Creel's Propaganda.

sr
From the report Of the joint COM
mittee on printing it is disclosed that
the administration attempted to con-
duct and did conduct a propaganda in
the schools in behalf Of the league Of
nations. It was done through Creel
and the committee on public informa-
ton. This attempt to mould the plas-
tic minds of children in America away
from Americanism is thing which it
is difficult fttingly to characterize
within the limits of ordinary language.
It demonstrates, however, to any
thinking mind the depth and scope Of
the scheme to convert this country to
interilationalism and enmesh it in the
entanglements< of Europe. National

Memories Of Old Days
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

Richmond increased it's population
4,09S between 1900 and 1910. The
1900 census was 1925, while the 1910
population totalled 22,324. This was
an increase of nearly % per cent. On
the eve of the Civil war, Richmond
had population Of 6,603, which was
greatly decreased by the call to arms.
A heavy head of hair probably saved

result of the accident, the man did
not suffer any serious injury, so far
as the physician could ascertain.

Ripping Rhymes
USELESS REGRETS
BY WALT MASON

I'm old and badly on the blink;
have no brains with which to think,
no teeth with which to eat; my head
is bald. my ears are blind. and rheuma-
tiz, the compound kind, is sizzling in
my feet. l often gnash my toothless
jaws, and wiring my hands, with ample
cause, regretting past mistakes; once
was quite husky lad, who didn't need
a liver pad, and knew no pains or
aches. I didn't guard my precious
health, which was better thing than
wealth, better thing than fame;
logged along with needless fools and
violated all the rules, and now I'm
stiff and lame. / trace each ailment
to it's source, to conduct foolish, vain
and coarse, in days when 1 was young;
because Of breaks made long ago
now have corns on every toe, a spa
vim on each lung. l see the young
folks go their way, and turn the night
time into day, where sports chase by
in streams; they paint the town three
shades of red when they should safe
ly be in bed, and dreaming moral
dreams And when they're, old they'll
pay the bill; they'll look back from
lifes western hill, regretting conduct
wrong; and there would be no bills

row way when they were young and
strong.

Dinner Stories

well. no., was the reply. But you
could give them a gentle hint, you

The marker promised to do so and
day or two later on, observing a
player pocketing a piece Of chalk, he
approached the culprit and remarked:
You'll excuse me. sir, but are you
connected in any way with the milk

women and children have been burned to death
or seriously injured by fires that could have been
prevented. Tragedies on Christmas day may be
prevented by the use of common sense.
A fire prevention society. through it's secre-
tary, has prepared the following statement,
which all of us should read and take to heart:
Christmas and it's joys should not be allowed
to blind men to the ordinary rules of safety for
the protection of the home and the lives of the
family. And yet at holiday time parents who
try to keep their children free from even the
possibility of danger will install in the heart of
their homes, where it is sure to be the center of
attraction for the little ones, the most inflam-
mable thing that ever enters 1.-THE ordinary
evergreen Christmas tree. While it grows more
dry and dangerous in the warm rooms they drape
it with cotton for snow, tissue paper loops and
tinsel for decorations, stick candles all over it,
hang up toys that every child will grab for, and
then trust to luck and Providence for safety
from hazard that may prove as dangerous and
as deadly as a rattlesnake or an open key OF gun
powder. Just to play fair and take his share OF
the chances pater familias often surrounds him
self with pillows, puts cotton hair and whis-
kers and makes himself more of menace than
help in case fire should start.
"And fires do start, thousands of them every
holiday season. Firemen look forward to run
OF Christmas tree tires JUST as tnev ulo 10 ou III
of July fires before the Sane Fourth movement
put an end to them in many places. Why not
Sane Christmas as we'll as Sane Fourth? Why
should the children's festival be made the means
of destroying hundreds of lives and thousands of
homes? Use little electric lights instead of can
dies, asbestos instead Of cotton, non-combustible
decorations instead of inflammables, and then
watch the tree with the utmost care especially
when the children are around it. It's better to
be safe than sorry especially with the little ones
at Christmas time"

The New Duties for the Vice-President

The administration of our governmental af-
fairs should benefit by the decision of President
elect Harding to enlist the services of the new
Vce-president.
Mr.. Coolidge brings to his new tasks wide
experience in legislative and executive capacities,
and it would be shame to permit this ability to
lie dormant. If President-elect Harding carries
out his determination to make the vce-presi-
dency vital factor in national affairs, the post
will hereafter be sought by men of ability and
acun1en.
No one questions the ripe wisdom and execu-
tive judgment of Mr.. Coolidge, for as governor of
Massachusetts, he demonstrated both his knowl-
edge of the basic principles of our government
and his ability as a forward-looking executive
Senator Harding has evidenced an unmistak-
able tendency to recognize the value of co-opera-
ton in administering public affairs, for the
purpose Of attaining results, and he will make
the most of the presence of Mr.. Coolidge and of
the experience which he has gained in the years
of his public service.

ADDS MORE EQUIPMENT

F. E. Cawley of the Klean Klothes

equipment several of the latest de-
vices for the successful cleaning and
pressing of clothes.
A high pressure steam boiler has
been attached to the Hoffman press,
a steam dry room, steam cleaning

have been added.
There are many advantages to be
gained by the addition of this equip
ment, among them increased output,
tending to promptness, and the fact
that the plant can run in any kind of
weather.
Mr.. Cawley has a we'll equipped
plant and is justly proud of it. He
invites the public to call and go thru
it and he will explain the advantages
of the system he is using.
