THE CROW'S-NEST

II is the opinion OF a noted ethnol-
ogist that c~artoonists are the quickest
TO observe and characterize the physi-
cal tendencies OF the human race.
They try TO make a composite picture
OF men and women that will represent
what We are coming to in the future.
For a long time they have been pic
turing our Uncle Sam as a tall and
slender individual with a paint brush
whisker and whose star-spangled
clothing was of ancient pattern and
o small for him. This caricature is
still In use when n wishes to typify
the nation as a whole but the cartoon
lists have invented a series of carica-
lures TO represent certain classes OF
individuals oil members IF societies.
Every one Is familiar with the half
used TO represent the common people
as a class. He is supposed to be the
victim Of oppression of every kind and
Is generally registering a protest of
some sort. Most of our daily papers
OF late years have been running serie4
Of cartoon pictures, alleged TO be
funny. ;r which heads of families and
other types are characterized as being
short, sawed-off% individuals who are az.
ways getting the worst of ii in what.
eve they undertake. Witness Pa Van
Loon, Papa McGinnis, JEFF and other
would-be funny characters who are
paraded before US every day in the
dailies, to the exclusion of other moro
acceptable matter, when the cost OF
print paper is so high. II the cartoon.
lists are predicting that the future
heads of families are TO be as homely
and squatty as represented and the
victims of all kinds of trickery by
members Of their families, it is not
pleasant to remind them of the fact
unless such c%aricatures are intended
to serve a good purpose. 1t Is scarce
" believable that a large percentage
of husbands are having as much
trouble in their homes as the car,
toonists make out in their supposedly
funny pictures. 1t were well that
some other vein Of humor might be
tried out for a while and let us have
a rest on victimized husbands and
other classes of individuals.

The Register Stops Next Week
If You are Not Paid Up

WE HAVE aimed to notify every subscriber on our list
W by sending a statement OF account. There are still
quite a number who are not paid up, and some whose SUBJ
scnptons expire with this issue. If you fail to get a paper
next week don't blame us for we have given you a fair op-
portunty to MAKE Good"
IL THOSE in arrears will be given until the first of
"A March to settle. After March LIST the accounts will be
placed for collection and will include cost of collecting.
1T TAKES some nerve to place the Register in advance of
L of other country WeekheS in the way OF doing business
and serving the public. But there is no reason in the world
why the publisher of a newspaper should not do business in
a business way, commanding the respect of the business
world and thus enabling him to make the newspaper a source
of profit the same as any other legitimate business enterprise.
WE ARE more than pleased at the manner in which the
w bulk of our subscribers have responded to our plan of
"CaShinadvanCe" payment and "sOp when the time is out"
1t leads us to believe that the Register S appreciated and we
certainly are trying, with both money and hard work, to give
more than "vaue received"
WHEN this campaign is finished we will have the best
owned and probably one of the best, if not the best, of any
weekly paper in South Dakota.
To the many friends of the Register extend nv
hearty appreciation for both your moral and fnan-
Cal support.

taken to put on a Lyceum
Course, consisting of four ex-

Entertainers. The Bryn Mawr
Entertainers, The Indian String
Quartet, and DR.. Mott r. Saw
yers, inspirational orator.
This course will cost 100000,

that everyone will help US by
buying season tickets, which will
cost $3.50 for all four, or so
cents for single tickets.
This course is Of a high order,
and we are quite sure we shall
have a packed house; SO buy
your tickets soon. Announce

In all likelihood the course
will begin in December with the
Indian String Quartet, which
is very fine.

FOOD CAMPAIGN

The Food campaign is now on
and will continue until Nov.
18th. Our quota for Barbour
county is $500 pledges.
A full supply of cards has
been mailed out to the secre-
taries of the Boards of Educa
ton of the respective districts
to be given into the hands of the
teachers of the county. The
Red Cross organization will also
assist in this work and all
others who are in anyway inter-
ested in carrying this work to a
successful conclusion.
There are three different
kinds of cards-Home or Kitchen
card, Window card, and Pledge
card. The Home or card is
to be left with every family Wis
tied whether pledge card is
signed or not. The Window card
is to be left with those who sign
Pledge card.
When we are approached to
sign a card we should not take
offense, but remember that the
party approaching us is car
rying out the request of our gov
eminent, simply doing his or
her "bit" here at home while
the boys in the trenches and
concentration camps are pre-
pairing for the greater conflict.
