END OF THE DIME NOVEL.

To what mysterious agency to attribute the
almost tott extinction of the dime novel? 1t cannot
be due to change in the of its principal patrons
for boys will always be boys and WILL therefore, always
the record however urd of feats of high emprize
and deeds of deeringdo Can it be another manifesto
zion of the mutifom ramifcatons of the higher cost of
living? Scarcely for, from even woefuly depleted
and aentuated family exchequer the average American
boy will generally manage to manipulate the 10 cents
necessary to his enjoyment, whatever form that enjoy
ment may take.
We think the whole that the real reason is twofold
the movies and the crowd of fiction magazines which
now flood the market For small sum- plus moderate
AK, the boy have his fill of sensationasm in the
picture He follow the gradual thwarting of
The deepad schemes of the william with the fierce scow
and the portenous mustache he watch the hero per-
form almost incredible eats of strength and valor; he
the virtuous muchwronged heroine go through
series of acrobatic performances that would put
college gymnasium to shame Or, without seeking sur
eptitous conceament in the barn behind the wood
she'd he can, openly and in easy and luxury in the par
or peruse adventures which throw completely into the
'i"NN N'iOoS
pages of the books that delighted his predecessor of
yeseryear. He peruse them too without making
my imoad on his pocket money in the maya
nes which materfamilia grown-up sister so thought
July provide and leave lying around.
Whatever the cause, the fact remains That Diamond
Dick, Nick Carter Frank Merriwe, ct hoe genus omme
fast becoming things of the past are In truth nearly
is dead the dodo If book is now exposed for sale
in paper covers, it is ten to one that it is volume of
Dumas Tolstoy. If any office boy other represen
tatve of the young idea is found with craving for the
old kings of fiction it is safe to say that he has an anti
luarian turn of mind, and that unless unforeseen cir
cumsances prevent he will in later years be shining
gt in Assyriology Egyptoogy a lucid expounder
of the remains of Aztec or Inca civilization.
The old order changeth and yet those of who were
brought up DeadEye Dick and his compeers and took
no harm from that form of strong literary nutrment
wonder it, all things considered the change is entirely
FOR the better.

PLAIN talk no TIE BRITISH.

When plain speaking suits his purpose, Mr.. Lloyd
George is OF the to mince his words Probably not
since Henry VII ceased hector and browbeat his
lament has such tongue thrashing been given to the
people of England that administered to them by their
present prime minister during his recent three hours
speech He had it is true, good text, and it must be
said that he certainly made the most of his opportunity
When we remember that he has been under terrible fire
and that he is battling for his whole political future
against powerful combination of foes, cannot but
admire his courage in tackng boldly such appalling
truths.
Staggered by the fearful cost of the to Great
Britain ad Ireland which shows total of $2OO,OOOOOO
by an adverse trade balance of 1000 100000 which will
probably go speedily to $4,000 100000, and by ma
tiona debt sweed from its prewar standing to $32O5
OOO 900 to $50 100000 the premier only one
way of saving his country from economic run of pre-
serving its very existence in fact and that way is
except in agriculture alone the output in everything else
has decreased He attributed this falling off in large
part the shorter hours of labor He complained APP
parenty with reason, that whereas it had been argued
that the reduction in working time would not involve
reduction, the result the contrary proved that the
output had been cut down almost in the mathema
cal proportion.
In proof of his contention he instanced the coal min
ing industry The production of coal this year would, he
said be 200 600 900 TONS against 900 before
the war, although 10000 more miners employed
than were employed in 1914 and the ton of coal which
cost $3.50 in 1915 costs $3.50 in 1919 He believed that
there had been intentional slowing down of production
and he emphasized what he called the dangerous and
fatal faacy" that the less men worked the work
there would be for others.
Deferred by his experience in the recent strike of the
Yorkshire miners the prime minister declined to accept
proposal for government operation of coal mines and
other mnera resources but he advocated the principle
of reorganization, amalgamation and unfcation, so
to reduce working expenses and give the workman
voice in the controlling of the policy.
On the whole the word picture of the economic future
of Great Britain as drawn by its official spokesman is
pessimisc in the extreme. The speech may spur
lazy individuals to activity, but do not share the idea
that the British people will extrcate themselves from
their troubles Washington Post.

LIGHT.

LIGHT.
Light is the chief diffrents between
day and mite. If mite was jest as
light as day, people would go to bed
wenever they got sleepy insted of
waiting for the rite time, thereby
causing great Inconvenience to the
people that was still up. The most
important reason wy it gets dark
every mite is so people will all go to
bed at the same time and avoid con-
fusion. Another reason is to make
the stars look palmer.
Sun lite is the hottest and most
natural and the cheapest. The sun
is bigger than the hole, erth put to-
gether, but wen little cloud gets in
frunt of it you can't even see it.
This proves size amt everything.
Moon lite is ony refexion of sun
lite, so the moon don't deserve neer as
much credit as it genrelly gets. Stars
give little lite, but their chief use is
for ornaments.
The chief diffrents between gas
lite and electrick light is that gas lite
can be termed two ways, up or down,
vile electrick lite can ony be termed
one way, on. Gas has a gassy smell
which pervents it frum ixcaping with
out being found out. The reason gas
don't smell more like flowers is be-
cause then people wouldent try so
hard not to be assfixiated.
Ladies also make electricity wen
they comb their hair, but 10 ladies
combing their hair all at the same
time wouldent even make .enuff to
read by.

Wouldn't have it said that |
Ever taught my boy t. lie,
Wouldn't want him t repeat
Any language of the street
Which l used in haste when he
Glanced to be around with me;

MYERS

One of the best rains of the season
fell Sunday morning, although it
came too late to be of any benefit to
a lot of vegetation. 1t it of great val
lie to grasses and late crops of all
kinds, however.
Mr.. John Harrison and son Otis, of
Jefferson City, spent day or two
here recently among relatives.
For some weeks past we have been
expecting with anticipation as our
guests on the 31st, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charley Pickering and daughter, Hill
da, of your city, and Mr.. and Mrs. R.
G. Greenlee and son Harry. Early
Sunday morning our anticipations
were somewhat blasted when the
thunders roared, the lightning peal
ed and the raj ndescended in tor
rents; and sense of melancholy
crept over US as we watched the mud
dy, rushing waters cover the low
land, and Little Chuckey pose as a
river. But to our joy the sun shone
out, the birds sang and all nature
appeared like a spring morning; and
our guests were promptly on time.
The day was fine and large, and all
announced late in the afternoon that
they had enjoyed the day immensely.
Our afternoon guests were Messrs
Charley McAmis and Stilman Rey-
nolds, of Cash's and Lone Pine. Miss
Bessie Kate Bible also came in the
afternoon. All have a hearty invi.
tation to visit us again.

guest of his daughter, Mrs. C. c. Bi.

day night here the guest of Mrs. Hes

Edna, the little one year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Bible, fell
one day last week and received a very
badly sprained arm. She was imme.
diately taken to DR.. Brown, who ex-
amined her and found that no bones
had been broken. External applica-
lions of liniments are restoring the
arm to natural condition.
Mr.. w. H. Bible was up from Mo-
hawk Thursday. He tells us that his
sale of Poland China hogs Melted
him more than $2,50O.O0. He will
offer for sale this week, his house
and lot at Mohawk. This is a large
new dwelling of eleven rooms with
modern porch of more than 100 feet
in length. Mr.. Bible tells us that he
is going with his family to Colorado,
near Denver, where he hopes his
vife's health will be benefited.
