Pas out playin' cards-er some thin"
 Well then, suppose we three go in and see 1t. I think it is going to be real good"
 You kiddin' us?" the boy asked doubtfully.
 Come on." And in they went.
 The electric piano was grinding out a merry tune as the urchins, with open mouths and staring eyes found seats. Soon the peanuts and candy had gone the usual way.
 "We never been here before," con- fided the girl to the bachelor.
 Then the picture flashed on the screen Those wonderful scenes! White fairies, silver lakes, snowy elouds-all were there in profusion.
 Ages later the picture ended and the trio filed out to the street.
 "Mach obliged" the boy timidly said to the man and the kids ran down the street toward home.
 MT. Bachelor jerked a handker- chief from his pocket and blew his nose. Of course he had a cold-what else could it have been?
 Some there are who say the moving pictures are the devils own work. We are unable to say. But our opinion is, that if such be the case, the dew il's work has improved in quality in recent centuries.

THE PARADE
TWENTY YEARS AGO

In a series of little paragraphs un- der the heading, Twenty Years Ago" we find one which reads: Running a country newspaper was not busi- ness" The paragrapher was right. But the war certainly has shown the editors and owners of country news papers that their business is a busi- ness after all and must be run on business principles.
 The good old days when the editor could loaf around with a pipe in his mouth and accept eord-wood on sub scriptions are no more. During the war, the value of the paper to the community and to the country at large was clearly demonstrated. His full share of the burden of helping to win the war fell on the country ed itor and he bore it bravely and loy- ally. Here and there weekly paper has 'gone to the wall" but largely they have met all conditions and giv- en splendid service to home and coun- try.
 And out of it all has come great good for the paper because it has been demonstrated beyond any ques- tion that advertising pays. The gov ernment has learned it in the Liber- ty Loan drives; the postmaster has been convinced by the demand for War Savings Stamps; the local Red Cross has discovered it through the response made to their appeals in the press; the committees in charge of the various drives for war activities will admit their labors were greatly lessened by publicity given to their campaigns in the home papers.
 During all these demands for free publicity the editors gave of their space, which after all is their sole stock in trade. Expenses went up. The cost of material and labor ad- vanced, but the government continued to demand the support of the country newspapers. Munition anufactur- CTS, dealers in supplies for the army and navy, even laborers on govern ment work were all paid and paid we'll but the loyal home newspaper trud- ged on under the added load without cry or whine.
 Now the war is won and the coun- try newspaper owner has the satisfac- tion of knowing that he did his bit to the limit. But he has learned that running his paper is business after ha xxystt dam and fho treatment accorded other business men. He has a right to it. In his plant he has an investment equal to the average stock of merchandise carried in any store in his town. He must meet his bills on much shorter time than in the days refore Ire war and he is entitled ID tl:e casi. discount as well as the grocer, the druggist and any other business man.
 The postoffice department taught him a valuable lesson when it de- manded that all unpaid subscriptions must be stopped. The country edi- tor has been too easy going. He has permitted himself to be imposed on too long. In order to exist today he must do business as other men do business, and the town that wants a newspaper must treat that newspaper as they do the bank or the telephone company.
 Yea, the paragrapher was right. Twenty years ago running coun- try newspaper was not business and that was why the country editor wore patches on the seat of his trousers and lived on free tickets to the mis- sionary teas. It is different today and it is going to be even more so to- morrow.

A Restless Night
Lord Mayor Enters 10th Day
of Hunger Strike in Very
Weakened Condition.

London. Sept. 21.-Lord Mayo
MacSwineey of Cork passed very
restless night at Brixton prison,
where he entered, this morning, the
40th day of his hunger strike, &C
cording to a bulletin issued by the
Irish Self-Determination league. He
had some sleep, but it was quite fit
ful, and he was very weak this
morning, the bulletin stated.
When asked the direct question
whether MacSwineyiwas being fed,
a home office official said this morn
ing:
Not that we know of, but you
must remember his relatives have
free access to him."
This is the first time officials have
qualified the statement that as far
as the governments doctors know
the lord mayor is not receiving
nourishment.
The prison physician reported this
morning that MacSwiney was con-
siderat1y weaker than he was yes

Heavy Guard Is
Placed Around
Customs House
Federal Officers Take Utmost
Precautions to Prevent Rep.
etition of Wall Street Dis.
aster After Warning.

New York, Sept. 21.-The' New
York customs house today was under
the heaviest guard in its history, be-
cause of the warning received yes
terday that the Wall street explo-
sion last Thursday would be fol-
lowed this afternoon with blowing
up of the great government struc-
ture.
Although both federal and local
authorities were inclined to regard
as hoax the postcard received by
Collector Edwards, setting 2 o'clock
as the hour for the second explo>
sion. they took no chances.
Office workers, making their way
down the canyon of lower Broad
way this morning, found scores of
coast guards, carrying rifles and
side arms enterin the customs house
In addition, scores of United States
customs guards were on duty. Every
one entering the structure was close
ly questioned. ~1.
Federal aud police authorities this
morning admittedly were as far as
ever from a solution of the mystery
surrounding the explosion that
spread death and destruction in Wall
street last Thursday
Hope of developments from ques-
tioning Edwin p. Fischer, lawyer
and former employe of the French
high commission, and Alexander
Brailovsky, Russian journalist, went
glimmering with the commitment of
the former for psychopathic obser-
vation in Bellevue hospital and the
unconditional release of the latter
after authorities had satisfied them
selves that he had nothing to do
with the tragedy.
An epidemic of sudden illness"
and visits from out-of-town rela-
tives" was particularly noticeable
among customs house employees and
lwoer Manhattan workers this morn
ing.
William ("Big Bill") H. Edwards,
collector of internal revenue, was
early at work, however, and asserted
that 2 o'clock would find him at his
desk. Although also regarding the
postcard warning. as a joke, he de-
clared that "every thing the law al
lows" has been done to safeguard
the lives of workers in the building.

lack Piickford Sued
Fer Dresses Ordered
Before Wife's S Death

Paris, Sept. 2l.-Jack Pickford is
being sued for $4,000 by five dress
making houses which allege the
money is due them for gowns and
other garments ordered by his wife.
Olive Thomas. whose subsequent
death from mercurial poisoning was
a sensation to the entire world.
The gowns, it is alleged, were
ordered by the late Miss Thomas in
the week preceding the poisoning.
Olive spent much of her time in the
most sumptuous of the dressmaking
establishments. She had ordered
fifty dresses and three fur coats, one
of ermine and one seal and one Of
mink. She had had but two fittings
and none of the garments had been
delivered. The claimants, however,
argue that orders were definitely
given, and threaten to seize Pick
ford's trunks for surety unless he
makes payment before he leaves
Paris.
1t was stated here today that the
$300,000 insurance carried on the
late star was held by the motion pic
ture producer to whom she was un-
der contract. 1t was jointly writ
ten by several large New York un-
derWriters.

Day Set Apart
By Governor to
Honor Red Men
Citizenssof State, and Schools
Especially, Urged to Observe
Friday as American
Indian Day.

Lincoln, Sept. 2l.-(Special)-
Governor McKelvie, in Difference to
an expression of the legislature a
year and a half ago, has designated
next Friday as American Idnian
day. He requests its observance
throughout the state, in the follow
ing proclamation:
The study of the history of the
American Indian, who must be re-
garded as the first inhabitant of
the continents of North and South
America, is of great interest, espe-
elally to the minds of the young
er students in our schools. There
is. "a peculiar charm in reading the
habits and manners of those
primitive tribes that fascinates
and holds attention of the reader.
We have a large number of the
remote descendants of those prim-
eval inhabitants of America in
our state, who have taken on. to
considerable degree, the customs
of the present civilization. They
are living under and are subject
to our constitution and laws and
have been found in all of our late
wars actively supporting our gov
ernment.
That we may give public recog-
milton and appreciation of theie
facts, we have set apart the last
Friday in September.-as American
Indian day. |, therefore, as gov
ernor of the state of Nebraska,
call attention to Friday, the 24th
day of September, 1920, as Ameri-
can Indian day and recommend
that it be so observed by the peo-
pie and especially the schools of
the state,
