Borrow the Paner

It once was the practice of editors
to anathematize the newspaper Dor
rover The mutations of time, how
ever, are changing all this. A New
York state country editor says, eve
don't want anyone to miss reading
The Record. Therefore, we say, if
you can't subscribe and have one of
your own, borrow your neighbours. +"
A wideawake newspaper publisher
in Colorado says: Subscribe, bor-
row it," Also, Read this paper and
after that lend it to one of your
friends"
1t is of first Importance to the
editor that everyone in the commun-
ity should read his paper, and it is
not a matter of life or death with
him whether the person subscribes
for it; buys it at news stand or
borrows it. AS for the big dailies,
not long ago one in Chicago request
ed it's readers to borrow the paper in
stead of buying it, inasmuch as the
high cost and shortage of print stock
made the sale of papers far from
profitable.

Ekay Goes to the Fair

When is candy too good to win
prize? When it looks so tempting
that It is eaten before the judge has
a chance to look at it. That is what
happened to a would-be fudge exhibit
which Miss Elvira Hoenk, one of the
high school girls, had prepared for
the fair. Miss Elvira is renowned as
preparer Of particularly good
fudge; the kind that combines
ness, and all other attributes of an
ideal specimen of the genus; and she
made a plate of it for the fair. 1t
was sent down, but it was never
judged; nobody but the one who cap
tured it knows upon whom the guilt
falls; and he probably. feels that it
was we'll worth the twinges of con-
science he is suffering.
The little house built by Home
Builders Company, caused a good
deal of comment and speculation on
the part of the youngsters at the
fair. They wanted to know how
much it would cost to see the in
side; they begged to be Informed as
to whether there were truly men
and ladies and babies inside;" they
asked their daddies to buy it for
them as a doll house; and some be-
lieved implicitly in the reality of the
amazingly large forget-me-nOts in
the window boxes.
The announcing of the results of
the Queen contest disclosed a surpris-
ing number of unhailed prophets
in the county, all of whom had
known beforehand that "she would
get it''-"she' being Miss Baum
gartner, who was named as Queen.
This same prophetic strain became
evident during the horse and auto
races, the prophets however, having
a disappointing habit of delaying
their clairvoyant remarks until the
races we're over.
The man who did the parachute
drop sailed slowly back and forth in
front of the crowds on the grand
stand several times in a most ag-
gravating manner, and finally
dropped on the other side of the fair
grounds, in spite of the assurance of
Mr.. Cherry that The would fall in
front of the grandstand," and that
he was getting his altitude" a re-
mark which, tho most impressive
was not quite clear.

Lands Red Cross Work

r. G. Brandon, formerly director of
Civilian Relief for the Atlantic Divi-
sion of the Red Cross, has recently
accepted the position of Associate

and will reside in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Brandon has been for several
years closely identified with social

in the West. Prior to entering Red

months as Bronx Borough Secretary

ton Society, doing family welfare
work and community organizing.

Oregon. Here he assisted in a social
and industrial survey of the state,
made by the Consumers League. He
was afterward associated with the
Northwest Playground and Recrea-
tion Association, and acted as play
ground and recreation director for
the city of Portland. In 1919 Mr..
Brandon became actively engaged in
Red Cross work in the capacity of
assistant director of Civilian Relief
in the Atlantic Division.
Of the future of Red Cross work
in this Division, Mr.. Brandon said:

inexorable law of supply and demand. One would think that the woods would be full of actors who can act per- fectly we'll before camera. But the effort of the performer is far from being purely mechanica1-a mere re- action to megaphoned demands. If he is called upon to register grief or love or happiness, he must register ex- actly, or the screen knows him no more.
 Up to this time, not great deal of attention has been paid to the rights of the author. It is true that large sums have been paid for the picture rights to well-l1nown plays and stories, but the money was really paid for the advertising the properties had received. The picture people for the most part had singular indifference to the feel ings of an author. Time after time an author parted with the picture rights in all good humor, only to learn that an autocratic director diff fered with him as to the manner in which the story should be treated. All directors believe firmly in the virtues of a happy ending. IL is thought to have most benevolent effect upon the box-office.
 As one result of the managerial at titude, some authors preferred to fore go the money to be gained by selling screen rights. Others sold the rights and carefully avoided seeing the pie tured results. They knew their ugly

the canals would have fooled the grandfather of all the gondoliers-ex- cept that it happened to be winter time, and the night before the picture was to have been taken, the canals were frozen over. Companies were carted all over the country. Expen- sive properties were purchased One man bought the entire contents of a bankrupt restaurant, from fish studies to tapestries.
 If the original idea proved worth less, the directors were given ecvte blanche to keep mulling away before the camera until some marketable thing was produced. Sometimes the result bore not the slightest resem- blance to the raw material furnished the master of ceremonies.
 One hears the most astounding things and discovers that they are true. A pretty girl worked on .

heroine-in story in which the whole point was that the heroine was ugly would swish through in a Paquin gown, and langu:dly lift perfect arm against background of velvet to call attention to classic profile. Also, authors were not always treated with loving care by the producers. There is an historic instance of one author who wound up $40000 out of pocket. He does not know precisely how.
 But the combination of big stars was followed by a combination of little stars, and so producers were set a. thinking. It was obvious that authors could not combine of themselves, first because authors could never agree, and secondly because there is no form of organization copious enough to take in all who write for the pictures. But producers might combine groups of authors. That has been done.
 The important fact underlying this grouping of authors is that the pro- ducers have come to the conclusion that the story IS as important, almost. as the star In this, they are follow ing the example of the legitimate sage. Not many years ago emphasis wes placed upon the name of the star in theatrical advertising. Today far more is placed upon the excellence Of the story. One of the most successful of the picture magnates holds that tho star is becoming increasingly unirnr portant.
