When Mr.. Hoover starts picking
his aides in the food control campaign
| he ought to include an editor of a
Georgia weekly newspaper, says the
Triton Gazette. There should be at

to economic. A country editor is
efficient on that line. Why? Neces-
sity is the mother of invention.

Arthur Brisbane will doubtless find
quite difference in drawing what is
said to be the highest salary ever paid
an editorial writer-.reported at $780,
900 year-and running paper of his
own. Brisbane has for several years
edited the New York Evening Journal
for Mr.. Hearst. but has recently
bought the Washington Times from
Frank A. Munsey. Mr.. Brisbane may
not make SO much money, but perhaps
| he will have more fun on his new
iob.-Tifton Gazette.
Mr.. Herring is the only editor we
know who really sympathize with Mr.
Brisbane from experience. He knows.

$4,000 gave fifty cents to the Red
Cross, or day laborer with nothing
but the clothes on his back gave SC

cheap skate would we call him? Yet
the proportion is identically the same

Poor Tino has bought a magnifi-
Gent Swiss chateau. If he were as
poor as he was king he would have
to content himself with a modest
Swiss chalet.-Courier Journal.

Last winter the negroes recently
transplanted to the northern states
were freezing and praying for warm

From the Whitaker Paragrafs:
Don't tell all you know. Conserva-
ton is better than conversation.
There's no fool like an old fool
Ask any young fool.
The less noise you make about your
successes, the more you'll hear oil
them.
Patriotism isn't measured by lune
; power.
Energy is just enthusiasm harnessec
to your job.
