" ANVIL bCShn oD
to Lowden may be summarized from
his speeches as follows:
Colonel Frank o. Lowden, Of
Illinois, is campaigning for the
presidency under false colors.
He claims to be a business
man and a farmer. He has no
record in either line Of endeavor
that entities him to any more
consideration than any other
multi-m.!lionaire
Associate Win Wealth.
AS a business man Colonel Low
den always has been associated
with the great corporate inter
ests, and as a farmer he has
raised fancy stock as a hobby,
renting out most OF his 4500-acre
estate to tenant farmers to till
the soil for him.
No Record in Congress.
The Illinois governor also
claims to be q statesman. A sur
vey of his record during three
terms in congress show his &C
co~mplishments, either positive
or negative, to have been neg
ligihie.
AS governor Of Illinois he has
made some recommendations as
to improvements in the states
system of bookkeeping which the
legislature approved. These rec
concentrations were labeled bud
get system something which
many other states have, including
South Dakota, and which Leonard
Wood established in Cuba with
out advertising the fact, some
twenty years ago.
His Family's Taxes Cut.
Colonel Lowden, as governor,
also appointed q state tax COM
mission and that commission, 1t
has been reported to me, re-
duced the aggregate assessment
for taxation purposes of the Pull
man Sleeping Car company by
more than SIT 900, 900. The Gov
ernor and his family own a large
block Of the stock Of this con
Germ. Mrs. Lowden Is reported
10 be the owner Of Pullman stock
worth 100000.
Corporations Get or Easy.
In ad iition Colonel Lowden's
public utilities commission fixed
the valuation, so it is reported,
OF the Chicago traction compaA-
ies, elevated and surface lines)
at 1922, 000, 900 for rate making
purposes, and his tax commission
fixed the valuation Of the same
properties for taxation purposes
VI only $50, 900, 600.

No Sympathy for Farmers.

Colonel Lowden speaks Of bust
ness men suffering under heavy
burdens. We know here in this
state that the farmers and labor
ers suffer more, but he failed to
mention this and failed to show
any sympathy for this class"

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
BY MARY MARSHALL s. DUFFKN-

In perfect fairness any one has n per
feet right to ring your front bell or
knock at your door.
An agent who comes to try to sell you
havoring extract may annoy you IL he
comes TO coll you to the door In the midst
OF a busy round of homework or when
you are receiving callers, but no has
really committed no ofiense.
You owe him at least a defnite, but
courteous. refusal to buy.
There always is an effective way to dis
miss an unwelcome caller without being
rude.
There are ways OF refusing admittance
as effective as slamming the door In an
intruder's face.
II an agent comes and you feel that he
ia taking an undue length of time in
stating the object Of his cali you are en-
titled to interrupt him and ask eour-
teously:
"Win you please tell me briefly what 1
can do for you? am very busy"
Il am sorry, but do not wish any"
is very definite, but courteous, way Of
dismissing the would-be sales person, or
you may add:
ITO detain you would only be wasting
your time as well as my own, as I can
not make any purchases"
Sometimes housewives listen for half an
hour to the glib speech of a persistent
agent, and then, when at last the agent
goes, without having made any sales, they
blame, not themselves for having detained
the agent and wasted their own time. but
the agent
Now, no agent ever really remains to
take your time unless he feels that there
is at least chance OF your purchasing
his goods.
1t Is never the part of kindness to
yield to the request that you listen to
an agents sales talk when you know that
there is not a chance of your ultimate
purchases Copyright, 1920.

So Puss set out with the little package

castle, where the little baby was to be
christened in sight of courtly lords and
la dies and the fairies Of the wood. And
when the King and Queen saw Puss they
rose from the throne and said:
"Ah, here comes the son of the famous
Puss in Boots, for never have we seen a
cat with red-topped boots since the time
his illustrious parent paid us a visit"
And after that Puss Junior was led up
to the throne by two pages.
Welcome, Puss Junior cried the
lovely Queen.
Welcome, Sir Cat" cried the King,
and he shook our little hero by the paw.

HARRINGTON TO WRITE FEATURE PHOTOPLAYS
After the Success Of the Two-Ree Edgar, Comedies

Booth darlington, Hoosier writer and
Indianapolis citizen, will write long fea-
ture photoplays, which Will be released
by the Goldwyn Picture Corporation, it
became known here today.
The rights to these photoplays, which
will be the first of their kind written for
the screen by Mr.. Harrington, were Sc
cured from Harrington Baker, the
authors cousin, through Henry Hertz
brun.
Many fattering offers for the rights
were received by Mr.. Baker, said Mr..
Hertzbrun, before he recently went to
India on a picture mission and left in
doubt the fate of the projected photo
plays.
The decisive influence which caused
| Goldwyn finally to be selected to pro-
duce the pictures was the great financial
and artistic success of the Edgar series
of two-reel comedies which Mr.. Tarking
ton wrote for production at the Culver
City studios.
The Edgar" stories known officially
as The Adventures and Emotions of Ed
gar Pomeroy," have proven popular from
the beginning, and officers of the Gold
wyn company believe that they give
every indication that Mr.. Harrington has
mastered the art of writing original
screen themes.
In manner, these successful short-reel
comedies will now prove to have been
missionary workers arousng the interest
Of the motion picture audiences so that
when the first Of the longer photoplays,
written about and for adults, are pro-
duced, they will already have decided
appeal TO motion picture fans.
These Edgar comedies have proved
highly successful at the Circle, where
"Edgars Jonah Day" is being presented
this week, in addition to Doug Fair
banks in The MolIycoddle."
