LANGDON A HEALTH RESORT

The city schools have been closed
temporarily by the local board of
health, as a means of preventing the
spread of an epidemic of influenza
that is prevalent at this time over
the entire United States. At the
present time Langdon has been able
to keep pretty clean bill of health,
so far as contagious and infectious
diseases are concerned and the au-
thorities evidently intend to see that
Langdon maintains its reputation of
being a health resort. while other
surrounding towns are battling with

HOW BIG BUSINESS HELPS.

There Is lesson for the Washington admin
istration in the way war industries are speeded
I'D as a result of the cordial cooperation of
what is known as big business In the solution
of governmental problems. What leaders In
business and finance have done to keep the war
chest full Is an old story. Not less important is
the work Of captains Of industry In anticipating
the government needs. The federal depart
ment of justice has shown hostility to forms of
industrial organization now seen to be import
ant In the work of winning the war. A case In
point is that of the so-called steel trust This
organization has been attacked by the govern
ment, which has reason 10 be thankful that
vast resources III steel production have been
made available by successful combination.
Officers Of the leading steel manufacturing CON-
panies OF the country met last week to consider
ways and means Of increasing production
larger output must be provided to meet growing
war requirements. The steel needed for ord
nance, the railroads, shipbuilding and other es-
sential industries exceeds the early estimates.
Without the cooperation of the manufacturers
the government would be powerless. That the
steel industry will respond TO every demand
goes without saying, but it is well to remember
that If the government had been successful in
its attacks upon big business the industrial out
ook would be far less favorable than it is.

A "PAY-As-You-ENTERv INN.

There are many quaint bits Of fact
and fancy in Walter Prichard Eaton's
musings on the inspiration of locality
in American letters, entitled THE
Literature. of Place." which appears
in the September Bookman. Here is
an amusing Instance OF the way the
enterprising business man makes
capital out of literary landmarks:
Perhaps there is a certain conyen-
tional pose &c the assumption that
we, in America, are poor in the over
lures of literary association After
all, there is much in American letters
already working TO endear and enrich
certain localities, even when it is not,
strictly speaking. literature of place.
! was reminded of this fact afresh the
other day when my motor suddenly
rounded a bend on the Boston and
Worcester post road and beside me,
behind its huge, patriarchial oaks,
rose the beautiful old walls and shout
dered roof of the Wayside Inn. /
must admit that Longfellow lay about
me In my infancy so ubiQuitously and
was, by pedagogical compulsion,
copied SO often into my memory gem

flanked by the lovely. rolling fields OF
Middlesex, with thrill that even its
antiquity and architectural charm
could not account for. Why, you have
10 pay even to enter It now, You
pay for the privilege OF paying for a
meal there. Literature did that. Let
the landlord take charge of the next
inn up the road, let him serve meals
ten times as good. yet what would
become of his admission fee? No, the
Authors league should certainly take
the matter up. and compel him to dis
gorge royalties, on his present pro-
ats, to Longfellow's family.
