible that, one
stenographer can read another
notes. Steno may be written at
good commercial rate of speed
with pencil in the absence of a
Typewriter.
There perhaps, never was a
system of note taking that has
caused so much favorable COM
ment as has Steno. 1t is admit
ed to be the logical way. Steno
meets the Civil Service and
court room test as we'll as being
successfully used on associated
press work.
The most modern method of
note taking can only be had in
this part of the country at the
Tyler Commercial College, Tyler,

lea, but does the most thorough

A trip over the northern por-
tion of Drew county, last Friday,
convinced us that our farmers
are making a strong effort to
grow something to live on for
the coming year. There is more
corn planted than usual, and
while it is small, for the time of
year, it has good color, is clean,
and growing fast. With few
more rains at the right time, a
big corn crop will be made. We
also noticed that the farmers in
this part of the county have lots
of hogs, and from the general
appearance of them they are be-
ing looked after and cared for.
They have a good many cattle,
too, and these are IN excellent
condition. Every farmhouse
has its garden, and there is no
end to the vegetables. We can
safely say that if no drouth
strikes US that the Drew county
people will be able t. feed them
selves, and have a surplus to
spare. Cotton is small, but we'll
worked. We heard some COM
plant that boil weevil had made
its appearance, and was already
in the cotton fields ready to get
in its work at the first chance.

The Red Cross today, in a

deceived and blind with cause
less hate, for the cause that We
Americans know is Eternally
Wrong. When the battle is
done, to the Red Gross the vic

Right or for Wrong, They are

and the universal religion of aid

activities.
Today, after having long served
America in peace and all the
