Book Output is Increased

The rising cost of paper, ink and the
other materials of bookmaking did not cur
tail the number of publications in 1916; in
stead there was net gain of I'll. OF the
American publications there was falling
off in the number brought from the other
side, showing the writers. though generally
maintaining that the pen is mightier than
the sword, have taken up the latter. That
the cost of production does not restrict the
book output is indeed fortunate for aspiring
authors; if the publishers choose to make
the price of paper an excuse, they could
make the path to literary success stonier than
it is now, says the Pittsburg Gazette. But
in land that turns out 10,445 titles in a
year, as this one did in 1916, there is a
chance for the mediocre. Of the output
S,797 were works done in America, so
leaving out the best sellers and class and
technical books. quite a number of poets
and story tellers must have taken their places
among the elect. One would hardly think
authors were so plentiful. 1t is probable
the war has speeded up book production,
and that it would have to make printing
costs very high before the tide of war-borne
fiction and other matter would be stemmed.

Friends and Enemies

There is much danger in having too many
friends and not enough enemies. A man,
for his own good, must have enemies.
When we sit in the presence of friends there
is a sense of serene and credulous confidence
that borders on the brain, body paralysis.
We swing in the hammock of happiness.
The enemy that is remorseless, persistent,
and even prosecuting, is sure to bring out
the best in any big man. No man can be
idle mentally. or lazy, while sitting on the
Canadian thistle of criticism.
The enemy is so small in stature as rule
and so shriveled in soul, that his invidious
presence counts like the cipher at the i'm
mediate right of the decimal point.
All of which is another way of saying
that man filled with hatred for another, is
as harmless as a lying auctieneer trying to
sell oil paintings to bunch of hungry
tramps.
Do not fear your enemies, but beware of
the fellow who gains your friendship in
order that he may sell you the family car
riage horse.-Es.

ner. Miss Ora Carew played the stellar
role, and, with the exception of glancing at
the director little too often, did very good
work.
The play had its main setting in the
midst of the tents of a large circus, showing
the elephants, camels, actors. ETC., just prior
to the opening of the show, and as these
scenes were most faithfully and excellently
portrayed, it gave US longing to be back
again in those days when the coming of the
circus meant one of the chief delights of our
life, and for which we toiled in the hot sun
piling wood and gathering up old rags and
bottles so that we might have the wherewith
to attend this wonderful fairyland of ou1
dreams.
The different views Of the iairship as i,
Travelled above the earth, and those taken
from it of the ground below over which it
was moving, were some of the best we have
ever seen of that kind produced on the
screen.
The show, although short, was highly
appreciated by the inmate audience.-"B. "

About the scrap begun across the sea;
Most every one is busy making war stuff,
And now the craze has hit our printery.
The pressmen all are making guns and
From parts of our old busted printing
press;
The comps are making pistols out of gas
pipe,
And hand grenades from pigs, with great
success.
The job men turn out swords from brass rule,
They're trying to make powder from
graphite;
The limo has mold for casting bullets;
The DEVILS practcing with dynamite.
The makeup men are making gasoline
bombs,
And melting up old type for ball and shot;
The feeders use the waste to make gun
Well wreck the whole shebang yet, like

Hear it ringing through the stand,
"Whosa gonna pitch7''
From one and all, on every hand,
"Whosa gonna pitch?'
Jack tells Tom and Tom tells Bill
But the crowd is never still;
Louder grows the query shrill,
"Whosa gonna pitch?''
."Quite crowdl' one rooter says,
"Whosa gonna pitch?''
"Hope there'll be some double plays
"Whosa gonna pitch?''
Some young lady in the stand
Thinks Jeff Tesreau's looking grand,
But there's one supreme demand:
"Whosa gonna pitch?''
"Gosh! I'm glad came today
''Whosa gonna Pitch
There's the Umps-they're gonna play,
'Whosa gonna pitch?''
Though lot of questions great
May besiege our Ship of State
All of them save this can wait:

Attention is also called to how Franklin
bought books for their contents rather than
for their appearance, and how he accumu-
lated one of the largest personal libraries of
his time. (Chapter 2l.) A detailed list of
the various positions held by Franklin
shows that at various times he was speaker
of the Pennsylvania assembly, member of
the Philadelphia common council, post
master of Philadelphia, postmaster general
for the colonies, acting general of the
Pennsylvania militia, president of the
Pennsylvania commission of safety, member
Of the committee 10 draft the Declaration of
Independence, member of the Continental
Congress, United States, minister to France,
United States minister to negotiate peace
with Great Britain, etc. Other activities
are outlined in detail in the same chapter.
Especially interesting to the readers of
THE AMERICAN PRINTER will be the
concluding chapter which is headed
"Our BENJAMIN Franklin. Mention
has already been made of the typo

Hold your Head up Like a
Man


II the stormy wind should rustic,
While you tread the worlds highway.
Still against them bravely tussel,
Hope and labor day by day;
Falter not, no matter whether
There is sunshine, storm or calm,
And in every kind of weather
Hold your head up like man.
If brother should deceive you,
And should act traitors part,
Never let his treason grieve you,
Jog along with lightsome heart.
Fortune seldom follows fawning
Boldness is the better plan,
Hoping for better dawning,
Hold your head up like a man.
Earth though e'er so rich and mellow.
Fields not for the worthless drone,
But the bold and honest fellow,
He can shift and stand alone
Spurn the knaye of every nation,
Always do the bes: you can,
And no matter what your station,
Hold your head up like a man.-Sel.
