We are told that the walking and

for over half q century, among the
best attested Of natural wonders.
II IL related that a party Of sailors,
wandering inland. sat down to rest
under a tree. gust Of wind shook
to earth several dead and brown
leaves. These, after remaining prone
on the ground for q few minutes. pro-
ceeded to show signs Of life and crawl
toward the trunk, which they ascend
ed. aid attached themselves to their
respective twigs.
Hence. the sailor-men, who promptly
ran away. said the spot was bewitched.
The simple fact turned out to be
that the so-called leaves were really
leaf-shaped insects. having long. pen
dulous legs. which could be folded out
Of sight. and possessing the chame-
leon-like power Of varying their color
to correspond with that Of the foliage
they were clinging to.
Upon being shaken to the ground,

NEWSPAPER CHARACTER

The present campaign Is tu: ling
the attention OF the public to the re-
cognized value Of newspaper adver-
tising Not only are the committees
using magazines, but they are using
the small and sometimes despised
country newspaper.
II is a recognition Of the fact that
the small newspaper has a good class
OF readers. the type Of man who Is
conservative, the man who THINKS,
and the man who does not rashly
accept every verbal statement heard.
1t is also recognition Of the fact
that the newspaper that reaches this
type Of reader must be very careful
Of its statements
We know this may sound like q
joke to some, we know that many
people will earelessly say that you
can see anything In the newspa Der,
but that you can not depend upon
It.
II may be true that much news
is colored and distorted. but the
small country editor Is much more
careful about his news stories than
he is given credit for being
He seldom repeats scandalous
sst0ry, without verifying the facts
as reported to him. and then he sup
presses many OF the features tina. are
bad. should always do so. unless the
publication is considered essential to
protect the public welfare.
Then to. the printed page always
stands. The spoken word may not
be recalled. but It is quickly forgot
ten. the printed page stands there
always as evidence. II may be fer
gotten, but II can be revived In times
to come The result is that the man
who writes for he weekly paper, with
time for careful consideration, with
opportunity for passion to cool and
temper his remarks, is more apt to
be conservative and cautious than
the one who takes the stump, or .he
platform. especially II the latter
speak extemporaneously. as many Of
them do.
With all due respect for the elo-
quent and able speaker, we believe
the influence Of the printed pag, is
bound to be greater. and be Iaore
