HELPFUL WORDS
From a MorrisvilIe Citizen


Is your back lame and'painful?

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Nv ADELE GARRISON

The dog arose and looked up into his
masters face expectantly.
William put his hand upon the
dogs collar and stretched the other
out toward me. Excuse me, please,
Mis- Gramie,' he said respectfully,
and then he stroked my sleeve and
patted it, talking to the dog the while.
Nice lady, Pete he said insinu-
atingly. See! Your lady now. Go
long with her, and stay with her. Re-
member-don't come back
William evidently firmly believed
that the dog understood every word of
his exhortation And as far as the
dogs actions went, his belief was JUS
titled, for Pete listened attentively,
cooking up one ear in ludicrous fash
ion. And when William had finished.
Pete gave a short bark, then walked
with a slow dignity which only bull
terrier has, over to me, and standing
in front of me, looked up into my face,
wagging his stump of a tail violently.

said triumphantly. Hell stay with
you now, no matter what comes."
Good doggie," 1 said, STOPPING to
pat the animals head. I felt that
Pete and | would become firm friends,
although at first I'd rather avoided
him because Of his resemblance to a
puppy which Dicly had brought me,
and which had been killed by a heavy
touring car only a few weeks after
I'd received him.
Pete gave another short bark and
the homely sound gave me the first
sense of security I'd felt for days.
There was wonderful strength and
courage in every line of the animal:
his furnishing jaw looked capable Of
taking care of an opponent, no matter
how formidable, and fidelity looked
out of his red-rimnled eyes-ugly
enough to the lover Of outward beau
ty, but, under the circumstances, eX-
! ceedingly attra ctive to me.

Then, with Pete ambling contentedlv
by my side, 1 went on to the street
and turned my face toward the center
of the village, wondering if the es-
pfnnage of the men next door would
extend to my personal movements or
whether it was confined to q study of

Motor Chassis ON Exhibition.

The Cohen Motor company have
brought to this city a hundred point
six cylinder Chassis. This is the first
time that. q Chassis has ever been
placed on exhibition so that the local
motorist is afforded the opportunity
to inspect the working parts of a
motor car, as all the mechanical
parts are open to show their various
uses. Mr.. Cohen is very enthusiastic
over Kissel Motor Cars, for they are
built so sturdy and with such sim
plicity that the number Of working
parts are reduced to a minimum. A
showing is also being made of new
All Year Cars. Furthermore, the
Kissel people manufacture a line COM
plete in itself from the special Six
two passenger speedster to the last
word in an exclusive closed car, also
o complete line of motor trucks. Re-
cent deliveries of pleasure cars have
been made to Mr.. J. B. Carleton and
Miss Beatrice V. Christesen. The
Cohen Motor company have also sold
the New Britain Ice Corporation a
4-ton Kissel Truck and during the
past week they have sold new Dodge
Brothers cars to DR.. M. A. Kinsella,

GATHERING NEWS IN
ALLPARTS OF WORLD
A. P. Annual Report Reviews
Task Of the Newspaper Man

New York, April 27.-The report of
the board of directors of The Asso-
ciated Press this year is considered of
such interest as to warrant publica-
ton. 1t refers among other things to
the experiences of some Associated
Press Representatives in the foreign
service, and in making this part pub
lie, the board authorized the inser-
ton in parenthesis of the name of the
man concerned.
The report follows:
ITO the Members of The Associated
Press
In earlier reports we have endeav-
ored to summarize briefly the most
i'm portant news events of the year.
We make no such attempt this year.
There have been months during which
more epoch-making news has devel-
I oped than during some previous en-
tire years, and all newspaper men
must wonder whether we shall ever
return to former standards Of news
values. Nor do we enlarge in this
report upon the news gathering
achievements of the organization.
With those achievements have come
many inevitable disappointments.
Overtaxed cables, muddled censor
ships and similar exigencies Of war
often have upset our plans and fire.
quently neutralized the resourceful-
ness Of our staff. Yet we have in :
comparably the most comprehensive
machinery for collecting and distri-
buting news that the world has ever
known.

acknowledge our appreciation. Tor

them. Their escapes amid danger

board has itself assumed liability on
their behalf.
while the growth in mem bership
was unusually large during the past
year, the members should not mis-
take the policy as to growth. Unlike
the privately owned and profit-making
news agencies, we do not trat1c IN
news. We welcome only such addi-
tons to membership as strengthen the
news gathering facilities of this body.
At the close Of the year there were
636 evening newspapers, 391 morning
newspapers and 81 Sunday morning
newspapers, Or a total Of 1888, receiv-
ing the service. These newspapers,
from the smallest, which receives a
5OO-word daily telegraph service, to
the largest, which receives upward OF
$4,000 words daily, shows a net In
crease in membership in the year 1917
of 1879, of which SO are evening, "a
morning and nine Sunday newspapers.
Add 1000 Miles of Service Wires.
I'm 1917 there was a great expan-
sion in the Morse leased wire service,
more than 1000 additional miles Of
wire being added, making the leased
wire system of the organization over
$4,000 miles in length, and more than
twice the mileage of all other press
associations combined. Receiving the
report on these leased wires, which
would stretch more than twice around
the world, are sos evening newspa-
pers, 269 morning newspapers and As
Sunday morning newspapers. While
there was a rapid extension of the
leased wire service, the increase in
the number Of newspapers receiving
pony services, smaller than the Morse
leased wire, was still greater, showing
a growth of 81 over that of the pre-
ceding year.
with the extension OF the Morse
service it was necessary to employ
additional Morse operators. The num-
Der of operators employed at present
is $50, representing an increase of SO
over the number employed for the pre-
ceding year. The body of operators
who copy the report in every state in
the Union, with a single exception, is
greater than the com bined operating
force of all the other press associa-
tons of the world. Regardless of the
loss of trained men and the fact that
in service less than one year, the de-
livery of the report has not been in
terrupted, and no member wishing a
leased wire has been without service
because of the shortage Of operators.

Mis- Granite
Mis- Gramic."

What do you mean, William? ?
asked, startled at his sudden outburst
against our neighbors.
He peered up at me, blinking his
nearsighted eyes.
: IT tell you they're no good, Mis-
Gramie," he said earnestly THAT

me. He pretended to be wecdin' his
self. but there's nothin' planted jest
there, and I knowed it.
And the tall Teller with the spin

around after dark, and comm up to

I was dom. I don't like it, Mis- Ora

you've got a good head on your

admiringly. But you don't need to
be afraid Of Pete. I'm trainin' Pete,
be, and it won't be too healthy for
any one of those fellers to try steppin'
foot on our grounds when Pete's

That's right, William: you're very
thoughtful" I smiled my approval,
and the poor old chap glowed with
pride. Now please drop everything
else and move Your things into tho

Cardinal Principle, Accuracy
Through the years The Associated
Press has, by maintaining its STAN
dards of accurate reporting, preserved
the best traditions Of journalism. The
good name of The Associated Press
has not been impaired. The public
confidence in our dispatches steadily
has grown until millions of readers
now hesitate to give credence to many
published reports until assured that
they were carried by our association.
The sensational Zimmerman note, with
it's report of diplomatic intrigue in
Mexico, was universally accepted as
genuine because The Associated Press
said it was. The bonn bardment of
Paris at long range was rldiculed by
other press associations and by ord
nance experts, but the Paris bureau of
The Associated Press which for two
days alone reported this startling de-
velopment of the war to American
readers convinced the skeptical quite
as thoroughly as did the official con-
firmation of it's reports. When the
governments action in taking over
the Dutch ships in American harbors
was reported in Europe, several chan
celIories inquired in European CAPT.
tails whether The Associated Press an
nounced this fact. This reputation for
telling the truth on the part of The
Associated Press is recognized now
quite as generally through diplomatic
and journalistic circles abroad as 1t
is in the United States, and 1t is an
asset of membership in this organiza-
ton that is of utmost value.
During the past year the war has
naturally drawn heavily upon our
staff 1t has been the policy of the
mana cement not only not to seek ex-
emption from government service on
behalf of it's employees, but to encour-
age such service. Men who a year ago
we're serving this organization now
are by hundreds in the military and
naval and other services of the United
States Our operators, in particular,
have been able to render valuable
peculiarly fitted them. Within a year
we thus have lost more than one
fourth of our staff, and many more
men soon are to leave.
I'm this period of war, as the &C
Invites and responsibilities of our
service have steadily increased, it is a
source of great pride to know that
those upon whom the burden has
fallen have met their obligations with
a measure Of faithfulness and intelli-
gence for which the management is
deeply grateful. BY direction of the
board Of directors and as a partial
recognition of the efficiency of the
staff, the life of each employee in the
United States, while in the service,
has been insured for the benefit Of his
heirs or dependents in the sum Of
$1,000. Because of the greater risk
involved, established companies will
not accept insurance upon the lives Of
our men in foreaxn serviae, but the
