A GENUINE FRIEND.
If you are really interested in your
friend, as you seem to be, you should
go to her and tell her that unless she
wakes up right now it will be too late
She is paving the way to lose her char
acter, as well as her friends. Make
her understand that this man is anus
ing himself with her just as a cat
plays with a mouse. He may feed her
on flattery, which goes straight to some
girls heads, and then be the very first
one to make the vilest and most slur-
ring remarks about her. A girl should
know that If a man is not true to his
wife he will not be true to her. Why
women will deliberately allow the low
est type Of man to wreck their lives is
plead with your friend to give up this
human vulture before she has lost
everything.

W. G.'s Exchanging Policy.

We, started the Star off with pol
icy That has never been changed. It
was to boom Marion and Marion men
against all outsiders. Every enterprise
was given all the attention the traffic
would bear.
In the early days this might not have
been much, but as the paper grew in
size and circulation more space was
devoted to the boom business. We
exploited railroads that never got be-
yond the blueprint and we saw smoke
rolling out Of the chimneys of factories
before the excavations were made for
the foundations.
III Marion man wanted a state Of
flee or congressional nomination, be
ne Republican or Democrat, his cause
was the Stars cause against all com
ers. Our railroads were not all built,
the factories did not all come to town
nor did our Marion men all get office,
work.
The new counter across the combina-
tion business and editorial room soon
justified itself. Though never crowded
by day. it was at times rushed to its
capacity by night, being long enough
only for two to sleep on comfortably.
Editor and Publisher Harding was
still doing all the outside work--report-
ing, soliciting ads and making use of
his personality in advancing the good
will of the paper. AS for me. I took a
turn now and then at writing socalled
editorials and paragraphs and going out
after an occasional big story" My
stuff always got over because it made
copy.

A Rare Combination.

Something like this ought to be said
here, If anywhere We did not labor
under false pretences in the old Star
office, W. G. and I, We did not take
ourselves too seriously. He never
slapped me on the back and I never
praised him for anything he did. We
didn't 'slop over" Always we ham,
mered back and forth at each other in
splendid good humor, and there is moth
ing to regret. Our relations did not
change when he became Employer. Ev-
erything remained the same as when
we were business partners. The Star
was his baby now, but 1t was still
mine to chuck under the chin. Some
times ] made it say goo" and smile.
W. G. was making the paper &C, and
| contributed my mite in the way of
helping him. He was the responsible
head, and as such he, and nobody else,
is entitled to credit. But for his in
domtable will, his unshrinking courage
and his talent for getting on the pro-
ducing side of the COW the Star would
have persisted in the early days of its
reconstruction.

ter business men that Warren G. Hard
ing, but he was a rare combination of
the two.

Tramp Printer With a Valet.

Shorty was a recurring ray Of light

CLOTHES"
SCORES TREMENDOUS
HIT IN BIG CITIES

Some unique theatrical history
has been made by Civilian
Clothes" the stage play from
which Thomas Meighan's first
Paramount picture was adapted.
The play opened in New York in
the fan of 1919 with Thurston Hall
and Olive Tell in the leading roles,
1t had an unusually successful run,
but after several months had to be
taken on the road in fulfillment of
previously made contracts. Making
profitable journey across the
country, Civilian Clothes finally
reached Los Angeles, There it
seemed settled for all times, play
ing week after week to capacity
audiences. Its unprecedented run
in the California city led the pro
ducers to believe that New Workers
hadn't seen anywhere near enough
of it, and in the summer of 1920 it
returned for n second Broadway
run, this time with William COurte-
nay in the leading part.
The photoplay version of Civil
ian Clothes" Is said to be no less
attractive than the stage version.
Thomas Meighan, well known for
his appearances in such pictures as
Male and Female" "Why Change
Your Wife" and 1.-THE Prince
Chap" is congenially cast as the
virile overseas captain who marries
a society girl and returns home in
civilian clothes, only to be snubbed
by the wife. The manner in which
he converts her to democracy IL
amusing in the extreme.
This great Paramount feature
opens a three days run at the 81
theater today. 1t is one t the big
successes of the year, and should
draw capacity houses at each show
for the next three DAYS
