An Erpert Press Agent =:

There is probably no man in America
Who is able to work the press of the
United States for free space equal to
Tom Lawson. It had been quite a
while since the greatest CRATER in the
m the country had been heard from.
It had evidently taken Lawson some
little time to work out scheme where
where he could get the most publicity
with the least possible exertion.
President Wilson'S peace note urging
that the Allies meet Germany's proposal
half way, opened the opportunity, and
Tommy Lawson was just the boy to
'=sieze it., The public is now pretty well
informed as to the result. Lawson
claimed he had cleaned up million
dollars on advance information given
to Wall Street, before the contents of
the message had been made public, and
that The operators down there had
made good deal more. Now Lawson
come to the conclusion, after he, had
secured thousands Of dollars worth of
free advertising space, which any honest
advertiser would have to pay good
money for, and which he couldn't get
even at any price, and he was called on
to <'show his hand" that he might have
been mistaken. At least, when sum-
moned before the investigation COM
mittee he was unable to give any facts
or any other information that would
bring the guilty parties, if there were
any, to Justice. sTom is a ''beaut"
when it comes to getting good money
from the public, and free space from the
newspapers. :.

g maintain that there IS nothing moye
necessary to the welfare Of man than
books. We would be hooted at as crazy
were we to say that we should not eat
because it is unnecessary. We do not
have to reason very much to find out
that our Maker gave us both a stomach
and brain so that we might put some
thing into both and not run around with
the one full and the other empty. We
could have both full, if all had the money
that some of our citizens have. We
would then be in position to buy our
own libraries and take our satisfaction
from them and then say that we did not
care if John Brown or Mary Smith read
or studied anything in their spare time.
We might keep our books to ourselves,
reading them once or twice until we have
absorbed the information contained in
them and then place them on our
shelves to remain untouched again until
they are thrown out because they have
rotted and nodded so that they are UNI
fit for use, causing the messages written
by their authors to remain within the
reach Of only those who could afford to
buy their works. But, alas, in these
days Of so-called prosperity many Of our
people are finding it hard to keep the
material man satisfied without attempt
ing to appease the longing and craving
Of the inner man who is entitled to as
much recognition as the other and in q
way more, because sbetteEing otsthe
spiritual man tends to make the lot Of
the material man better also. Would
it not be better instead of many people
building up, private libraries in this
town and thereby duplicating books
many times, If they would use part Of
the public money to build libraries that
would be used by all and which would
probably not cost, at the highest, es--
innate over five cents year: per
capita? Il.

Shoes are the latest of the necessary
commodities to be boosted in price.
When the manufacturers get together
apd pass the word along there is nothing
for the consumer to do but pay extra
price. 1t is said that the price of shoes
has only Just started on its upward
move. This thing will probably keep
on until the people decide not to stand
for it any longer.

Exit MuIeum and Not a Mourner!

Had the mule, that the other day at
Camp Kcyes bumped the sergeant $
nose, with disaster to the nose and
great discomfort to the sergeant, been
able to forecast the result of such
foolish action on its part, said mule
would have undoubtedly struck out in

one perfectly good but dead mule.
Mr.. Mule was taken out on the
morning after the little encounter with
the sergeant. with tacit orders to
break that mile or kill him.. Neither
was done, yet the mule is dead. 1t
